Square Enix’s MMO Final Fantasy 14 2.0 launched on August 27, 2013 and over the course of its 11 years it’s managed to amass 30 million players and it would appear that number is likely getting ready to climb even more as the mobile port for the game has officially been announced.
According to the YouTube video posted on the Final Fantasy mobile channel, which features the man himself Naoki Yoshida or Yoshi-P, the port is being worked on by Lightspeed Studios. For those unfamiliar, according to their own website, the studio just released its debut game called Last Sentinel on December 7th, 2023. The above video also features a gameplay trailer and bonus scene.
Yoshi-P also stated:

Set in the expansive realm of Eorzea and accompanied by the beloved music of FINAL FANTASY XIV, FFXIV MOBILE allows players to embark on a new adventure on their mobile device.”
