Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Set for Chinese Summer Release

By AnthonyMay 01,2025

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is stirring excitement among fans, with the hit MMORPG potentially set for a mid-summer release. A recent listing on the Chinese iOS App Store suggests a launch date as early as August 29th. This mobile version of Final Fantasy XIV, which transformed from a disastrous launch in 2010 to the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, is eagerly awaited by the gaming community.

The original release of Final Fantasy XIV in 2010 was met with nearly universal negative reviews, prompting Square Enix to undertake a massive overhaul. The result was a triumphant resurgence with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which has since maintained its popularity through continuous expansions and updates. The prospect of a mobile version is particularly thrilling for fans, including our own Shaun Walton, who has provided a comprehensive breakdown of what we know about the upcoming mobile release.

The big question on everyone's mind is how feature-complete Final Fantasy XIV will be on mobile devices. While a late August release date seems plausible, given that Tencent's Lightspeed is handling the port, an earlier release for Chinese players cannot be ruled out. However, a global release is expected to follow closely, as confirmed by series veteran Naoki Yoshida in a recent interview. He emphasized that Final Fantasy XIV Mobile has been in the works for a while, promising a polished and lovingly crafted port that reflects the dedication behind it.
