If you’re a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise, prepare for some exciting news. Square Enix and Tencent Games have officially announced that a mobile version of the beloved MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is in development. This confirmation follows a leak by popular leaker Kurakasis, heightening the anticipation among fans.
The announcement came during the FF14 Eorzean Symphony concert in Guangzhou, China. This project is a continuation of the strategic alliance between Square Enix and Tencent, which began in 2018. The foundation for this mobile adaptation was likely set in 2021 when then-President of Square Enix, Yosuke Matsuda, hinted at ongoing collaborations with Tencent.

Final Fantasy XIV, initially launched in 2010 and relaunched as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in 2013, offers a rich MMORPG experience. Players can explore a vast world, and gain experience points by defeating monsters, crafting, and completing quests to level up their characters and unlock new abilities.

While Square Enix’s track record with mobile adaptations of the Final Fantasy franchise has been mixed, the development of Final Fantasy XIV Mobile could mark a significant revival for the series on mobile platforms. Fans are eager to see how this ambitious project unfolds.
