Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

The overall server lag that occurs on certain times is a different issue than the lag people talk about. I had times where I can see Demon Wall finish casting Repel, and didn't get pushed back until 5 seconds later. That's the server being overloaded and every game has that problem when traffic is way too high. The lag people tag about is persistent. Do the running Esuna or mount chocobo test (autorun on, just keep casting the said spell) at any time you want. You'll notice the spell always casts at least 50% no matter when you tried this, so it takes about 0.5s before your client realizes you can't cast a spell while running even though the action is actually impossible. That's the part that is unique to this game.

Atleast 50%? Man I get consistently to around 0.30-0.10 seconds left of full 1 second cast before it interrupts. In fact yesterday was abnormally laggy and I managed to actually run and mount without interrupt. Every now and then the run and mount caused a 90k.

I was doing that test while queueing up a level 45 dungeon as a DPS so I had a lot of time to test, and one time the spell actually interrupted at around 0.5s hence I said at least 50%. 0.3 to 0.1s left is the common case yes, and yeah I was able to finish casting the spell quite a few times too but nothing actually happened (which makes sense, since you shouldn't be able to do this at all).

Back to the front page. SE can only ignore this issue for so long.

Here is a thread that talks about the same issue.

Bumped, over 600 people dont want this reaching the graveyard.

For now I'm on the fence about turning on auto-renew.

I want this to be my game of choice but there are so many flaws in the net code and end game.

The story ends (badly) and there doesn't seem to be the kind of repeatable content (endless AK/WP runs...ewww) I can enjoy.

They really need to work on this already. There is clearly a difference of when monsters actions show up on a PS3 vs a PC. I shouldn't have to memorize every monsters skill rotation and predict future events in my mind for a whole dungeon run just to have a chance of avoiding monster actions because of bad game design.

If 100% of the time as a monsters action shows and said person can never move out of the way fast enough for the attack not to register on them. Then obviously the game needs to be reworked. I had less latency on my PS2 playing ffxi than PS3 and FF14 that should say enough.

I am right there with you. My sub just ended again and this time I can't auto-renew. Why? I don't want to play a game hardcore that has no content. It might come.... and then I will renew. I don't like feeling pressured into giving up my life for a game that has obvious endgame problems. Neither am I going to speedrun dungeons all day. Waste of life if you ask me.

Tempting to renew for one month but then I am left doing hm bosses and wp/ak or whatever until my eyes bleed. Killzone and PS4 are coming along soon and my PC has a backlog the size of Texas. 12.99 on this is suddenly a weird proposition.

Here's something that really peeves me personally when healing.


HP bars in 1.0 updated in smooth rolling numbers and rolled faster or slower depending on how much damage or HP recovery, the more damage and healing the faster they rolled and viceversa.


HP bars in ARR update in chunks without any way of predicting where they'll end up, other than knowing how much the attack is going to hit for or how much you're going to cure for beforehand from previous experience or just winging it.

Sure you can get around it and please tell me how much adapting to it is skillful and you don't want everything handled to you and feel free to throw in a jab at me dying in one of the gifs, because I'll end up agreeing with you in the end, but it's still annoying and the point is it's part of the game's latency issues.

I still fail to understand how a game that was lambasted for having terrible UI lag had better and more smoothly updating HP bars than a game which its engine was entirely remade due to these UI lag issues in the first place, even worse because these UI delays seem to be implemented by design this time
