Battle system for Final Fantasy 14 mobile reveals surprisingly good combat

After the initial reveal on Final Fantasy 14 mobile, fans have now got a glimpse of the battle system inside the game. Many were wondering how Tencent managed to work out the battle, as MMOs usually have complex systems with different characters having different abilities. Surprisingly, it was quite well though out with minimal UI clutter.

A recent post on X (Twitter) showcases different classes and battle system for Final Fantasy 14 mobile, with the ability buttons tucked on the right side of the screen. While the particular area does look a bit of clutter, however, this allows the remaining space to be clean during battle.

The FFXIV Mobile battle system introduction video has been revealed, and there are a lot of buttons 😆

Some fans, however, have raised concerns regarding higher level rotations, wondering how will things work out when players need to use more abilities. Furthermore, the combat system itself was questioned as each fight was done from a single spot, leading to fans to speculate there will be no moving around too.

It is currently unknown if there will be more changes to the current UI of players will get a simplified version of the combat, which is understandable considering how massive the game is and porting it to mobile device may need some sacrifice in the process.
