Sorry if this is the wrong section,but I just managed to start playing with my girlfriend after server transferring,but I notice something very strange about her character. It moves really slowly. If I had to guess, take the normal Lalafell running speed and cut that in about half. Anyone got any idea as to what the issue is? Again, sorry if this is the wrong area, and feel free to have a mod or whomever move it to where it needs to be.

are you sure you are running and not walking?

Maybe it was just a matter of perspective. I know if you zoom the camera all the way out you look like you're moving slower than normal. Or maybe she had her camera at 'taru-default' and the world just seemed to move around her at a different rate. Or she was on a chocobo and got hit with that stupid slow effect after weathering a hit. Don't know, just seems odd given no race in either of the FF MMOs has a pace faster than another.

10-17-2013, 03:16 AMBlazeChronicI agree. it's all a matter of perception. In fact, it looks to me like lala's run much faster than a Roe, given the lala is smaller and needs to traverse more terrain with each stride in order to keep up with the Roe's gait.Quote:

Its latency. When people are lagging pretty bad they move very slowly to others.

Check your Graphics Settings. The top listing is for your type of computer. If for whatever reason, it is *different* from what your computer is, it will have a negative effect on your performance.
In my case, I had been living with being a slow Lalafell. After trying many things, we noticed that the setting for my game was Standard (Laptop).
Which was odd. Because my machine is a desktop.
When we changed it to Standard (Desktop) the problem went away and I now move as fast as everyone else.
I don't know how that got defaulted to Laptop and I don't remember anything when loading up the game that said "check your graphics settings" before moving on.
So if you are moving slow - check that setting because that might be the problem. -

The visual illusion where characters of different sizes appear to be moving faster or slower is called parallax. Although, this illusion actually goes in the opposite direction than the OP's experience (a Lalafell should appear to be faster, not slower) so I suspect that their issue is not due to this phenomenon.
Smaller characters appear to move faster than larger ones in a game environment where everyone is the same speed. This is because humans (and many other animals) use the size and speed of an object relative to its surroundings as a way to judge distance and our brain automatically adjusts the perception of speed of larger objects to be slower. Imagine a bike on the trail in front of you and a ship in the distance both passing you in the same direction. The bike is travelling way slower than the ship by an order of magnitude, but the ship is the one that appears to move far, far slower. In this case the environment is remaining stationary and the objects are moving through it, but the reverse of that where the object is stationary (the player) and the environment (the game's landscape) is moved relative to that frame of reference produces the same effect.
A great way to easily test this for yourself is to choose a really small mount and a really large one (I suggest the Yo-kai ghost mount and the Behemoth mount as extremes) and then compare your apparent riding speed with both. The small one appears to move faster than the large one.
