We are actually getting a Mobile FF14 ? WHAT!?

Good. This is what all the die hard fans wanted when they told others to vote with their wallet and unsub instead of giving feedback. Time for them to loosen their purse strings to make up for the losses.

Tell me five things they implemented from 0 that were generated from forum feedback.

A mobile game is not done overnight, and MMOs as a genre have been dying for a long time simply because they are not profitable enough. Every single MMO that came out and had cash-grab mechanics failed abysmally or they never saw the light of day or even worse, the entire project proved to be a scam.

Everyone laughed at Diablo 4 mobile and now everyone is trying to jump on the same wreck train and replicate its success.

Ah, so that was one of their 'mysterious projects.'
Now we get why they’re putting less and less effort into the game and throwing our money away on mobile trash.
I don’t want to be a downer, but I really don’t think this project’s gonna make it

More money goes to the IP not just a small branch of it. Stop schizoing out like the game is dead.

game is not dead yet, but it is in a dying stat. Stop being delu

This is a Mistake and i am pretty sure Yoshi P got pushed into this.

[Rieze_Xeero]

I honestly would prefer FF11 than 14.

[Axxion]

imagine raiding on this. Sorry guys i need to charge my phone mid pull.

When i read things like "ah thats the reason why they put less effort in the game another project" or any bullshit, serious question can you read? Its not the SE Team which produces the Game its Tencent and it will never be Cross-Play or Cross-Save, SE just gets the free money from it, thats it

The companies do not think in IPs. They think in returns. If FF14 Mobile gives them more return than FF14 Online then they will prioritize the first. And propably cut ressources from the second. Every company does this, especially publicly traded companies. And since SQEX produced some really epic megafails like Forspoken, they need money desperatetly.

Honestly, if someone thinks a third-party developer will just rework the entire AAR for mobile for SE for free... that's pretty naive. It’s all about cutting costs and reducing the budget for the main game. And seriously, does anyone really think Yoshi-P will just ignore this project and won’t be fully involved in it? That’s just not how it works.

Its pretty easy and this is actually how Tencent works. Square sells Licence Rights to Tencent and gets a xyz amount or gets xyz from the win which Tencent makes with the Game. Tencent will bomb the Game then with Lootboxes and Gacha or any other Mobile Cash grabs while Square profits from it and doesnt care about it. Tencent makes big $$$$ because lets be real people will play this game without question maybe not NA/EU but its not new that Mobilegames are the most played things in Asian Countrys.
