"Why is this game happening" China... Just be honest, it's for China. They are the biggest consumer of mobile games and SE wants the fat stacks that will come from appealing to that market. There is literally no other reason.
and honestly hope they get it. Hope the adaptation to mobile is pretty good and that they make the fat stacks out of it. Maybe then the SE higher ups will realize FF14 deserves bigger investment
@pedropereira6888 We can hope but I kinda doubt it. SE is showing they are fine with cruising by on the money Ff14 brings in and not actually investing it back into it. If they did, maybe we would have Viera and hrothgar hats, and a better glamour system by now lul.
@mattvitalis789 Bigger than pc gaming? Sure, more profitable for these niche types of games? Absolutely not. Most people that spend money on mobile games in the US aren't buying stuff on cod mobile, pubg mobile, or genshin, they are buying things on games like candy crush, clash of clans, and afk games. Ff14 mobile is not going to have the same player numbers or profit numbers in the US VS China. And the reason is simply culture. They put more emphasis on mobile gaming and spending money in those games since their time is so limited and regulated over there.
as someone from india where majority is mobile gamers would love to see this grow and get us involved in the mmo genre which is majorly missing due to the hardware restrictions.
I hope they polish the graphics a bit more. Mobile gaming standard for graphics have risen. 😅 I'm worried about the game looking too dated compared to other games in the mobile market.
I fully intend to try it. I REALLY want to see how healers and specifically Black Mage is translated to a mobile friendly game. Plus FFXIV is fun so I know I’ll enjoy it from that end at least. If I prefer it will be left to be seen.
People too doom-y nowadays, I'm looking forward to the re-recorded ARR lines, because that's not ARR Minfilia's voice at the end of the announcement trailer.
It's really weird how doomy people are these days. We have gone from a community where any criticism is bad, to one where the game sucks and nothing offered is ever good enough. It's like it happened overnight. We simply don't have enough information to make a judgement on this product and the standard response is "shitty mobile game".
My guess? They reuse the Dungeon Helper AI Scripts for the Mobile Version. They have already some Dungeon Helpers Dungeons build in. Semi Auto moving is also already there (following the Player). I just guess that some Special Attacks still needs the interaction of the Mobile Player. So with this AI Scripts the Mobile is not so overwhelming and could be possible to have control to some degree
F2P for base game seems the sensible approach to attract an audience. YoshiP doesn't want microtransactions, so my guess is that each patch content that gets dropped will be offered for a certain fee.
@@Celis.C Yoshi said nothing about micro transactions. He said no loot boxes. I would guess it will have a ton of what the current ffxiv cash shop has.
Square is not stranger to developing mobile games with great story telling. There's been many great Mobile RPGs over the years square has developed and they know how to make them fit into a mobile cadence. I already know a few ways they can manage the Cutscenes based on past mobile games they put out.
@@sayaningen wait what? You never heard of genshin? That game is like 2x more wordy then FF and is more popular then FF. Also FGO another mobile game, is super story heavy. Story base mobile games are one of the most popular games on mobile
@@HMNNO im From SEA mobile gaming is primary, maybe in internet many people discuss about story and stuff, but people around me atleast only care maybe little bit of lore and then how much powerful the character is.
So from the website they say "free trials will be available" leading me to believe that there will be a subscription for this mobile game... The quest is... Dose a full version player have to pay this EXTRA prescription to play the phone version... Or is there going to be any benefit to playing both. If i have to pay a extra sub or if there is just no benefit to put time in to the mobil one... Then i see zero reason for me to even check it out...
I think the free trial thing was about the 30mil players as if you look for the * on that page its next to the 30mil players reference, as in that number counts free trial players not just subbed ones.
Me personally really want to try this out, was playing games from the Commodore C64, PC, PSX, PC most popular MMO's like WOW and, yeah, FFXIV but dont really feel like sitting in front of PC anymore for so many hours, just not resting in front of PC anymore after hard day. I find myself resting with phone on the couch checking stuff, watching vid's and playing some premium mobile games like Stardew Valley or f2p like Albion Online so have nothing against FFXIV mobile, can't wait.
