Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World

The Android adaptation of Final Fantasy XIV

Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World is a version of Square Enix's popular MMORPG that has been specially adapted to mobile devices. The original game, first released in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Windows, continues receiving updates and support after over a decade. With more than 25 million registered users, its player community has made it the most profitable game in the Final Fantasy franchise. And this Android version promises to follow in its footsteps.

It is important to bear in mind that Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World is not only the work of Square Enix, the developers of the original game on PC and console, it has been developed by LightSpeed Studios, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, with Square Enix's collaboration and supervision. Android gamers may be familiar with the name LightSpeed Studios because they are the developers of, among other games, the original PUBG Mobile.

Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World is set in the continent of Eorzea in the world known as Hydaelyn. After hearing the call of the Mothercrystal, your goal is to embark on an adventure to free the entire continent from an eternity of darkness. Luckily, as is typically the case in any good MMO, you won't be alone. You can enjoy all these adventures together with other players over the Internet. While it is possible to complete missions alone, it is best to seek the help of others to complement your skills.

Just like Final Fantasy XIV on PC and console, this Android version allows you to choose from a multitude of races when creating your character. You can even choose between nine different professions, allowing you to create a variety of different character types. And the best part? Thanks to the Armoury System, you can switch professions instantly. So, if you are a little bored with your character, simply change class and enjoy the game in a new way.

As not everything in the game is about saving the world, in Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World, you can enjoy the saga's classic mini-games. You can participate in exciting chocobo races, dive into Triple Triad card duels, and even go fishing. If you don't feel like fighting enemies or progressing through the story, you don't have to. Just go to the Gold Saucer and enjoy the various mini-games and social interactions offered by one of the most legendary locations in the entire franchise.

Final Fantasy XIV: Crystal World manages to transfer the original game to mobile devices and offer one of the best Android MMO experiences around. Although much more enjoyable with friends and clanmates, it is a colossal game that can also be enjoyed solo. You decide the level of social interaction within the game. You choose how you want to save Eorzea.
