The wait is finally over! Square Enix and Tencent’s LightSpeed have officially announced Final Fantasy XIV Mobile and the exciting news doesn’t stop there. Playtesting is about to start in China, and fans can look forward to a global release soon. This new mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV will bring all the magic of the original game to your phone, with some familiar and fresh features.
A sister game to Final Fantasy XIV
For those who love Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, this mobile version is designed to be just as epic. Naoki Yoshida, the director and producer of FFXIV, shared that the goal is to recreate the original’s grand story and action-packed combat but make it work smoothly on mobile devices. It’s not just about fighting, though—FFXIV Mobile will also include non-combat features like gathering resources and crafting items. Yoshida hopes to grow the game alongside the passionate FFXIV community.
Embark on an epic adventure
In Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, players will follow a grand story as they answer the call of the Mothercrystal, which shines with the light of hope for the world of Hydaelyn. You’ll take on the role of a hero and confront powerful enemies, including the primals, to save the land of Eorzea from destruction. With challenging battles and an emotional story, you’ll experience moments that will stay with you long after you’ve finished playing.
The mobile version will have controls made just for smartphones, so you can enjoy exciting combat wherever you go. Stunning visuals and effects, including limit breaks (big finishing moves), will make every battle feel special.
Choose your hero and switch jobs easily
One of the coolest features of Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is the freedom to choose from many different races, each with its own unique look and backstory. Plus, you can select from nine different jobs when the game launches, and thanks to the Armoury system, you can change your job with just a tap. This means you can try out different play styles and roles whenever you like, giving you endless possibilities for adventure.
More than just fighting: Fun activities to enjoy
When you’re not battling foes, there’s plenty of fun to be had in Final Fantasy XIV Mobile. Head over to the Gold Saucer, where you can race chocobos or play the Triple Triad card game. You can also design and decorate your own cozy home, enjoy seasonal events, and dress up your character with cool outfits and glamours. The game also features 11 different crafting and gathering classes, so you can relax and take a break from adventuring by fishing, mining, or crafting items. There’s always something to do in Eorzea!
What’s next? Playtesting starts soon
The playtesting for Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will begin soon in China, and Square Enix and Tencent are working hard to bring the game to players around the world. As FFXIV continues to grow, this mobile version is shaping up to be a fun and faithful companion to the original game, which now has over 30 million registered players.