I trust yoshi p. And on this occasion, I trust square on this as well. I played ff mobius and my god the story for that was one of the best stories I've ever witnessed on the mobile platform. On top of that, I'm seriously wondering if the writer for shadowbringers had something to do with mobius. If some of you guys didnt get the chance to play it, my god you missed out on something special. I know yoshi p won't be down with the traditional micro transcrion bullocks and this will most likely be a monthly subscription service. I'll still be a bit skeptical because i know most of the skills may be stripped down and in addition to that, while I highly doubt theres gonna micro transactions to an egregious degree, its still on a mobile platform so I still expect some to be present. As for skills, if they do a setup similar to what black desert mobile has done in terms of how they've gotten their skills set up, i think we'll get a similar experience to what we get on pc. While it wont be the same, it'll be close enough. I'm still vigilant, but i am very excited for this new endevor that yoshi, square and the team are embarking on. Looking forward to it.
The original director for 1.0 famously said that "Levequests are the future of MMOs" we all laughed at him. But they are short form quests and mini-overworld dungeons, perfect for mobile. We all laughed at him..... but he was right.
I am really curious how this will play like. If I can do my dailys or DOL or DOH content while I chill out in bed or on the couch. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to get up on my PC sitting upright in a desk chair to do such things. So this might be a good companion app
i played sao Integral Factor i think it's gonna be similar controls i really love sao mmo. it's freaking awesome if they add that form it will work 100% the control feels amazing especially the menu.
I wonder if the phone being docked will be supported, so a monitor can be attached, and maybe mouse + keyboard or controller. I don't see how instanced combat can be viable otherwise.
If there was any transfer from mobile to pc I think at the most it could be just msq and level progress, but nothing else. The gameplay and itemisation behind the scenes will definitrly be super different
If it's still going to be the full FFXIV experience does that mean we can use like a watered down version of our current character? Like will this be connected to the actual FFXIV in any way?
I was more interested till I heard it was not the main game but it's own version. I want to do dailies on the couch sometimes. Or do something like gold saucer.
This is interesting for sure. Very curious to see more details. I don't see how raiding would work on mobile. Imagine you're in the middle of it, your phone is hot and the battery is draining and you run out... what then?
Honestly monetization is the big one for me, I have a lot of friends who are too busy to play an mmo, can't invest properly into gaming but I think would legitimately be interested in the story of XIV. But if its going to cost an arm or a leg to play it/progress they still wont touch it. Also curious on since that scene showed New Minfilia's voice does that mean they're re-voicing ARR with the current voice acting cast and will that move over to the main game as well? I'd love to see that kind of investment into FFXIV as its always super jarring for people transitioning between ARR to Heavensward with the new cast.
I can imagine the combos will be condensed like pvp actions. That's the only way I can see it working. Condensing the GCD combos into 1 button and the oGCDs into another button. Cooldowns for tanks will be other buttons. All important buttons will be separated, and all combos will be condensed
Auto combos might work well as well to reduce hand strain from grinding on a touch screen game. I could see a 1-2-3 combo being automatically done for you while you manually press cooldowns.
What im most interested about with this version is the fact that its very likely an entirely new engine, so they got another studio to completely remake the game
They’re probably going with the gambit approach for combat. You define different presets and then let the character auto battle while you still can move around. I suppose just like ff12
Its a hassle to redesign the class skill and stuff because it will effect class balance later on. Is it impossible to make some sort simple lightweight gadget like a mount on to mobile phone that have many button to play a console layout class version of ff14? I heard they painstakingly made that and people say it was good. I imagine a lot of people are willing to buy that if they can crossplay their character. What are your guys though? Either way i trust yoshi p decisions, i just hope it was one of things that came up as discussion as option.
I dont care for mobile games. Typically too barebones for me. If my phone can handle the game i will give it a try but it wouldnt be more for like an hour EDIT: im wondering if there will be one of those 'time limited' systems in place. For FF14 mobile example maybe you can only get X amount of exp per day to limit progression playtime but still able to run around and maybe gold saucer
My question is will the combat system in mobile out perform the PC version? And I highly doubt it'll pull in most ppl to try out the PC version. Mobile players will be too invested in the mobile versions.
Honestly my one concern so far is that Lightspeed Studios openly puts gen ai in their games and makes me worried that ffxiv mobile could have it, unless proven otherwise.
It is kind of funny seeing commenters only reading the headline For everyone else: this is completely separate from the pc version, and Square Enix is not the developer so it doesnt affect the pc game, there will be no gacha in the game, put your pitchforks down
"Yet" if it has gacha and it does well I have no doubt SE will try to find a way to add it to the pc build. This is the sane company that was Gung-ho to embrace crypto remember?
