Final Fantasy 14 Mobile Announced for iOS and Android, Playtests Soon

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that the announcement of Final Fantasy 14 Mobile has sent waves of excitement rippling through the gaming community. Having spent countless hours immersed in the rich world of Eorzea on my PC and console, I am thrilled at the prospect of venturing forth into this magical realm from the comfort of my mobile device.

The classic online role-playing game, “Final Fantasy 14,” is set to appear on smartphones for the first time. Preliminary tests of this game are expected to begin shortly, hinting that a release could be imminent.

Contrary to most games in the Final Fantasy series that focus on single-player role-playing games, Final Fantasy 14 has thrived exceptionally well as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). In this game, you can create your own character and embark on an epic journey summoned by the Mothercrystal. Your mission is to carry the beacon of hope across the realm of Hydaelyn, safeguarding Eorzea from numerous threats while fulfilling your destiny as an adventurer. Ever since its debut in 2013, Final Fantasy 14 has expanded significantly and introduced large-scale updates over time. The latest expansion, Dawntrail, introduced two new classes (the Viper and the Pictomancers) and increased the level cap, along with new zones and a graphical upgrade.

With triumphs on PC and gaming consoles, including the latest Xbox Series X|S edition, fans are now able to enjoy Final Fantasy 14 on mobile devices. This is made possible by LightSpeed Studios and Tencent. However, an exact release date has yet to be disclosed. Playtests in China will commence shortly, with a global launch following soon after the Chinese phase. You can view the announcement trailer above.

I, as a gamer and producer/director of Final Fantasy 14, am thrilled to announce that it’s been 11 years since our epic game launched, and now we’re crafting a sister title specifically for mobile devices. This new game aims to replicate the grandeur of the original’s story and combat mechanics on smaller screens. We’re dedicated to staying true to details like the Disciples of the Land and Hand, and I can’t wait to see how this journey evolves alongside our passionate Final Fantasy 14 community.

Final Fantasy 14 Mobile promises a fresh perspective on the world of Eorzea. Whether progress from previous versions will carry over remains unclear, but it appears that you’ll embark on a new journey, revisiting the main storyline of Final Fantasy 14 from its commencement. This gives players the opportunity to select among numerous races and initially pick from nine roles (which can be adjusted whenever desired). Furthermore, the streamlined mobile controls and captivating visuals are expected to be major attractions.

Players can traverse the globe, either solo or with companions online, in this game that mirrors the main title’s experience. Besides engaging in classic action RPG battles, you can spend time personalizing your home, riding Chocobos, and joining seasonal activities. Just like in the primary game, there are various crafting and gathering professions to pick from, such as alchemist or master fisher, all of which are part of the gameplay. To top it off, the game features Masayoshi Soken’s stunning soundtrack.

With the massive popularity of Final Fantasy 14, introducing a mobile version can undoubtedly attract even more players to this hit game. The adaptation appears to be quite faithful, having been developed with close collaboration from the same team – a positive indication. Currently, there’s no better moment than now to embark on your journey in Eorzea, whether you go alone or with friends, and embrace the role of the Warriors of Light that this world deserves.
