News No, Final Fantasy VII Remake's Battles Aren't Turn Based
Nomura clarifies
In case you missed them, Square Enix released some Final Fantasy VII Remake screenshots last month, and the presence of an ATB gauge got people especially excited. Why? Well, such a thing suggests that the battle system is somewhat turn based much like the original, but according to director Tetsuya Nomura, that isn't the case...
News Final Fantasy XV's Gladiolus DLC Will Be Playable at PAX East 2017
First look
We've barely seen more than a couple of seconds of Final Fantasy XV's first proper DLC add-on Episode Gladiolus, but expect a lot more this weekend as the title will be playable at PAX East 2017. The expansion will be joined by Dragon Quest Heroes II, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, and NieR: Automata. Here's the full lineup: PAX East...
Review A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV (PS4)
King Regis takes to the Streets of Rage
Final Fantasy XV is anything but straightforward, both in terms of its development and how it's been presented and released to the public. The Kingsglaive movie felt like a mandatory aspect of the main game – a separately packaged alternative to the traditional Final Fantasy opening sequence, and an...
News A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV Now Available For Free on PS4
King me

News Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladiolus Is Priced at Just $4.99 Without the Season Pass
Good deal or sign of disappointment?
So, it turns out that Episode Gladiolus, Final Fantasy XV's first 'real' slice of downloadable content, will only set you back $4.99 if you don't own the season pass. On the one hand, that's a pretty low price, but on the other, does this suggest that we shouldn't really be getting our hopes up for these...

2017, anyone?
Fresh from the latest teasing images of Final Fantasy VII Remake at the weekend, producer Yoshinori Kitase has also revealed in this week's issue of Japanese gaming magazine Dengeki PlayStation that the voice-work for the remake is nearing completion.

News A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV Slashes onto PS4 For Free in March
Take back the throne
Remember A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV? Announced before Final Fantasy XV released, the 2D sidescrolling beat-'em-up was available as a GameStop pre-order bonus, but once the main title launched, we admittedly heard very little about the additional adventure. Fortunately, if you've been interested in trying A King's Tale for...

News 70% of Final Fantasy XV's Team Is Still Focused on the Game
Working on DLC, updates, and PlayStation VR
A whopping 70 per cent of the original Final Fantasy XV team is still working on the game, raising the question: why?

News Wait, Dissidia Final Fantasy Is Confirmed for PS4?
Producer casually mentions console version
Okay, so did we completely miss something, or has Dissidia Final Fantasy - that's the new one that's currently only available in Japanese arcades - always been confirmed for release on consoles? Given that it's essentially a PlayStation 4 title to begin with, we always assumed that it'd be arriving on...
News Final Fantasy XV's Worst Chapter Is Getting Improved
Unlucky number
If you've played Final Fantasy XV for a reasonable length of time, then you'll be all too familiar with the woes of Chapter 13. The momentum sapping sequence is comfortably one of the worst portions of the game, owing to the fact that it randomly decides to change the entire tone of the experience, swapping out open world gallivanting...

News What the Hell's Going on with Final Fantasy XV's PlayStation VR Thing?
Luna landing
Way back at E3 2016, Sony announced that there'd be a PlayStation VR experience releasing for Final Fantasy XV. Some parts of the media even got to play it – unsurprisingly, the feedback was not positive – but we haven't seen sight nor sound of it since. So what the heck's going on? Has it been cancelled in favour of Moogle Chocobo...
News Square Enix Has Thought About a Final Fantasy VI Remake
Don't give them ideas
Final Fantasy VI is an incredible role-playing game - one of the best in the series, as far as we're concerned - but a lot of the time, it gets pushed aside in favour of the 3D titles that succeeded it. Square Enix hasn't completely forgotten about Terra and her 2D adventure, however, as Final Fantasy VII Remake producer...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake Still Has a Long, Long Way to Go Before Release
SOLDIER on
Square Enix dropped a new piece of Final Fantasy VII Remake key art earlier this week, reassuring fans that, you know, it still exists and everything.

