Sorry SE this app is useless and i was really hoping you guys would do a good job with this.
umm why is there even a free mode??? the only thing you can do is chat literally? you can NOT move items from one place to another and you can only sell one item a day or buy a item??? tf is the point of this other then to grab our money??? i went in thinking i could do pretty much everything a premium member could aside from the amount of nuts obtained per day and the amount i could hold. but no its literally useless unless you pay the 5$ and then your paying 5$ for a choco bag and a retainer when you could get two retainers for 4$.... i really fail to understand SE’s logic on this one. because the app is effectively useless (unless paying the 5$) and i dont need a chat application for ppl who have the same app when i have discord for that.... tfffff... And why isnt there in game chat support like rgere was pose to be that was the whole reason everyone was excited for this app. not so we have another discord taking up space on our phones..... please fix all the things i listed and ill give 5 stars. fix atleast some of them and ill give atleast a higher rating
All in all, having an app like this is a fine idea, but there’s not a lot to do with it. I like the idea of an app that allows players to communicate and schedule with one another, especially in FCs and Fellowships, but there’s virtually no other reason to have this app. Everything it does well, is done already by Discord or other community apps, and while I guess maybe accessing one’s inventory and market board without needing to log out is appealing to someone out there, I can’t imagine any kind of practical use for it here. I think there is a place for a Final Fantasy XIV companion app, this just isn’t the best use for one. When thinking of things I’d use a companion app for, I think of maybe making online store purchases to have waiting for me when I log in next, or maybe having a newsletter detailing in-game events, maintenance schedules, or sales or new items in the online store or Mog Station. It may also be a good opportunity to use the daydream feature and preview costumes on a screen that would allow for better visuals. As an app, it’s functional, but there’s no reason to really want to have it right now. This is also a bit of a nitpick, but having a blurry image of my character staring at me all the time on my Home Screen does not give me joy. Perhaps replace it with an idle animation, or an animated aetheryte crystal. Something to make the visuals a little more dynamic.
I think this app is a great idea, I love being able to talk to friends on the go even when I’m not logged in. The kupo nut system is nice, I just wish maybe the free version had a little more incentive to be used, and $5.00 a month for an extra sub is a bit much for an app for a sub based game as it is. Perhaps give more kupo nuts for the free one, or like a weekly bonus for logging in each day- an extra 3 or so. I probably won’t be using the market transactions so something else to consider would be maybe implementing a way to use the kupo nuts or coins outside of that, maybe for small things in mogstation like a dye for every 5 or so, just something else. Also would be nice to be able to hold more kupo nuts at a time, I can’t remember right this second how many we can hold but I do remember thinking it wasn’t enough. I know it’s in early stages and people are complaining but I do think this is a nice handy little app! Please keep working on it, and don’t let the negative feedback from entitled bratty fans ruin yet another good thing devs have come up with. Thanks for the hard work guys!
To start I would like to say that this app is a great idea because it’s cool to be able to chat with your FC and in-game friends or buy and sell items while you’re away, but there’s two things that completely defeat the purpose of this app. 1 You need to actually have your subscription running to even use this app. I got this app so I could stay in touch with my FC while I don’t currently have my subscription activated, so if I need to have my subscription running to use this then I might as well just log on to the game and talk with them there. 2 The synchronization is horrible. I renewed my subscription, downloaded this and saw that everything was synced up. Then I played the game for a while and started a FC and added someone to my friends list. After I refreshed the app several times and days later it’s still saying that I’m not currently in any FC and the friend I added is not appearing in my contacts (in the app, in the game it’s fine). I’ll give this two stars because I like the idea of this and if they let you use this while your subscription is inactive and it actually synced up properly then this app would be amazing, but right now there’s really no point. The better solution for staying in touch with your FC right now is just setting up a Discord server.
