Now I'm curious if the mobile version has auto-pathing and auto-battling like every other mobile MMO on the market.

While one might assume a mobile version more catered to Japanese preferences would mean the PC version can do its own thing, Yoshi-P has already admitted they're not against adding elements from the mobile version into the PC version if they prove "popular" enough. (And I don't think he was just talking about cash shop cosmetics.)

The more likely possibility is that they just add an NPC/bot option for most or all of the PVP modes with reduced rewards/achievements disabled/no ranked.

I don't know how many other MMOs do that, but there's plenty of MOBAs and class shooters that let you go up against bots of varying difficulty levels with the only other humans being your teammates (and even then some of them will give you bot allies to fill remaining spots/roles). Even a bot mode Frontlines wouldn't be hard to fill if you only need 24 people to show up to make it pop, doubly so if the option proves more desireable for those "just here for the XP and tomes" while those actually wanting to PVP pile into Frontlines proper.
