It's a sad day for fans of the Final Fantasy series as another mobile title bites the dust. War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, a spin-off from the main Brave Exvius game, is set to shut down on May 29th of this year. This closure adds to the growing list of Square Enix mobile games that have been discontinued in recent years. If you're keen on experiencing War of the Visions one last time, be sure to dive back in before the servers go dark.
Interestingly, War of the Visions is shutting down even after the original Brave Exvius announced its own closure in September 2024. This sequence of events highlights a troubling trend for Square Enix's mobile offerings. Despite the quality of War of the Visions, Square Enix seems to be facing a crisis of confidence in their mobile game portfolio, which is extensive and includes ports of older retro titles.
So, what's behind Square Enix's wave of mobile game closures? The simplest explanation, though hard to digest, is that they might have oversaturated the market with numerous spin-offs. At a time when the immensely popular Final Fantasy XIV is poised to hit mobile platforms, fans have plenty of other options to enjoy their beloved franchise on the go. This situation might reflect a bit of overconfidence on Square Enix's part, which unfortunately leads to fans losing games they enjoyed.
However, don't despair just yet! We've curated a (now shrinking) list of the best Final Fantasy games still available on mobile to help you satisfy your RPG cravings. Check them out and keep the Final Fantasy spirit alive on your smartphone!