This Companion App is really useful. I like the functionality of being able to sort my inventory without logging in. I have not personally used the calendar planning function yet but i do like the chat function. At times I’d say the chat feels a bit unresponsive but is still decent. The market boards look great, although I wish I could try things on my character. Although I disagree with locking the extra features of the app(retainer inventory management etc.) behind a subscription service. I’m not willing to pay a monthly fee for a retainer, but I would be willing to pay a one time fee to unlock retainer inventory management and other things. Apart from that my biggest complaint is the silence. I’d give this app 4/5 stars if it had some music. It feels weirdly silent and I wish the prelude played in the app. On a side note I love the moogle sound for chat notifications it’s cute and fitting. But the lack of music in the app is discouraging, I’d love to have the simple prelude be able to turned on and off of the app.
The app does exactly what it says it will. The app also tells you exactly what paying for it will get you. Complaining it’s cash grabbing is only valid if you are in the group that believes everything attached to the game should be free. You don’t have to pay for the app, you don’t have to use the Mogstation, and you don’t even have to play the game. I would like to protest that it’s a cash grab to make me subscribe to get good at Savages and Ultimates if I want to get new shiny gear. I *already* pay for the game, why should I have to take the time to be good at it? That’s a paywall! /s The UI and login speed here is a little clunky, but not terrible. The app is fine. The low ratings are coming from people who just want to complain that there’s something they don’t need but want it for free if they decide they need it later.
Please don’t listen to the really old reviews! This app has changed so much and for the better. You can do so many things now. You can send your retainers off! You can buy items from the market board! (This is especially awesome because it’s real-time updated and not run by PC plug-ins. So if an item gets posted by a person who does NOT use the plug-in, websites like Universalis won’t show it. This is how I was able to get a 20k gil unhidden leather map!) You can also put things up for sale and change their prices and take them down, you can move inventory items around, or combine them. The app is extremely useful. Plus if you use the paid version, you get a free retainer plus an extra chocobo saddle bag
Essentially you’re paying roughly $5 for extra space, the Left Saddlebag and another retainer allowing you to have up to 9 Max (if you pay to have extra retainers). You can buy and sell on the market, but even while paying for the app you’re limited, which feels like you’re being cheated out of something great. There needs to be more to this and I feel like there can be. A suggestion would be Venture Support, allow you to send and retrieve retainers and collect items from Ventures. Another suggestion would be Squadron Support, train them, send them out out on missions and check Mission status and training status. Another suggestion would be to add the ability to do some sort of interactive Gathering, Botanist, Miner and Fisher, in areas safe for the level you have attained without worrying about aggro. Disciples of the Hand, allow users to craft items away from game on the app. Mini Golden Saucer, play games, mobile chocobo races, and Cactpot! There could be more to this app than what it is and the fact that we have to pay to use its features to the max, which isn’t a lot, seems to be greedy. Make it worth our while. Do better! Kthnx!
Most of the premium services are supposed to be offered for free. The features it offers complement the game very well, it’s just unfortunate SE insists on locking them behind a paywall. In my opinion, everything available today as premium (excluding the in-game bonuses) should be available for everyone for as part of the game base subscription, and the truly paid* “premium” features should offer users things way beyond everything that’s already available today + the current in-game bonuses (such as +1 retainer and +1 favorite destination, etc.) only when the game’s time expires then it’d make sense for the app to be this limited. As it is now, it’s extremely limited and barely worth the download. The alternatives offer more and better, which renders the app more or less pointless; especially when most users are already paying a subscription to play the game.
A mostly worthless companion app with VERY BADLY needed features.
I play the game on the PS4, and the biggest issue for it is the in game test chat system. You have to rely on the in game digital keyboard to say anything to party members who aren’t in a voice chat of some kind with you. So I was HOPING this app would give me the option to use my phone to chat with party members. It does not allow this simple function. A function that is sorely needed, since you can queue for dungeons and might need to say something quickly to the other party members. All this app does is allow you to chat to people on your friends list (which is a nice feature, to be fair), and you can manage your items and sell items on the market... at the cost is real life money. So, not only is it only useable feature that could be useful very limiting to where you can only chat with people on your friends list, but it requires real life money to do much else with it, making it incredibly greedy as well on top of what else the game demands just to play it, let alone the items you can buy in the Mog Station. In comparison, Microsoft’s Xbox app lets you type in their MMOs’ game chat with their app very easily for FREE. In ANY of their games. I really did expect better from both Sony and Square Enix than this app.
