Day/Night Cycles In Games

Does anybody have a daytime version of this picture?

I always liked Final Fantasy Online's night and day system and look. I like how it affects the gameplay as in types of creatures that only come out during certain periods of time, etc.

Dragon Warrior IV on NES had a pretty cool day/night system. In towns, it affected the NPCs and stores available. Certain important clues or events were only available in one or the other. Outside, you tended to fight tougher monsters at night.

That's all pretty standard stuff for a game with day/night cycles, but DW4 was one of the earlier games to do it.
