    Lightspeed is making it.

    Seems to be 2.x with recent improvements (added Golden Saucer minigames over the years, flying mounts).

    No details about monetization.

    Is this where our sub money has gone? To remake the game on mobile starting from ARR again?

    Maybe they've realised they've ran out of road with how garbage Dawntrail is and they just want to try and milk the original decade all over again. I'm joking but... Also... Am I?

    SE itself isn't developing it, Lightspeed is, none of our money is realistically going into this version.
    Speaking from experience working in the industry, more than likely Lightspeed sees opportunity to get some major $$$ off a mobile version of FF14, they approached Square for licensing deal, Square approved it, now Square either got paid a handsome sum for the deal, or they'll collect some royalties the mobile port makes. Or both. Either way, Square is/just made a ton of money for doing basically zero work. From the time I worked at Ubisoft, we had plenty of mobile game studios pitching mobile game ideas that involved some of Ubisoft's bigger IPs for licensing deals.

    Either way, this is effectively entirely disconnected from actual FF14 in any development sense. If anything, it might even benefit FF14's development, if Lightspeed adds features/QoL that become extremely popular that could be translated to the main game, putting pressure on the main devs to implement them.

    I pray you are correct about that.

    It feels like someone at SE decided there's very little growth in PC/console gaming with the mobile/tablet generations and is trying to tap the mobile audience but... I don't understand how they plan to do that with this game specifically.

    This isn't the sort of game that is suited for the short attention span of mobile gaming which is meant to be fast and short sessions while you're waiting for a bus to arrive or for water to boil. Is it just not going to have dungeons? Trusts only? Is the entire thing just going to be GATES? I don't understand how this would be monetized.

    Really disappointing to see money put into something so meaningless though.

    My big fear now is that they'll try to link it to the actual game somehow, because I can't imagine anything being compelling enough to make me play a mobile version of FFXIV and it'd hurt to miss out on things as some sort of "incentive" to make a mobile game look successful.

    There's 0 way this will be subscription based on mobile, so you can expect 100% expect aggressive, Genshin lootboxes in that one.

    Very curious about the housing implementation though, ngl.

    So you don't 'open' a virtual box of sorts to get a randomized virtual reward? And those 'boxes' can be purchased with real money?
