SO I finally figured out how to do this today. Previously when I tried to connect I was hit with the red screen of lag making the game unplayable. My service provider told me they had no idea and to get in touch with the phone manufacturer, the phone manufacturer rep was a gamer and theorized it could be a compatibility issue but had no idea beyond that and to get in touch with Square Enix. I phoned Square Enix who theorized it was probably a port issue. After downloading several port forwarding apps and getting nowhere, I stumbled across a post on the internet about someone downloading PdaNet for Android from the appstore. I did this and set it up and problem solved! I can guess how this problem was resolved after installing this app but I'll let someone more technically literate than me explain it if they want to respond to this post
