Hydaelyn is a spherical planet

As long as we're asking the tough questions: Can you prove this premise you're working off?

If you stand in Kugane and a friend stands in Ul'dah, and you share the positions of your shadows by linkshell at exactly the same time, they'll be the same, despite having a full continent between you in either direction. No matter where you are in the world, the sun is in the same place relative to your position, the clocks are the same, all of it. That shouldn't be the case on a spinning ball-shaped Hydaelyn.

And have you ever seen anything disappear over the horizon? I haven't. There's usually a mountain or a zone border long before you could, to disguise the mind-blowing truth: FLAT HYDAELYN.
