other than mobile friendly controls, I don't really see what's different so it raises the question why not just make a mobile client but have it be the same game instead of something seperate...

Well, I know the answer: so they can make F2P microtransaction money in China. Thing is, FFXIV is available there too (though seperate servers and some differences)

At least it seems like they contracted someone more capable than Nexon this time.

Yea i Remember them doing the FF11 mobile game they were Raving about…. That they Axed lol and THIS is why

If it is not axed lmao...can see it surpassing XIV.

It is being done by LightSpeed Studios iirc? So, Yoshi may not be too hands on, which is a good thing for any FF game nowadays.........

Mobile gaming is huge, due to accessibility. A high-end PC or even a gaming console is daunting for many. I know people who do not play consoles or PC, but their phones just as much as I do XI lol. Casual gaming has shifted from consoles to phones. PC was always the "High-end" affair.

It might, in China, where major games on mobile are very successful. In the Western world, people mostly play casual and gacha games on mobile- I don't see it being all that popular outside of China.

That being said, some might actually see this as "FFXIV Classic" since it appears to at least initially be based on A Realm Reborn without any expansions.

Meh i was Hoping for just a FF11 part 2 did not Happen….. that Game is an Abomination… FF on Cookie cutter Rails.
same thing they Did when Sony Axed SWG to make way for Old Republic

Randomly capitalizing Words in your posts Makes them more Annoying to Read. We have these handy features like bold and underline and italic if you feel like something really needs more emphasis.

FFXIV is not "on rails" any more than FFXI is. But regardless, if you don't like something you don't have to play it. Doesn't mean other people can't, shouldn't, or won't enjoy it.
It's not an "abomination" either. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. But your post seems more like bandwagon hate. I doubt you actually played it to come to that conclusion.
