FFXIV Mobile has just been fully announced, and we have a ton of information on how this new mobile MMO will work. This seems to be a standalone MMORPG version of A Realm Reborn with dungeons, crafting and even the golden saucer. There are still lots of unanswered questions on this, but overall it seems like a great idea for people who have never played FFXIV.
Let me know what you think of FFXIV mobile an if you will be trying it on release.

Are you excited for FFXIV mobile?
Considering the absolute state of the game this comes off like a slap in the face ngl, and to think they cancelled ffxi mobile and moved forward with a story they just got done telling.
You can already play the game on your phone through the PS Remote Play app, I do it all the time.
I think the combat will be greatly simplified, with jobs having a kit sized closer to what we have in PvP. Just a few buttons with basic skills that convey the unique "theme" of each job. I think that's the approach this game will take with pretty much all the features, like story, quests, dungeons, crafting/gathering, gold saucer, etc. It's not something that will try to exactly duplicate the FFXIV main game, or even interact with it. It's like, when they made that other FFVII remake game on mobile.
I would rather play FF14 on mobile than Xbox. I wanted a reason to get off FF14 on Xbox. And dont want to commit to buying a PC just for FF14. This would be right up my alley. Id give it a shot. And I dont even like mobile gaming.
