the most important thing in the case of a port from PC/Console to Mobile is not shown: the HUD / Touchscreen control... I really wonder how it will works with positioning during fight...
I don't like that they are using the name from the main game, and the teaser shows zero gameplay.
- That's because it's a mobile game and it'll be a trash cash grab
I had to check if it wasn't april.

The Steam Deck OLED screen is already barely enough, I can't see how they'll manage on an even smaller screen.
Will current subscription allow you to use this?...

Edit: different game. Will likely be F2P garbage
- I think that's going to be the most important question honestly. Mobile gamers are notoriously averse to high game pricing, so I'm not sure if a separate sub is going to fly for it. Maybe they'll do a gacha style f2p but mtx model?
  
  Wait it's not going to be a straight port from the PC and console?
  
  Edit:
  
  Lightspeed studios is working with tremendous enthusiasm and dedication to faithfully recreate the story, duties, battle content and other aspects of the original game.
  
  It's a different game. Not interested in the slightest
And mine
I have a suspicion it'll be a lot like EvE Online and their EvE Echoes mobile version. The mobile version is significantly watered down in size and functionality, yet is still playable. I think we'll see something similar.

We'll still see the core gameplay, but parts of the game might be removed or retooled. Crafting and gathering will likely be simplified, minions will be gone, jobs will have less abilities, graphics significantly reduced, and so on.

It's doable, but don't expect it to be the same game.
