Don't say that. That makes my heart hurt

[@GuardianLamb]

what makes u say that?

[@abysskun9518]

@@GuardianLamb the fact that the mobile version is being handled by a different studio and being made from the ground up. There is no real reason for it to keep the forced 500ms of animation lock after using a skill, which is what some mods like xivalexander fix allowing people to double weave in high latency. Ultimately it's more of a joke/hope that the new version will fix the problems with the original game

[@bolladragon]

I know it's mostly a joke but the speed shown in this preview really does make it look like it isn't a joke at all

[@Trollvano]

@bolladragon it was, but yeah it actually looks really clean. I'm actually really excited for it... Except having to go to the waking sands 400,000 times

[@Kiyosuki]

I don't know still if I'll try the mobile version, but I'm still paying attention because I have a theory that they're using this to test out ideas in how to revamp the standard FFXIV's jobs and combat system which they said they plan to do in 8.0. The fact many of these jobs are using abilities that didn't exist when ARR originally came out, or completely new abilities to begin with and a new input system suggests to me at least that they're acknowledging that many of the current jobs are too gutted at earlier levels.

[@artaiusazure4794]

I pray you're right mate. But I'm actually upset that some of these new animations look better than what we've got in the retail version.

[@kyotanaka920]

​@@artaiusazure4794well kinda hard to port over actual FF14 assets onto a tiny ass phone, it'd make sense for them to build it up from the ground

[@naoremonth]

It is worth keeping in mind that this is a different team entirely in charge of the mobile version. While it is possible that the main FFXIV dev team has worked with them and/or will take notes in regards to the things done here, it's likely that a lot of these decisions were made by that other team alone.

[@Volfur2251]

some how i don't think this will be the case, while i know 8.0 is the revamp of job identity the mobile version just doesn't have the limitations that the main retail game does

for those who asking, there is still positional ring around enemy, so basically you still can move around but in this they just want to show how spell/skill work

[@NajaSide]

It's wild how many assumptions people are making about the shortest of clips. It's literally just like any other job skill trailer that they show off before an expansion release, where they're not playing at all like actual gameplay. The original trailer was even just like a basic benchmark trailer, like beat for beat.

Black Mage having it's entire Enochian set up with a third of the buttons is literally a dream come true.

[@kmeanxneth]

@@NajaSide no

[@kaydayumi]

@@NajaSide They never have aoes show up on those trailers though, it's usually just enemies acting as dummies. It felt really cheap that they didn't remove the aoes on this one and still made the characters not move. I admit I found it a bit triggering :X

@@NajaSideusually the mob just stand there like target dummy but some do use AoE attack although they just take it (for damage reduction showcase i guess) One exception I can think of is Dawntrail BLM where they use Aetherial Manip to showcase the leyline redraw

Maybe Your PC is just bad because even the console version is still better than this by night and day.

​@@tenjenk If you wanna talk about rigid and blocky animations in FFXIV, Royal Authority is right there. Also, I was being hyperbolic, yeah. It's a KZbin comment, have a little fun with it. That all being said, I think MNK has some better looking animations then base game, along with PLD, SMN and DRG. There is an issue with snapping into place, however.

[@KwehShiro]

snapping into place? is it your first skill job trailer? they always never move as they are only showing the different skill, the only moment they ever move is when necessary. i did see scholar having the sprint lvl 90 skill icon though so odd they didnt showcase it. ​@@storm99_ i agree some skill looks better in this mobile version than base game, that drg one that gets a line of blue spike from the ground is cool, dont remember it being in the pc on pvp (which is where class usualy get new looking stuff)

Or make it look like High Jump, but no hitting animation. Also, same for DRK's damaging gap closing attack changed into a dash. This one also looks bad, and should be changed.

So some changes that they made for SCH and WHM are kinda funny. Sch's Recitation gave 1 aetherflow stack, and the recit effect doesnt have any timer until it used (and casting Indom still cost 1 aetherflow instead of making it free). The Aetherflow button beside giving you 3 aetherflow, it also gave you dissipation-like buff that changes the button into Art of War II BUT RANGED! Every fairy action eats some portion of the fairy gauges also. Rip Sacred Soil Whm's Red lilies (Afflatus Misery) has different timer than the Blue lilies (Afflatus Rapture), Misery will be an extra dps button rather than eating 3 lilies. But in the Video Lamimi uses Rapture but the blue lily doesnt get eaten, so maybe its some new freecure? lol Holy loses its Stun effect seems :o Rip Asylum

[@IAmTheGlovenor]

Who knows, but with how much they charge for mounts that are easily 3 times the sub price, main FF14 alone can keep this alive forever. It might get people to invest in a PC or console to play the real thing

@@IAmTheGlovenor the reason mobile gamers is growing is because First: They only have mobile phone to play games especially people from Asia Second: They don’t have PC or enough money to buy one.

The shorter cooldowns and fewer abilities like that PvP has is what I think the game should be focusing on more generally, so I'm glad to see at least one iteration of it doing that. The 2-minute meta has been a bane on the combat in this game, making any encounter outside of scripted boss battles a complete snooze fest or unsatisfying. You can't use the lv100 kit in any meaningful way in the open world, everything just melts in 1-2 hits and so there is no interaction with your kit, which is already super bloated.

I feel like the animations could need some work, personally, I think some of skills and abilities shown here are a little stiff. I think would be better if they have enough time before release to brush up on the animations to give the illusion that they flow together like how some abilities in the PC/Console client look like they do.

My question is, why even do a mobile version?

[@zedorian6547]

Money

[@NajaSide]

Many people in China and other countries outside the west/north play mobile games more often than on console or desktop. Those that do play on desktop- particularly in China -usually have to use a gaming vpn in order to play with everyone else (being that their version has for a long time lagged behind on the patches and expansions).

To tap the mobile market in sea regions. Also the main game having monthly subs is what's putting a lot of people away from the game.

@@jiedragonhub Monthly subs being a detractor is so true. Were it not for that, I probably would've played any mmos way way sooner.
