I wanted to comment about the smartphone apps mentioned by Yoshi-P. I like the idea of having viewable content on my iPhone or iPad. I very much like the idea of replacing my Authenticator with an app on my smartphone. I travel a lot and don't want to always carry my Authenticator with me. I know this is an old topic, but I thought I would reply to this thread since he mentions smartphone apps.

I didn't get to attend the final battle, as i was not feeling well and it would have been very late EST. I however have watched the ending trailer several times and Yoshi-P and the team did an excellent job on the trailer it was very immersive. Thanks DEV team for all the hard work!!

Please do not take this the wrong way, i am not against having an application for the authenticator/RSA key.
I do think that using an application that you can install on multiple devices to produce your authentication key is a TERRIBLE idea. The only way i would support it personally is if it were a SEPARATE key that required you to have a standard authenticator or gave the option to keep one which you could use to shut down your account or at least shut down the application controlled authenticator.

When you allow the ORIGINAL KEY to be transmitted, it can be intercepted. right now, the only way for someone to get your authenticator compromised is to gain access to the database that SE holds for authentication (in which case we would all be screwed no matter the authentication type), but when there is an mobile phone application, spyware could easily glean your original key.


TL;DR I have an unpopular opinion based on security paranoia.

oooeeh i can't wait to see if i will be picked out for alpha ^^/ im free till 1jan so i can test my rear end off if they make me to

thanks yoshi-p for explaining a few things! i already had a feeling it couldnt be just a moon, but i missed a few hints you stated there. like when dalamud went closer and closer, those weird spiky things are not anything that a moon should have! plus the fact that van darnus was a drg type fighter already set some bells off ~.^

i cant wait, i really cant, to see how the story unfolds in ARR! because, gameplay and all is good but it's about the story as well

Thanks to Yoshi and the devs for bringing us these posts.

FF series was born on console, and i have many friends on 11 who refuse to even play 14 because it is not on a console. More people more memories, best advertising is word of mouth and ive already brought some players back and more to come.

i bet the ppl wanting seperate server for ps3's is related to the famous "ps2 limitations" in ffxi. where PC users were forced to deal withstuff because they had to be fair to ps2 players, you know the story, lol
