Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the mobile iteration of the once-disastrous yet now critically acclaimed MMORPG by Square Enix, is generating significant excitement among fans. A recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store hints at a potential release date of August 29th, which could see the highly anticipated mobile version hit the market in mid-summer.
When Final Fantasy XIV first launched in 2010, it received nearly universal negative reviews, prompting Square Enix to undertake a monumental overhaul. This effort resulted in the rebirth of the game as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since enjoyed immense success and popularity, bolstered by continuous expansions and updates. The prospect of a mobile version has fans, including our own Shaun Walton, buzzing with anticipation as he delves into everything we know about the upcoming mobile release.
The key question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. While a late August launch seems feasible, there's also the possibility of an earlier release for Chinese players, given that Tencent's Lightspeed is handling the port. A global release is expected to follow closely, especially since series veteran Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that the mobile version has been in the works for some time. Judging by the fanfare surrounding its announcement, we can anticipate a polished and lovingly crafted port.
