Not, I just don't like the mobile format.

I'll give it a shot but I don't have wild expectations. Really I'm just bummed that they canned FFXI mobile and touted this as a replacement.

Nope, especially not after reading about the predatory monetisation

Not for me. For one, it's a completely different game, even if it wears the same skin, and I prefer what we have right now.

If I was back in China, this may have had more of an appeal where mobile gaming is insanely hot (and I'm pretty sure China was the target audience for this game given the developer they're partnering with), but I just don't see the appeal in being re-sold a game I already own but now with less gameplay and more microtransactions.

Probably not, but only on the principle of I’m trying not to have games on my phone. It does look very interesting, but I feel like it catered to individuals who might never played before.

I'll try it for sure. I always wanted to access the world anywhere.

No way it will replace the main game. The monetization is high but optional so depends how much they punish players without the battlepass.
