The lag in the US videos can't possibly be for the same reason?? OR maybe..here's a clue..perhaps everyone has latency because the server is junk and the game is so poorly optimized. Every. Single. Player. Has. Latency. Hilarious you bother to deny that. Just look at the video. They are running out from behind the rocks well before the skill visibly goes off. Are you watching the DRG? He/She is activating a skill from the front and running back behind the mob before the skill even goes off. How would that be possible without that "latency" we always blame. It wouldn't be.

My point is there is net latency, or lag. Our lag is worse obviously because we live farther away. But then there's the delay with skills, or with abilities (like Garuda's AoE) that are due to the game's shoddy hardware/poor optimization. That is universal. Everyone deals with it, and everyone learns how to play around it. JP has it. US has it. EU has it. That has nothing to do with ping, because I can do the same thing on my game as that jp player can on his/her game. I bet you can do the same thing as well, despite having superior hardware/inferior hardware. Saying JP players have no latency is just false. Some is caused by net connections, some is caused by hardware. We ALL deal with the latency caused by hardware, if that's the word for it, which has more to do with SE's hardware than ours honestly. The latency caused by net connections will vary by region.

Your tirade was silly, really. It's like you didn't even bother to think about what I said before you spit it out. Heck go to the JP forums and come back to me saying "JP has not latency". Bet they've raged about it the same as we have. Cmon man, seriously.
Sorry to inform you but it is a fact that, altho JP players do have server latiency, it is in fact not the same. I agree that server stability is jsut as bad for everyone but because the physical distance between the server and the ISP is lesser for JP players then anyone else, they will have a faster reaction between their PC and the Servers. Not sure how this is even up for debate, its like saying gravity dosent pull down. Laws of physics would determain that a greater distance travled at the same pace would require more time. Explain to me how, your therory proves laws of physics wrong again? Nevermind the fact that the developers admited to latiency issues for NA and EU players, but explain to me how my Internets speed surpases that of JP internet speed to the point where it can cover over 10x the distance in the same amount of time, especially considering JP internet infostructure is much stronger then NA. And for your info, I have no issues fighting ifrit, but I do not disclaim lag issues soo to make lesser players feel even worse simply to make my self feel better >.> I think the game has enough elitiest , you can park your high hourse outside in the designated "d-bag" section.
