FFXIV Mobile : New Titan Boss Fight Gameplay Trailer! - First Look :)

[@thorn_lekoh]

Of course the dragoon ended up falling off the arena

[@konaDRAW]

it's just tradition at this point xD

[@Hamstergeval]

loldrg is back and stronger than ever.

[@Falce45]

As any good floor tank should

[@yeahnahmate7]

I'll never understand this as a former drg main i never fell off

[@konaDRAW]

@yeahnahmate7 The joke technically goes back to 11 era, but specifically with xiv dragoon, floortank because animation lock was SO bad back in the days, unless you had amazing ping/internet and lived super close to the servers, you almost always got clipped by aoes. Just because animations like jump or elusive locked your starting position, not the ending position.

[@satsuki914]

That actually looks SO much better than what i thought it would look like! Looking forward to it!!

[@youiri65]

so it looks like FFXIV "Classic" but with all the QoL we had all over the years.

[@ponderingForever]

+ Things like a reworked Glamor System and Voice Chat. Very quirky changes going on, curious how it turns out after the closed beta

[@tyverus89]

you may have forgotten Meoni, but they removed, or added a toggle for, the display of quests during FATEs and instanced duties

[@mkgenov3691]

I can hardly imagine how exactly the controls would work. How we can combine, for example, moving and casting at the same time. Rotating the camera aswell.

[@willSolos]

@@mkgenov3691 have you heard of 4 finger claw

[@nighttimestalker]

Also, the 24 player raids are going to be turned into altered 8 man raids for those wondering

[@iceman3317]

It has flying because it is still the same game. This isn't ARR Classic. It just goes up to ARR. Everything else remains the same. That is why flying is in game. And the fate with no skull makes sense, given the Chinese Culture does not like seeing bones. Just like this game is probably going to be a completely different client or server. I doubt we will be able to play with people on phones like we do with people on consoles and pcs ect.

[@rivenoak]

restricted to ARR means "no crossplay with retail" for sure.

[@iceman3317]

@@rivenoak For now. But also because it is only the original classes. And if mechanics and stuff have changed that much, I just can't see it working with the main game. Plus Square Enix isn't even the ones working on it. So I very seriously doubt they will want servers connected to their servers that they do not control.

[@rivenoak]

@@iceman3317 is there even a chinese version of it for retail ? SE might outsource chinese FF14 and just collect royalties

[@0Fyrebrand0]

It's a completely separate game that won't interact with the main FFXIV at all. It seems to be doing a good job at selling the look of the game experience, but I'm sure actually playing it will be much different, stuff will be balanced differently, content formatted differently, etc. For one thing, in the job trailer that came out a while ago they had level 50 characters using abilities that normally you don't get until 70+.

[@Chymai]

This game looks like a strange dream where FFFXIV is a mobile game. It looks really interesting. And obviously really well made. But I’m worried what new aspect this is going to bring. Because, why would I play this mobile game when I can play the actual game? If it’s the same story, same fights and looks the same, why would I play it?

[@Titanius_zos_Aires]

To be fair, this is more being made for the Chinese market than us. But since they're making it, why not sell it to a western audience if there is interest?

[@iceman3317]

Because it isn't being made for us. It is being made for countries that praise MTX and Mobile Gaming. There is no reason to play it unless you just want to play it on mobile. Even then you have to completely start from scratch.

[@kageshigi1012]

Looks great considering it’s mobile.

[@rivenoak]

we need the specs, like which android version etc.

[@Carnyzzle]

Oh god not the landslides

[@LeoWylder]

In terms of spaming the "auto-attack", it might simply be tap and hold and it would do auto attack instead of having to spam it. Other than that they might change it to add being being able that you decide if that button itselfs auto attacks by your own choice. After all, it is still in beta, so many things could change.

[@nifty404]

Low key hyped about everything except the jumping puzzles lol god noooo they’re already a pain as it is in the main game

[@red5robb1]

there are elements of the hard/EX version (5 landslides at once), knockbacks that werent landslide, and of course 8 players instead of 4. seems the story versions are going to be a bit more involved than retail

[@Titanius_zos_Aires]

Meoni, you can see the movement thumbstick areas on the left, right of the chocobo button. Its more visible with dark backgrounds. Its small so I don't think it animates what direction you're pressing cause it would fully be under your left thumb.

