We are actually getting a Mobile FF14 ? WHAT!?

I would bet Gil this will literally be the first thing they do.

‘Sexy Scion Glamours Banner now Open! Only £5.99 per outfit! Purchase all 10 now and get a FREE Y’shtola Bikini wallpaper for your phone!’

It'll probably not happen that way. Chinese censors for video games may be a bit more prudish, if they operate under the same rules as Wuxia and Xanxia Donghua censors.

The wallpaper, on the other hand, is probably easy to find on any Social Media service you're likely to visit. Heck, Y'shtola was wearing that Summer's Flame Pareo and top combination in-game, as a screenshot posted to Reddit 4 years ago would show.

As far as I can tell, no CBU3 budget funds are being spent by Tencent, so your statement is unsound at best. When I read that SE would "oversee" the project, my mind goes towards "No, putting Y'shtola in a bikini is not appropriate" rather than "CBU3 personnel are deeply involved in making the game".

Letting Tencent create a mobile version of an MMORPG while paying SE for the assets and relative IP is much more profitable compared to having to abandon a number of games-in-progress because the market for said games appears to have tanked.

When Yoshi-P himself is advertising/pushing it, that means SE is putting resources towards it. How much remains to be seen, but at the very least, he's involved in getting it more attention. The fact that he's talking about monetization is even more concerning.

We're getting mobile ffxiv before hrothgar and vierra hats get fixed lmaaaaooooo

[Mortex]

So he told us classic arr server would be a complete trash fire and then they do this ? Also I really hope we don’t get the “ new” jobs (and if yes at least all skills until lvl 100) and get the old 15 buttons of fluff jobs. Maybe I can play healer again and don’t fall asleep……… why do I actually do think about playing mobile if I get all my old cool buttons back and old sch or old whm. Like they will never ever in a million years do old jobs for mobile but just the thought made me actually interested in playing this mobile trash, this is how bad the jobs are atm

Please understand, we as small indie company are struggling with money, so we are happy to announce FFXIV Mobile with the same potato coding from 12 years ago.
Please look forward to it.

[Hallarem]

Please understand, small 100 yen indie company. Hrotgar hats and Viera hats too hard. Please enjoy our cashgrab - devtime wasting mobile-phone version... also without hats! Please look forward to when we come out of EARLY ACCESS. Please look forward to it, dozoooooooo

[Loggos]

... also without hats!

Don't need hats for vieras and hroths if you don't implement vieras and hroths to begin with! Behold, our genius strategy!

(Yes, I know they will most likely be added.)

[CalvinDescoles]

that is actually le most insulting thing... how can we be still at this point with hat and hair for viera and hroths while mobile is a thing... I mean ffs even the new gears can't be that hard to adapt for them.

That why this game is so much more enjoyable with *banwordcauseiamtalkingaboutmods*

Feels like being totaly spit on and kicked by yoshida himself while he is filming this to send this on twitter.

[ShadowyZero]

sad day indeed to learn of this oh how you have fallen so low developers of FFXIV...

guess i'll be joining the club of those saying this game has reached the end of its life.. this will have terrible repercussions if it goes global.

Is this Square-Enix's Diablo Immortal moment?
