I’m currently reading a book that roughly translates to “The killer moon” that went out of its way to make a planet seem alien by literally inventing words and terminologies. In that setting, a year lasting longer and shorter serves a purpose, as it links to planets otherworldly history and setting.

Remnant, on the other hand, despite being quite liberal with the use of languages in a setting where everyone only seems to speak English, canonically has the 4 seasons and doesn’t use made up words to describe their more unique features, aka dust, aura, semblance and magic…now none of what I just typed directly point to them having years as long as us, but on the scale of likelihood for the duration of a year on Remanant, the balance leans more on it lasting as long as ours rather than not at the moment.
