Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is now playable for free!

This project will be developed by Lightspeed Studios, which is part of Tencent. They promise an experience of playing Final Fantasy XIV with a story similar to the original version, but with new mechanics that are more suitable for touch screen devices. Unfortunately, this confirmation does not discuss many important aspects such as its distribution method. Fortunately, there is now more information available.

In its confirmation to the famous Japanese gaming media, Famitsu, Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is assured to be released in a free-to-play format, not paid. Interestingly, this game will also not have a gacha system at all. Unfortunately, there is no further information about the monetization system that will be implemented, although many speculate that they will sell cosmetic items such as costumes and mounts, not characters. In addition, this game is also promised to have optimal controls for mobile devices.

Final Fantasy XIV Mobile is planned to go through several playtests in the Chinese market before being released globally. In my opinion, this is a great step! By conducting playtests, developers can receive feedback from players and improve the game before it is widely launched. This can help ensure that the playing experience is better and meets player expectations. So, it can be said that this is a pretty good system!
