Anyone from Australia playing on Japan DC use a lag reduction program with success?

It varies from game to game whether ping is important or not. FF14 is not very ping dependent because it has a long global cooldown. But it will be always noticable when the ping is too high. And if you want do some hard content then it could be a game breaker. Because you can not use weaving in a predictable way. I have an alt on a NA server and i notice the difference. EU servers are way smoother for me. Not only during a fight but also when i click on a NPC and the dialogs need a little bit longer to open etc.

I don't know how sensible you are to lag. But if you very sensible then you should consider to transfer to an OZ server when they open in four days. You could also make an alt on an OZ server and play a little bit with it. If you do not want to transfer immedialely. You will still get an impression whether the lag is better or not.
