Its been over a month now and still FFXIV's terrible server latency/performance isn't even on par with a generic f2p MMO, much less a AAA title. For those who don't know, or perhaps have never played an MMO with decent servers to compare this to, here's some early reddit discussion on the topic: http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...esponsiveness/

I don't know if this is the entire issue but every player, no matter what PC/system you are on, what settings, what ISP, *every single player* is experiencing high latency/lack of sync with FFXIV's servers. This causes all sorts of problems and an overall extremely unresponsive gameplay feel compared to other MMO's. Here's another thread discussing it:
