Does playing this game on PS4 behave the same as using battleping or any other vpn?

FFXIV does not go;

You > Sony > SE Canada* > Sony > You.

It just goes;

You > SE Canada* > You.


As for re-routing your connection on your PS4, it's entirely possible albeit rather complex to set up a VPN connection for FFXIV on your PS4 through your PC's internet connection.

I recommend avoiding this unless you're aware of what you're doing as it's extremely fiddly, if you're 100% sure you're suffering consistent connection issues and not just prim-time lag (6PM - 12AM) then you should consider contacting your ISP and providing them with the IP address for FFXIV which is;
