There needs to be some way of telling how much time has passed in game from first entering the starter cities to killing titan, to killing despair itself.

It would help the story make a lot more sense. Particularly when you get things like "the scions are pretendjng to disband and won't see eachother as often" to the next quest being "let's get the gang back together"

Been like 2 days dude. Gonna get a restraining order for Graha.

So right next to that Eorzea clock? Add a Eorzean calendar date that only advances with MSQ progression.
