Ifrit Extreme....What's Different?

The most persistent myth of all is that somehow the JP players have no latency.

Sorry, but you are mentally ignoring facts.
Its pure physics that you HAVE TO wait for answer of the servers and the game design supports server side calculations which result in double delay until you get confirmation. The Problem is not only reaction with pressing keys (macro using helps to trick the server) but also positions and damage calculation!

Latency is a problem and saying otherwise is just a lie. Even SE confirmed this fact and they promised with 2.0 a more client based system which reduces latency because less server questions and synchronisation needed.

Have you ever tried loading big files once over LAN, WAN, Countries, worldwide... Selfexplained, you have to wait longer!

In Summary:
JP have ~ 10-30ms
US have ~ 200-250ms
EU have ~ 250-300ms

yeah, gona have a hard time convinceing the elitiest in this game that belive otherwise. But I guess if you think your shit smells like roses you wouldnt be inclined to admit to anything other then, you rule and the rest of the world are noobs blaming some reasonable difficulties on resonable causes and not owning up to the fact that they are not as awsome as you lol. and when I say "you" I am referring to the elitiest. Just to clear things up. Latiency is one of those outrageously obvoius issues its kinda impossable to claim it dosent exist. Personally I am wowed by the fact that people actually think it dose not exist... /sigh
