Over the past few years, Square Enix has been developing mobile games Final Fantasy XI R with Nexon. The game was called an ‘MMMRPG’ or ‘Massively Multiplayer Mobile RPG’. But now it seems to be no more.
Originally announced in 2015 as Final Fantasy XI Mobile, the game has been promised to be a mobile version of, you guessed it, FFXI. It was announced in 2016 in Japan and South Korea, but it never happened. Social game information report that FFXIR could not meet the expected standards and the developers of the project were moved to other games.
Final Fantasy XI R was apparently listed in the development pipeline last fall, but in February it was finally officially canceled. Kotaku follow up for explanation.
