Arthars explores FFXIV: Mobile (Full VoD - Day 1)

[@illuminatenorden5408]

8:26:08 Can we talk about summoning your mount WHILE moving ?

If this ends up making more money than the PC version (which it will) , the PC version is dead...as if SQX would put any effort into the financially less successful PC version when the mobile version performs much better in terms of monetary gains.

[@PareSM]

I’m not going to say the graphics look better, but the fact that they even approach the current PC version is kinda hilarious.

[@dilloncallahan-v5s]

PS3 graphics..

[@sgtass1]

The QOL and animations look a lot more modern too. Check out the part where his character starts running and stops. It has that FF XIV 1.0 / BDO thing where the character has a transition animation and the knees bend and shit. Not a tech dude - Inverse Kinematics I think was the name?

real gamers dont care about graphic, i pick this over any korean mobile mmos

[@Melusia007]

@@sgtass1 IK is a separate tech that lets the character's feet connect with the ground however uneven it can be (has them rest on different steps of stairs, for exemple), and this mobile version doesn't have it as far as I can tell Those are simply separate transition animations, like you said before! That's indeed what they had in 1.0, I'm guessing they just didn't have time to fix that system as it was too awkwardly implemented at the time, and removed it entirely, but I'd love it to come back in a more refined way!!

[@8bitchiptune420]

If would be funny if the mobile version has a better transmog system.

[@walwal6449]

i know this is literally just ffxiv but mobile but i love the fact they didnt make it like every other mmo game mobile adaptations.... no autorun and you cant just cheese fights definitely looking forward to this if they keep it the same way :b

[@Azem4144]

Thank you for the vod!

[@l___Okada-IZŌ___l]

the million dollars question, how's the monetization? Yoshi P said there's nothing to worry about but i still worry because its tencent

[@Nelson6525]

This was actually better than I expected, thanks for posting this arthars

[@dodota2872]

for some reason this feels so amazing to play lol.

[@Hyde_Lawrence]

I was going to ask why the beta is in china but then I saw Tencent at the top 💀

[@stms5001]

If they had better ping than the main version then it would be so ironic

[@finnlauzer7416]

Tencent is a big company, of course they have better server

[@rubylium7041]

It does

[@irategazelle]

This game's UI looks like single player jrpg games. Having a whole page for each functionality is what you'd already expect playing any other FF titles. I personally prefer it over the MMO clutter.

[@Loxly-ti4sq]

Sorry if this was asked before, is the map scale gonna be 1:1 to the PC version? also how are they gonna roll out the contents and story from each expansion, very similar to PC or more condensed version?

[@shandya]

I was questioning about the app filesize when the expansion released too. But I guess it’s not really a concern. I suppose the moment the they got released, mobile phone storages should be bigger than today.

[@SRFAA]

It's good that it seems like a fun experience. I might download it when it launches since I'm waiting for enough content in the main game to come out before I go back (probably 1 or 2 more expansions).

[@GabeHighlander]

omfg him not clicking all the buttons when showing off classes, especially those switching ones

[@seekittycat]

Thank you for sharing your play through la. I don't have time to try it out and I was sad

[@rubylium7041]

Man I want to play the beta now it looks so cool

[@flare9612]

Would be so epic if they release it on PC and everyone just migrate from PC to mobile version ON PC

[@raxidy3350]

I didn't know arthars spoke chinese
