Diffusion Million Arthur from Square Enix ended up on the Japanese 3DS eShop in October 2014. In two months, service for the free-to-play title will end.

Players will no longer be able to buy MiraCoins as of September 30. That will of course be followed up with the full closure on October 31. As for the reasoning behind Diffusion Million Arthur’s closure on 3DS, Square Enix feels that it will be difficult to continue providing a satisfactory experience to users.
