FFXIV Go

Get your wallets ready!

https://youtu.be/drq5ER6MHAM

This screams April Fool's. And I love it. Well played, SE.

pokemon go...
the broken phones? it is too self aware...
do not forget what day it is

I can’t wait to throw my phone into the ocean!

"It's a very special plastic stick."

I just felt sad. Because I would like something like this (sans throwing my phone into the river you know) but it will not happen.

Please look forward to it...?

They almost got me...well played SE, well played.

omg... I've watched this silly thing too many times already... I finally got that "Final Fantasy Online GO, aka Gathering Outdoors" meant that 'GO' is an acronym for 'Gathering Outdoors'... lol

It's too perfect.

No doubt it is April’s fools!! Very well done actually, quite funny.

This is amazing.

Finally the app we've all be waiting for!

"Please do not sue us."

Yes Yes! How exciting!

Meanwhile, still waiting for a FFXIV app.

Funny how two awesome ideas- the affection system and this are April Fool's jokes :P

It's almost sad because something like that would be kind of neat, but the way it was done was pure gold.

I gotta admit, i was getting excited about the app until they showed off the selfie stick then i knew this was a joke. GG square

At first glance (reading emails in the morning you know) I was like "Oh, they finally released the new app they promised for years. Hm, nice, with gatherer support. Maybe I will start leveling my... gatherers... now..."

Good job, SE. Well fooled!

Special plastic stick when?

Ofc it's an april fool. We don't even have the app to write ingame and stuff :'D Nice one nonetheless.

Must Have!! <3

Touché, SE.

I got the feeling that the video was taking a sly dig at Apple's videos, especially when they talk about a new iPhone - "...not just a plastic stick...it's a very special plastic stick."

Obvious april's fools is obvious.

But still, I kind of want that.

Right? They make this a joke but I would totally play this, and pay for the privilege. They underestimate how hard core their crafting\gathering playerbase is.

Absolutely loved it. Great April Fools =3

It take a dig at pokemon go it good april fools joke

Looks like they put more into this this then the recent patch... Eureka should have been the prank - this should have been real.

I know it's an April fool's joke (and the video makes it super obvious, especially when the phone falls into the river, and that stick)

But I kind of want it

Not as it's shown in this hilarious video of course, but I do like the general idea of being able to gather things via an app that would end up in my game.

This made me laugh so much. I agree, well done SE. April Fool's Commenced.

Well done SE, this is one of the best April fools jokes yet ^^ It plays so well into my dislike of selfie sticks.

I laughed so hard, I have tears.

To be honest, when I saw this in my e-mail I thought it was about that retainer management app they were planning on doing for a while now.

Now I'm kinda sad. Only kinda, the April Fools' video was great.

GOLDEN NAMAZU! I am so jealous

I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
These April Fools ideas
Are the best they've ever had

10/10 April Fool's prank. I almost fell out of my chair when the guy cast his phone into the lake. Well done, SE. Well done.

Why is this april fools? I would love this.

So i figured out it was pretty much an april fools things when the stick part started but is the gathering thing real? I mean they showed it right on the phone so unless they programmed a program to just show that on the phones screen in the video i feel like its actually part of the real app? Or maybe i'm reading too much into it. I feel like only half the video was april fools while the first have was sorta legit advertising for the official app. Either i'm stating the obvious or they got me good lol. All i really knew about the app before was that it was supposed to have in game chat on it or something.

Not necessarily. The magic of post video editing. The phones could just be displaying a solid color screen, probably blue considering, for filming. Then in post they can replace the blue screens with other videos, animations, still images, w/e to make it look like a program was actually being displayed.
