Square Enix has announced that the Companion App for Final Fantasy XIV will launch in ‘late July,' with both free and premium subscription levels for Android and iOS. While the app will bring added functionality and game management for Final Fantasy XIV fans, its premium subscription brings an added cost to an already expensive game.
The FFXIV Companion App will allow users to connect your in-game characters to your smartphone or tablet, enabling users to chat with friends on different servers to make it easier to join up for raids or PvP events.
Other features include:
- Organize your inventory and armory on the move
- Earn Kupo nuts for daily app logins
- Pay a Moogle with Kupo nuts or Mog coins (bought with real money) to buy or sell an item for you on the Market board
- Unlock retainer inventory management and in-game rewards with a premium subscription ($5 monthly)
As mentioned, the premium subscription unlocks an additional retainer while the size of the Chocobo saddlebag is doubled. Hard-core fans may be happy to pay another $5 each month for premium, but regular fans may well balk at the prospect. If you are a Final Fantasy XIV player, what do you think about the Companion App set to launch for Android and iOS in late July?
