I am new to this game, but am enjoying it very much, especially crafting and gold saucer. Something I've noticed though is that this game has a very slow, laggy, or unresponsive combat system, even with ~50 ping. The primary cause of this is poor lag compensation. For many years, shooters have effectively implemented lag compensation to make games feel very responsive, and there are even some MMO's that have some very good lag compensation. If there is one issue I have with FF14, it is the pervasive lack of lag compensation and resulting poor game responsiveness. It is my opinion that by implementing lag compensation or at least work around poor game responsiveness, the enjoyability of the game can be greatly improved.

The following are a few examples of this kind of issue and suggestions on how they can be fixed.
