I treat Eorzean time like an estranged uncle. It's good to know he's there, I guess, but he doesn't have a great deal of influence on what I do or how I RP. Weather is like his girlfriend that he's lived with off and on for the last eight years and you're not sure if they're going to get married, have kids, or just keep breaking up and getting back together until the end of time. She's just so sporadic that you can't actually count on her to make any kind of impact. And if you place too much stock in her then all she'll really do is just mess things up by being consistently inconsistent. Kind of like living in Missouri.
In game sun/moon cycles and weather patterns are just there to give the game variety and flavor. Salt and pepper aren't the meal, they're just used to enhance it. All I really worry about is making sure that time makes sense for those I'm RPing with. Making sure that everyone is consistent in the session so that the RP makes sense is the most important thing to me.
+1 for Eorzean Standard Time. That's hilarious. Where does that put you now, though? Since you're on Daylight Savings Time, we mere mortals in the Central time zone are on EST. Do you now RP an hour behind?
