Get rid of eorzea time and just use real time

What the . . . . ? What does in game lore have to do with the question?

Maybe if you were to fully read my post and truly grasp the meaning of it's content you would understand how our real world calendar is incompatible with the game lore in regards to the application of elements to days of the months.

Since you probably wont read it, i'll make it short and to the point: In game months are made up of 32 days each. EACH MONTH HAS 32 DAYS IN GAME OKAY? It can't be synchronized to real world calendar and never will.

Does it matter? As long as the game cycles day and night who gives 2 fucks.

Well, I wouldn't mind playing in all daytime (most of the single person FF's are, after all), but being stuck in perpetual night or dusk/dawn, in every zone, would suck.

Your never ending stream of highly insightful posts, never ceases to amaze..

Notice that even Eorzea days (or Vana'diel) don't perfectly align to real world hours.

If 1 game day = 1 RL hour, certain players who log in at regular hours would be forever limited to whatever time-locked content was available during that time.

By having game days slightly shorter or longer than RL hours, a player who only plays from 5-9pm every Monday would still have access to all cycles of the moon and all hours of the day over time. (this is obviously very important for FFXI where there was a large amount of time-locked content)

Ya sound good on paper but no thanks i be plying 90% of my game life in the night that why there always a set rule of time in mmo games so people can enjoy both nigh and day within a short amount of time.

I really do not want 12 hour days and 12 hour nights... Way too long imo..

[Seraphe]

I guess I would like the 2~3 hour day.

I would hate this. I know a few people would can only get online at night. So they would be forced to play the game at night all the time. I'm sorry but that would get old quick.

I would like to see longer days and nights but not real time.
