Summary
Final Fantasy 14has been rumored to have a mobile game in development for a while now,ever since an unannounced mobile title was given the greenlight for release in China. We had absolutely no idea how it would look, what it would play like, or how Square Enix would manage to cram five expansions worth of content onto our mobile phones, but thankfully, we don’t have to wait for details much longer.
Announced by none other than Final Fantasy 14 director Naoki Yoshida himself, Final Fantasy 14 Mobile is very real, but it’s probably not what we were all expecting. Rather than a straight port of the game, Final Fantasy 14 Mobile appears to be a completely brand-new MMO, developed by a studio called Lightspeed Studios while under the direction of Square Enix and Yoshi-P.
Final Fantasy 14 Mobile Announced, Playtests To Begin Soon
In the game’s trailer, Yoshi-P explains that Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will faithfully recreate the story of the original game, as well as its duties and battle content.We can get even more info from the game’s recently published website, as it explains that battles have been adjusted for mobile, a variety of playable races will be available, and that nine jobs will be ready to be tried out at launch.
On top of that, it’s also revealed that Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will have classic minigames from the original game, such as fishing, Triple Triad, and chocobo racing. Honestly, the idea of having Triple Triad on mobile might be enough to push me into the game on its own.
Unfortunately, the game isn’t quite ready to dive into right now.In a different article on the Final Fantasy 14 Mobile website, it’s explained that the game is currently getting ready to demo via multiple playtests in China, though a global launch is planned shortly after. We don’t have any confirmed dates right now, though you canif you want to keep up to date.
