Mobile FFXIV APP to Allow for Off-Game FC Chat!

[Kage]

 

Apparently there are discussions about making a new mobile app for this.

 

PLEASE INCLUDE LINKSHELLS?

The news originally came from the podcast "From Eorzea With Love"(in Japanese) where Yoshida-P was interviewed. The above link summarizes the news and translates as follow:

 

•New FFXIV App in the making

 

 

•Will allow to chat with FC members(among others)

 

 

•Planned to be released around Heavensward.

 

 

Sounds good It was a very small announcement near the end of the podcast, so no details revealed yet.

 

LINKSHELLS ARE OTHERS RIGHT???

[Erik Mynhier]

That's really cool. And yes... what Kage said... LS or bust.

[Desu Nee]

LS pls.

 

 

PLS.

Rift had guild/friend chat on their mobile app, it's totally awesome!

If this is similar to that, as it sounds, people should love this.

[Berrod Armstrong]

Welp, there goes what little social life I had left.

Along with anything slightly -resembling- productivity.

[Maril]

Yes please. Rift had this and though it was a bit buggy it was awezome to be able to chat from anywhere :-D  hopefully it will be both apple and android friendly.

[Kage]

I have wanted this feature ever since I started.

 

Yes not everyone has a smartphone but at least you don't have to add 300+ people to different channels (like Skype or Google Hangouts).

[Warren Castille]

Would be neat. I never downloaded the Libra Eorzea app but if they manage to mimic what WoW's Armory app does, that'll be very interesting to me.

 

In before (inb4, as the cool kids say) this is JP onry for launch window and trickles to NA/EU months later.

I hate you.

[Desu Nee]

Is it sad that I wouldn't be surprised at all?

[Shayrei]

Awesome. I certainly enjoyed  WoW's version of the app. Looking forward to it!

[Cliodhna Eoghan]

this is great! where i'd love to have the option for them to later on include linkshells...i fear erik would have to resort to drastic measures to get me away and do stuff afk....

[Telluride]

Wrap it up.

 

I'll take it.

[Chris Ganale]

Aaaaaaaaaand there goes my work productivity...

 

 

Actually, come to think of it, I'll probably be alright. My folks don't start showing up until around noon-ish.

[C'kayah Polaali]

If FF uses something like XMPP for chat, it would be trivial for them to make a mobile chat client that included FC, linkshells, and friends list PM support.

 

Now I'm kind of curious to run Fiddler with FF and see... It would be interesting if we could chat via a standard chat client...

[Steel Wolf]

I'm almost positive I'd be staring at my phone for inordinate amounts of time if this comes to pass in the States.

 

(I assume that, as almost everything else related to this game, the neater out-of-game stuff is Japanese only unless confirmed otherwise.)

[Tiergan]

[Faye]

This would be amazing! There's some site/app that already allows you to talk in chat channels on your phone, but it's a paid feature and requires you to be logged in game on your computer. =/

[K'nahli]

This sounds really cool @@

[Verranicus]

Excited for this.
