Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most important MMOs of the present. Somehow, it has managed to capture the essence of Final Fantasy while being an excellent MMO. Its popularity and success place it among the great MMOs. And with good reason. That’s why neither its longevity nor the fact that subsequent Final Fantasy games look up to it is surprising. It’s because no other Square Enix game is such a safe bet, every time.

Final Fantasy XIV, simplified, but with the same essence

Now Square Enix and Tencent have announced the development of Final Fantasy XIV Mobile. This is a half surprise. We already knew about the existence of this mobile MMO since it was leaked last August, when it appeared on the list of games approved for release in China. The ones in charge of bringing the game to mobile will be LightSpeed Studios, who have previously handled PUBG Mobile, with great experience in the field of mobile development.

While the intention is for it to be as similar as possible to the PC and console version, including fishing, Chocobo racing, and the Triple Triad card game, it will be independent from the other versions. It’s aiming to recreate the grandeur of the original story and combat mechanics on mobile devices.

Although the developers are LightSpeed Studios, Naoki Yoshida is in charge of supervising this version of the game. Yoshida has been the director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV since the A Realm Reborn expansion, which was released fourteen years ago and completely revamped the game from scratch – so no one knows the game better than him. It ensures that this version, although with certain compromises, will be an experience as similar as possible to that of PC and consoles.

Although it does not have a release date yet, Final Fantasy XIV Mobile will be launched for both iOS and Android. And before the worldwide release, a series of tests will be conducted in China. Once these are concluded, the game will be released shortly thereafter on a worldwide scale, much to the delight of fans of this incredible MMO.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online is a premium role-playing game that has gathered a global player base of over 27 million adventurers.

With its rich story, immersive gameplay, and a devoted community, it has become a benchmark in the MMORPG genre.

The actor from ‘Final Fantasy XIV’ who didn’t quit the game upon finding fame

“I was so determined not to leave the character that when I was doing ‘Company’, I had to record this during the day for a week while doing eight shows at night.”

If you have watched ‘Bridgerton’, you probably already know Jonathon Bailey, a 35-year-old actor who, until his moment of success, was best known for his theater roles (he started in the musical playing the immortal Gavroche in ‘Les Misérables’) and now combines being on stage with appearing in films like the upcoming ‘Wicked’ or the miniseries ‘Fellow travelers’. But, in addition, he is a voice that you have surely heard if you have ever played ‘Final Fantasy XIV’.

Fantasy, yes. Final, of course not

The actor, who plays the cat-man G’raha Tia in the MMORPG and all its expansions, hasn’t even considered leaving that job. Yes, it’s great to have international fame, but who would refuse to appear in a ‘Final Fantasy’ if given the opportunity? In Bafta magazine, he said he is perfectly aware of how important the character is to many people: “I was so determined not to leave the character that, when I was doing ‘Company’, I had to record this during the day for a week while doing eight shows at night“.

In the end, yes, his tongue got inflamed, but the fans thanked him for his hard work (and the bank account, mind you, as well). That’s why he apologizes, because it may sound, at times, a little bit bad. However, he refuses to leave a game in which he believes the script is almost Shakespearean. “I mean, it’s incredible. It’s a very open, adorable, and playful companion for the player”. Here’s to many more years of expansions of ‘Final Fantasy XIV’, Jonathon.

Final Fantasy XIV makes the leap to the analog format by announcing its own pen-and-paper role-playing game

Final Fantasy XIV continues to expand, this time entering the world of pen and paper role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons style

Final Fantasy XIV is one of the longest-running and most played games in the world, which you might have barely heard of. Being an MMO, an online role-playing game, it has a dedicated community that has been nurtured over the years, but it has also created a high entry barrier. It’s no wonder that delving into a game of this kind is challenging, especially one that has been active for as long as Final Fantasy XIV. Now, Square Enix has decided to expand it in a way that can serve as a gateway for newcomers while also providing something new for its veteran players.

“Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV will have its own role-playing game, this time in analog format. The game will transition to pen and paper with a tabletop role-playing game in the style of Dungeons & Dragons, as revealed at the past Tokyo Games Show. They have now confirmed that it will also have a translation, at least in English.

So far, they have revealed a handful of products related to this game. Called Final Fantasy XIV Online TRPG, it will be available for purchase on their official store, and in fact, pre-orders for the beginner’s set are already open. This starter box includes a player’s handbook sheet, a game master’s handbook sheet, several character sheets with pre-made characters, six 20-sided dice, ten 6-sided dice, a map, character tokens, and skill markers.”

Priced at €59.99, this role-playing game will be released in May 2024. For those who want to extend their adventures in Eorzea, they have already announced a game master’s book and a player’s handbook, which will be released at a later date yet to be announced, expanding on the rules of the beginner’s set. This promises that even the most veteran players of Final Fantasy XIV can expect to spend another thirteen or fourteen years in its world, if they wish. Only this time, they can also tell their own stories.
