Final Fantasy 14 App

I'm going to reserve my judgment on the whole free vs premium when they officially announce the exact differences between both (live letters are subject to change and often don't include all details).

If all that really differs is the whole kupo nut for market board, then it's not much of an issue to me because I primarily want the app for the retainer to retainer transfer.
If the retainer to retainer transfer is premium, I'll be very annoyed.

Bah.

Not downloading it then >.>

To watch companies get that desperate for all our money... to think anti-consumer dumpster fires like this app got off the ground with horse armor and the option to fix bugs post launch on consoles.

I agree with you on this. Regardless people will still buy it. People are tripping maybe SE just want to say premium to get a raise out of people. Trust me when i say give it a day or so people will bitch and complain about something else.

There go my dreams of creating a slave moogle empire.

Adding that I'm not completely against the idea of premium. Just of features that are exclusive for premium. Having extra kupo nuts for premium I can live with. same with an increase MB transaction limit. That's why I don't mind things like buying extra retainers because we still have the included retainers.

But having a feature that's premium only , like the retainer management, feels like an insult because this app is only valuable for actual players, which means those "free" users are already paying for subs and expansions.

Premium for "extra" = I can tolerate it
Premium for "only" = no thank you

I just wanted an App where I could manage my retainer ventures and list more items on the MB. Why does SE have to take this simple idea and twist it into this freemium nightmare?

Because they need to over complicate everything. That seems to be the XIV way. Never an elegant solution when there's a clunky monstrosity with multiple currencies instead.

I didnt watch the live letter. When is this app suppose to be coming out?

It might be during 4.3 release or sometime after.

Sorry but there is no way around it. It's a freemium service on top of an already sub based game (+cost of the expansions and base game).
The obligation to log in every day to get just 1 coin and a paid tier which somewhat pricey as well is what you would expect from a Nexon made mobile game.
And they already said they will expand the freemium features of this app.
Fact is that half of obtainable storage of this game is locked behind a paywall. A guy on this thread did the math on how many exactly inventory slots are locked behind paywalls and the result hurts.
And all of this crap on top of an already overpriced Mog Station with items you would expect from a F2P game and not from a buy to play + sub based game.
As for the Mog Station most of the items there should have been obtainable in game from Quests, Boss drops and Achievements.
The items there also sneakily became more expensive over time and they even removed the ability to be account wide. Now they are character only.
Stop trying to get around it and sweeten the poison.
