    So 8 things behind free version and 5 more things to use when you pay for it. (And lets be honest, these five points are probably those that are worth the most to the community. Since retainer management, more inventory through the saddle bags and theoretically even one more retainer which you can use to store and sell stuff are really interesting) If we say that the app can have 13 functions, you can only get to 8 without paying it. That is around 61% of the app and far away from your 90%. And this is only numbers and not just the importance of each function itself.

    Also you bolded those that might have more impact. Interesting how those are all behind the paywall. Which is exactly what my post is about. You cant do 90% of the app for free and the most interesting ones are costing you money. How is that good?

    Even more if you look at it in that way: You can chat and plan events outside of this app already thanks to stuff like discord. And you can also seemingly just chat with those that also own the app.

    I'd also not be surprised if part of the premium fee on the mobile app is meant to recoup costs of developing the mobile app.
    You know whats also interesting? That WoW had an App too (they took it down recently as far as I know) and it was completely free.

    Why even take the money do to something like that? This app was talked about for such a long time and probably needs staff to look and work on it. All of that is money. For a chat that you can already do with discord, invites that still need people online to do it. With MB that you can either do once a day or twice (or x often if they can be done with coins too..) The retainer management also makes only sense to me if you use that to sell stuff which you still can do only twice a day if you pay.

    So we are left with increase of retainer and chocobo saddle. Did we really need an app for that? Couldnt they have taken all that money that is put into this and will be put into it and just increased inventory for all of us?

    Honestly the april fool FF14 Go was much more interesting than this. (For me at least)

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
