How latency-friendly is FF14?

[Rae88]

I've been trying FF14 on and off for a bit.


I live out in a very rural area, so satellite is my only option.


How latancy-friendly is FF14? We're talking 1000ms latency.


Comparison: World of Warcraft is pretty friendly. I don't do Mythic+ or normal raiding. (Just LFR) But I DPS, heal, and tank without much problem. (Healing is the hardest.)


What I am finding in FF14 is a lot of telegraphed attacks I can't get out of in time. And even if I do, it still registers a hit. (The server and I are seeing different things.)


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.


Are there upcoming mechanics that are one-shot? Impossible for me to move out of and killable?


I don't play to do anything beyond dungeons and world PvE. (And large group activities)


Should I give up now? Or can FF14 work with my handicap?

While FFXIV is more ping friendly than games like BDO or New World, 1000ms is probably way too much. Because as you progress through the game the fights become more like a dance requiring you to learn like ... choreographed danced moves. And if you can't move the way you need to then it will be very hard for you to progress. Anything under 300ms is okay but at 1000 it will be very hard for you unfortunately
