Old, but makes note of the presentation text regarding intent of making mobile FFXI look just like desktop FFXI. Also, consider this: SE exported assets from FFXI to the DS remake of FFIV. They then ported that to mobile and later to PC. Basically, those assets moved in a cycle from and to PC. They can totally port the mobile client to PC.
