Why the netcode issue exists, and why it cannot be fixed.

Thanks for the explanation. I think this is not a priority unless people play PvP or chocobo racing maybe? Game have many other more important problems than this one.

... You replied to a 10 year old post, and that post didn't even know what they were talking about. lol

Most online games are Server Authoritative and run a simulated version of the game. Even 10 years ago we didn't have many pure Peer to Peer games, and they sure as hell were never MMO. MMO 'live state' is not rare. It's never been rare. It's the only way to have an MMO.

Also, he's wrong about what a live state is anyway - It's not 100% server authoritative. There's a mix of who's authority at any given time, and for what action. It's not so cut and dry. You can jump and run, and visually it's still snappy. But server is authority over what happens to you at that position in certain conditions. Like a Damage AoE.
