Ok.
Please read what was said. what Jynxii is saying is that some Australian ISP's get worse latency on JP servers the reason for this is where the ISP will route to first (Some go to NA first). That being said I believe this game is very punishing to higher latency players. Most MMO's I've played I have never had many issues avoiding Generic Ground Based Attack A yet this game seems to be a bit different. I can't tell if the other games cater for the latency with longer cast times and FFXIV ARR does not or if their is something in the design of the content. This may be better answer by someone who is used to playing on a low MS ping time.
