Final Fantasy XIV is officially coming to mobile devices, gradually introducing years of content over time. This mobile version is a collaborative effort between Tencent's Lightspeed Studios and Square Enix. Prepare to adventure through Eorzea in the palm of your hand!
The long-awaited official announcement confirms the mobile adaptation of Final Fantasy XIV. As previously hinted, Tencent's Lightspeed Studios, in close partnership with Square Enix, is leading development.
Final Fantasy XIV’s journey is a remarkable story of a troubled launch followed by a triumphant resurgence. The 2012 release faced harsh criticism, prompting a complete overhaul of the development team and the creation of "A Realm Reborn," a ground-up rebuild.
Set in the beloved world of Eorzea, the mobile version promises a substantial amount of content at launch. Players will have access to nine jobs, easily switching between them using the Armoury system. Popular minigames, such as Triple Triad, will also be included.
This mobile release marks a significant milestone, given Final Fantasy XIV's dramatic history and its current prominent position in Square Enix's lineup. The collaboration with Tencent for the mobile port suggests a strong partnership.
One potential concern is the initial content offering, which may be more limited than some players anticipate. It's likely that expansions and updates will be rolled out gradually, rather than attempting to include all of the game's extensive content at once.
