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

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the mobile version of the hit MMORPG that initially faced severe backlash upon its 2010 release, is generating significant excitement. After a disastrous launch, Square Enix revamped the game, leading to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Now, with a potential mid-summer release, anticipation is high, especially following a listing on the Chinese iOS App Store hinting at an August 29th launch date.

The game's enduring popularity, fueled by continuous expansions and updates, makes the prospect of a mobile version incredibly appealing to fans. Our own Shaun Walton has provided an in-depth look at what we know about the upcoming mobile release.

Limit BreakThe big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. A late August release seems plausible, though given that Tencent's Lightspeed is handling the port, an earlier release for Chinese players could be possible. A global release is expected to follow soon after, and according to series veteran Naoki Yoshida, the mobile version has been in the works for some time. Fans can look forward to a well-polished port, given the enthusiasm and care with which it's being presented.