@@TeeSeeDubs Sucks that yoshiP doesnt have the final say now doesnt it. Sure he can rebel against them and push for it to not be added, but if SE is really ever that pressed for money, or become that greedy, they can force CBU3 to put it in the game with no say for the director himself.
@luckytanuki5449 Obv they can force him and CB3 to implement stuff but the reason FF14 has remained untouched by SE nonsense is because FF14 genuinely finances alot of the stupid projects through its revenue. They know to just let Yoshi P do his thing and they will have a consistent revenue stream from him.
@TeeSeeDubs Did you not read what I said before or are you purposefully ignoring it? Yes, they give him a lot of leeway to run the game as he wants because it is their cash cow. But if they decide to get extra greedy from seeing the success in China, or get desperate, then they can implement that stuff and yoship can't say a single thing to force them to reconsider. I do not have the trust in SE that you seem to to believe that they wouldn't/won't do that in the future.
I feel like the mobile version should just be a stepping stone FOR FFXIV on PC, so keep the version as the ARR version perhaps and just let players be 'excited' to try It out on PC or Playstation If you're a pleb. But, lets be honest It's for the China market. Sadge.
The mobile market is successful because it grants very easy instant gratification. I do not think 14 fits this model at all, especially with arr. I think if they don't adjust the pacing of the story this will be a dud.
"A lot of the planet does." Yeah. I really hope there's a lot more localisations. I have friends I play games on mobile with from pretty much all of SEA, South America, and Africa. I'd love to see some of the big hitters from those countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, and for the love of god any kind of Spanish speaking country) get some localisations for this project. Billions of potential users there. FFXIV could literally become the global gaming phenomenon if they took the opportunity here to localise more. Voice acting not necessary if it's too pricey, just get the narrative translated please! D:
🤔🤔They could have auto move options for dungeons were you just have to hit the skill macros Tho if thats the case.. how do they get capitated🤔and is punishment of bad positioning nessesary. They could also add more quicktime events for bosses were you maybe have to click on appearing crystals and you dodge to tye correct position or you get hit by an attack lol😂 Very interesting tho! Been playing this game since 2.1/2.2 and i never throught it would get a mobile version 😂
Just so you know if they go on with if they are using the same content patch cycle as the original ARR content releases are going to be vastly different to what you are used to now lol. In ARR the Hard mode fights were the endgame versions of trials. Extremes did not exist until 2.1. And crafted gear was pretty much for the most part useless.
hmm mobile gaming is pretty big in many countries .so having a game like ffxiv on mobile is awesome but i just hope it dosent become a p2w or gacha game
i have played my fair share of mobile MMOs....my opinion is....mobile gamers will remain mobile gamers, they are usually not likely to game heavily on both platforms. so this game is targeting an untapped market for them.
I been playing FF14 for ten years... but I'm not a fan of mobile games so i will be skipping this, i wish them success.... And Maybe they can make enough money and make a movie anime/live action. That's something i think would be cool
Why the fuck would anyone go that far out of the way to play it like a PC game on a small screen? At that point, sit down at your computer and play, for more than 30 minutes without batteries dying, and being able to actually enjoy the game
Not a mobile gamer, and if i was i doubt my almost 10yo phone would be able to handle it given its starting to freeze when pulling up the keyboard to comment lol.
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Stormblood and Heavensward expansions up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime, now on your Android or Iphone?
My questions are, what is the payment going to be like for it? One time purchase, sub, or purchase and sub? Will it tie into your already existing FFXIV sub? Will we be able to play it on PC or console (some people would be interested to have a “vanilla” 2.0 experience)? The thought of playing a game like 14 on a phone makes me immediately disinterested. It’s like being offered a slim Jim when you usually eat a ribeye. I don’t think it will last. I give it 2-3 years after launch before the player counts dwindle down, but who knows right?
You'd be surprised. There r some great looking games that run on basically every phone from the past 5 years and this is a downgraded version of FF graphics-wise.
I was a little bit interested when I thought it would be crossplay so i can use to do my dailies and stuff on the go but it is a seperate thing from just ARR. unless you are a new player what is the point ?
