As a longtime enthusiast of the Final Fantasy series, I must say that Square Enix has once again piqued my interest with their announcement of a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV. Having played and completed several iterations of this beloved franchise, I can attest to the immersive storytelling, intricate gameplay mechanics, and unforgettable characters it consistently delivers.
Every so often, Square Enix launches a new major installment in the Final Fantasy series. Occasionally, a particular game’s narrative resonates strongly with fans, leading to a revisit or remastering of that title – such as Final Fantasy VII.
In 2010, Final Fantasy XIV was first launched, and now, Square Enix has disclosed plans to develop a mobile adaptation of this game, originally designed for PlayStation 3 consoles from that era.
Final Fantasy 14 Mobile Announced
Excitedly, I share the news that Square Enix has entrusted Lightspeed Studios, renowned for their mobile adaptation of PUBG, with the development of Final Fantasy XVI Mobile. In a teaser video, even the original director of FFXIV, Naoki Yoshida, made an appearance, hinting at the game’s expansion to a fresh platform and potentially attracting a new wave of players.
Regardless of modifications, Lightspeed Studios is pouring their heart and soul into accurately re-imagining the narrative, roles, combat sequences, and various elements of the game with great energy and commitment.
Setting the Stage
Despite numerous installments throughout the years, devoted followers of Final Fantasy understand that each primary series title offers a fresh, self-contained narrative with recurring themes such as magic and summonable entities like Shiva and Bahamut, which are common to every game in the franchise.
Fans can count on Final Fantasy delivering an epic, fantastical tale filled with unforgettable characters and enchanting beasts for sure.
In the world of Final Fantasy XIV, we find ourselves five years post the devastating Seventh Umbral Calamity. Your character hails from a time preceding this catastrophe and is tasked with devising a strategy to thwart an impending attack from the Garlean Empire. As Eorzea slowly recovers and rebuilds, it’s up to you to protect it from further harm.
How Much of the Game will be Adapted?
Fans might anticipate that, similar to the remake of Final Fantasy VII being divided into three games, the port of Final Fantasy XIV could also arrive in stages. As reported by Video Games Chronicle, the mobile version of FFXIV is due to start with nine main game jobs. However, it’s uncertain how much more of the original game the developers intend to incorporate into the mobile version over time.
It’s noteworthy to mention that Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), and it has consistently received updates throughout the PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation. The most recent update, titled “7.1 Crossroads,” is considered one of the largest in the game since the release of “Dawntrail” last July.
It’s likely that Lightspeed Studios is taking more time to finish the game as they haven’t announced a release date yet. Nevertheless, since there are already solid bases set up, enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for a comprehensive preview of the game before the end of this year.
There’s no specific launch date announced yet for “Final Fantasy XIV Mobile”, but enthusiasts can now sign up for pre-registration. Given the recent announcement, players might anticipate its release in the year 2025.
