How latency-friendly is FF14?

Do any online games play well with 1 second latency?

Good netcode doesn't have latency as you know it. It predicts a frame ahead of time what you are going to do since you were pressing a button before it even registered anyway.

While Japanese devs do often have issues with netcode (Not exactly surprising: Japan itself if small enough to allow them to simply not care about that most of the time. What for if players in within the country will have 5-10ms latency anyway?), I don't know a single online game, be it western or asian, that is okay with 1000ms ping. If anything, FF14 is among the frendliest ones because even with ping close to 300ms you're still able to perform adequately in high end content with the condition of being attentive and careful, and 300ms is in no way a good latency.

Good netcode will still alleviate a lot of the latency issues, since it's against a system(a heavily scripted one a that) and not a user it's even easier. But other users might see them jump around a bit since it has to keep recorrecting.
