I run in real time as I've said above. Â I rarely bother with day/night sensitive dialog in game because of the discrepancy. Â One Eorzean day is a little over 1 hour real time (70 minutes), so it's difficult to get any serious scene does within a 1:1 Eorzean to character time conversion.
I do tend to go by the most common TZ on the server which appears to be US Eastern Time for Balmung. Â This does get odd since there are people I know of from 10 distinct time zones that play the game, probably more since I know groups getting event notices in GMT from multiple EU and further east TZ's.
Time's just relative.
A thought just occurred to me that it could actually be beneficial for the day/night cycles shifting so quickly when traveling. Say going through the desert of thanalan or even the peaks.... could be relatively interesting to set up camp when it becomes night but walk in the day to portray it's been several days/nights for the whole trip.
