Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Announced, Starting With 'A Realm Reborn'

Square Enix and Lightspeed Studios aim to adapt the popular MMO for mobile devices with a free-to-play model and long-term player engagement.

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will begin with the storyline from 'A Realm Reborn,' progressing through expansions over time.
The mobile version is being developed by Lightspeed Studios, known for PUBG Mobile, in collaboration with Square Enix and producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P).
The game will feature a free-to-play model without gacha mechanics, focusing on sustainable revenue and accessibility for a wide audience.
Players can expect a faithful recreation of the original's story, combat, and side activities, tailored for mobile gameplay in shorter sessions.
The game will launch first in China, with a global release planned shortly afterward, though no specific release date has been announced.
