Summary

  • Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will have microtransactions allowing players to skip tasks by paying real money.
  • The mobile version will not have gacha mechanics but will feature optional microtransactions for upgrades and cosmetics.
  • Concerns have been raised about potential costs adding up.

Fans are gaining a deeper understanding of the mobile version of “Final Fantasy 14”, and recent leaks suggest that the game will offer an option for players to bypass certain time-consuming tasks within the game by spending real money, in addition to the expense of dyeing gear. The inclusion of microtransactions in “Final Fantasy 14 Mobile” has raised concerns among fans of the original game who are eagerly awaiting its mobile release.

Final Fantasy 14 Mobile aims to adapt the popular MMORPG for mobile devices and will be available without charge. Unlike many mobile games, it won’t rely on gacha mechanics but instead offers microtransactions as an alternative. As of now, it is scheduled for launch in China in June, though a release date for other territories has yet to be disclosed. Details regarding its gameplay are gradually emerging.

Recently, details have emerged from a source known as Umadori concerning the game’s microtransactions, revealing that players can expedite time-consuming, repetitive tasks. The leak suggests that players can enhance their Extreme weapons to their glowing versions using a currency called “wind currents” obtained through microtransactions. Additionally, players will reportedly have the option to bypass their job quests for a fee. Lastly, cosmetic dyes for equipment in Final Fantasy 14 will be available as microtransactions, with normal dyes priced at approximately $0.42 USD and rare dyes costing around $1.40 USD, while some dyes will remain free. At present, the price of wind currents is said to be 60 yen, equivalent to about $0.42 USD.

Final Fantasy 14 Mobile Microtransactions Concern Fans, But Aren’t Unexpected

Some gamers have voiced apprehension regarding the microtransactions, fearing they might represent only the beginning of more expenses. On the contrary, others argue that some of these prices are unexpectedly affordable. Nevertheless, it’s not hard to imagine accumulating substantial costs in such cases. With a total of 22 jobs in both Final Fantasy 14 and Final Fantasy 14 Mobile, and equipment in these games having 16 dye channels, it’s clear how a player keen on bypassing much of the content and having completely personalized gear might find themselves spending a considerable amount of money.

To put it simply, just like the original MMORPG, Final Fantasy 14 offers optional microtransactions as well. These include buying glamour gear from the Mog Station, as well as skipping expansions or leveling jobs with money. The prices for these microtransactions can reach up to $25 USD. For instance, a single dye costs around $1 in the Mog Station, but if you buy ten, it’s $7.50. While the cost of skipping job quests on Final Fantasy 14 Mobile hasn’t been revealed yet, the prices for dyes are either similar or cheaper, depending on your preferred dye color.

Given that Final Fantasy 14 Mobile is currently undergoing testing and these details may be leaks, it’s important to note that everything could potentially change. Here’s hoping the microtransactions in Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will not prove too intrusive for players.