This app is visually stunning and has a great UI system. It’s nearly perfect in every way except one… the pay wall. My first expectation when installing this app was that it would be similar to the old world of Warcraft app where you could manage your auctions an unlimited amount of times. To be able to sell stuff while not at your computer was huge for someone who worked all day. Something I’m sure a lot of people would pay a sub for. However for this app free users get to manage one listing a day.. if you pay for the sub you get to manage two(up to ten if you save for 5 days)? Otherwise you have to drop additional money to manage your listings. My recommendation would be to give unlimited listings to the sub. Something your actual player base would be willing to invest in and not just cater to whales. 1/5 stars with the paywall 5/5 stars without
As a fellow programmer I felt like I should comment on some issues that bothered me a lot! First of all, UI is a disaster, the menus, fonts and even the character visual is so amateurish. Look at the feet of the character image please and then tell me I am wrong! Secondly the chat functionality is very slow and laggy. chat ui, background and frame is really bad I mean they are presets of any app being developed! Please Square Enix do something about it. This seems like a freshman computer science student’s term project. Finally, as a long time player! I really thank you for your attempt to create such a convenience however this doesn’t look like Square Enix’s work. Please update this and I am sure many players will eventually subscribe for this service, but only if it works nicely.
I know some people are calling it useless but I disagree. I like being able to manage my inventory or send a retainer back out on a venture to bring me more mats when I have to be away from the game. I dont use the chat feature but if I was more social I would adore that as well. I bought some coins and use them when I have to make trips to the city to keep my retainer doing its thing as it brings me mats for crafting raid food. The app is slow and a bit buggy but I also think its probably cause it doesn’t get a ton of use and therefor not a ton of attention from SE. I think this app could be worked on some and made even better!
Pretty much useless for anything except chatting unless you pay and even if you pay, it still doesn’t provide enough value unless you’re willing to throw money at it left and right. All I wanted was a way to reprice my listings in the morning when I wake up but you can only relist ONE item (seems to be two if you sub to it... lol more with micro transactions?). Absolute joke. I understand it’s probably better to limit it for the health of the markets but perhaps allow us to relist every item on a retainer once per day? We already pay a sub for the game. I also pay for 2 additional retainers and plenty of cash shop glams. Honestly, asking for a sub on this lack luster app on top of it is just insulting.
Look, I don’t mind paywalls if there is a reasonable return on my investment. Giving me an app that can’t chat to people in game, that can’t function without a bogus in-app currency and still requires a $5 monthly cost is ridiculous. I liked being able to manage my inventories across my bags and retainers, but why make it so anything Marketboard related is behind a ridiculous additional currency. Let me just use the Marketboard if I’m paying for the app. The 1 included retainer and included additional Chocobo Saddlebag are only included to make up some sort of additional worth when the app really has none. As others have said, just get yourself 2 retainers for $2 each and it’s still cheaper than the app and you are actually getting value. This app is not worth paying for, seriously just don’t.
This app does everything advertised, but I see complaints because of it. If you don’t like it, or if your not willing to give it time to improve and be updated, then don’t use it. The app was literally just released, and there are A LOT of people trying to use it. Apps like these take time for them to be fully functional, fixing bugs, preventing crashes, so on and so forth. Wait a couple months or so until they do their job, if it doesn’t improve by then, then you can complain about it. Much love adventures. Good luck, have fun out there my fellow Warriors of Light.
Pay for premium every month? Not good enough, pay more to use all the features!
