By the by, if you overcame your pedagoguery, you could easily have compacted your point to a sentence. Sometime info bombing is actually counterproductive.

This would also eliminate confusion between the two time systems e.g. "Is that over the next real life day / jp midnight? or is it just one game day?" and prevent the ingame date from going drastically out of line with the time the game as originally set in as the years go by (in FFXI, the game started in the 900s C.E. and the current date in game is 1166 C.E.).
Oh he IS talking about an entire time system and not -just- lighting correspondence. He is actually talking about days, weeks, months and years corresponding to real life calendar...

How do I say...No, you sir, are wrong.
