Would you like an in-game parser?

Doesn't really need to be an app for it, more like a thing they have in the actuall game.

Either way, in-game support for a parser or an application on the PS Vita to revive a dead console. Brainstorming for god knows why. :P

I would rather not, smartphone sure, but not Vita. The Vita has nothing to do with Xiv and I don't think people will be appreciative of having to buy one in order to unlock a game feature of a game for a completely different console.

You can play FFXIV on your Vita. That is how much it has to do with FFXIV. Also PS4 and PS Vita are paired and synchronised consoles with remote play support and what not and they have the same operating system. Buying a PS Vita is intended to encourage ppl to buy a PS4 and vise-versa.

The only possible combination of a smartphone parser and a ps4 is with sonys own phones. Sony will never support another companys devices.

Unrelated, but the remote play app was ported to all android phones some time ago. I use it on my tablet to monitor while I fish (vibration enabled) and Netflix.

I feel if they did do it, they should try to keep it's requirements within the ps4. If we couldn't have it directly in the userinterface, like in miniACT plug ins, I wouldn't mind an external app (outside of ffxiv) that would run in the background, similar to a full ACT, that you would have to switch to, to access.
