With the “Final Fantasy spirit” of seeking new challenges, Square-Enix made an incredibly ambitious mobile JRPG. Mobius Final Fantasy had several long-time FF developers attached to its crew: Yoshinori Kitase, Kazushige Nojima, Motomu Toriyama, and many others.
What does Mobius Final Fantasy mean to me? Here is my reflection.

Sorry it took me 2-3 years to get this out. Reasons why are explained in the vid.
Just know I have missed making FF videos and I set myself a schedule to keep making these. I have some big surprises coming for the remainder of the year to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series.
Thanks again!
Amazing video and research! I’m actually planning a “remembering mobius final fantasy” video series as well (more focused on the different metas of end game play) and I’ll make sure to give a shout out to this video. Really nice coverage of background and capturing the beauty of this game!
Thanks, I too loved MobiusFF it was a great game, I always wished they would release it without servers, so It could be played forever.
Played since release, till this day I hold this gaming experience as one of the best ones I had in my 33 yrs of being alive. Made me laugh, made me cry, got frustrated but loved this game more than I have any other FF I've said this game can rival any console game in the series and its the only FF game that till this day I wish for it to come back.. literally today as I was in the kitchen it hit me as I was playing Octopath travler loke… "damn where's Mobius" 3 years since the game closed still wishing it to come back.
Ty for the vid brother 🙏 literally made my night everytime I see a Mobus vid it re ignites that passion I've had for FF… over the years I've lost that love but because Mobius spoiled me more than any other ff game lol 😆
This game was something truly special … hope they re-release/remake it in some form in the future 😭❤
thanks, i like it.
I loved this game. Played since the start and spent enough time in the battle towers to drive anyone mad and still wish we could play this in single player some more.
hi Optimystic Quest, i know this is a bit late but could you do a segment on Final Fantsy Record Keeper? Sadly the game has shut down this past month and it would mean the world if you did a segment on it?
this is what i needed
This makes me sad I never played this… or even heard of it until this video! Like you I don't pay attention to mobile games so this slipped right under the radar for me.
Besides the mobile aspect it makes me think about how games that rely on servers will never be able to be played by future generations, the only thing remaining of them being gameplay footage online. With Google Stadia shutting down, any "exclusives" on there will be lost to time unless someone manages to emulate it. And that makes me think about game conservation and how hard it is to play older games nowadays and how hard it will be in the future. Maybe one day someone will be able to emulate Mobius to give those who couldn't play the game a change to play it.
Once again, love your passion in the video! Made me care about a game I never played.
Your Thumbnail had me thinking the game was coming back! Very nice video overall! Mobile games like this really showed a lot of potential for what games could be like. Sad that we just don't see much of that these days.
Miss this game :')
I mostly play FF games for the story and characters. The music, art and presentation of Mobius were nice and the battle system was fun. But none of the characters or world did anything for me. The writing has all the worst tendencies of Nojima and Toriyama's scenarios, and none of the good. It doesn't feel much better than Square's other mobile games to me, besides the fancy presentation.
And all the pretty art from, and references to, previous games only served as a reminder of how much better and more likeable those games and characters are.
That's just my opinion though. I'm glad you and others did enjoy the game. And I did like your video as an overview. It sucks that server based mobile games like this will just die when servers are shut down, and publishers don't care enough to preserve them in any way. So videos like this are important.
I believe your voice is fit for documentary videos. You should consider this idea.
Mobius was truly ahead of its time for a mobile game and really experimental for what the team and SQEX did. I know the community always hopes it would come back though as do I…I wish SQEX would do more to memorialize this game instead of trying to forget about it. It only lives on in its art (TCG), music (the new Threatryhtm, can't spell). I mean it has a canonical FFX story
I hope Square decides to remake Final Fantasy Mobius into an ARPG for the PS5.
God thank you for this. Hearing that ost again, seeing the art, thinking about my own youngin'
Hope one day we get a standalone version of it. That story is just too interesting to let disappear.
Also I grew up with Mystic Quest so thanks for reminding me of that too!!!
I miss Mobius FF and I love it so much. Nothing can replace it.
Thank you for making this video, you made me cry :")
congratulations on the video and specially on becoming a father!
I was thinking of this game just last week. unfortunately I only played a handful of missions before it was closed, and stranger of paradise made me reminisce on it as well. during that time I stumbled upon a guy who's basically reverse-engineering the game to make an offline version – I can't post the link here because youtube already deleted my comment once, but you can find it in a tumblr named blank project dev.
I really hope we can play it somehow in the future. looks amazing and full of heart.

I remember that grand opening, when Vox first spoke to us and said that, no matter who you were, no matter who you are, it doesn't really matter at all. Those phrases with the background music and everything, it really moves my heart like mountains.
It has this opposite effect of elevating my being, that here, in Palamecia, unlike in the (ironically) desolate world we live in today which are rife with conflicts, broken souls and failures, in Palamecia, it doesn't matter what past you may have, those who would take arms and fight will conquer fate, those who are willing to fight, will not be forgotten.
Nice video man. I also played this game for a bit. Completely free to play too. I now moved on to DFFOO. Hope you can make a vid on that. Super generous FF mobile game and lots of fan service. Cheers
Beatuyfull Video, do u have post the link on the MobiusFF Discord Group?
Did you think MOBIIUS Final Fantasy coming back on mobile?
Thank you again for making this, I really missed this game and the fact that someone beside me still remembers. 🥹🥹😭
I used to just understand how the game's operating system was, but instead closed the server ☹️🥺
Fuck man… this really hurts.
I really miss this game. I grinded hard. It needs to come back
Are they ever going to bring this back cause I love this game got alot of skill and skin
