    Okay, based on what has been said so far, to collect this all up:

    With the exception of a possible token based application (difficult to do outside of a whitelisted phone ID without defeating the purpose), everything would be one application, which does all of the suggestions below. This application will also be available in browser form, with some minor modifications. All actions will require the player to be logged out, in their mog house. The city you are in will affect some functionality.
    • Fishing
      Based on which city you are in, you will get different fish. Fishing will assume you are over level 20, and be subject to fishing fatigue.
    • Inventory
      You will only be able to access Locker/Storage options if you are in the correct city or have performed the correct quests and payed for the correct access.
      You can also change gear.
    • Auction House
      Expect the same delays between transactions. Fees will be based on the city you are in. You can only auction items directly in your inventory, and only buy if your inventory is not full.
    • Delivery Box
      Able to check and pick up items from the Delivery Box.
    • Storage Slips
      Check the contents of your storage slips. You will not be able to retrieve items however.
    • Crafting
      Only items in your inventory are craftable. You will not be able to do Synergy however. There is a delay between crafts. You can pay for Advanced Synth support, which will wear off when you log in, or when you have performed a number of synths.
    • Chocobo Raising
      Raise your chocobo. Only items from inventory are available. You can also buy and sell items certain from the NPC in the chocobo stables. Prices are subject to the fame you have in the city you are in.
    • Chocobetting
      Bet on Chocobo Races and listen to the results from the Official Chocobo Circuit Linkshell!
    • Chat
      Speak in Linkshell chat, or in tells. Can also listen (but not participate) to Yell messages from Jeuno. Can also send and check messages from friends list. You can switch to any linkshell in your inventory as well.

    On the browser, Fishing, Crafting, Chocobetting, picking up items from the Delivery Box, and selling/buying items on the Auction House will be subject to CAPTCHAs to prevent abuse. This will be per transaction.

    If balance is really an issue, the browser version clears it all up for those without smartphones. If this is still an issue, I'm sure we could have a version of this for download on Xbox Live Arcade and the PSN.

    Fishing App, Crafting APP, Auction House App's are some really good idea. World of warcraft is doing this you would think FFXI would to.

    World of warcraft has armory and auction house. People might have gotten confused thinking they have Fishing and Crafting

    A42: We are currently developing software that can also be used for FFXI and Dragon Quest 10, and we plan on making it possible to use this. In addition to this we are also planning to have features where you can browse your personal character data, as well as a large official database that you can use to check various information such as items, quests, NPC locations, and which NPCs offer quests.

    I'm glad that you posted that, but it would have been a lot better if it had been originally posted in the FFXI FORUMS, instead of the FFXIV forums (directed at SE reps). Why would you post information about FFXI in the FFXIV forums? That's just stupid, beyond stupid actually. Unless it was copy/pasted to both, in which case that's understandable. But, it doesn't look like it was.

    Why would an English-speaking rep mention Dragon Quest X, let alone in a Final Fantasy forum?

    Because it was taken out of a Live Letter Yoshi P. does periodically to keep us updated on the status of A Realm Reborn. Its technology they are creating with ffxiv in mind that can be applied to ffxi and dqx. The reps for ffxi just havent reported on it yet, most likely due to the fact that its still under developement for ffxiv and its not until after its done that it will be reapplied to ffxi. Until then we are just stuck with VanaMini which is fan-made and SEVERLY out of date but still a fantastic app for ffxi

    I find it incredibly sad that the fans are coming out with stuff for the game that is remarkable and it takes years before SE ever decides to listen to the fans and even take it into consideration, let alone incorporate it to the game. It took how long before they finally decided to have OFFICIAL forums? Fans are coming out with great additions to the game but SE doesn't want people to have an "unfair" advantage over other players. So they release exclusive items to the JP players that attended a convention in Japan, or bought their jewelry, or soundtrack, etc. I still consider that an unfair advantage. Anything that can be given out to some players and not all is unfair, and if it grants you ANYTHING (other than a costume or fireworks), it's an advantage.
