Final Fantasy XIV has been officially announced for mobile devices! The award-winning MMORPG is coming to android and iOS, but there’s still a lot we don’t know.
Final Fantasy XIV is a full-featured MMO with spectacular graphics and intricate gameplay, condensing that down into a mobile-friendly game is sure to be a difficult task. Even in the trailer narrated by director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), we don’t see much of the actual gameplay. You can check out the trailer on the official site below.
What we do know, is that there will be tons of convenient features like instant job-changing, as well as some fun side-games like Chocobo Racing, as well as crafting and gathering professions to help pass the time between battles.
