Daylight Savings

[Habunake]

Is their a way to change it in game? As the DS clock could off-set Pal Park.

Considering the fact that the Japanese have no concept of DST, most likely, no.

 

[Habunake]

Oh, forgot about that fact...

Guess I have to sacrafice 1-day of Pal Park then/

 

[Zhen Lin]

That's probably one thing they're going to have to add in terms of functionality (or perhaps, the functionality already exists but is not exposed via a user interface your mom). I only have faint recollections about being asked about DST in Sapphire, since DST, and for that matter, winter and summer, are meaningless here.

They'll probably include it - but chances are they'll forget to accomodate the southern hemisphere. Whenever we go on or off daylight savings, my Animal Crossing clock screws up because it's trying to go on when we go off or the reverse.

I thought D/P totally uses the DS clock? I thought you can change it by changing the DS Clock.

 

[Habunake]

You can, but it offsets Pal Park by one day (it can tell if you cheat)

 

[Æsahættr]

Wouldn't it have been smarter to just have had the clock set by the DS clock at the start of the game, and then run off that time for the rest? Then again, with that function, one would have to change both clocks for daylight saving (if it's included).

Considering the fact that the Japanese have no concept of DST, most likely, no.

Even though it was included in the English release of G/S/C?

 

[Zhen Lin]

The Japanese version of GSC didn't have it.

 

[Transfinite]

Exactly my point.

 

[Zhen Lin]

My interpretation of the original question, given the context, was whether the Japanese version of DP, which the OP is playing, had DST or not, which it does not.
