[Update] Final Fantasy Grandmasters announced for iOS and Android
Updated at 13:35 on March 19th 2015: It seems there was some confusion in the translation from the Japanese presser.

A new press release says that Square Enix has only confirmed Final Fantasy Grandmasters for Japan in 2015 at the moment.

Hopefully, it will head west at some point.

Original story follows...


Square Enix has announced a new RPG called Final Fantasy Grandmasters for iOS and Android.

It's a spin-off RPG that takes place in Vana'diel - the same world as Final Fantasy XI (which is also heading to mobile).

It's meant as a lighthearted title that will allow you to further explore Vana'diel with friends online.

As such, you'll be able to emote while chatting before heading off to locations seen in XI, either alone or as a group.

You'll fight a bunch of familiar monsters, collect gear for your character, and gain new abilities with experience. There's also the chance to fly around Vana'diel.

For the most part, Grandmasters can be considered a cute, mobile version of Final Fantasy XI, to be honest.

It will be beta-tested in Japan starting next month.
