Final Fantasy 14 App

[Remedi]

I doubt the servers are in such a dire state. Square Enix make a significant amount of money and could easily redirect the money made from existing purchases into expanding FFXIV's server stability/capacity. Yet they've made it clear that they fund other projects with the money made from FFXIV.

The problems with instance servers frankly spells that they have reoccuring problems with it.
About money I don't know where they go nor I want to talk about suppositions of where they are going.

Fact remains that this app, while it might be considered normal in japan I will consider it unacceptable

I do not like this development.

Also funny how they are able to double the saddle capacity if you pay them money but otherwise server somehow cant handle it..

Because there's a difference between everyone having it for free and "causing server strain" and the few people willing to throw their money at anything and they know it and will milk the opportunity.

It's really hard not to get the impression that half their budget is going into premium features at this point. Can't even get an official translation of what they're trying to sell us, but hey, hurry up and buy!

Pretty disappointing, especially for things like transferring inventory between saddlebag and retainer. That's clunky as hell in game and they're making you pay to fix a basic UI defect? Pathetic.

And what's with the kupo nuts, anyway? That just smells like an iOS game that wants you to constantly be logging in and babysitting it. They don't need to over complicate every damn thing.

The only thing that could make it worse is if the Kupo Nuts can purchase the items for free or at a reduced price. (giving full price to the auctioneer of course)

The most worrying thing is not necessarily what they have announced but instead what they could use moogle coins and kupo nuts for in the future... This would be fine for a f2p MMO but even WoW doesn't stoop this low.

Alright, to give credit where credit is due they are talking about the bot infestation. That's a step in the right direction at least - though it's sorely needed since PvP is at risk of dying out.

I swear ff14 does everything in it's power to make me hate moogles, lol

[EmmaVirgin]

you can do what ever you want SE. im still not willing to spend extra money for inventoryspace. its maybe not pay2win but its pay4advantage and thats not okay in a subgame. (in my opinion)

[Lucinda]

I like the idea of the app, I can imagine myself forking over extra for the premium. However it does perplex me a little seeing a sub game pull something like this. I’d expect it more from a F2P game.
