"Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Set for Chinese Launch in Mid-Summer"

by Gabriel Apr 23,2025

The excitement for Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is palpable as the iconic MMORPG, which initially faced severe criticism upon its 2010 release, has since transformed into a juggernaut in the gaming world. Square Enix's monumental effort to revamp the game resulted in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has been celebrated for its constant updates and expansions, keeping the player base engaged and growing.

Now, with a potential mid-summer release on the horizon, the anticipation for Final Fantasy XIV Mobile has reached new heights. A recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store hints at a possible launch date of August 29th, stirring up considerable buzz among fans. Our own Shaun Walton has provided an in-depth look at what we know about the mobile version so far, reflecting the community's eagerness for this new platform.

What to Expect from Final Fantasy XIV Mobile

The big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be. Given the game's complexity and depth, ensuring a seamless mobile experience is no small feat. However, with Tencent's Lightspeed Studio handling the port, an earlier release for Chinese players seems plausible. A global release is expected to follow soon after, as confirmed by series producer Naoki Yoshida, who emphasized that the mobile version has been in development for some time.

Judging by the attention to detail and the care being poured into this project, fans can look forward to a polished and lovingly crafted mobile port. The pomp and circumstance surrounding its announcement only add to the anticipation.
