So I try to learn a fight and figure out when it is going to throw down something that I need to start moving out of. It's hard, but I am trying.
This is what I would suggest if someone was like, in the 300 ping range. Boss moves happen on a predictable timeline, so to some extent you can compensate for high-ish ping by knowing the fights very well.

But 1k+ is another ball game. I've noticed when FF14 lags a lot, it also has problems just getting skills to fire. But if you play a DPS role, you could at least just get carried through harder main story stuff that has oneshot (or near enough) mechanics, and play the game socially outside of that.

So, honestly, I don't think it looks like a very good prospect. Maybe with some luck, Starlink will become a thing sooner than later (and hopefully won't be too expensive compared to existing satellite internet service?)
