Moon and another attributes of the real Earth. Why?

Please, stop. Im not talking about some "minor" things like water, air, trees, animals. These things really can be o the other planets, also having another shape.

But Im talking about the much more fundamental things, that make us think, that the game world- is the clone of the Earth. The Moon (one, visible only at night, have the same size), for example.

The world of the game- is something from imagination. Really hard to use imagination to create not the clone of the Earth? To make more different unusual locations, but not the deserts, plain and so on- like on the Earth? Only Chuning Mists is different, all other locations are the CLONES of the Earth landscapes

Another planet with the same colored seas, same air composition, same types of trees, many of the same/similar animals, and humans just like us. All of that stuff that surrounds us every moment of play and is astoundingly similar to real life, that's minor. But only one circle in the sky, that's major. That's gamebreaking and totally ruins my immersion.

As one man sad here, it is not a sci-fi. The world must have many similar things not to be frightened, to be comfort

Putting aside the fact that Eorzea had two moons for a moment...

Hate to break it to you, but Earth's moon is perfectly visible during the day nearly every single day and its orbit is such that its position in the sky relative to us and the sun varies thus giving us the phases. Eorzea's moon is quite exotic compared to that given that it always follows the same path in the sky in perfect opposition to the sun from our vantage point, is only ever visible at night, and yet still manages to have phases rather than always being in either a state of lunar eclipse or full moon depending on how perfect the opposition to the sun is.
