Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Set for Mid-Summer Release in China

by Eric May 18,2025

The highly anticipated mobile version of the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is generating significant buzz among fans. Initially released in 2010, Final Fantasy XIV faced a rocky start, garnering nearly universal negative reviews. Square Enix, however, didn't give up on the game. They took the drastic step of pulling it from the market to completely overhaul it, resulting in the triumphant return with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since become a beloved title in the gaming community.

With continuous expansions and updates keeping the game fresh and engaging, the excitement for a mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV is palpable. According to a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store, fans might not have to wait long, as a potential release date of August 29th has been suggested. This mid-summer launch could be the perfect time for players to dive into the world of Eorzea on their mobile devices.

The mobile port, handled by Tencent's Lightspeed, raises questions about how feature-complete the game will be upon release. While a late August release seems feasible, an earlier launch for Chinese players isn't out of the question. Series producer Naoki Yoshida has confirmed that the mobile version has been in the works for some time, indicating a well-polished product on the horizon.

As we eagerly await the mobile release, fans like Shaun Walton have been breaking down all the details we know so far. If you're looking to satisfy your RPG cravings before Final Fantasy XIV Mobile hits the market, be sure to explore our dual list of the best RPGs available on iOS and Android!
