its square Enix servers gone crap...
its SE s fault magicaly non other of my tons of mmos ever have these issues....
wonder why...
this is going on since the release of the game...
Or it's your ISP. It has nothing to do with SE and their equipment.
then why every single other mmos work and only having this issues with this game MANY times......
yeah totaly my isp right ?
Your Computer ----> ISP ---> Backbone Internet Servers ---> Game Servers
You're looking at three points of failure between you and the game before it could possibly be the game. To assume it's the last is just plain foolish.
Zord, I'm sorry you're having trouble figuring our VPNs, but they are the solution, and from the frequency they help people here, pretty much the only solution. The error code quoted in the OP translates to: "Server could not communicate with Machine", "Cannot Patch Client", "Route to Host Blocked". It's not that the computer can't talk to the server, but the server is literally being blocked from speaking to your computer.
There are three things that can do this:
1. A personal firewall / OS firewall.
2. A router block / firewall.
3. Your ISP is blocking the ports needed for the patcher to work.
Many of the MMOs you're claiming work while this doesn't work because the ports that they are handshaking with your router happen to be open. Now, cheaper MMOs tend to use port 80 (the same port as your browser) for all communication because no ISP in their right mind would ever block that one. However, it comes with amazing amounts of risk, because a torrent download via port 80 can not only disrupt your browsing traffic over your network, but it can also leave you super open to viruses, as most antiviruses that detect those tend to only monitor port 80 for browsers, not private clients.
FFXIV uses some very, very large ports: 54992 - 54994, 55006 - 55007, 55021 - 55040
Now a lot of ISPs have these ports blocked simply because the only purpose they've ever been put to till FFXIV was torrenting pirated media. For them it's an easy switch to just keep it off until someone complains. So a lot of ISPs, by default, are blocking your patcher.
SE can do absolutely nothing about your ISP's choice to block ports, you have to talk to them. You can however, use a VPN which typically does the download and then stream it to you via a different port. Which is why they help with the download.
Now, you can continue to troll the thread by demanding SE basically perform magic or massive mind control over people they don't have power over, because those are the only ways anything they do is going to change how your ISP works, or you could seriously give a VPN a try.

Ports you need are:
UDP
55296-55551
TCP
80, 8080, 443, 55296-55551

If fixing your ports doesn't work, try disabling your firewall / antivirus to determine if that's the cause. If not, then get a VPN.
