The app only gives you your menu screen and character display? If that's all it does it was a waste of development time as it doesn't seem to have any in game functions, say like the division or watchdogs had.

It includes a whole database for items, quests and dungeons too.

KrisButtar4338d ago

That's what Strategy books are for. This app should have added something to the game in some way, earn Gil, Xp, potions, bonus quests. Having a Database app is not impressive at all as a lot of database apps have been releasing for other games that do the same thing and would only be a matter of time before one was released for FF14ARR. To be the official FF14ARR app, it should have something a little more.

Abriael4338d ago

@KrisButtar: strategy books are a lot more cumbersome, and don't have hyperliks.

NegativeCreepWA4338d ago

Strategy books aren't the most reliable source for a game that changes regularly.

Man those haircuts are effin crazy.....Sorry I know its off topic but do they take a picture of Dragonball Z with them when they go to the Barber...These are grown men for crying out loud.

MonChiChi4339d ago

Hmm, I say the same for ppl with toupee's on.

AlexanderNevermind4339d ago

no complaints from me on that. I'm lucky enough to have most of my follicles intact. Hope no offense was taken.

@AlexanderNevermind

Ha, non taken. :)

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Stopac13h ago

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac13h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

PapaBop17h ago

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac13h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
