So I've been hearing that Japanese Midnight effects a good handful of things in this game. Um......is this true and if so what does it effect and how?

It effects when you can pick-up your puppets from the puppet maker for sure. and certain quests you have to wait til at least JST midnight to either continue or to try again.

Also, fishing fatigue resets at JST midnight. And I believe that crafting guild point items switch over at JST midnight too.

Anything in this game that's supposed to happen "once per real life day" is triggered by a new date on the servers themselves. The servers are in Tokyo, meaning that a "new day" to them is when the clocks hit midnight Japan time.

There are many quests, events, and other things in the game that are supposed to take one real life day to do. Except for some of the more recent "24 hour timer" events like Assault or ENM, this usually means they reset at JP midnight.

"Once per earth day" things triggered at JST-midnight:
* guild point item list
* fishing fatigue
* pickup of a new "Imperial order"-type bcnm trigger
* pickup of a new salvage trigger (... or at least I think it was in this category)
* pickup of a new trigger for the ashu talif quest series (e.g. "targeting the captain")
* re-offers for many quests (e.g. avatar prime battles - this was a measure added so that rmt gilfarmers couldn't keep doing the quests like monkeys)
* a few ToAU missions (3, 6, 8, 18, 25, 33, and 38 iirc)
* conquest/campaign tallies, pickup of reworked artifacts/relics, and re-offers for once-a-week quests (escort for hire/eco-warrior/spice gals/secrets of ovens lost/uninvited guests/requiem of sin/etc... and the lost chocobo delivery race) are reset on JST Sunday midnight (=Sunday morning in the US).

"Once per earth day" things that are user-triggered:
* Assault tickets are issued 24h from pickup of first ticket, reset each time the maximum number of stored tickets is reached.
* Campaign ops tickets are issued each 24h from pickup of your very first ticket, but seemingly is not reset even if the maximum number of tickets are stored.

The oddballs:
* Dynamis/Einherjar entry is 72h from last entry, though triggers (hourglasses/lamps) may be purchased at any time.
* new Limbus trigger (cosmic cleaner) purchase is 72h from last entry.
* new ENM trigger pickup is 120h from last entry.
