Final Fantasy XIV Mobile to Launch in China Mid-Summer

by Aaron Apr 19,2025

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile, the mobile adaptation of the once-disastrous but now critically-acclaimed MMORPG, has fans buzzing with anticipation. According to a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store, the game is poised for a potential release on August 29th, marking a mid-summer launch for this eagerly awaited title.

Originally launched in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV faced nearly universal backlash, prompting Square Enix to overhaul the game from the ground up. The result was the beloved Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since captivated players worldwide with its continuous expansions and updates. The prospect of experiencing this epic on mobile devices has fans, including our very own Shaun Walton, incredibly excited.

A key concern among fans is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. While a late August release seems plausible, Tencent's Lightspeed, responsible for the port, might roll it out to Chinese players even sooner. However, a global release should follow closely behind.

In a recent interview, series veteran Naoki Yoshida confirmed that Final Fantasy XIV Mobile has been in development for some time, signaling a well-polished product on the horizon. The enthusiasm surrounding the mobile port suggests it will be crafted with the same care and dedication that has made the original game a success.
