Haha, I'm from Australia! I love thta you mentioned that; I always forget that people from different parts of the world use different slang. :D
Yeah, I like your time frame for FFX, cause I figure she'd spend a day or two in the towns, a few days praying at the Fayth and a few days travelling between places.
I pictured FFX taking place over several months. Of course, at times I'll stretch it out to 6 months or more if I imagine they actually performed all of the "side quests" for whatever reason. (I make up storyline-related reasons for them to do so.)
I always put Shinra at about 10.
I think the Celsius flies around in a matter of hours for most places.
I always pictured X as taking a few months (3 or 4 if I have to name it, with the crew reaching the Calm Lands for the first time at 5 or 6 weeks - endgame sidequests take a long time!) and X-2 being more like 2 to 2.5 months - a couple weeks a chapter, and Vidina's like 3 weeks old at the end. I have weird mental markers for this kind of thing. :P
Shinra comes off as somewhere between 8 and 12. Precocious, but he's not a "teenager" yet. :P
A couple hours, for most journeys - something like Besaid to Zanarkand or some other across-the-map thing would be more like 12 to 14 hours.
Semi-OT - oh god this is more fun than it should be. Meta'ing how Spira would really work is one of my favorite things to do when bored. :P
I kinda feel like it would be more like 4, it's not really that far away. From California to say, New Orleans takes about that long if I remember correctly. To be honest I kinda feel like FFX-2 has a wicked short time line. Just on how the individual characters seem to react. Plus, how long do you think Gippal and Nooj really chilled out in the farplane? o.O
Okay soooo for FFX I would give it roughly 6-8 months, simply because of the fact that there's random stopover times for most places. If we're getting as realistic as possible, for example, I'd say that the stop in Kilika would take at least a week (seeing as they probably wouldn't miraculously have enough coffins stockpiled to accomodate that Sin attack, and they need a summoner for the sending so Yuna can't just take off). Stuff like that. Walking between places would take time too, I'm sure, even if it looks like no time at all in the game. Yuna getting jacked by Seymour... all of that would add up, I'm sure. So yeah, 6-8 months for the short answer

And I was thinking Shinra was 10 or 12 too. :D
Thanks for your advice!

Anyway, so let's suppose an airship going from Djose to Besaid? How many hours do you guys reckon? I was thinking, 6 hours or something?
