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

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, a mobile version of the renowned MMORPG that initially faced severe criticism upon its 2010 launch, has now become a highly anticipated release. After a disastrous debut, Square Enix revamped the game, resulting in the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The game's sustained popularity, fueled by continuous expansions and updates, has fans eagerly awaiting its mobile version.

Recent listings on the Chinese iOS App Store suggest that Final Fantasy XIV Mobile could launch as early as August 29th. This mid-summer release date aligns with the building excitement around the game, especially since Final Fantasy XIV Mobile has been under consideration for quite some time. Our own Shaun Walton has provided comprehensive insights into what we know so far about this much-anticipated mobile release.

The big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be at launch. While a late August release seems plausible, it's also possible that Tencent's Lightspeed, handling the port, might roll out an earlier release for Chinese players. Nonetheless, a global release is expected to follow shortly after. According to series veteran Naoki Yoshida, the mobile version has been in the works for a while, promising a polished and lovingly crafted port.
