The buzz around the mobile version of the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is reaching a fever pitch as fans eagerly await its arrival. Originally launched in 2010 to overwhelmingly negative reviews, Square Enix transformed the game with a complete overhaul, resulting in the beloved Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Now, a recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store suggests that Final Fantasy XIV Mobile might hit our screens as early as August 29th, potentially marking a mid-summer release.

Since its remarkable turnaround, Final Fantasy XIV has sustained its popularity through continuous updates and expansions, making the prospect of a mobile release incredibly exciting for its dedicated fanbase. Our very own Shaun Walton has provided a comprehensive breakdown of everything known about the mobile version so far, adding to the anticipation.

One burning question among fans is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be upon release. Given that Tencent's Lightspeed studio is handling the port, an earlier launch for Chinese players is certainly within the realm of possibility. However, a global release is expected to follow closely behind. According to an interview with series veteran Naoki Yoshida, the mobile version has been in the works for quite some time, promising a well-crafted and polished experience that reflects the high standards set by the franchise.
