Players had two weeks between the Normal difficulty to prep and get their crafters ready for the occasion.<\/p>\n<p>This particular raid, the Arcadion, was absurdly close. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/clips.twitch.tv\/SullenSmoothSoybeanFeelsBadMan-WioA8hHZ6gA-laO2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As called by Mogtalk<\/a>, the raid teams Grind and Serenity cleared the last fight in the exact same <em>minute<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In order to call who&#8217;d won, judges had to rely on Eorzea Time\u2014an in-game clock that works off a much faster timescale than we&#8217;re used to in the real world, governing things like gathering node spawns and the like. An Eorzean Hour is roughly three minutes, making this the closest a game like FF14 gets to a &#8220;photo finish&#8221;\u2014where a snapshot of the finish line is needed to decide a race\u2014and it&#8217;s supremely cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Grind] got the Eorzean Time of 3:14,&#8221; announces commentator Frosty, &#8220;Serenity is world second with the Eorzean Time of 3:21.&#8221; Since an Eorzean minute is roughly three seconds, that shakes out to a time differential of 21 seconds between gold and silver.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of actual completion, the race itself was just as fast\u2014starting and finishing in the same day, with both Grind and Serenity knocking over four fights in 8 hours and 59 minutes from the moment the servers opened. Here&#8217;s a screenshot documenting the exact clear times in GMT from the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/mogtalk.org\/arcadion-lightweight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mogtalk site<\/a> (for context, fight times are marked in order as M1S-M4S).
