If I may add some reassurance, my girlfriend has been able to play the game for the past week or two as she was curious how it compared. The first thing she told me was that everything is expensive and the second thing was that the game is more "dumbed down" content wise/quest wise than the PC/console version is. I personally think this will be what turns people off the mobile game that are expecting an experience similar to what we have now.

For example:
-They provide items to skip job questlines only
-The actual story line is out of order
-A lot of side quests were wiped out
-The market board is locked behind a paywall (essentially making crafting irrelevant as a F2P unless you want to make your own gear)
-The glam system is overly complicated because of the UI they're using
-Housing does not exist
-Base game hairstyles and other customization options were removed with no alternatives given for free


I will say we're in agreement that the one thing the PC version should have is the ability to teleport directly to mini-aethers in the main cities from anywhere in the world, but otherwise it just feels like FF14 with its soul ripped out, is how she put it. It's an MMO but it's not FF14.
