4) After playing for a few months now, hearing other players complain about it, experiencing it myself on countless occasions, asking other players on what system they were when it occurred, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, or PC, I can clarify for a %100, that for the %80 of the time that a player plays 'Final Fantasy XIV a Realm Reborn' to this day, does not matter on which system, PS3, PS4, and/or PC, all "Area of Effects" across the entire game, hit players in some cases even well outside the "Area of Effect".

To explain this more clearly: An AoE shows. You run to evade it, your player is clearly out of the AoE. The AoE still shows. Tens of seconds AFTER the player is out of the AoE, the AoE vanishes, the effect shows... ...and the player gets hit.
