The anticipation for the mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV, the renowned MMORPG that transformed from a near-failure to a critically acclaimed success, is reaching new heights. According to a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store, fans might be able to dive into Final Fantasy XIV Mobile as early as August 29th.
Originally launched in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV faced harsh criticism and negative reviews. This led Square Enix to withdraw the game and undertake a monumental overhaul, resulting in the highly praised Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The game's enduring popularity, fueled by continuous expansions and updates, has kept players engaged and eager for a mobile release.
The prospect of Final Fantasy XIV on mobile devices is thrilling for fans, including our own Shaun Walton, who has provided a comprehensive breakdown of what we know about the upcoming mobile version.

A key question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. While a late August launch seems highly plausible, especially given that Tencent's Lightspeed is handling the port, an earlier release for Chinese players isn't out of the question. A global release should follow closely, as confirmed by Naoki Yoshida in a recent interview, emphasizing that the mobile version has been in the works for some time.
Regardless of the exact release date, the mobile port of Final Fantasy XIV promises to be a meticulously crafted experience, judging by the attention and care being invested in its development.
