    UI suggestion Local and Game clock displayed at the same time

    Would it be possible to have the Eorzea clock and Local Time be displayed at the same time. When playing FFXIV I like to see the Eorzea time so I am not missing out on stuff like dol unspoiled nodes, but I would also like to know what time it is in local time so I don't play the game too long and miss out on real life events.

    Thus you should make the UI capable of showing both clocks at the same time.

    Something small but nice to have as an addition. Would like to see my local time and game time at the same time.

    Ummm.... local time, that would be on your phone, your computer (desktop), your alarm clock, your watch, the microwave in the kitchen, the cable box next to your TV, and like 20 other places in most homes.
    So as you do not play the game too long, several of those devices have the ability to set timers and alarms.

    > local time, that would be on
    > your phone,
    If I have it with me while playing, which I frequently don't, and would even less often actually look at it.

    > your computer (desktop),
    not in the same room

    > your alarm clock,
    not in the same room

    > your watch,
    ok, yes, this one's available

    > the microwave in the kitchen,
    not in the same room

    > the cable box next to your TV,
    don't have one (Netflix is so much cheaper and lets me watch shows whenever I want)

    > and like 20 other places in most homes.
    not in mine

    So, of all of those, my watch is the only one available, but I don't play while watching my watch. I play while watching the TV (PS4), so that would be a much more convenient place to show the local time than having to keep checking my watch repeatedly.

    Also, displaying the PS4's local time means it will be in sync with the timestamps in the chat log, which wouldn't be the case with any external clock unless both their times had just been set. When there's a timestamped message saying "Pull in 5 minutes" or something, I'd like to know when it's five minutes later.

    Sure, this is just a minor little convenience feature, but since the game can already show either clock, having it show both shouldn't be all that difficult to add. Even minor little convenience features can be worth small changes like that.
