Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the mobile version of the hit MMORPG that initially faced severe criticism but later soared to acclaim as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, is generating significant excitement. According to a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store, the game is poised for a potential release on August 29th, which would mark a mid-summer launch.
When Final Fantasy XIV first launched in 2010, it was met with nearly universal negative reviews, prompting Square Enix to withdraw the game and undertake a massive redevelopment. The result was the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since maintained a strong player base thanks to continuous expansions and updates. This success story makes the prospect of a mobile version incredibly thrilling for fans, including our own Shaun Walton, who has provided an in-depth look at everything we know about the upcoming mobile release.
The big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. While a late August release date seems highly plausible, there's also the possibility of an earlier launch for Chinese players, given that Tencent's Lightspeed is handling the port. A global release should follow soon after, as confirmed by series veteran Naoki Yoshida, who noted that the mobile version has been in the works for quite some time. Given the care and attention evident in the project's presentation, fans can anticipate a polished and lovingly crafted port.
