It just doesn't cycle at all is the issue, and sleeping at an Inn will just progress to the next day. And since to get to the Finhead region you have to sleep on the ship it doesn't remain night. I'm just at a loss of what to do because it doesn't progress the cycle even outside the finhead (like at the scene with the entrance) is there a command to force it to be night?
It depends on the inn. If you sleep at Faun's tavern it progresses to the next day, but if you sleep at a normal inn normally it just advances time a few hours.
If you're at the Seashell and it's stuck, you may have to exit all the way to the world map and just wait until it gets dark if it doesn't advance while you're in the area. Try going into options and shortening day length if it doesn't seem to be working.
Also, if you're playing a new game, I remember being confused when my first day never ended but I think it wanted me to do one of the beginner level guild quests first.
I've tried sleeping in the inn at morning and it turned to the next day (at seashell). I've done the reducing length of days and exiting to world map but you cant be on the seashell access point while in the world map, the closest you can be is at hammerhead port (as far as I know). Sorry for the long thread, I just really wanna complete her story
