I'm playing from Norway, and whenever i hang out with my US friends, there is a delay of 1 second. Lets say i run in front of the group and we do a chocoborace. On my screen i'm the first in front of the pack when in fact they tell me i'm 3rd, 4th or even 5th. When i fought Ifrit yesterday I died 4 times in a single fight as a MRD because of this delay problem. I were miles away from the eruption and lava, but i still got killed. Ifrit's animation had the same delay, so i pretty much have to predict what he does well over a second before something happens. Luckily we made it since i was the only one from a far away country, my other friends from US saved the day. It seems the sync of servers are way off.. i sense it everywhere and not just in the big fights. As someone said earlier, it is more noticeable when fighting Ifrit Ogre or Moogle since the actions you do pays more consequence. This is exactly the same problem i had when i played XI and it needs to get adressed ASAP. It could very well be a reason for alot of people leaving the game, and that makes me sad. I love the game SE made, iv'e been here since the very start of alpha and i still want to stay. But please adress this issue SE as "Very important".
