We are actually getting a Mobile FF14 ? WHAT!?

[AnnRam]

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?

Im not exactly sure why I get the feeling this announcement is a sign that it’s over for this game but I do. I guess It’s just cell phone games are not meant to be taken seriously and on top of that most of them are cash grabs.

But whatever feeling I have about this is not a good one for sure. Oh well.

Saying mobile games are not to be taken seriously in 2024 is living in a cave. Monetization is one thing, experience is another, which multiple games have shown to deliver in the last few years.

[Rehayem]

Just wait til the mobile version makes bank for SE, then they will focus on improving just that since countries like China has a bigger mobile game market than PC/console. By reading about their new monetization makes me think of stamina system or limited dungeon entries of sorts.

Why would you need to create FFXIV for mobile, when you have a subscription based MMO with additional purchasable expansion, while also maintaining a very expensive cash shop.

O right, Papa Square Enix needs more money to create shit like Forspoken.
