Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Rumors: Fact or Fiction?

Author : Claire Jan 23,2025

Rumors are swirling that the popular MMORPG, FFXIV, might be making its way to mobile devices. A gaming industry insider, Kurakasis, alleges that Tencent Games and Square Enix are collaborating on a mobile port.

A Spotty Mobile History

This isn't Square Enix's first foray into mobile Final Fantasy games. Past attempts, however, have yielded mixed results. While Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis received a lukewarm reception, Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia ultimately shut down. Therefore, adapting the complex FFXIV experience for mobile is a significant challenge.

Unconfirmed Speculation

It's crucial to remember this is unverified. Square Enix hasn't officially commented. However, past collaborations between Square Enix and Tencent hint at the possibility. In 2018, the companies discussed potential collaborations, and in 2021, then-president Yosuke Matsuda alluded to ongoing projects with Tencent. Thus, the rumor isn't entirely baseless.

Kurakasis' leak provides no timeframe, leaving the project's status uncertain. A formal announcement remains pending.

The Mobile Challenge

Successfully translating FFXIV's intricate mechanics to a mobile platform without compromising its depth is a considerable hurdle for Square Enix. A simplified, subpar version would likely disappoint dedicated fans.
