Get rid of eorzea time and just use real time

But FFXIV is moving to regionally-located servers, so....

Your premise is wrong. You do not have to play on servers in your region.

My premise is correct. I'm fully aware you don't have to play on servers in your region, and in fact i advocated that in the relevant threads.

This gives people the additional choice of having the day/night cycle in sync with their time, or having it be completely different. That being said, I think most people (except perhaps graveyard shifters or other unusual hours) would like the game time to be close to their time if this were implemetned.

played too much WoW eh?

Nope, in fact I haven't played WoW for several years. That doesn't mean that every single thing that WoW did was bad and must be ignored and not present in any other game for the sake of distancing themselves from that piece of crap.

The problem is why even force us to make this choice? With the current system I can play on any server I want AND I get to see day and night in game. With your proposed system I and many others would have to choose what time of day in game we'd only ever see. Choosing a server/timezone doesn't help the problem at all.

The current system has no issues with it, so why fix it.
