Bad ping/latency/lag problems

[Zenaku]

My wife plays FFXIV too, her computer is right next to me and there's a 3 seconds delay between what my character is doing on my screen and what it is doing on her screen. Strangely it only seems to concern moves, because when I craft there's is no delay.

That going to happen the severs are in Japan even in FFXI i had this issue with me and my gf playing that noting to worry about.

This is FFXI/FFXIV it's not wow or fast step game that you need low ping like wow you need low ping for PVP and such but not really needed for FFXI/FFXIV type battle system.

i still want them to fix the lag issue tho lol

Have you ever tried an Ogre fight as a melee?
Ideally it should be really easy to do, every AoE has a quite long cast time and different casting animations, so you should be able to avoid/stun all of them, but everytime I try to do it I still get hit because of latency, and I react as soon as I see the mob casting on my screan.

They're clearely going for a dynamical type of battle, but at the current state it's already a fail, since you can't react when you see a skill coming, you just have to guess when it's coming and hope you're doing the right thing...

And that's why everybody hates melees right now
