Libra Eorzea App for Windows Phone

[Mushy]

Will Windows Phone users be getting Libra Eorzea? We do not even have the One Time Password App yet!!!! I hope the developers will port it to the Windows Phone since an increasing amount of people are starting to use the platform.

So can developers please port the App to Windows Phone 8(and blackberry for those people) This is an App I have been looking forward to, and I knew iOS, then Android were going to be released, but there has been no word on other smart phones/tablets.

Can the Mods send this up the line? Tons of people want to use the 1 time password app(VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE!) and now Libra which would be so amazing to have in my palms instead of alt-tabbing out of the game for information.

Please support WP8! This not only goes for this team, but I feel that Square Enix should be supporting the platform with more of their mobile games too. So far we have only gotten a port from iOS of Final Fantasy 1. I play the hell out of that game, and paid the premium SE price for. I would gladly do the same with what other Final Fantasies they release for the system, and possibly other types of games they make.

I have used the newest Androids(The best makes) I have used iPhone, and never been a fan. Windows Phone blows those away. It is not a phone you can appreciate by just playing with it.. There is a lot under the hood, the amount of storage for one is 12-16gb or above standard, most also have SD slots. Have you seen the xbox live games? It runs games great graphically, without lag. There is standardization with the platform similar(but less strict) to iOS. It is not the wild west of who knows what people are working with hardware wise that developers have to worry about. It is simply only, are they running Windows Phone 7, or Windows Phone 8?

and like I was saying its simplicity is beautiful, with powerful functionality you do not spot at first glance. You can do anything you can on a top of the line Android phone on WP8 quicker to get things done. It can do it all(EXCEPT RUN THE SE APPS THEY WONT RELEASE!)

Everyone I know who has gone with Windows phone 7/8(which is surprisingly high 10 of my friends have switched, which is more than half of the amount of friends I see IRL) has said it is their favorite smart phone, and when given the chance to upgrade phones they went from 7 to 8 instead of to the newest iphone or android. They have said they want to stay with this system. I feel the exact same way. So please do not diss WP because you have never used it as your phone for a week for it to truly click.

Wow, you sure missed the part where that was a joke...

No, never touched a windows phone personally and as for Xbox, I've never had an interest in the system. Anything good on Xbox is also for either PC or Playstation, so why would i buy another console. Glad you like it though, I know many do. Hope they get Libra Eorzea working on all smart devices, It just comes with time. Apple is the easiest platform to make this on so its either delay its release until everyone uses it or release it for each platform as it comes out. I'd prefer the latter.

EDIT:

Sorry for even saying anything. I have obviously touched a highly sensitive nerve. I deeply apologize if my sense of humor has bothered you.

No it offers xbox(brand) games on the phone, something similar to how the actual consoles marketplace works.(but if you want you can integrate the 3 phone/pc/xbox console)

Also iOS is not the easiest to develop for it is actually the hardest out of iOS, Android, WP. WP is the easiest to program for from my experience with the SDKs, and the fact to program for a iPhone you either need to run a Mac OR use a VM to run the OS. Androids on screen Emulator is total garbage so you do not know how the App is actually performing unless you put it on the phone/tablet itsself to test. Windows phone is the same to program for as PC. Offering Metro themed Apps, or you can use C#/C/C++ for complex apps like games, or just using it because most programmers use C/C++ or C# because it is the industry standard since the early 1970s. Also C# is what Cocoa is based on(only Cocoa doesnt apply the standard.)


They release on iOS/Android first because they control the highest market share which makes perfect sense, but WP is gaining ground rapidly. They need to develop with all 3 in mind from the start.

SE NEEDS(!!!!) to release the one time password app for WP already! It has been out for how long now? We still do not have it.. With something as simple as that I fear WP wont see Libra ever ]=

SE needs to release their games for their system as well, but that is a different matter..

FFXIV:ARR held an event with Microsoft that show cased FFXIV on PCs, yet they don't support their phone/tablets???

I'm sorry it just stinks Windows phone is left out for most things(though the smart companies are already developing for it.) SE just isn't one of them. When you have the best smart phone, but have to miss out on cool apps like Libra, or important apps like the one time password(when every other MMO/Online game company releases the app for it day one) you get a little pissed at SE, and people that say get a better phone. The phone isn't the problem as I wouldn't trade it for any other smart device. You don't need a lot of the apps required by the other phones, since those things can be done with the phone without them, and the game selection is top notch with quality games from xbox market. SE just needs to get their 'stuff' together, and realize WE NEED the one time password app, and would enjoy the Libra app.

Example: WP Camera
-looks at the cover of a book, cd, hardware box, movies, any product in some casing - shows you where to buy(online, or locally and can give directions), price compare, information on it, in the case of a movie you can select to view trailer IMDB info, music will have Zune info so you can play song samples
-^barcode does the same as above
-scan text and highlight it: translate to ANY language, copy it to text so you can take it from printed to text you can edit on the phone or computer since it will be there right away if you have cloud enabled
-select find food/entertainment camera filter(2 clicks to camera and this mode) and do a 360 turn showing you all things related to what you are looking for, select for review/s, set the phone flat for a top down map
-tons of other cool stuff! those are just some cool powerful things you can do by pointing the camera after taking it out of the box
That is just some of the vanilla camera functionality How many apps do you need for that on iPhone/Android? quite a few

To let SE know there is a desire for the apps to come to windows phone is one thing, I'm sure these apps will come eventually. But to berate them and others for not sharing your preference is not necessary. As Alyko said WP has a small share of the market. Admittedly I did not know what I was talking about regarding developing apps, but the smartphone market is dominated by apple and android right now so those will come first.

Again, sorry for my poor taste in humor earlier, in my defense I clearly stated it was a joke. No need for these extensive rants to defend your position. The only comments that oppose your position are either in jest or pointing out good reasons why its not out, yet.

You made the choice to get the WP and it sounds like you have good reasons for it. I have an android, my reasons were for the wide selection of apps. That was my choice. Life is all about choices.

You just made my day. I have a Lumia 928 and never realized I had this functionality. I have literally just scanned everything on my desk, lol. And I support your struggle for the app market. #thestruggleisrealWP8