It's the small potential people may miss by thinking of potentially everyday activities, especially with the younger audience. How often are kids, when visiting relatives, are dropped off infront of the TV, DVD player or Tablet to keep themselves busy. When one kid is in the middle of watching a ffxiv cutscene, another kid is going to ask him what he is watching. From which it would be very easy for a 30 minute cutscene to play and have a few kids watching it together to see how it all happens. Easy social interactions between kids do now with like Naruto or One Piece. FFxiv, with it's cutscene based game can easily do what the top anime do when it comes to bonds between friends watching a show together. As a test, maybe Preach could have a cutscene ready for his kids and visit some friends or family with kids and see if what happens in the cutscene catches the eye of the kids. Subtitle reading is a very common thing to do nowadays compared to years before.

They might actually have solved how to revoice ARR.
@natebroadus8474 that would be awesome, even better if they record more lines for msq, since ARR doesn't have that many voiced cutscenes at all.
The MOMENT I heard that voice I was like “wait that’s HW MINFILIA AND NOT ARR MINFILIA!!”
doom-y? you FF14 fangirls dont know anything but positivity while sh*tting on other games

We simply don't have enough information to make a judgement on this product and the standard response is "shitty mobile game".
If it ends up being a blended mix of PVP Crystalline Conflict controls and PVE abilities, that'd be good.
main thing i'm curious about is how the gameplay will actually work
Scary to think about it getting even worse
The work is being done by another studio to fit the mobile market. We need more info, but it could be a bit simplified.

Now they can actually make the gathering selfie sticks for mobile users.
Do you think they’ll take the chance to update the english VA work for ARR?
I think this seem to be the case from the trailer. We hear minfillia at the end, and it does sound like the post ARR VA.
Minfillia's line at the end of the trailer 100% isn't her ARR voice, so it seems like that's the case.

I do not have the trust in SE that you seem to to believe that they wouldn't/won't do that in the future.
Honestly considering what a snore ARR is (not to me I liked it) playing it on mobile doesn't sound too bad.
But I already have FFXIV on mobile at home. •holds up Steamdeck•
Yoshi P’ s logic : I messed up downtrail so I’m gonna bring ff14 into mobile so I make more sales and get keep my job
Can't wait to watch my phone explode while loading into Limsa.
I feel like the mobile version should just be a stepping stone FOR FFXIV on PC, so keep the version as the ARR version perhaps and just let players be 'excited' to try It out on PC or Playstation If you're a pleb.
But, lets be honest It's for the China market. Sadge.
Now Kitty Pants can save Eorzea while tending to the horses.
I live in NA. Not only am I not the target audience for ARR mobile, but I have zero interest in playing it on a phone.
The mobile market is successful because it grants very easy instant gratification. I do not think 14 fits this model at all, especially with arr. I think if they don't adjust the pacing of the story this will be a dud.
Hopefully the mobile version has a better netcode than the main version.
I fully expect the combat being 1 button auto combo
"A lot of the planet does." Yeah. I really hope there's a lot more localisations. I have friends I play games on mobile with from pretty much all of SEA, South America, and Africa. I'd love to see some of the big hitters from those countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Indonesia, and for the love of god any kind of Spanish speaking country) get some localisations for this project. Billions of potential users there. FFXIV could literally become the global gaming phenomenon if they took the opportunity here to localise more. Voice acting not necessary if it's too pricey, just get the narrative translated please! D:
How can you have an opinion without
1. The gameplay
2. The actial monetization method
This is just high level marketing stuff
🤔🤔They could have auto move options for dungeons were you just have to hit the skill macros
Tho if thats the case.. how do they get capitated🤔and is punishment of bad positioning nessesary.
They could also add more quicktime events for bosses were you maybe have to click on appearing crystals and you dodge to tye correct position or you get hit by an attack lol😂
Very interesting tho!
Been playing this game since 2.1/2.2 and i never throught it would get a mobile version 😂
Not necessarily it's more of a stand alone version of FF14 for the phone.
Okay guys, how about classic but for PC while we're at it?
A Realm Reborn: Reborn
@@Raven-um2wf A Realm Refreshed
Imagine going for the world's first ultimate on mobile
Just so you know if they go on with if they are using the same content patch cycle as the original ARR content releases are going to be vastly different to what you are used to now lol. In ARR the Hard mode fights were the endgame versions of trials. Extremes did not exist until 2.1. And crafted gear was pretty much for the most part useless.
