SE's promise at least, Yoshi's promise was to make this a FF game, still waiting for that :\
They promised to reduce the lag as well, as it was just as much of a problem in 1.0 (namely Ifrit's eruptions) - that's what the whole regional server talk was about. And hey, some people did get a lag reduction - people geographically close to Canada, that is. And EU players go a slap to the face. Last time I checked, Canada was not part of the EU, neither politically nor geographically.

The hilarious part is, I am actually sometimes getting a smoother experience playing on the JAPANESE servers, depending on the day and the route. So all the regional servers brought me so far is a community split (as I thought it would, but that's getting wayyy off topic)
