The original creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and the current lead producer, Yoshinori Kitase, announced in an interview with Famitsu a new original Final Fantasy entry that goes back to the series roots. That game is titled Mevius Final Fantasy.
The game is being developed in-house and is, yes, a mobile game. It's slated to be released Spring 2015 for the iOS and Android. According to Kitase, the game will take on a more classic feel like the original Final Fantasy. There will be features like map exploration - although moving across said map will be automated - tactical battles, and a leveling system. The game itself will focus on the "Warrior of Light" theme to pay respects to the roots Sakaguchi created.
