Mobile MMORPG 'Final Fantasy XIV' Launches

by Blake Feb 10,2025

Final Fantasy XIV is officially heading to mobile devices, bringing years of content to players on the go. Developed by Tencent's Lightspeed Studios in collaboration with Square Enix, this mobile version lets you explore Eorzea from the palm of your hand.

The announcement ends months of speculation and confirms the mobile adaptation of the massively popular MMORPG. Tencent's Lightspeed Studios will work closely with Square Enix on development.

Final Fantasy XIV's journey has been remarkable. Its initially disastrous 2012 launch was followed by a complete overhaul ("A Realm Reborn"), transforming it into a critical and commercial success.

The mobile version, set in the familiar world of Eorzea, will launch with nine playable jobs, allowing seamless switching via the Armoury system. Popular minigames, such as Triple Triad, will also be included.

This mobile port marks a significant milestone for Final Fantasy XIV, given its tumultuous history and subsequent resurgence. The partnership with Tencent signifies a strong collaboration between the two companies.

While the initial mobile release may not include all the game's extensive content, a phased approach, gradually adding expansions and updates, is likely. This strategy avoids the challenge of launching with the entirety of Final Fantasy XIV's substantial content.
