Final Fantasy 14 App

[Tridus]

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.

It's worse than that if you look at what the free one can do: Inventory management excluding retainers and saddlebag. That's inventory management excluding the majority of your inventory.

Is managing a third of your inventory really a feature? Hell, is configuring notifications a feature, rather than something that's flat out expected as a minimum baseline requirement for a modern app?

In truth, the free version of the app is a demo version. Nothing more. The fact that you need a paid app to be able to directly move things between chocobo inventory and retainer inventory is a bleeping joke. That's a basic UI defect of the game they're not fixing except in a paywalled thing.

@Tridus pparently in Japan they don't have discord or something so from their point of wiew the app is very useful if that's true.

As for us ye the free app is pretty much worthless

I can see that, yeah. But it adds to the tone deaf-ness we keep seeing with their non Japanese players and goes back to why communication is an issue.

It does add to that, however they had an extensive exposition about bots issue on the LL and they added a bot section to rmt reports.
Which leads me to believe they do listen and are quick to respond to some topics.
What now I want to know is if the app will be like that in global or not.

Frankly I think that we need to state our distate of the current app system and be very vocal about the problems ESPECIALLY since atm the free one is completely worthless for non jpn players since there are already free programs that allow us to achieve some of those functions.
Not to mention that we must NOT settle for a double size saddlebag behind a premium fee (retainers are already too much imho)
