I don't play MMOs but since this is one of only a few Final Fantasies I haven't played and since it'll be mobile, I'll give it a go

Final Fantasy XI Mobile screenshots.
- Thread starter Wrexis
- Start date
I just crossed a video (6 minutes) going over why open world difficulty was so important. There was no feeling I had in a world like Final Fantasy, though I suppose Demon's Souls gets there. It gave the world character, feeling (dread, care free, hopelessness), and made me picking up Beastmaster when I did so perfect.
As beastmaster I felt I got a chance to experience FFXI's world in a way a lot of other people didn't. I didn't feel in danger of the world because of my abilities, I took that danger and used it as my weapon. I remember when I first noticed it, I was merely grinding exp in a relaxed state, facing a river in Carpenter's Landing, thinking so many of my ffxi buddies would probably never get to see the world like this, or may have never been to this particular spot. It felt unique.

So, is anyone else as surprised as I am that we didn't get any updates about this at the Fan Fest? Can we expect any info from the one in Paris?
Fanfest is strictly for 14. If we are to get any info on FFXI mobile it will be at the Japanese FFXI event next month.
There is a Famitsu/ Dengeki sponsored Fan Event for FFXI on December 2nd
with special guests, including FFXI series composer Kumi Tanioka

They may announce something there.

Awesome! My fingers are firmly crossed! I've kind of been wanting to try out FFXI but with XIV being as good as it is, I'd need a really good excuse to divert... As long as there aren't any major deal breakers later down the line, this looks like the perfect excuse to give XI a try!
Thanks for the info, guys!
nuuuu I was hoping we got something!
But no updates. Wouldn't be surprised if this project is dead.
To be fair, it seemed that way for ages before we got the previous update.
It would seem like kind of a waste to make this only for mobiles when there is clearly big demand for a streamlined story mode version of the game for consoles and has been for ages.
With the success that ffxiv has had, especially recently makes me wonder if the project was quietly canceled.
Ugh dont get my hopes up with a thread bump!
And IMO the market for people who want to play XI on a phone/tablet are probably not people being pulled from XIV, but who can really say.
I know about a year ago square said they have something planned for 20 year anniversary of ffxi, is it possible this could be it? What about grandmasters did that get canned also?
Grandmasters did shut down recently, yeah - couldn't outlive its inspiration.
To think this thread is 2 years old and we're still clinging on screenshots
This is dead, isn't it? Or will it end up being a cash grab mobile auto-play game? No way this will be the "true" FFXI experience, but on a phone. Right?
From a recentish interview with the FFXI leads published last month -
So, uh, at least they acknowledged it exists.
My personal guess is they'll aim for a 2022 release for the 20th anniversary... If it's happening at all.
I'm hoping it'd be brought to other platforms too but I doubt it.

I soloed a ton on many of the classes, leveling Beastmaster to 75 all solo changed everything for me. Never had a experience like it, very peaceful, stress free, awe inspiring (made me realize how pretty the locations in the game were, also that not many people got to see the world like I was seeing it, not as a threat, but an ally/tool/vacation surrounded by danger).
Also I helped a lot of Blu's get abilities easy, and BLU/75 - 99BST was awesome. Good access to chr spells and gear to charm things.

I also suspect that. By the way, Final Fantasy XI Mobile has also received a name change: Final Fantasy XI R (since 2019)
I got into FFXI with the 360 version and some of my fondest gaming memories are bringing my console over to a friend's place and exploring Vana'diel until the early hours of the morning.
There is no other game with such a compelling mix of awe and tension. It's a much better game than XIV in my opinion not only because of the more well realised world, but because you actually have agency over your character. Want to create a melee Summoner build? Do it! Is it optimal? God no, but who cares!
Wasn't that the one where you could do some crazy summoning stuff? If that is coming to Switch and without a subscription I definitely try it out.
I'd love to see a 100% offline story mode variant for consoles. I'm assuming the mobile version would still have microtransactions and such.
It's the one where summoner's actually have cool pets and is a strong meta end game job. Yeah.
Based on the reddit thread, people are saying most of these screens are from a private porfolia and the top images are what the game look slike, bottom is an artist touched up version that they are trying to get the game to look.
Someone also commented the development UI looks like UE4, can anyone confirm?
I still can't believe what happened to Summoner in FFXIV. It was the first class I ran to because it was the only pet class (Summoner, Scholar, Arcanist). I've been playing FFXII again recently and even Garuda-Egi in FFXII looked more epic than the Egi in FFXIV look.
I played the hell out of this back in the early to mid 2000's. I'd love to play this again in a single player setting. But they thing I loved about this game was the the skill chain mechanics and the additional burst attacks that would come with them. If they could find a way to have the AI in your party orchestrate this, I'd all over this.
It's been known for years that FF11 Mobile would be using UE4.
