Want to be part of game even when away

Is there a way/chance that we will get maybe an app to do somethings in-game when we are at work or school?

Maybe be able to play mini-games when the Golden Saucer comes out? Gather, Fish or craft on the go?

I love FFXIV, but I am a professional and a student so my playtime is limited. I do however have times during my day for quick little sessions of gaming, perfect for some mobile games.

I would love to see a FFXIV app that would let me play in Eorzea in some way, I am not asking for a full PC experience of an MMO on my phone. To be able to craft, fish, check Market Board listings, ect. would be awesome!

What do others think of this? good or bad?
discuss.

just browse the forums & lodestone like the rest of us ;_;
serious suggestion: transfer to a PS4 account, get a PS vita and bam you can have the game on the go.

^^ Remote play is your friend.

install on a laptop? I just bring my laptop to work and set my nostromo on the floor. I can fish or craft based on the sound effects without even looking at the screen while I do my actual work.

Nvidia Shield is another option if your PC supports it.

I second the PS4 suggestion. I was at my ex's place and she was playing her game and I pulled out my Vita and farmed shards, crafted and refilled my retainers. Being able to jump in and literally do anything in the game via wifi is so fucking cool.

Can you do something that needs a constant wifi on any version of the Vita? I have a crystal white Vita from the AC3 bundle, so I find myself curious (planning on begging my parents for a PS4 come Christmas, since with my current rent there's no way I can afford it...)

OH wow I didn't even know that's what this was. That's pretty cool thought I doubt my office would be happy with me burning company bandwidth on this game lol :D

I have a friend who uses Splashtop to play remotely. Just in case you don't have a PS4/vita, as not everyone has that setup.

Remote play via Internet is completely unreliable. Even with 12+ Mbps connections on both ends.

I cant help but read this like "I need to be able to play this on the go, all the time, how can I never stop playing? They are trying to make me go to FFXIV anonymous, but I will never go, neveerr!!"

I get horrible connection issues when I'm just remote playing in the next room. I love the fact I can do it with my Vita but it is not very reliable. I only use it for fishing and wish it had a vibrate function.

What happened with the APP, SE once said we can gather,craft and doing some nice stuff with a handy APP...

An app would be nice, one that would also allow you to log into ls/fc chat. That way during busy weeks at least you can maintain a presense amongst your in-game friends and keep up with what's going on. While in the game there would be more casual chatter from mobile users, something I think ls/fcs need more of.
