    Since you can play on servers on the other side of the world, there will always be this slight delay. Since not everyone plays on a PC, and the networks we connect through vary in quality, there will always be this slight delay. It's built into the very nature of the Internet.

    You don't notice this as much on other games because you're almost never playing on servers outside your local country, where the latency is more consistent between players.
    No, this isn't a slight delay.
    A slight delay is what you see in other mmos and this is the standard that I'd like ffxiv to reach. I'm not asking for FPS tick rates. I'm asking for the minimum that other mmos have.
    Also, I think you may have misunderstood. I'm not complaining about the GCD in any way. What I was referring to with "the GCD delay thing" is the lag that western players have that Yoshida wasn't even aware of.
