Time speculation

[ExKage]

New thoughts! Do fortnight and sennight use in-game use the Earth moonphases or Hydaelyn's? Sennight is a 'week' but Eorzea uses 8 days considering the moon phases and that there are 8 phases of 4 nights/days. Is Fortnight 14 days or is it 16?

It would use Hydaelyn's. There are a few times that a fortnight has been mentioned as the amount of time needed to do something, so at the very least, you've been adventuring for several months now.

My head-canon is that every major fight/dungeon eats at least a full day, or perhaps even 2-3 if it's an incredibly long one. I personally don't think we went through the entire Aetherochemical Research Facility in any short amount of time. And there are many times where Minfillia or others suggest you "take a break" after defeating a primal and the like, so you're likely down a day or two afterwards.

None of the NPCs have mentioned anything such as, "It's been a year since you joined The Scions, hasn't it?", so I'm just shooting for 6-9 months.
