Final Fantasy Grandmasters was a mobile MMORPG spin-off of Final Fantasy XI, developed by CROOZ and published by Square Enix. It saw a Japan-only release on September 30, 2015 for iOS and Android following a closed beta that summer.[1] Part of the "Vana'diel Project", it was initially meant to be a tie-in with Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, at the time meant to be the final major scenario pack for FFXI, and a separate mobile remake of the original MMO called Final Fantasy XI R in development from Nexon, then scheduled for release in 2016.[2] However, the remake became vaporware, with Grandmasters the only additional game to be released. It was shut down on April 25, 2019.[3]

Taking place in the same fictional world of Vana'diel, the game involved players creating a character as a Hume (human) or one of four other fantasy races, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra, and Galka, all depicted with chibi character models. The player traveled the world by airship in a quest to become the strongest "Grandmaster" adventurer. Meant to give a similar experience as the original game, players could select from a variety of jobs for their character, and engage in cooperative multiplayer battles against enemies, while communicating with other players using an in-game chat.[4]