This app has a lot of potential for what it can do but it is just a cash-grab in disguise. I liked the in-game “discord” aspect of it but also wanted to take advantage of having access to my retainers to send them on ventures with mobile notifications. You can definitely do this… for a price on top of the premium subscription through in-app currency. You cannot even refresh all of your ventures once a day using the currency you receive daily and have to either wait multiple days or pay for currency. Even with all the updates over the years they have still left this cash-grab in the app and it sours the overall experience and usefulness of the app. It is such a big disappointment.
Why make an app that has a premium version and there is no premium benefit to using premium other than extra space in game? This kupo nut system or buying coins on top of it is silly, no to mention a 3% fee for using the app instead of the in game market... I wouldn’t mind paying $5 a month if it completely eliminated the Kupo nut system. Instead it increases it from 2 but max to 10... still pointless since you get one a day. I want to be able to do my commerce while sitting at work bored so I don’t have to spend hours doing inventory management when I’m home in game when I could be out grinding more. Get it together and quit being greedy with your micro transactions. Reminding me of EA Games at this point.
This is really sad :/ I appreciate most of the concepts here but the fact that we have to pay to do anything useful with the app is just ridiculous. We already paid for the game and have to pay a subscription fee to continue playing. And if you need extra retainers you pay for those too. So having to pay a subscription to the app as well is just excessive. As has been stated by plenty of people, I’d have been willing to pay a one time fee, even as high as $10, but I’m not paying a subscription or for any micro transactions to be able to use the features that actually matter on this app. Also, chatting app to app is pointless. Connect us to free company and linkshells in game.
I purchased the premium plan for the choco bag space. Being a daily map runner it has made inv management and map slotting so much easier. And because I work I am unable to play the Market Board like I want so having the option to pop out ten bucks to keep my retainers churning sales was an inexpensive and fun way for me to play the game away. If the free event scheduling and chat functions aren’t your thing and you find the micro transactions cost prohibitive then this might not be the app for you. I think Square has done a solid job with this App so far but I am in a niche market space so I understand this might not be for everyone.
The only thing this lets you do is manage your inventory. You cannot view jobs you don’t have equipped. You cannot send retainers out on ventures. You cannot send Grand Company on Squad Missions or Training. Your paying a larger fee than just buying an extra retainer to get a second kupo nut per day(useless) and to have double the saddlebag space(basically useless if you use the free app to manage your retainers and your own inventories). It’s free version is not worthwhile outside getting the Tomestone emote in-game and the paid version is a waste of money. Please allow some of the aforementioned actions for Kupo Nuts, then this would be well worthwhile
Ok App. Expensive for what it is. Needs more functionality.
The app is graphically beautiful. It is somewhat stark without any background music. It should have the Final Fantasy there playing in the background. The free version only allowing 2 Kupo nuts per day to list an item for sale is overly limiting. We should be able to list at least 5 items in the free version. The paid version should be unlimited putting up of items. We should also be able to send our Squadrons on missions, train them, and send retainers on ventures, and tend gardens in the app. Would be nice to be able to work on the apartment and house/yard as well.
Pros: - Simply downloading the app gives all my characters another Favored destination in game. That’s nice. - I like knowing how the market is so I can plan what to make/sell when away from my comp. Wishes & Improvements: - I wish we could change our character in app like in lodestone. That way I could chat with friends of my other character’s on another server. - I’d like to see what’s in my glamor dresser. That way I won’t buy something I already have. - additional resources like crafting / gathering log or dungeon information with possible drops would be great. - I don’t see a way to sell items in my armory chest on the market via a retainer and would like to be able to sell from there. - I’d like to be able to manage retainer ventures and squad missions from the app. Right now, I don’t have too much reason to go into the app on a regular basis unless I’m stalking something on the market board. I’d like to see more features added to the app.
