FINAL FANTASY XIV Companion

Completely worthless app… there is no point to this app other than trying to trick you into paying into another subscription. It offers nothing of value except a second chocobo bag locked behind a pay wall. This is a very disappointing companion app for such a major MMO. It’s as if SquareEnix just wanted to put something out there to say they have a companion app, but had no idea what to do with it. Maybe one day we will see a revamp into something actually useful, but until then, just avoid this app.

It tells me my password and or ID is incorrect yet I can log into it from the website.

I was very excited to see the app had added a widget, and then very disappointed to see the only option was for tracking tomestones. How about, IDK, something for tracking timers and allowances? Online friends? Heck, you could make a widget that did nothing but show the weekly Cacpot numbers and whether I had tickets to redeem, and I would still use it more than tomestone tracking.

With the subscription of an extra $5 a month, you’d think more would come with the app. Buying and selling isn’t exactly worth it imo. Please add the ability to see glamour plates and maybe edit them. The ability to equip gear would be nice too. But I terms of value, it’s certainly lacking with the price paid.

This app has potential it having to pay again after having to pay to play the game is just ridiculous. To me they just want more money when if you already are subscribed to the game it should be a free addition. Making your subscribers pay more to get a nice quality of life is just greedy. The world is already greedy enough and to have one of my favorite video game companies ask for more money from me is just crazy. Why do I need to pay a kupo nuts to use the market, that’s just crazy when I already pay you for my subscription and I pay extra for my other 2 retainers. Please take the cash grab away from paying subscribers.

The premium version should just be the free one for people to use , you would better of be paying 2 extra retainers , the premium version could have introduced so much more other function instead , such a wasted opportunity.

Most of the premium services are supposed to be offered for free. The features it offers complement the game very well, it’s just unfortunate SE insists on locking them behind a paywall. In my opinion, everything available today as premium (excluding the in-game bonuses) should be available for everyone for as part of the game base subscription, and the truly paid* “premium” features should offer users things way beyond everything that’s already available today + the current in-game bonuses (such as +1 retainer and +1 favorite destination, etc.) only when the game’s time expires then it’d make sense for the app to be this limited. As it is now, it’s extremely limited and barely worth the download. The alternatives offer more and better, which renders the app more or less pointless; especially when most users are already paying a subscription to play the game.

I hate to be critical, but this app does not live up to the standards of the game that so many of us love so much. The very limited functionality is not worth the asking price.

Struggling to understand why this app exists. You can’t do anything that is remotely useful. I thought it would at least let me send my retainers on venture or see how much time is left. It blows my mind there is a paid subscription service for this app.

The help button leads to premium subscription page intstead of other help pages and it says I have no character on it and I wouldn’t even be surprised if it’s behind a subscription.👎🏻 I can see why everyone hates these apps.
