The conpainon app

[Luna-M]

It's on the google play store but not available for everyone yet.

Taken down now. It really ironic to me however for their reason to take it down. What Yoshida describe is something they could easily done with a patch update.

Considering they haven't hit a deadline in ages, I would say don't be surprised by this.

Hello, everyone. This is FFXIV Producer and Director, Naoki Yoshida.

During a recent Letter from the Producer LIVE, I mentioned our new companion app would be released around the end of July or the beginning of August. Unfortunately, we’ve had to push back this date, and I wish to apologize, as well as explain the reason for the delay.

Testing and debugging of the app itself is complete, and we submitted it to distributors at the end of July. As you might imagine, FFXIV Companion contains features not typically found in a mobile app, some of which require registration and installation of the game. The implementation of these features has necessitated several exchanges with the distributors, which has delayed the processing of our submission by several days.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection of the app’s features─more specifically, the chat function─while there are no problems with its functionality, there were certain aspects of the design we weren’t completely satisfied with, which have since been adjusted.

Our submission should be processed within a few days, and we plan to release the app as soon we receive approval, which could even be this week.

Again, I apologize for the delay, and I ask that you bear with us a little while longer.

Google Play Download was available, now App Server down/locked? No need to apologize. Empty words.

Can anyone confirm whether it had been available for a while for iOS as well? If not - I suspect that the verification process on Google Play had been done more quickly than they expected, and they took down the App for the time being so that there wouldn't be a shitstorm because iOS has yet to wait.

Shitstorm already exists, because the app has been deactivated. Enix just slept with IOS.

Geez, calm down a bit, will you? If you were an iOS user, you'd be crying about not having the App while others do. They will have a reason for taking it down, so nothing much one can do except waiting.

what's a conpanion anyway? xD

Pretty sure everyone who use a iPhone does.

If their iPhone doesn't break from simply looking at it, then yes, I assume they do
