We are actually getting a Mobile FF14 ? WHAT!?

After looking through the information given so far, current monetization guess is something along Warframe... which i guess could work... something like leveling classes increases master rank...

I could see that. If you want my guess, I would say it would likely follow in step with its retail counterpart with a robust cash shop for outfits, emotes, mounts, etc since the items I just listed do make up a good chunk the FFXIV cash shop. Character services, such as Fantasias, will also be a likely item you will see in the shop.

He did say that. I know there were quite a few people here who disagreed with or were hesitant of the interpretation I took (which would be that retail is being directly affected as to make for porting to mobile easier) but with what is shown in that video, it makes it a lot harder to dispute what he meant when he said that.

I don’t understand this though because if that’s the case they’ve already failed miserably? The combat trailer shows they’re using animations, abilities and effects that don’t exist in the main game. I imagine rotations will be more simplified too, plus there’s the great big spammable auto attack button. So they’ve done all of these job changes to port the game to mobile, then made the mobile game different anyway?

It’s so unbelievably stupid that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was true lol
