Final Fantasy XIV Is Coming To Mobile Devices

As a seasoned Final Fantasy XIV player with countless hours spent traversing the vast landscapes of Eorzea, this news has brought forth a wave of excitement that threatens to topple my digital battle-worn armor! The prospect of delving into the world of FFXIV on my mobile device is tantalizing indeed.


In collaboration with Lightspeed Studios, Square Enix has declared the upcoming mobile version of the massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG), Final Fantasy XIV, titled Final Fantasy XIV Mobile. Initially, the game will debut in China, followed by a global release soon after.

In a fresh trailer, the portable adaptation of the game was introduced, with the goal of transporting the vast realm of Eorzea onto smartphones and tablets. This mobile iteration promises an optimized gaming experience tailored for these devices, while maintaining the core aspects of the initial game.

As stated in a recent press announcement, Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is set to maintain several elements that contributed to the original game’s popularity, such as its storyline, combat system, crafting, gathering, and mini-games. The mobile adaptation will additionally offer relaxed minigames like fishing, Chocobo racing, and the Triple Triad card game.

Naoki Yoshida, the creator behind Final Fantasy XIV, mentioned that the mobile adaptation functions as a “sibling” to the primary game, replicating its narrative and battle systems on portable devices.

11 years ago, Final Fantasy XIV 2.0: A Realm Reborn was unleashed, and now I’m excited to announce that we’re developing a mobile spin-off game! This new title will echo the epic storyline and engaging combat mechanics of the original, all tailored for your mobile devices. As for the non-combat aspects like Disciples of the Land and Hand, they’ll remain true to their roots too. We can’t wait to see how we can grow this game with the dedicated Final Fantasy XIV community!

To deliver an exceptional mobile gaming experience for Final Fantasy XIV, the visuals will be optimized for smaller screens while preserving the intricate art and design that’s synonymous with the original game. Square Enix assures players that the mobile version will boast dynamic weather systems featuring over 600 distinct patterns, with visual adaptations to match the level of detail found in the original FFXIV, encompassing character models as well as environmental designs.
