The War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius memorial movie is 1.5 hours long

Yeah, precisely 95 minutes. It gives us a long look back at everything the game has built over the years. We revisit the wars and political conflicts across the continent of Ardra, along with the story surrounding the twin princes of Leonis.

It also pulls together emotional character moments, cinematic cutscenes, and appearances from fan-favourite heroes and villains. Also, the video replays some of the game’s large-scale summon animations, including Shiva and Odin.

It ends with goodbye messages from the developers. Maybe you’d want to watch it for yourself? Here’s the War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius memorial movie from the game’s official YouTube channel.

Did you play the game?

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius was a tactical role-playing game that first launched in Japan in November 2019. The global version followed in March 2020. Co-developed by Square Enix and Gumi, it was published by Square Enix for iOS and Android devices.

The project acted as a spin-off of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. It also took heavy inspiration from the Final Fantasy Tactics series, especially The War of the Lions. In March 2025, Square Enix announced that the global version would end service on May 29th, 2025. The Japanese version continued operating for another year before now ending on May 28th, 2026.

Community reactions following the shutdown and the release of the memorial movie have been a mix of nostalgia, frustration, and exhaustion with live-service mobile games. A lot of players said they genuinely loved the game’s art direction, soundtrack, tactical combat, and overall connection to the larger Final Fantasy Brave Exvius universe.
