FFXIV App <3

Gathering will not work, because you need to go to nodes to gather. To do this they will effectively need to port the whole game to a smartphone, which will be verging on impossible, or they could ofcourse break gathering so you can do it anywhere, so no one gathers ingame they just do it on thier phone because most of gathering is running to nodes.

It would require that they have a very low graphic client that mimics what you do in game where you run your 'character' around a zone built for mobiles by yourself unless you are using a wifi connection. I'd be very curious the amount of data having all the people moving around would hit in a month of heavy usage.

Btw these are the words, from Yoshida himself:

RPGSite: Have you considered bringing FINAL FANTASY XIV to the PlayStation Vita?

Yoshida: Yes, currently this is all post-2.0, but because we’re doing a reconstruction of our server system, in those plans, we’re going to make sure that the servers can be accessed by outside devices such as smart phones. Not just the Vita, but also smart phones, so that kind of access will be allowed. What that will open the door to is things like applications that people can used to check their inventory, or check the market and purchase things from the auctions. Those are the things we are laying for in our server foundation, so we can be ready to implement those after 2.0.

For example, beyond that, maybe an application that lets you raise your chocobo, and then transfer it back into the game.

It wouldnt be that simple, a phone would have huge problems, you would only beable to see about 6 character models most even low at extremely low resolution, even the size of the zones could cause huge problems, it would require atleast 1 year just to make it possible to gather, and it would be completly impossible on a low end smart phone (my android phone lags on alot of angry birds levels) high end ones like the galaxy s2 and iPhone 4s may beable to run a low resolution client, but it will take along time to make and really wouldnt be worth it.

I don't think gathering would work either.. But crafting is a different matter entirely.
even if it simply gave us the in game crafting interface with a small indicator to show synth colour/stability, this would give us an option to get a bit of crafting in when we are out and about. Because really... crafting isn't the most engaging content available right now T_T

Since I have Xperia Play, maybe usefull FF14 on android platform would be great.

And even better, if one can play the entire FF14 on cloud gaming platform like OnLive services.

I would really like to see a app for FFXIV. I know the developers are hard at work on ARR, but after launch this would be a great opportunity for more SE revenue. And like many have already said there could be lots of possibilities for things for SE to provide via an app.

I want an app for my Android phone! An app to check the market trends! Have a flying moogle with a camera going through all the zones(like the FFxi live).

In game event calendar that can be viewed out of game on the website ect is a must. The calender should have the ability for you to create events invite people, have people in your guild be able to sign up.

Character information
Friend information
LS member information
Free company information


…perhaps in the future, something related to housing information and such as well.

Though we are not able to share any details on this just yet, if you have any feedback please let us know.

>>>and in-game time, market ward information, gil price flux., Hamlet ranking board stats, air-ship departure/arrival times, shout logs, quest to do/ quest done list... etc.

Count down timer to when Dalamud touches down.
