The order of and the days of the week are:

So far as I can tell, the days of the week listed above (Firesday, Earthsday, etc) never actually appear in the game. (I can’t speak to bonus content like the short stories off the top of my head, but should I ever run across any examples, I’ll take note of it.) This seems to be entirely Word of God, specifically a 2014 interview with localization director Michael Christopher Koji Fox, who states that the days of the week are the same as in Final Fantasy XI. (Cited here on the archived roleplayers’ forum.)

Gamerescape also has this handy reference page on Eorzean time.

Multiple sources heavily cite The Five Ages - An Eorzean Chronology, which appeared in 1.0 by way of “Dusty Tomes” found in various guilds. These texts didn’t return in the remake (except, amusingly, as a housing item), so we’re reliant on the fandom’s archivists to preserve them. When you see someone refer to “Dusty Tomes,” as in the roleplayers’ forum posts linked above, that’s what they’re talking about.

hot take?? but hard mode dungeons are amazing and I hate that they stopped making them because they

allow the devs to get more use out of old game assets

allow for fun new views of familiar environments (nighttime vs daytime, lush & pristine vs immense disrepair, normal fucked up vs supremely fucked up, and so on)

provide opportunity for microcosmic/hyperlocal non-MSQ storytelling (that people will still actually be motivated to do because of the dungeon requirement!)

provide opportunity for PROGRESSION of perhaps "forgotten" story beats

offer more options for gear progression and glamour

free us from the 50/50 chance expert roulette hellscape

help endgame not feel so completely stuck in the current zone or lore environment (feeling that right now in 7.3 especially)

GIMME YOUR HATS, MEOW!
