Cell Phone APP

[Vangoh]

I don't think anyone ever posted something like this, I did on killing ifrit but only got on reply.

So was wondering maybe SE should make a cellphone app to link to friend lists, linkshells and what not. One thing I love playing FFXI is because of my friends, if it wasn't for them the game wouldn't be the same and wouldn't be as fun. Too complicated? Maybe but totally worth it. What you think? Is it too much to ask?

Does this site work on phones?

Friend List Plus

[Vangoh]

Yes it works on phones but that's not what I meant, it is nice to carry a friend list but that's just a web site I meant an actual app and preferably one where you can communicate with linkshell members, like a portable linkshell messenger kind of thing.

Oh and yes I do agree with that authenticator idea as well, for android too lol

I'll post in here as opposed to a new thread. I would like to see either an app like this or the Twitter account used to announce when the servers come back up. Now that I'm not in an HNM it would be preferable to sitting there and spamming the log-in screen.

I'd also like to see a mobile authenticator app so we don't have to carry around a POL authenticator

I never used friend list plus but I would rather have more cell phone apps. I know there is one already out but its not that great and its not for communication.

Communication app for linkshell and friendlist (I would settle for friendlist at least)
Mobile auth (because buying it and then not being able to replace the battery and use it again for 10 bucks is bs)
Including Android
More mobile support in general for these (maybe) future addons and for the services they already have.

Ever since I got a smart phone its just too easy to do what I would have done in the past. If I want to check my email I just turn on my internet and if I have any new emails I get the notifcation. I dont have to sit down in front of my keyboard and log it. Its all streamline to my phone and I am control it and use it where ever I please. The fast they have more support and more mobile the better this well be.

Also if they do add all this mobile features, I bet more newer players will show up at least.
Also, again, I will forgive Square Enix for betraying us and making FFXIV. All will be forgive SE, just make mobile and all is fair.

A mobile app would be cool however, we can't use it to replace the FOB. Thats the whole purpose of the authenticator: no communication link to any server/internet device whatsoever. If you had a mobile FOB on your smartphone, then it would be accessed over the internet and someone could potentially corrupt the authenticator system,

Being able to see and post to LS chat and/or tells in game would be awesome to have in a phone app. Though definitely without the requirement of having to be logged in on a PC would be ideal after all can't control getting back on if you get disconnected for any reason.

So what you're saying is someone would have to hack your smartphone and then get the generated key before you can put it into the login screen?
How about how someone can hack your computer, prevent the login from actually being sent, and log the key you just tried to send to PoL?
How is either of them actually safer? Sorry I don't like false senses of security.
