Why no regional servers?

Two tenths of a second can be a lot when you are constantly uploading and downloading data, just saying. I always had latency issues in FFXI and FFXIV when in area with 20 or more people. It is definitely playable and it doesn't bother me all that bad but it would be nice to be able to do away with some of that if it was ever an option.

That's not latency... that's the limits of your internet connection. Latency is just the delay it takes to communicate the distance between your computer and a server (literally the time it takes for the electrons to travel that distance). The problem you were having there is that your internet connection wasn't good enough to handle the large stream of info coming (trying to shove too many electrons down the pipe at once). Nothing to do with latency.

Not again this shit of regional servers.
We all know FF is for international servers, for both jap and west people. They'll not come. dot.
And foremost, i love play with people of all world. JP onry people is just lazy

By the way, to those that say that there are "two seconds" of lag between input and skill execution, try checking your stamina. If you can't administer your stamina, it's not the server's fault

Because JP are in japan and have no latency. We do.

They had a selfish reason for demanding servers, we have a legitimate one.

Anyway, I don't see why regional and international servers can't coexist. Why can't we have both.

That would make all twenty ffxiv players so happy.

In FFXI we hadn't any so huge lag to break the game. Nor here, even if server-related issues are still present.
So, this is selfish like asking for japanese servers

Maybe if the server did not have to agree on everything we do on the game we wont have such problem with lag. I have no lag when it come to menu anymore just a few here and there.

I would not mind JP,EU,ENG servers or everyone together there both fine by me but SE would stay with everyone together and i agree that is the best idea.

UI is still laggier than other games even though there is a marked improvement since release, and combat is still unresponsive. If it's not due to regional servers then SE needs to show that they can improve it without regional servers.

Just because they have regional servers doesn't mean they have to be region-locked.

This is true, however there's still the issue of segregation for me. I can understand some people are just fine with it, but FF was always a place where you could actually meet the entire community from everywhere. IF they could make a giant single server that would be best. But that's my own preference and I prefer if SE does not do region based servers EVEN if with the option of being able to play on a EU or Asian server if I wish it. Because then people stop trying to be careful how they speak to one another and just assume you speak their language and will ask the hell you are not on your own server and so forth. It's been done before and I prefer the way it is now.
