Final Fantasy 14 Mobile's official website appears abandoned by Square Enix

I don't blame you for not remembering, but all the way back in 2024, Final Fantasy 14 Mobile rolled out in China. Later that year, it was announced to the Final Fantasy 14 community at large, with director Naoki Yoshida citing it as a new way to experience the story and a “sister title” to the main Final Fantasy 14 that would be developed independently.

Bold promises were thrown around regarding content updates, and for a while the game got new additions like hairstyles and mounts that, admittedly, made my regular FF14 player a little jealous. However, fast forward a little over a year after the game's proper release in China, and it appears that Square Enix may have abandoned the title entirely.

Final Fantasy 14 Mobile seems to have been abandoned

It's been reported a few times since its official release in China that Final Fantasy 14 Mobile hasn't fared too well. Not only was it riddled with predatory methods of monetization, but it also reportedly failed to attempt to part with players with their money. The last major update was last November, and it's been radio silent ever since.

Yoshi-P isn't retiring anytime soon, and he's still got “lots of game ideas stored up”

His long career doesn't look like ending anytime soon.

It's been seemingly increasingly unlikely that Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will get a worldwide release, and a new discovery has pretty much confirmed that the game has been left for dead by Square Enix. Discovered and shared by a Reddit user named Aqualenne, it appears the official mobile site for the game has been down for over a week. Clicking on the link will only take you to an error page.

With no updates in sight, disappointing revenue, and a mobile site that has been down for weeks, Final Fantasy 14 Mobile is practically dead at this point. We'll most likely see unique items and hairstyles make their way to the main game in the next year or so, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was quietly shut down without an announcement. It was an interesting experiment, but one that seems to have failed.
