I use this for fishing tackle and firework storage. The Chocobo Saddlebag is a newer inventory category that added 70 spaces of inventory to the game at no extra charge.

Subscribing to the premium version of the app adds a fifth retainer, or 140 more spaces of inventory. I use this so my inventory is sorted into Tank, DPS, Healer and crafting gear by each retainer. You get two retainers with your base character and for a small extra fee per month you can have up to two more. Each retainer opens up 140 inventory spaces to you. Retainers already existed in the game as NPCs you hire to function as additional storage and sell your odds and ends in the auction house. And that’s before we get to the premium tier of the app, which wants you to pay to do more. Even adjusting a price in the auction house through the app will cost you a Kupo Nut or Mog Coin. So these currencies exist to bait me to pay real money to spend and earn fake money in a game I already pay real money to subscribe to. But when the time comes chimes… notifications… events… where do they come from and where do they go? The companion app won’t make an effort to remind you when your event is about to start. Let’s say you and your friends want to fight Kefka at 9pm EST on a Wednesday. So the FFXIV Companion can’t do for a single account what other apps can do for multiple accounts.Īnd then you have the event planner, which functions just the same as the one you’d find in any bog standard smartphone or tablet these days. You can’t log into another toon with a simple touch of an icon, even if they are all under the same account. What’s more is that unlike apps like Gmail or Twitter, the FFXIV Companion app is locked to the character you selected to associate with it. It’s great that your contacts are organized by Friends List, Free Company and Linkshell and you can chat individually or with groups of friends who have the app activated, but unfortunately it is nothing another app like Discord could do as good or better.

On the social end, features are functional but severely lacking.
