  • FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS is a retro-styled turn-based RPG featuring pixel art and character CG.
  • The game has started a Grand Finale Campaign, and after EOS, a Memorial Edition will be released on iOS and Android.
  • First launched in 2015, the game will conclude its service in Japan after 10 years.

SQUARE ENIX has announced the shutdown of its highly popular RPG, FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS, scheduled for October 31, 2025, in Japan. First launched in 2015 and globally on June 30, 2016, the global version had already ended service on October 30, 2024, after 8 years.

For those unfamiliar, FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS is a turn-based RPG with retro pixel art and character CG. Set in the world of Lapis, you can experience an all-new story with familiar characters from the hit FINAL FANTASY series. You can explore dungeons, engage in strategic battles or PvP arenas.

Unfortunately, the FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS announced on X that the game would shutdown on October 31, 2025, in Japan, stating, “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has played FFBE for so many years since its release in 2015.“

You can look forward to trying the Memorial Edition after EOS

Following the announcement, they have disabled in-app purchases, and a Grand Finale Campaign has begun, which includes in-game events like the final chapter of the 5th season and an epilogue scenario. So, I suggest you enjoy the game to its fullest until the EOS date.

The good news is that after the game’s services end, the devs are planning to distribute a Memorial Edition, where you can see units and Vision cards on October 31. Still, it’s sad to see such an iconic title end after 10 years, with many veteran fans expressing their gratitude for the journey.
