FINAL FANTASY XIV Companion

Can’t login into the app!

I think they really missed the mark here. Having a companion app would keep people in tuned with the actual game they are already paying a subscription for, it already benefits them for this just to exist. So why add more micro-transactions and paywalls? I’m already paying to play this game, you want me to pay again? This is the dumbest, greediest, most pathetic money grab I’ve seen in a long time. No I will not pay a second subscription fee, do better.

It is insane that you have to pay to send retainers on ventures, considering I already have to pay for them and a subscription to the game this app should just be a free service.

Many of the one and two star reviews are from YEARS ago, but the criticisms don’t apply to it in its current form. There’s still a paid aspect to it, but it is not necessary to get your milage out of it. AND the base version unlocks a cute adventurer frame and a cute emote for your WoL in the MMO! Apart from that, the app recently received an overhaul in utility that makes it well worth the download.

No in-game chat, and no inventory management without paying.

Simply a bad app for a worse game.

I am not getting my hourly alerts since I upgraded phones from iPhone 13 to iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I know some people are calling it useless but I disagree. I like being able to manage my inventory or send a retainer back out on a venture to bring me more mats when I have to be away from the game. I dont use the chat feature but if I was more social I would adore that as well. I bought some coins and use them when I have to make trips to the city to keep my retainer doing its thing as it brings me mats for crafting raid food. The app is slow and a bit buggy but I also think its probably cause it doesn’t get a ton of use and therefor not a ton of attention from SE. I think this app could be worked on some and made even better!

This app has a lot of potential for what it can do but it is just a cash-grab in disguise. I liked the in-game “discord” aspect of it but also wanted to take advantage of having access to my retainers to send them on ventures with mobile notifications. You can definitely do this… for a price on top of the premium subscription through in-app currency. You cannot even refresh all of your ventures once a day using the currency you receive daily and have to either wait multiple days or pay for currency. Even with all the updates over the years they have still left this cash-grab in the app and it sours the overall experience and usefulness of the app. It is such a big disappointment.

I can't log in. I haven't been able to for months. I'm fed up. Fix your freaking app.
