Two Square Enix mobile games, Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and Dragon Quest of the Stars, will shut down their Japanese servers on October 31, 2025. You cannot purchase anything in the games with real currency anymore [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius came out in Japan in November 2015, and the global version launched in March 2016. The global version ended in October 2024, almost exactly a year before the Japanese server will end. After Final Fantasy Brave Exvius ends, Square Enix plans to release a Memorial Version, which will let you reread the main story and access some of the archives.
During the Grand Finale for Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Square Enix will release the final chapter, as well as several story and battle events. You can also purchase original merchandise, like T-shirts and keychains. These will come out on October 31, 2025.
As for Dragon Quest of the Stars, this also came out in 2015 in Japan, and the global version came out in 2020. According to Square Enix, it had to shut down Dragon Quest of the Stars due to difficulties in production and development, and it became difficult for the team to provide a satisfying experience for the players, especially in current times with so many other competing smartphone games. To celebrate the 10th anniversary before the game ends, Dragon Quest of the Stars will give out lots of gems and legacy equipment.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and Dragon Quest of the Stars are available on mobile devices, and they’ll both shut down on October 31, 2025.
