I don't know if I can explain this right to be understood, but something I would absolutely want would be an app for the PSN/PS Vita that allows you to view world server status, personal character status (in-game and lodestone achievments, etc.), and an integrated Lodestone/forum page.
Some MMO's offer mobile apps for phones that allow an individual to view their character info within a game. I believe Yoshi may have mentioned something like this after an earlier request several months ago.
I would like to spark some recent opinions on this matter if such an app would be worthwhile.
Personally, I would pay as much as $20 reasonably for the app.

they have apps on ps3?
doesn't it have a full web browser? >_> -
01-27-2013, 05:13 PMMyKotoShiIt is possible to add apps to the ps3 but it works sorta different that a mobile device. I was mostly focused on a Vita app, additionally the browser on the PS3 is severely lacking as a true browser.Quote:

They do have various applications on ps3 mostly video ones. The web browser is really lacking though and often freezes. Probably won't get getting a good one on a Sony system till PS4.

01-27-2013, 08:02 PMZehiraYes, they have YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Photo Gallery, and more. Those are 'called' apps. It's pretty much like what you do with iPhone but few apps though.Quote:

Have they said anything about markets or auction houses? FFXIVAH would be win, I always had shouts up on my ipad next to monitor when i was out of Jueno, never a dull moment.

01-28-2013, 03:19 AMMyKotoShiWell I know that it came up (maybe during a live show?) and Yoshi made a comment, not that there was any plans of adding any kind of app at that time. I would try to look for it if I could remember it better when/where it was mentioned, but I'm... lazy?Quote:

It would cost them extra money to make one but for now let's worry about the gameplay first. ^^ -
01-28-2013, 03:42 AMMyKotoShiOh please don't misunderstand. Earlier I suggested the app for the PSN (PlayStation Network) which hosts apps for PS3 and PS Vita. It was my intention that the app would really only have benefit via mobile, meaning for the PS Vita; so you can check your FFXIV w/e on the go @ hotspots.Quote:

Yet, I found some comments that they were wanting an app for their Vita on the go. Let me know if you find anything with that power of Google. If not, well best of luck to you darling. X3
