This is more of a bump reply as I'm not at home and cant post the server I connect to but I'm also in Japan connecting to an NA server and up until about 48 hours ago I had no lag issues at all then out of no where they hit. it sucks that this is happening but its nice to know I'm not the only one like I thought I was for a while. I hope this gets fixed soon because I love this game and want to be able to play. =(

would be nice to know that SE is at least aware of this issue but no responses from them.
