How latency-friendly is FF14?

The game can be played well with latency, since a lot of stuff is charge up attacks. My friend plays on his cell phone connection, and he's able to do really well despite it, enough to where him and his raid group are currently on The Epic of Alexander.

This isn't comparable. Cellular networks can be very, very low latency. Before the servers moved out of Canada, sometimes I got better latency through my tethering my phone than I did through my cable internet.

Where cell networks don't shine is bulk data throughput. ie downloading large patches. But when it comes to response time they can be very good for gaming (probably less so in high population/signal saturated areas, though)