[@konnono3209]

The trial looks like they've made all sorts of adjustments to it-I don't remember the boulders around the arena in the beginning of the trial (you can see how it stopped the WHM from falling off the arena in the initial knockback attack) and I'm pretty sure Titan never did a knockback from one side of the arena (he does it all from the middle of the arena, no?). Presumably it's to accommodate any lag or player movement hampered by the mobile controls? I'm curious about the mounts too, they've shown Mr. WAR driving the chocobo carriage mount from the cash shop; I wonder if there'll be a separate cash shop for the mobile game, all microtransactions-like, or if we'll be able to link our SE account and get our purchased mounts in the mobile game too 🤔

[@SuperLionSkywalker]

You have to approach this like its a whole new, different game (because it is) so no, your stuff from the retail game wont carry over the mobile game, they are 2 complitely different entities, ran by two complitely different companies sharing the same IP

[@swapertxking]

The side knock back is pulled from the Titan phase during The Weapon’s Refrain (Ultimate). Or atleast a modification on that. No trying to line up knock back and do Gaols thankfully.

[@alipridegaming1804]

That "present/gift" icon seems like a clear sign of mobile microtransactions.

[@phoenixwulf6010]

@@alipridegaming1804 maybe for extra retainers, extra dressed slots etc.. If nothing affecting power scaling it won't be that bad. Gotta try first tho.. But so far I am hyped, they keep the promise till now. I am waiting for the promise of no paid gacha, no time limited grind and no mandatory / strenuous dailies

[@nighttimestalker]

Mr happy covered the jobs earlier today. It actually looks good.

[@Vithaar1969]

this is so weird lol it might just work

[@Darc1972]

So, this is just ARR Plus so far? I kind of thought it was the normal game just ported to phone.

[@Fairheart99]

yes, it is only ARR at launch and future expansions will be added in future updates. I'm curious on if all expansions will be free

[@celestamor]

​@Fairheart99 if we have to pay for our sub and pay for each expansion realistically it wouldn't be fair if they get them for free

[@iceman3317]

@@Fairheart99 I doubt it. Given the fact Chinese Market praises MTX, you will probably have to rebuy everything.

[@Fairheart99]

@@iceman3317 perhaps, I'm still holding out hope tho. This is WAY behind the full FFXIV and is also behind the free trial. My theory is that the PC/Console free trial will always get an expansion added every time there is a brand new paid expansion, and if mobile is always behind the free trial then those expansions can be free in the mobile version. but yeah, i am very aware of the greed in the mobile market, let's just hope that Yoshi-P can keep them on a tight leash

[@aidosaol7985]

The close beta is start

[@gamerslightforever]

Think of the attack button more like your 123 VS an auto attack.

[@djkatsuo]

Man the social features blows the pc version away. They are so smart because n China, they play only mobile games and this will bring back a ton of players that can’t game on pc anymore due to life or other.

[@ffjason]

Looks good... But I can't help but wonder why it exists. Who is it for?

[@FateAyers]

The majority of world outside of the west.

[@rivenoak]

China is the testing ground

[@l___Okada-IZŌ___l]

for advertising duh

[@iceman3317]

Chinese people love mobile. You need to remember that Mobile gaming is far more accepted and far larger in Asia than it is else where. Just like MTX is a demand by Asia Players. Mobile games are also the leading 'console' in much of the world. People like mobile. It is why so much mobile comes now.

[@BranBal]

Mobile people. People who need to be outside from home for long hours. People who have tablets but don't have console or PC. And whales, ofc

[@cloudzack1090]

4:23 why are you surprised? The game is being released with all current content so, would make sense they would have it here

[@MrRocSolid]

Can I just stay in Limsa and craft? Using my main account? Or do I have to make a new account separately for this thing?

[@llNightRoudll]

this is not related to retail pc at all, is it's own mobile version

[@Arhman1991]

The game is interesting and I would give it a try

[@CapsuleCorpStudios]

No thanks, aint got no time to play 2 Final Fantasy 14's

[@kyomuksn4083]

I'm curious about the movement coz it doesn't look like it has one of those onscreen movement circle pads.

[@ponderingForever]

It sits right above the space of the Chat box (bottom left). Very faint.

