      The Chinese App Store may have just given us a hint about the first possible release window for the FFXIV mobile game! Here is everything we know so far!
      A few months ago, the first trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV Mobile Game has been released! Tencent and Square Enix teamed up to create a new version of our favorite MMORPG. If you did not see the trailer, you can watch it here:
      The game will most likely be slightly different from your original version, however, it should contain everything you need from story, to mechanics and off-combat functionalities!
      Naoki Yoshida is also directing things for the mobile version, and it will be developed by LightSpeed Studio, which is part of Tencent.
      Recently, players have noticed a date appeared on the Chinese App Store: 29 August 2025:
      While it is unsure if this is the official release date in China, or only for the first playtests, this does indicate that things are moving forward. We should expect more information about the mobile game soon! Maybe some beta for a global release as well. 
      If you want to be among the first players to join, you can already sign up on the Official FFXIV Mobile Game website as well!

      The wait is finally over! Find out what the upcoming Beastmaster class is all about! From class abilities to special features, it is everything you ever wished for is available in our exclusive Beastmaster Guide!
      The wait is finally over! After years of speculation, wishful thinking, and countless forum talks, Square Enix has confirmed that Beastmaster will be the next job introduced in Final Fantasy XIV.
      A Job Like No Other
      Unlike any previous job, Beastmaster will introduce an exciting gameplay system that allows players to summon various beasts from across Eorzea.
      Much like the Blue Mage, Beastmaster will be classified as a Limited Job. This means that, while some traditional endgame content may remain inaccessible, Beastmasters will have unique gameplay opportunities that no other job can match.
      How Does Beastmaster Work?
      Beastmasters will wield a Whip as their primary weapon, allowing them to control, summon, and command beasts in combat. Beastmasters have a hybrid playstyle where they deal damage via both their own attacks and the attacks of their summoned beast(s). You will have to manage your own and your pets' actions.
      Customization and Progression
      One of the most exciting aspects of the Beastmaster job is its customization. Instead of a static ability kit, Beastmasters will unlock new abilities based on the beast you use. Each beast will have its own unique skills.
      Availability and Unlocking the Job
      According to the announcement, the Beastmaster job will be available to all players who have completed the Dawntrail MSQ. The job questline will begin in Gridania, where you will be introduced to a legendary animal tamer who will teach the ways of bonding with Eorzea's Beasts.
      The development team has promised more details in the next Live Letter, including footage of Beastmaster in action. With so many new mechanics at play, this could be one of the most unique job additions to date!
      You can get more details on the Beastmasters on our Beastmaster Guide Page!
      If you are reading this with growing excitement...
      As much as we would love to see Beastmaster in Final Fantasy XIV, this job remains a dream… for now. Happy April's Fool! Good luck with the raid tier, and be sure that we will be ready once Beastmaster really releases!
