I'm of the same mind as many here. I tend to use my own time as Eorzea's time, though I do use the current weather conditions in game in rp. This isn't the first MMO I've played were a day in game is much shorter than a real life day and that's just the way I've always done it. It's just easier that way.
As for the Aetheryte/travel discussion, I know the Aetheryte's are canon so I kind of take the middle ground on using them. Arielle doesn't like using them at all. They make her feel strange when she uses them, similar to the intro scene for those of us that aren't legacy players. She will almost always try to find another way to travel, even if it takes longer. Her sister, on the other hand, is more comfortable with using the Aetheryte's, but she doesn't abuse their use. She's practical in her use. Does she really need to be at such and such a place in a matter of seconds? Is it an emergency? If the answer is no, she will use use other means to get her destination (ie, chocobo, boat, wagon, etc). Same with the airships. The only time she will use them is if it is on official business for the Grand Companies and they require her to take the airship.
Just my 2 cents on how I rp it.