News Final Fantasy VII Is 20 Years Old Today
Still one of the best
Final Fantasy VII launched for the original PlayStation on the 31st January 1997 in Japan - which means that it's 20 years old today. Time certainly flies, doesn't it?

Hands On Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival Is Fun for All of Five Minutes
At least you can get in for free
We didn't have high hopes for Final Fantasy XV's first real slice of additional content, and to be brutally honest, it feels like we've wasted an hour of our life just giving it a try. The Moogle Chocobo Carnival, which is only available for a limited amount of time, redecorates the city of Altissia with colourful...
News Final Fantasy XV Will Be Geeking Out with a Monster Encyclopedia Update
Beastly
Final Fantasy XV has some brilliant monster designs. From herds of wild animals to raging demons, the game's got beasts to cover every base, and they're all great to look at.

News Final Fantasy XV Original Soundtrack Is Getting a Worldwide Release
Score
Although Final Fantasy XV's soundtrack doesn't quite measure up to the classics - as far as we're concerned, anyway - it's still a darn good listen, especially with that boss theme thrown into the mix. Yeah, you know the one. Anyway, a physical edition of the soundtrack, spread across four discs, has been available to buy in Japan since last...
News Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival Is Just the Dumbest Thing
Why?
Ever wondered why Final Fantasy XV took over a decade to make? It's because of dumb sh*t like the Moogle Chocobo Carnival.

Kweh
Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival is incoming, and it's safe to say that we know basically bugger all about it. Will it add a bunch of fun-for-about-five-minutes minigames to the release? Will it bring more boring fetch quests to keep Noct and the boys busy? We couldn't tell you right now, but at least we should be getting some answers...
News Final Fantasy XV PS4 Patch Adds More Photographing Features
Say cheese
Final Fantasy XV's getting a free PlayStation 4 patch on 24th January which will add some new features, including a so-called "self-photographing" mechanic which will allow you to freely take snaps outside of battle. This means that rather than rely on Prompto's clumsy Canon control, you'll be able to point his lens wherever you like –...
News Here's Your First Look at Final Fantasy XV's Moogle Chocobo Carnival

News Nintendo Supposedly Shunned Square Following Final Fantasy VII's Move to PlayStation
Final straw
Final Fantasy VII was a landmark release not just for Japanese role-playing games, but for the PlayStation brand itself.

As many of you will know, Square actually shifted its focus to the original...
News Some of These Plans for Final Fantasy XV Sound Insane
Character creation, improved final chapters, and more
Final Fantasy XV is a very ambitious game - sometimes for the worse. It can feel like a title that's been pieced together using countless ideas and concepts, and not all of them work as well as they should. It's slightly mad, then, that Square Enix seemingly wants to add so much more to its...
News We Wouldn't Bet on Final Fantasy VII Remake Releasing in 2017
Or Kingdom Hearts III
It's time to drag those dreams into reality: Final Fantasy VII Remake probably isn't launching this year. The project was originally announced at Sony's E3 press conference back in 2015, but aside from one gameplay trailer, we've seen very little of Cloud and the gang's high def revival. In an interview with Famitsu,...

Poll Who Is the Best Final Fantasy Protagonist?
Let's settle this
You know, we had concerns about Noctis as a likeable character before Final Fantasy XV released, but now that we've finished the game and had time to think about it, we reckon Noct's actually a pretty good protagonist. But how does the immaculately groomed lead stand up to the heroes of Final Fantasy's past? Well, that's what we're...

Costumes, accessories, and New Game+

Sign of the times

From Final Fantasy VII to Final Fantasy XIII, every numbered single player release has shifted at leas
News Free Updates Will Enhance Final Fantasy XV's Story, Apparently
Fair enough
Final Fantasy XV is a weird one, isn't it?
