War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius International Version Officially Closed

A Sad Farewell to a Legendary Tactical RPG

The international version of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is officially closing down, marking the end of an era for one of the most beloved tactical RPGs on mobile platforms. Square Enix has confirmed that the global servers will be permanently shut down on May 29, 2025, leaving fans of the game with only a few months left to enjoy its vast content and intricate gameplay.

The decision comes as part of a larger trend, where many Final Fantasy mobile games have recently been discontinued. The Japanese version, however, will continue operations, allowing players in Japan to enjoy the game beyond the international shutdown.

The Timeline of Shutdown: Key Dates to Remember

Square Enix has outlined a structured timeline leading up to the final closure of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Here are the most important dates that players need to be aware of:

• March 25, 2025 – Visiore, the premium in-game currency, will no longer be available for purchase.
• March 25, 2025 – The Special Shop will shut down, preventing players from making any further in-game purchases with real money.
• May 29, 2025 – The global servers will be completely shut down, and all game data will be permanently deleted.

These dates are crucial for players who wish to make the most of their remaining time in the game, whether by using up their stored Visiore or completing any unfinished quests and events.

What Happens to Player Accounts and Purchases?

Once the servers go offline, all player data will be deleted permanently. This includes account information, game progress, character levels, and in-game purchases. Square Enix has not announced any compensation plan for existing players, so anyone who has unspent premium currency should use it before the shutdown date.

Despite the closure of the global version, the Japanese version will continue to operate normally. However, there is no official method for international players to transfer their accounts to the Japanese servers.

The Legacy of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

Since its global launch in March 2020, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has built a dedicated community of tactical RPG enthusiasts. Featuring stunning graphics, deep strategic gameplay, and an engaging storyline, the game offered an experience that rivaled even traditional console-based Final Fantasy titles.

One of the game’s biggest highlights was its collaborations with major Final Fantasy franchises, bringing iconic characters such as Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, and Sephiroth into the world of War of the Visions. These collaborations helped the game attract a diverse player base, many of whom remained loyal until the very end.

Recent In-Game Events and Final Content Updates

Despite the upcoming shutdown, Square Enix has ensured that players get to enjoy some final in-game events before the servers go offline. Notably, in December 2024, the game featured an exclusive collaboration event with Final Fantasy XIV, introducing beloved characters such as Thancred and Y’shtola. The event also included special cosmetic items based on characters Mont and Macherie, giving players one last chance to enjoy unique crossover content.

The game’s final content updates will focus on giving players a sense of closure, though it remains uncertain whether the main storyline will be completely wrapped up before the shutdown.

The Future of Final Fantasy Mobile Games

The closure of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is part of a larger trend where many Final Fantasy mobile games have been discontinued in recent years. Most notably, its predecessor, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, was also shut down globally in October 2024.

As of now, the only major Final Fantasy mobile game that remains in operation worldwide is Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis. This game continues to receive updates and support, making it the last remaining global Final Fantasy mobile experience available to fans.

Final Thoughts: A Farewell to a Masterpiece

The shutdown of the international version of War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius marks the end of a significant chapter in mobile RPG history. With its engaging combat mechanics, breathtaking art style, and deep narrative, the game was more than just a mobile spinoff—it was a full-fledged Final Fantasy experience that resonated with fans worldwide.

As we approach the final days of the game, we encourage all players to revisit their favorite quests, spend their remaining Visiore, and take one last journey through the world of War of the Visions. While this chapter may be closing, the memories and experiences shared by the community will live on forever.
