How latency-friendly is FF14?

I feel so bad for you, ugh.

Seriously Japanese devs need to get their heads out of their asses when it comes to netcode, they're extremely far behind. Anyone who is even a tiny bit a fighting game enthusiast will tell you how awful their netcode is.

While Japanese devs do often have issues with netcode (Not exactly surprising: Japan itself if small enough to allow them to simply not care about that most of the time. What for if players in within the country will have 5-10ms latency anyway?), I don't know a single online game, be it western or asian, that is okay with 1000ms ping. If anything, FF14 is among the frendliest ones because even with ping close to 300ms you're still able to perform adequately in high end content with the condition of being attentive and careful, and 300ms is in no way a good latency.
