18 hours is a lot, but I've seen more encounters which took a while to master, be it spread over 3-4 hour nights. Not sure how these go in FFXI, but it's possible for guilds in other games to take this long on certain bosses I guess. I'm more amazed about them lasting 18 hours on their first attempt.
An 18 hour boss fight (1 fight) though.. now that I'd like to see. From a distance. With breaks in between. And possibly a fast forward button.

Sure, AV attempts have lasted days, but that was because of the constant wiping. The fight itself isn't terribly long - he doesn't have a ton of HP.
This fight takes 18+ without wiping being an issue. Big difference.

I guess it helps give a boss an epic feel though, bet poor Illidan feels neglected now.
