Thankfully, it really really shouldn't. This is a problem with the current server system not being tolerant of loss, among other likely problems. I'm sure this is one of the contributing factors to their decision to completely redesign and rebuild the server program. I'm very confident 2.0 will not have this issue.

Possibly related, they are encouraging players to do testing on how traffic is routed to their servers in Japan to see what can be done, as the Ifrit fight is unintuitively hard for many players due to network lag.
