Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius is ‘on the right path’ in mobile gaming

Though Square Enix is known for its console blockbusters such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, it’s been making big push in mobile. This includes a Final Fantasy XV massively multiplayer online game for mobile or with developer MZ (Game of War, Mobile Strike) as well as Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius with A-lim and Gumi (Brave Frontier).

Since Brave Exvius’s launch in Japan, the game has been downloaded 20 million times. According to App Annie, Brave Exvius ranks No. 110 in the U.S. Apple App Store for adventure games and No. 32 in the U.S. Google Play Store for role-playing games. Brave Exvius hasn’t been a blow-out success like the recent Final Fantasy XV on console, which became the fastest-selling game in the series when it was released in November 2016 and was considered to be a return to top form.
