Test FINAL FANTASY XIV Online game latency.

Measured from your browser to our probes. Use the result to compare regional directions, then confirm the final choice in your game client. How we testWe time small datagrams echoed by each PartyPing probe over WebTransport. WebTransport carries them over QUIC/UDP, which is closer to real-time game traffic than an ordinary page request, but it is not the same protocol or route as the game itself.Each region gets dozens of packets, not one or two. That makes the test take a little longer, but one unlucky spike or dropped packet can no longer skew the result.Probes sit in the same regions as the game servers, not on the same machines, and every game decides for itself what it folds into the number it prints — so the two land close rather than identical. Which region comes out ahead here is the part that carries over.

About FINAL FANTASY XIV Online
What ping is good for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online?
For FINAL FANTASY XIV Online we treat anything under 55 ms as great and under 95 ms as playable. Past 145 ms, the delay is likely to be noticeable during real-time play.
| Verdict | Median latency | How it plays |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive | < 30 ms | GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics respond almost immediately; latency stays out of the decision. |
| Great | 30 – 55 ms | GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics stay smooth, with little need to anticipate the connection. |
| Playable | 55 – 95 ms | GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics remain workable, but tight timing starts to need more anticipation. |
| Laggy | 95 – 145 ms | The delay is clear during GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics, and chained inputs can fall behind. |
| Unplayable | ≥ 145 ms | GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics respond too late for a reliable session; choose a nearer route if available. |
Packet loss and jitter can only pull a verdict down, never push it up. A line that is fast but drops packets will not be shown as competitive, because in game that reads as a rubber-band or a swallowed input.
These thresholds are PartyPing's own engineering standard for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, not an official rating from the publisher.
Which regional directions can PartyPing compare for FINAL FANTASY XIV Online?
North America · Europe · Japan · Oceania
The list above shows the PartyPing probe directions measured on this page. Compare their latency, variation, and packet loss to decide which region is worth checking first in FINAL FANTASY XIV Online; the game's match server, data center, custom server, or player host may use a different route.
How are the good and bad thresholds defined?
The FINAL FANTASY XIV Online verdict uses your median latency. Its boundaries are selected for this game's timing demands and any usable published guidance, rather than copied from one universal scale.
For FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, these thresholds reflect how latency affects GCD and oGCD weaving, AoE dodges, and raid mechanics. They describe this game's real timing demands rather than applying a shooter-only rule to every genre.
What is a good ping for FINAL FANTASY XIV?
Square Enix does not publish ping grades. PartyPing uses MMO engineering bands: under 30ms is S, 30–54ms A, 55–94ms B, 95–144ms C, and 145ms or more D; variation and missing replies may lower the overall grade.
Are Aether, Chaos, Mana, and Materia separate physical locations?
They are logical data centers, not four independent global locations. Official FFXIV status lists four physical regions for the global service: North America, Europe, Japan, and Oceania. Check your character's physical region first.
Why is PartyPing different from my in-game experience?
PartyPing measures browser-to-probe WebTransport RTT, not Square Enix servers. The game client uses another route and protocol, and server load and measurement time differ. Treat the result as a regional comparison only.
