Final Fantasy 14 App

[TheAngelneer]

Well, looks like I'll download the app, register my character for the extra favored teleport destination and immediately delete it from my phone.

I will say, thought, that I'm getting very unhappy with the way SE is managing the game lately, I hope they take the negative feedback and amend their ways before they drive me and a lot of other people away from the game.

I'm honestly not surprised. SE have been constantly pushing that boundary harder and harder, and yet people still defended them. Now look how far they went.

What's worse is a majority of the income won't even go back to FF14. It'll just go to their other games being in development.

Do you need to be connected to your phone so much that you even have to interact with the game via your phone? If you need to chat you can use discord, if you need to access the MB or your retainers you can do so via the game when you're on, no reason to have an app in the first place.

Seems that premium is 5dollars a month: additional kuponut, additional retainer, you can organize items between retainers directly and the saddle, saddle capacity doubled... Not sure if I left something out.

Well, people that pay for extra retainers may dismiss one or two and pick the app. I only have one extra retainer so if I dismiss him and pick the app I would pay more than now, not sure it is worth it, but if you dismiss two retainers...

The idea I don't like too much is people at work updating the price at the market boards with the app (I would feel bad doing that, to be honest) but maybe updating the retainers at home while you sit somewhere different than the PC is a good idea, you might save time. : )

That premium thing is a joke,you have to pay 12E a month,already,so +5 E for "premium" WOOOOOW
Okay what the hell here ? Is Square Enix SOOOOO greedy that they are combining the double subscription thing ? even optional,dude 17+E per month,to not even be able to get all function ? ( cause yeah,there is all the mogstation stuff,and the 5/6 more retainer you have to pay)

In one year its more than 200E in the game,and when you know the game get big update every 6month,its litteraly a scam at this point,

Its final fantasy 14,Not Eve Online or Albion,your caractere is not limited in weigh,you must not store stuff in every city.

And that friend chat in the app ? its not like the world is using discord or something already.

All that ressources they put in that useless app,couldent they use it for i dont know.... MORE CONTENT ? like everyone is asking since years,cause the game get 2 big update per years,and the rest of the time,people just afk in limsa,cause there is litteraly nothing to do.

I can see people already "put you're not forced to" Hey,im paying a subscription,im playing since 2.0,already more than 400E went in that game just of the sub,not even counting to buy the game every expansion,and you're telling me 400E is not enough ?

To conclude,that app is a scam that we did not need,his functiona re limited,apart from crafte who will need it to sell 24h/24h,everyone using discord to talk with people,they were better off adding more content or in 17month,do better than pulling a Fate farm again.

I don't think the app actually gives you a retainer. I think it just increases the cap and it's only useful if you already pay for 9 retainers. So it's like paying $5 to be able to pay an extra $1.

Square EAnix - We know how to nickle&dime fans.

Subscription fee 15$, another 15$ for all retainers and now 5$ pr MONTH for an APP?
And yet we see way more content in the Mogstation than in the game itself. What has happened guys? Did EA or Activision buy you up or something else greedy happen?

[LaurieB]

Well its sure not something I'll use. I don't carry my phone. Simply this, if I'm at home, I play on pc, if I go to a work function no phones allowed nor should there be. If I'm having dinner with friends, I'm not sitting there with a tiny phone screen in my face, I'm talking to them. If I'm driving, or riding with someone, no I'm not sticking that phone in my face. I'm starting to think that this game is moving in a direction that is not for me. I would love extra storage but I'm not paying any more for it than what my sub fee is, matter of principle not money, its not worth it to me.

Find it odd that they have always said that they can't give us more retainers or inventory space do to server limitations, and yet now the servers can magically handle it just fine but only if you pay $5 a month (and I doubt this money is going to upgrading the servers). At this point SE's greed is getting to the point that i may just stop playing their games since they can't help but try to milk their players for every last dollar while giving very little in return.

Look at FFXV, S-E sold half the game for $60! The other 50% will cost $120+ by the time they can be bothered to finish what they spent over a decade on already.

As for inventory in XIV, at this point "server limitations" are a blatent lie. Nothing more than a wet paper bag excuse to tack extra fees on our subs.