Really disappointed with this app. Main issue being the micro transactions. We already bought the game and pay a monthly subscription. Most of us buy optional items in the MogStation from time to time, too. Now we have to pay money for every single item that we want to buy and sell remotely? Every. Single. One. There are similar games out there with companion apps that are completely free for the same functions. That being said, I would have even been happy to pay a one-time fee for downloading the app, because the market board and inventory features are ones that I would love to use, and would use often. But charging for every single transaction is ludicrous. I will not be participating in this cash grab.
This app has potential it having to pay again after having to pay to play the game is just ridiculous. To me they just want more money when if you already are subscribed to the game it should be a free addition. Making your subscribers pay more to get a nice quality of life is just greedy. The world is already greedy enough and to have one of my favorite video game companies ask for more money from me is just crazy. Why do I need to pay a kupo nuts to use the market, that’s just crazy when I already pay you for my subscription and I pay extra for my other 2 retainers. Please take the cash grab away from paying subscribers.
This app is useless. All you can really do is reorganize your inventory with it when you aren’t logged into the game. Even the chat feature only works with other people using the app; you can’t communicate with anyone inside the game. Anything having to do with retainers, like listing items for sale or changing prices is limited to one per day, two if you pay the extra subscription fee, which is insanity. A while back they took everyone’s feedback of this, and “fixed” it by allowing you to pay real money per change you make. The subscription does nothing, and charging real money to adjust the price of a market board item is even more insane than only allowing it to be done once a day. You can’t even use it to conveniently check the market board or organize retainer inventory while your character is away from a town, because you can’t log into the app while logged into the game itself. The app would be great if they’d just stop being *** holes and allow unlimited access with the subscription.
A great idea, being able to chat and deal with the markets while you’re offline. I don’t mind the fact you need a sub for it to work, the game itself doesn’t work without a sub so that was expected... But the kupo nuts? We shouldn’t have to pay anything or do anything to put things up. If I have a lot to sell and I can’t be at my comp, what’s the point? Truly the only purpose to this is just to talk to friends, the market stuff is basically a waste of time because of missed opportunity to get more people to use it when away.
You finally added stacking, good on you but... it’s better if it stacked automatically... as now i have to transfer items in then manually find them to stack them, but its what ever as it took two years to implement this function. Now can you add the ability to vendor off items from the “Sell” tab? Since i have to now keep swapping back between Sell and Inventory just to sell something....? I’ve been nagging for stacking for the past few years, i wonder how long this would take.
Desperately wanted this app since heavensward. Now that I have it, it’s nice but, there is no viewing other characters, classes/jobs, or checking gear on your characters like the World of Warcraft app. I assume they have the hardest parts done like the market board and buying/selling and inventory. The other stuff should come sooner or later because it should be easy. I mean, other people have apps that view gear and levels and stuff but I will not trust them with my information.
For a mobile app connected to a subscription based game to not only charge you micro transactions but (eventually) also an additional premium subscription is ludicrous. For how much I would have adored a proper mobile app with game-connected chat, proper item organization, and not charging me even more for the features most clamored for by fans. It is downright disgusting for a subscription based game to utilize practices designed for a free to play system. I can only hope that SE will work to improve upon this down the road and strive to be more customer friendly. I’m running out of reasons to brag to my friends about this game, and I miss being able to.
I had hoped they would come out with something like this for years. This is what they come out with. My friends and family play this game. literally been hoping they would come out with an app that has most of the features that this app does. The app itself is not terrible, but not great, however, the real Clencher is you can’t use it without blowing a stupid amount of money. One nut or one coin mean one venture. Five coins are a dollar. So if you’re someone who has bothered to invest in having say a total of nine retainers. Let’s just assume that you resend them all of 10 times in a day. 90 coins or nuts. $10 just for that in one day
This app is actually very well designed and gives you an impressive amount of control over your current in-game inventories and character profile as well as real time market eewboard listings, prices and sales history all for free within a daily limit. To do more you have a to pay a subscription. It’s totally reasonable for what you get in return too, but...people are dumb so they just get triggered and rate it 1 star.
