Compressed time is a gameplay mechanic used in a lot of sandbox titles such as The Elder Scrolls titles, the newer Fallout games and especially in Simcity-type games. The gameplay kind of relies upon time passing, but nobody wants to wait around for a full actual day to get something done... so...

FFXIV has the same compression ratio as FFXI did; it's 12:1, so an Eorzean day is two hours. I remember when I started playing WoW after leaving FFXI the first time and being really bummed out that it would always be nighttime in-game when I played, because I always played after work, on CST, while playing on an EST server.
