DJKYTTOF74: - Want those cool wings ?

- Yes Square Enix

- 255.75 dollars

- No Square Enix

WaterLockser: Sorry, but Yoshi-P is not on the FF14 main communities' side this time around. The Devs of the mobile version wanted their hairstyle ideas to come to the main game, and he said no. When a mobile version of the game gets better cosmetics than the original game, then it's no wonder the player base is getting fed up

Bueno_Y: There's also that super cool looking hoverboard that mobile got with unique animations and then there's that lame one we got with Cosmic Exploration

alan_martinez2247: To be clear one part of the problem lies in the engine, but at this point SE and Yoshi's team should have made changes a long time ago; that can no longer be a valid excuse.

thomasderosso5625: SE: "If we lock the goodies up in mobile, PC players will pay for two accounts!"

me: [unsubs from PC and walks away]

heickelrrx: So when will FFXIV Drop PS4 support so we can have these fancy stuff without limited with PS4 limitation?

idleeidolon: The need better database engineers that could handle transfering all the player and progress data from the current engine to the new one. That said, they don't have any. Given that housing bullshit bugs always happens. Remember the first time housing went up in Ishgard and there were errors involving zero being counted during the random lottery? They need a new engine bad. But I doubt they can even make the move to one.

NotExactlySans: They can be offering a toilet made of solid gold for all I care, it's still mobile and I want no part of it.

NeocrimsonX: I NEED that penguin mount more than I need air brother.

akridx5712: SQEX's step-to-step guide to pissing off a games community:

Step 1.) Refuse to listen to fans' requests for better quality of life and basic features.

Step 2.) Blame it on spaghetti code even tho game is a decade old and could've been fixed.

Step 3.) Release a different version of the same game with all of the quality of life features that players have been asking for, but make it exclusive for a different region.

Step 4.) Still refuse to add features in the main game. No matter how hard they beg. Even tho is possible now.

Step 5.) Profit. (SQEX: "Why are people leaving the game?

stargazerblue186: Remeber these are all micro transactions and if it shows we want it than main game will get plauged by more and more micro transactions.

Larosamay91: I play mobile on the Chinese servers and haven't spent a dime and it's super fun, I enjoy the combat alot more.

pedrogomes693: To be fair, the game would look stupid if everyone was running around with giant glowy wings, cheap MMOs have that stuff.

aoijeka: If what riled the community is the hairstyles that they're going to mod anyway and not the tech debt that plagued the game since day 1 (of 1.0!) then I'd say it's on the community as well. Least half of it. I'd rather have the game to be able to show infinity amount of chars displayed on screen without chugging FPS than another wing and emotes and more fetish-enabling outfits. The game's aethestic is raped enough to add more stuffs that only pander to hundred samey "I'm so unique" players that spend their time hanging out in the same spot 24/7. Then again, if these players ARE the source of money and budget for dev then jokes on me, maybe I should have just left the game when Zero tipped her hat for the thousandth time some patches ago.

PrincessofKeys: Just remember it's not square working on the mobile version but it would be nice to take a few things from it and implement it into the retail game

Blueday-47: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Red_Fr0st: Compare FFXIV mobile hoverboard, with cosmic exploration hoverboard XD

shadowthephoenix1: While the engine and code base absolutely do hold ff14 back, a lot of improvements from mobile, such as better cosmetics, could easily come over to the main game. While 14 absolutely needs to be rebuilt and get off SE's god awful in house engine, a big reason for 14 being as bad as it is 100% lies with SE and the devs, Yoshi P is not on the side of the community and has not been for years. Graphics are just about the least of the games problems right now.

Instead of making 14 mobile, something that 90% of the community does not care about, they could have been working on ways to improve 14, maybe even start creating a migration plan to get the game on UE5 or something, but mobile games are super hot and profitable right now so of course they would ignore their core audience yet again.

Between this and the new Dissidia mobile game it should be obvious to everyone that SE is in their "just give us your money" phase. They dont care about making the products people actually want because that requires money and effort, SE's mobile slop endeavors do not deserve anyones support.

edtazrael: This game is dying and maybe it's a good thing.

Orian-b3d: Ain't that the truth

rodimus580: Yeah at this point they’re just emoting on us .

bluezhift: personally, i don't care about the mobile game. but this i can be sure of, anything that makes more money will come to the desktop cash shop. so these hairstyles will be coming. look forward to it!

SmithyJones: Reason why mobile version is getting the stuff the cool kids want is to entice people into playing on the Mobile Version.

Everybody knows SE just wants a piece of that Chinese Mobile Gamer Market.
