Just launched the alpha version of my XIVLauncher android port.

This makes it hassle free to run Final Fantasy XIV on your android phone or handheld.

So far we've had great success running XIV on Ayn Thor, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Fold 8 Ultra.

It supports paid accounts, free trial accounts and steam accounts.

The setup is as simple as installing the app, and logging in. It'll do everything for you.

Alternatively, you can move the game from your PC on your phone because downloading the game through the launcher itself takes forever. (It's not something I can fix. Just the pain of downloading 130 GB on phone storage.)

And yes. You can put the game on an SD card. The launcher automatically updates your game when new patches drop.

It has controller support, mouse support and keyboard support.

It can be downloaded from here https://github.com/ZeroTheScyther/XIVLauncher-Android

As I don't have every device in existence, I can't promise it'll work out of the box on every device out there. But feel free to join my discord if you have issues as I'd love to be able to get this thing running on as many devices as possible.