Come on. This really is way too little for the free. I already pay every month for the sub to the actual game and now I can't even use an app for a bit more convenience. It's already a lot to play this game when you must buy the base game and the DLC's for a full priced $50+ and pay for a monthly sub. Can't all my month get me a little more on this app? Like actual use of the market boards and my inventory. This is really just a "let me look at my character and whats for sale on the market boards" app. It's no companion to make my game go outside of the game world. I'm still stuck doing everything in game because it all costs a monthly sub to access!! 1 star.
I was hoping to use the App to talk to my free company on the go. It does not deliver. I was hoping this app would let me work with my retainers, but i need to spend money for that. I was hoping to use this app to make purchases or change prices on the go, but I can only buy OR sell a single item per day, unless I spend money. This app is designed to make money, unlike the Libra Eorzea, which was an incredibly helpful tool for the people who pay money to play FFXIV. Its shameful to launch a tool with such limited features, and expect people to pay for the incredibly limited services it provides. I spent my one free token to buy a stack of logs, and it was clunky, slow, and an absolute waste of time.
I didn’t expect the app to be super amazing or have wicked features, I sorta just expected to have things that made things easier: maintaining what you sell on the market board being the primary one. But the micro transactions are what really bug me... We already pay $15 a month the play the game alone, along with like $60 if you want the game and it’s expansions. I feel like it’s just kinda stupid to make me pay real money to put stuff up on the market board, and/or when I want to buy something from the market board. It would be easier to just quickly log in and do that stuff.
A lot of folks seem to think that this app is useless, especially without a subscription for it, but I disagree. It allows you to reference your character(s), their class/job levels, inventory, and retainer sales. Even if you don’t use it to actively sell things, you can still check to see if what you put up in-game has sold or not, as well as use kupo nuts to update selling prices. It’s great when playing the market. It isn’t perfect, but I still recommend it for everyone.
This app would have been great if not for a few big issues. The chat does not allow you to talk to in game friends and your FC, only to people with the app. This feature is useless because most people are on other better equipped apps such as discord. Selling and buying items is heavily monetized in both Gil and RL money. Other features such as moving Items to your Chocobo are behind a paywall. For a game that does most things right, the companion app does most things wrong.
I like that I can move my items around easily, sell items I don’t want to put on the market, and buy items whenever I need to. But on the other hand the app feels pretty sluggish at times when it’s communicating with the server and stuff. It would be really nice if we could get notifications for when something we are selling on the market board sells. Overall I think it’s solid, just needs some quality of life improvements.
This app adds nearly nothing useful except as a barebones chat app that is better served by apps like Discord. You get extremely limited functionality in exchange for premium currencies which are used to buy or sell items and limited venture management. Nothing that is urgently needed to do on the run really. I was hoping that you could at least send your retainers on quick ventures so they can continue finding items even while at work, but sadly not even that can be done. Don’t waste your time and especially not your money on this useless piece of garbage.
Giving it 3 stars because the concept is good but as predicted it’s buggy and the option to pay seems excessive when all one really needs to do is login to the game. I got the sense most users wanted the chat feature, which is great in other non-NA/EU communities where Discord is not widely used. Not sure why reviewers seemed surprised it’s “in App” chat only. It’s definitely an app for a niche group of people willing to spend money to manage in game commodity and for perhaps other community users or very small groups of people who don’t use Discord.
I’ve been using the free version of this app since Feb and I’ve enjoyed the fact that I can watch over my market board and chat with friends. I do wish I could move things around in my storage a bit more but it’s still ok. I upgraded this month just to have the free teleport in Shadowbringers without realizing I’d get the extra saddlebag and retainer so that was a fun discovery.
A landscape mode would be great for this. Granted there isn’t a whole lot you can do with the app at the moment, at least adding a landscape mode would allow you to functionally use the app while it’s docked with a keyboard or being used with a kickstand case. Additionally, I would recommend adding support for pointer devices, specifically, I would allow “clicks,” as well as “taps” to be used to manipulate fields within the app.
