It's moving over 1,500 miles further away from the EU, with the network traffic now passing through the US infrastructure (which is garbage compared to the rest of the world, btw). There's going to be a very significant increase in EU player latency, and their gameplay will suffer for it.

As an NA player, I'm actually quite disappointed with how Squeenix is handling this.
