Companion APP Release Date?

Hai guise,

Does anyone know when the Companion app for xiv will be released so I can sub to it to be able to pay for an additional retainer?

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but it sounds so sad...

I posted a request for this as well. It hasn't been addressed in any of the news/notes of any kind.

I keep seeing “app” written in capitals lately. Are you doing it for emphasis or do some people think it’s meant to be an acronym? It’s just short for “application”.

Why would you pay $5 to gain access to pay $2 ($7 total per month) for one retainer!

Honestly, the radio silence about it since the app was first mentioned makes me hopeful that the huge backlash against it is being taken to heart - and thus they're working on making it less... that.

But we all know what SE does with hopes and dreams, so I'm not holding my breath.

Even acronyms aren't usually capitalized once they enter the common vernacular the way "app" has. Laser being a classic example. "Web app," "laser beam". Same thing. Everyone knows exactly what you're referring to and writing it as LASER seems silly and a little pretentious.

Hahaha, but what about LASER BEAMS?
