Square Enix has servers in California (they did for back up for XI) they should implement some of their servers in California to fix this lag problem for the U.S., and if Euros have one too use Square Enix Europe in France.
That is a nice idea, but you know how hell-bent they are on allowing people from different regions the ability to play together. To put in different servers regionally would be to force people to either connect to the closest server or put up with the distance lag if they wanted to play with people from different regions. I suppose cloning is an option, but they would need some massive bandwidth to have regional clones that constantly sync up with the home servers. Since I am involved in a linkshell with both NA and EU players, that would put all of us in a tough spot.