[@cordeliacentauri1737]

Watched arthars stream the cbt china version of it and I think maybe it's a good idea for new comers to be introduced to the ff14 world/mmo? For existing players like me, personally I don't see any point or value in this on mobile. I already have ff14 on my steamdeck too so...

[@franksta21]

The rock animations that appear after titian punches the ground look cool compared to the column of light in the base game.

[@hkoizumi3134]

This is basically an ARR made from ground up. There's no snapshot, characters has extra animations, auto attacks for casters, VOIP, and so on. Imagine if this becomes successful. Maybe PC and console version will get the updated FF14 from mobile QoL.

[@johnpike2573]

i think they are uploading the official videos on bilibili instead of youtube

[@UNBIASEDGLOBALNEWS]

I am very excited for this!! I wanted to play ffxiv on my phone for so damn long and now.... i can play this and create my awesome character for this version also. I dont know about you guys, but as soon as this launches in America, i will be playing day one and i will be playing for HOURS per day just to rush to end game. My favorite thing is to max level every single class for my character and farming crafts to farm gil on the marketplace. I bet retainers will be a microtransactions, just like the main game. Im fine with that too, so long as they allow us to color our outfits with metallic blue and silver, im set. Whm main here.... and i cant wait to play with you guys!!

[@RandomGhostDragon]

DID THE WHITE MAGE HAS AERO 3!?

[@TheLMBLucas]

Ok but... how is crafting going to be like? 👀 We know there is no way it can be the same as what we have now

[@BazzFreeman]

Do you guys not have phones?

[@tyverus89]

all those sprouts...

[@Ac3c0dez]

Doesnt seem like either tank had on a stance

[@northslate4850]

world first uwu clear on mobile when???

[@ocpd33frea]

Savage run when??

[@totomqwerty123]

No skull coz Chinese censorship

[@Infinitenull]

Nice graphic glitch @1:17

[@notsobright7482]

We lost FF11 remake for this its so over....

[@nighttimestalker]

That was a completely different team that was working on that.

[@ajsario6804]

It's 😂 nexon for that

[@yeahnahmate7]

11 is trash

[@iceman3317]

First off. Very few people play FF11. What would be the point of remaking it? Second, Square Enix are not the ones working on it. They are overlooking it but that is all. We didn't lose anything because it isn't by Square.

[@nelieltu9730]

I really hate how the enemies don't stagger at all or at least flinch a little. It looks worse on the mobile than it does vs the mmo.

[@nighttimestalker]

You mean a mobile game has cuts compared to its full fledged version that can even bring a 3080 based system to its knees at times? Who could've seen that coming lol

[@KuyaHyuuga]

Was that not ex? The knockback and 5 landslides are in ex. If that's normal for mobile, they better change the main game 😤

[@ponderingForever]

It was "Normal", but these are 8-man now

[@yeahnahmate7]

Yeah no

[@SuikodenGR]

What?? No stamina bar? It's already trash 😂🙃🙃

[@Pikaru-c4u]

I just feel like this is a waste of time. Why does there need to be a mobile version. Square is milking ff14 and think they can use the ff14 name to get people to play a gotcha game. Why are you not talking about that?

[@iceman3317]

Square Enix is not milking it. The Chinese wanted it. And it isn't Square Enix that is doing mobile. Yes they are overlooking it, but they are not the ones in working on it. People seem to forget that mobile gaming is vastly more popular than console gaming in China and other Asian countries. And Gotcha games are a demand in Asia, they love it MTX there.

[@ecchidragon8038]

@@iceman3317 ...And they've already said that there's not going to be any gacha - I have to smh at people still spouting that squeenix is diverting assets to the mobile game that could've been used on the PC game (they aren't), or that it's a gacha-fest (Yoshi-P _and_ the chinese developers both said that it *won't* be). All the information is available online, but some people refuse to look it up; content in their ignorance and seeming to _want_ to be mad about anything having to do with this. 🤨

[@herebejamz]

So far, at least Yoshi P has said no gacha. As for resources, it's a separate dev studio outside SE. As for why, there is a large portion of the global population that only game on mobile devices. China, Southeast Asia, South and Central America, parts of Eastern Europe, and a whole slew of people in the west who don't like consoles and PC.

[@ponderingForever]

Different company entirely.

[@Zakjuh]

literally who cares? it's not developed like by square but by a tencent division. if this is not to your liking, you just ignore it
