    New Character Date of Birth error

    Today when I was making a new character I noticed something strange. Under Second Umbral Moon, when selecting a date after the 7th, it would all be one day behind IE the 8th is said to be the 7th, 9th the 8th. This would stop at the 30th, as instead reads as the 28th, with the 31st and 32nd also being two days behind.

    Checking other parts of the calender as well this seems to happen (with various degrees of have far off it is), but usually near the 30th mark.

    Well, our calendar is not based on 32-day months so if we want to have a correspondance between real life days and eorzean days, we must have some overlapping for some days each month.
    In your example, both the 7th and the 8th in this eorzean month are the same day in the real life month, same goes with the 29th and the 30th.

    Except if this is true than they are not consitent with it. I'm not looking at the calender right now but I do know the Second Astral month has 7 as the 7th, and 8th as the 8th. Almost all the ones that end up doing such an overlap are near the end of the month, with times where it ends up being 2 days behind instead of just one yet suddenly is back to normal at the start of the next and onwards.

    No, indeed, it is not consistant each month. How could it? Our month don't all have the same length!
    So sometimes, they are 3 overlapping days (february is treated as 29-day), sometimes 2 and more often 1.

    Ok, now this will be an interesting read. But ok, I just assumed that it was supposed to be something similar to ours, just with a couple more days per month.
