Servers for each Region

[Zumi]

If FFXIV is going to have WoW like mechanics like move out of the fiery circles or you die type of deal then they should have regional servers. The latency is so bad on fights like Ifrit that people actually have to resort to counting his swings to see when hes going to use a special move in order to be able to avoid it. When BG interviewed Yoshi he told them that he wanted the speed of the game to be similar to like WoW, much faster then FFXI.

What they need is actual servers in each region they are, like they could set them up in their US and EU offices as well to offer players servers without the high latency. I know SE probably won't want to spend the kind of money setting up regional servers but they could go the extra mile and actually do it.

It just doesn't work if have fast paced mechanics that need to be avoided but you see your self die because even though on your screen your out of it but not on the servers.
