Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Set for Chinese Launch in Mid-Summer

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the highly anticipated mobile version of the renowned MMORPG, might be hitting the market sooner than expected. According to a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store, the release could be as early as August 29th. This news has stirred excitement among fans, eager to experience the critically acclaimed game on their mobile devices.

The original Final Fantasy XIV launched in 2010 to overwhelmingly negative reviews, leading Square Enix to take drastic action. They essentially rebuilt the game from the ground up, resulting in the release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which was met with widespread acclaim. The game has since maintained its popularity through continuous expansions and updates, making the prospect of a mobile version highly appealing to its dedicated fanbase.

Our own Shaun Walton has provided an in-depth look at everything we know about the upcoming mobile release, adding to the growing anticipation. With Tencent's Lightspeed handling the port, there's a possibility of an earlier release for Chinese players, but a global launch is expected to follow closely. Series veteran Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that the mobile version has been in development for some time, promising a polished and well-crafted port.

The big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be at launch. While a late August release date seems plausible, the level of completeness and quality remains to be seen. However, given the attention and care being invested in this project, fans can look forward to a robust mobile experience.
