Moon Phase Broken?

[ObeiKinstar]

Really not sure where to post this, looked all over and checked for dev tags but not really sure, feel free to move this where it belongs.

I'm a high lvl crafter and have done much study into the moon cycles. I have been running through Eorzea and noticed the moon, which appears to be in a waning gibbeus from the pic, but my widget shows moon in half moon cycle.

Is this broke like everything else?

I believe reading that Hyalderyn (sp?) has a total of twelve moons, maybe the representation on our desktop is a cummulative between them all? Other than that, yes i have noticed it.

Edit: ObeiKinstar, you are right, somehow in my mind i had mixed up a couple of posts and a dev. letter that spoke of the twelve moons (he meant our next twelve months). I have to admit i was wondering how i came to this conclusion aswell and was looking at the sky to find those elusive other 10 .

I'm fairly certain it has 2 moons and they move together as one.

You should have gone to the In-game bugs forum. They have a thread for this.

It is a bug. The widget shows the phase wrong.

Some people assume that moon phase does something for you in this game because it did something for you in FFXI, yet the Dev team never said it affects anything. From my personal experience trying to test the moonphase and stuff I have literally seen 0 difference while crafting between different moon phases and I think there is other elements at play this time around if not just a random number generator.

Absolutely wrong... My Character turns into Hugh Jackman during a full moon...

The moon phase widget is right, but the graphic is wrong in-game. I've studied it since Dodore's spawning conditions are based on the moon phase.

Thanks for posting!!

Would be awesome if I can get a Dev to confirm this

Good Luck with that, they love for things to be a mystery!

Really? o.O isn't it based on the weather??
