The conpainon app

Isn't the comparable app for WoW completely free with zero microtransactions? Makes this whole thing seem like a giant cash grab. Uninstalled after taking the screenshot below.

*5 dollars a month

yes a monthly subscription of $5 -.-' come on we all waste $5 on useless crap everyday. Might as well be this app for extra space and retainer. At least you can enjoy it for a month.

If you're that obsessed with giving SE your money, you could just buy random dyes every month or something.

This is so not worth the data or space on my cellphone.

It doesn't seem to be what people were asking for...which sums up an increasing amount of things in this game, unfortunately. The scary thing is that more time was spent discussing this app during recent Live Letters than there was time spent discussing Pagos.

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.

Can you explain why you are releasing an arguably pay to win system in this game? Why does the retainers and this app cost so much? You are overcharging. With what the mog station charges for items for a single character, sub fees, retainer fees, the micro transactions and a sub fee for the app? Can you explain why you are charging all this money? It is personally insulting to me too see all these high costs for this game when all you do is reskin content and have this meaningless treadmill for "game content". All I see here is a shameless cash grab and shocked there was no responses to the backlash before releasing it.

Oh god this again. When are people going to understand having extra retainers and a saddlebag Is.Not.Pay-to-win.

I wouldn't call it pay to win, but it's still a cash grab. They make a LOT of money already from subscriptions, extra retainers, and mog station sales. WoW's comparable app, besides having many more features, is completely free. This app wants not only a premium subscription but also micro transactions! This is insane.
