Smart Phone App

[Cigaran]

Pardon my dumb question, but here it is: What will the smart phone app do? I didn't read about that anywhere on the website. Any links/further explanations would be appreciated. Thanks!

At the very least, I'd expect it to work like the physical authenticator that shipped with the Collector's Edition. Beyond that it'd be nice if we could buy and sell from the Markets, access Free Company chat, and have a news feed for official FF XIV news that is posted on Facebook and Twitter. I've played another MMO that had an app that incorporated some minigames that you could play to earn items in-game. While I'd love to see something like that, I don't really expect to see them go that route.

As said above - there is already standalone SE Authenticator app available and if you access the Lodestone via your mobile it will switch to the mobile mode which is pretty neat as well. Indeed we expect the dedicated app to do a bit more but it's a fairly good replacement till then.
