Final Fantasy XIV is officially going mobile, bringing years of content to your fingertips! Developed by Tencent's Lightspeed Studios in collaboration with Square Enix, the mobile version lets you explore Eorzea anytime, anywhere.
The announcement ends months of speculation. This mobile iteration follows Final Fantasy XIV's remarkable journey from a troubled 2012 launch to its current success as a cornerstone of Square Enix's portfolio. The original game faced harsh criticism, leading to a complete overhaul with "A Realm Reborn."
Set in the beloved world of Eorzea, Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will initially feature nine playable jobs, with seamless switching via the Armoury system. Popular minigames like Triple Triad will also be included.
This mobile release marks a significant milestone for the franchise. The partnership with Tencent suggests a strong collaboration between the two companies.
While the initial mobile release might not encompass the full extent of Final Fantasy XIV's content, a phased approach, gradually adding expansions and updates, seems likely. This strategic rollout avoids the challenge of immediately porting the massive existing content.
