Please No More Try FINAL FANTASY XIV For Free

I have a decent internet connection and according the Window`s resource monitor i play with 180-220 ms of ping which is completely playable, except when you have to dodge stuff, like on titan extreme where you need the reflexes of a shaolin monk...

I'm in Australia and I connect to the Tonberry server located in Japan. I am probably as far away as Chile is from the NA datacentre and I can dodge Titans' AOE although I get hit sometimes. I notice JP players get hit sometimes as well, so I don't think this is primarily a fault of the long distance. I might just have a better route to the servers from Australia then the route from Chile to Canada.

this is extremely likely, given how convoluted the connection can get from one end to the other of the U.S....

Woa you guys from Chile can play with less than 200ms Ping and he already complain for lag?Now double that ping and you will have the ping we,Australian, have to play with on daily basic. With the help of tunnel service even, the ping is still around 300ms. Think lags get better of you???We got it worse.

I disagree with the OP. I was on the fence, and i Probably wouldn't have even tried this game if it didn't have a free trial. As it is, i cancelled one of my other gaming accounts with a different Game (I have a gaming allowance i allow myself), and am now subbed to FFXIV. the trial is what got me here, i can't see it as a bad thing.

That sounds more like the ping you get if you are on NA servers, why don't you play on JP servers?

Yeah I started on Behemoth 1 year ago, and I have made so many friends and bro in this server. So to me, I have cleared all contents but T13 with that much pings, to have a lower ping with the same contents sure does make life easier but the trade off or forsaking all connection is just not worth the price

Simple solution to the OP's problem, Buy a PS4...sure they are expensive but the Ps3 is getting outdated and that would be half your problem. New players help keep the game alive

I think mi biggest complain is when i got hit by the landslide even if i`m out of the animation. And Chile is a pretty long country so the distance can vary some thousands of kilometers.

So much /facepalm.

OP: are you using the PS3 WIFI? If answer is yes, then there is your problem right there. Plug in a CAT5, or better CAT6.
Which PS3 version do you have? There's a big difference in the harddrives. Replace the HDD and get an SSD, it'll improve your performance a little bit.

Better yet, get an up to date system to play FF.
