Mobile gaming has reached new heights of power and visibility, and today Square Enix revealed that its acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV is set to debut on mobile platforms through an upcoming adaptation.
Upcoming game is an adaptation of Final Fantasy XIV
According to Square Enix, the mobile adaptation of Final Fantasy XIV is being developed by Lightspeed Studios. While it won’t be an exact replica of the original, the goal is to create a compelling mobile experience.
From the official announcement:
LIGHTSPEED STUDIOS has made significant efforts to ensure that FINAL FANTASY XIV MOBILE accurately replicates the original game’s award-winning gameplay and narrative. The mobile version will include lifestyle aspects such as fishing, Triple Triad, and chocobo racing. Furthermore, players will be able to enjoy the intricately designed visuals that reflect Eorzea on mobile. Visual features—including a detailed weather and time-of-day system offering over 600 different weather variations across diverse landscapes—alongside player characters and equipment designs, have been meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the original game.
Final Fantasy XIV is set to roll out in China soon for pre-release play tests, with a wider global launch to follow shortly thereafter.
Details about compatible devices are currently limited, though it’s likely that a relatively recent iPhone will be required; specifics have yet to be announced.
In addition to this, Apple recently disclosed that two new Final Fantasy games are coming to iPhone via Apple Arcade, although neither title holds the same level of prominence as Final Fantasy XIV.
