If it helps, think geocentrically and work backwards: Perpetual summer for the north. The southern hemisphere doesn't get zero sunlight, just less (excepting the antarctic circle, of course...that's perpetual night/twilight). We can assume some mechanism that distributes imbalances (warmth, etc) between hemispheres.

But ultimately we will have to "disconnect" logic at some point anyway, like how we saw the calendar go through nearly 40 years during v1.0 yet nobody aged and the Garlean attack on Ala Mhigo remained "15 years ago" in the minds of the NPCs.

Here's a fun one: consider the thrust vectors required to de-orbit something from a lunar orbit in a controlled geostationary descent to its planetary companion (i.e. Dalamud). Kind of similar to how in Star Trek they were always establishing geostationary orbits over arbitrary points on a globe. It's only impossible for unpowered orbits.
