Except there's no way Hydaelyn is rotating at a speed such that 1 year is only 18 days. That's insane.
Lol in game it's not. But that's the conversion from in-game time to real life time. If every minute in Eorzea goes by every 2 1/2 seconds in real life, an entire year in Hydaelyn happens in 18 days our time. If we take OOC into this, IC time goes very much like in the real world. 60 seconds equal a minute. 60 minutes equal a bell. 24 bells equal a sun.
But then we must remember that while actual time passes in game, the actual time frame remains the same in game. Like in Sunday Comics, the characters don't ever grow up. Time doesn't ever really go on in game cuz then our characters would age over 20 years every 1 year we played the game. Too many events to implement every 18 days lol.