While the User Interface in this app is nice I find that the features of this app are lack luster. Particularly I do not enjoy the feature of the Kuponuts/Mogcoins. While i understand they want to protect the markets by not allowing people to buy and sell all day from their phone, I feel the people that would do that likely already do when they are logged in. It feels like a feature that doesn’t protect the players but an attempt to collect additional revenue. I also wish I could send my retainers out on Ventures from this app. I don’t feel a need to use this app over actually logging into FFXIV.
Would be nice if we could pay our subscription fee with ffxiv companion apps. Instead of going into websites! Where many people got phished while using the website. Ffxiv could implement vpn and anti-virus. Not only a subscription purchases for FFXIV instead of going to website that is less security than the ffxiv companion apps!
First, the idea behind the app is great! But beware the greed hidden behind this app. First in order for this app to be truly useful you have to pay $5 extra a month to be able to sell on the market. That’s on top of you already buying the game plus a subscription PLUS extra for retainers. But you actually can’t list items on the market without paying a digital currency (kupo nuts) for EACH listing. All of the features should come standard with an existing sub or at least after paying the extra 5. This kind of greed should carry capital punishment. Will not renew the extra 5 for this trash.
I had no hope for this app. SE has probably been asking a 120 year old Japanese man to direct their every move when it comes to online integration. Just FF14 alone I’ve lost four accounts due to their “security” beliefs. I’m safer giving out my password on X/Twitter than to trust their security to not lock me out. So I’m not at all surprised when logging into this app is broken and a waste of time. The Japanese are great with art and stories. But SE, Sony, Nintendo and so on are the absolute worst in handling this new technology called the “internet”
Unlike the complaint oriented reviews, I can say that this app is helpful in a limited capacity. I use this app to keep an eye on my retainer’s gil balances as well as double check my items. There is literally no need for a remote sale and transfer system or a special chat for the app. Most players have discords to communicate off-game and if you are going to be online 3+ times a week then what need is there gor remote functions?
To be honest, I wanted to love this. It’s handy that you can buy and sell items in the go. HOWEVER you can only get 1 kupo nut per day as a login bonus. These kupo nuts are the only way you can sell items. You can only hold 2 at a time. Honestly it seems like a money grab and I don’t like it. If the feature was open and free, I would call this a “companion” app, but until then it kinda feels like a way for Square to squeeze more money out of us. I don’t use calendar features or chat or anything fancy. This is a personal pet peeve and more of a suggestion, but it’s be nice if the characters moved on screen instead of just a freeze frame, so we can view armors and weapons, etc. Honestly this whole app just needs an aesthetic and functional revisit.
Another cash grab by SE. I guess paying full price for a game and then a monthly subscription fee and having a cash shop isn’t enough. They then gotta have this app that could have been super useful and a great addition except it costs artificial currency just to use its major function (to adjust items in your inventories and sell/adjust market items) Chatting is only done with people who are using the app. I expected to be able to chat with my linkshell or free company from my phone. Similar apps on other mmos are free. SE has been nothing but cash grabby and greedy recently and this is no different. Everyone seems to have a lot of trust in SE to do things right ever since 1.0 got remade but time and time again they prove that those days are in the past. Many will say those complaining are “entitled” and many will see when they are being nickle and dimed at every opportunity. Which side are you on?
Hello possible new FFXIV player, this app does not work, and Square-Enix is not going to try and fix it, not are they going to tell you it’s broken, they will however tell you that the problem is primarily you. Here’s my issue with the application, I came back to FFXIV as of a couple days, remembering that there was a section of the application where I could control my retainer’s, I went into the retainer venture section, but I kept being told to go to my home server, except, I never moved from my home server, my character is still in the same server they were created in, so I logged out deleted everything and came back in, still the same problem. I don’t think Square knows how to fix this, just use third party applications, because outside of the main game, every other application is not going to work and Square-Enix doesn’t care.
