FFXIV on Facebook and Iphone? Seriously, why not!

[viion]

No doubt too difficult to do and be very limited usage, for example I would never use it on any of the platforms.

World of Warcraft does it with their Iphone app. They even charge a monthly fee for some features so i don't know how difficult it can be if it's something that was already done.

As for it being profitable, Blizzard is still supporting and updating the app with new features, they wouldn't if it didn't work.

Im going to get so hated for this but Blizzard are better developers than SE, SE have already stated its very difficult to have cross-zone shouts in XI stating the server load would be 3 times as high if you throw in the whole of jeuno+rulude as a single shout zone, this I find very poor server structure.

Blizzard runs no the Battle Net and chat is put through there for all Blizzard games and that is how it works so well for its communication features. You can talk to WoW players through other games and such. SE right now cannot do a lot of ingame features due to bad server structure and this is why I don think they will make a facebook/iphone app anytime soon for communication. At least not anytime soon.

The community could probably craft one together XD like on XI.

SE have cheap servers that why and we all know it and they have poor programing. Also maybe becuase wow such a cheap made game the look of it vs FFXI which is a 2year older game. Also you have to put in a count Blizzard make 14.99 x12mil and they can buy lot's of good severs vs FFXI which make only 12.95 x ??? amount of players that played ffxi.

So it could be becuase wow is cheap looks and easy to run or becuase blizzard have more money to get good programmers to do the work on the servers.

At the end is how much money SE have look at players who want a ffxi port to ps3 with better looks is it hard to do it? maybe does it cost a lot? yes more then making FFXIV and remaking it like there are now.


@viion ahh ya i saw someone doing that but they port the game and play psp

They'd probably make a killing selling this kind of functionality for an additional 1 or 2 bucks a month.

Hell I'd pay it, but obviously we'd have to switch out Tetra Master with Triple Triad.

(Hey guys, did you know I'm a fan of Triple Triad?)

What's the difference between both games again?

What's the difference between both games again?

One is crap and one isn't. Kidding, I just like Triple Triad more and here's why,

The key difference is that the rules of Triple Triad would change depending on where and how you played, and they were pretty interesting ways to play the game, like the same, plus, wall, or elemental rules. These rules would in turn make you think differently about which cards you'd use to make effective use of the board. Tetra Master was static throughout the entirety of the game. Same rules the whole way through.

Triple Triad was also much easier to understand, since there are just 4 numbers for each side of the card (1-A) that determined how good the card was, and so the game felt more like playing a regular card game like briscas(spanish card game), whereas Tetra master had a weird system of 4 numbers and letters that while not bad, was sort of complicated and made the game feel a bit more like a TCG, which may have turned off some people.

Also, Triple Triad was integrated into the main world of FFVIII in the form of item synthesis and story sidequests. Tetra Master did none of this.

Basically, if we're trying to make FFXIV more accesible, then we want something simple yet complex like Triple Triad.

I suppose I'd be more supporting of Tetra Master if they added the level of rule variability and world integration that they did for Triple Triad back in FFVIII.