Best case this genshin impact style gameplay, worst case it genshin style monetization
I wonder if this is their way of reworking a realm reborn and port it to pc eventually, since everyone knows its a slog.
The biggest elephant in the room is what's gonna be the monetization structure of the game.
It is curious because so far they confirmed no gacha for the mobile version.
hmm mobile gaming is pretty big in many countries .so having a game like ffxiv on mobile is awesome but i just hope it dosent become a p2w or gacha game
One server many channels please. 😊
Would be interesting. I keep bouncing off of FF14 and I'm not entirely sure why?! 😅
You are looking great btw!
Raiding on mobile sounds like an absolute disaster but should make for some great streams
i have played my fair share of mobile MMOs....my opinion is....mobile gamers will remain mobile gamers, they are usually not likely to game heavily on both platforms. so this game is targeting an untapped market for them.
I been playing FF14 for ten years... but I'm not a fan of mobile games so i will be skipping this, i wish them success.... And Maybe they can make enough money and make a movie anime/live action. That's something i think would be cool
Fact that it's separate from PC basically means I won't play it
No auto / No BP scalling all mmo looks like it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My criteria
STORY
Gameplay
Open world
Class
Type c to hdmi and a controller will be how a lot of people play it
Why the fuck would anyone go that far out of the way to play it like a PC game on a small screen? At that point, sit down at your computer and play, for more than 30 minutes without batteries dying, and being able to actually enjoy the game
Has anyone told Preach that Namazu seems dead? I'm afraid not :(
Look at this fit bloke with hair.
I wonder if we'd have to pay 2 separate subs too.
Starting your kids gaming experience on a phone is just bad parenting.
Is it worth a 12 dollar sub? No i say 4.99-5.99 and add a dollar for a player house sub that your gaurenteed
Semi excited, however i doubt it will be as successful as OSRS simply because of the fact it's not the "real thing".
Not a mobile gamer, and if i was i doubt my almost 10yo phone would be able to handle it given its starting to freeze when pulling up the keyboard to comment lol.
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Stormblood and Heavensward expansions up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime, now on your Android or Iphone?
Do we have a expected release date?
DO YOU GUYS NOT HAVE PHONES? 🤣
so it's just a fully dumbed down version. It simply has to be. There's no escaping it considering the complexity of some fights and jobs.
My questions are, what is the payment going to be like for it? One time purchase, sub, or purchase and sub? Will it tie into your already existing FFXIV sub? Will we be able to play it on PC or console (some people would be interested to have a “vanilla” 2.0 experience)?
The thought of playing a game like 14 on a phone makes me immediately disinterested. It’s like being offered a slim Jim when you usually eat a ribeye.
I don’t think it will last. I give it 2-3 years after launch before the player counts dwindle down, but who knows right?
No way my current phone can even run this unless I pay up like 2k dollars/euros for a new one
Then you get to play for half an hour and your phone's battery is dead.
You'd be surprised. There r some great looking games that run on basically every phone from the past 5 years and this is a downgraded version of FF graphics-wise.
@@Ailwynn I doubt a Samsung Galaxy A71 can run that, but I admire the positive outlook on things.
"biggest mmo" lmao
ARR is a bit too slow for mobile
If it’s free, how do they profit from this?
I was a little bit interested when I thought it would be crossplay so i can use to do my dailies and stuff on the go
but it is a seperate thing from just ARR. unless you are a new player what is the point ?
It's the small potential people may miss by thinking of potentially everyday activities, especially with the younger audience. How often are kids, when visiting relatives, are dropped off infront of the TV, DVD player or Tablet to keep themselves busy. When one kid is in the middle of watching a ffxiv cutscene, another kid is going to ask him what he is watching. From which it would be very easy for a 30 minute cutscene to play and have a few kids watching it together to see how it all happens. Easy social interactions between kids do now with like Naruto or One Piece. FFxiv, with it's cutscene based game can easily do what the top anime do when it comes to bonds between friends watching a show together.
As a test, maybe Preach could have a cutscene ready for his kids and visit some friends or family with kids and see if what happens in the cutscene catches the eye of the kids. Subtitle reading is a very common thing to do nowadays compared to years before.
Beware spending money on this one. SE has a bad habit of shutting down your favorite mobile games they create...
who told you its the biggest? 60M players aint the biggest MMO lol
