News This Is What Dissidia Final Fantasy Would Look Like on PS4
Cloudy with a chance of Sephiroth
Remember the Dissidia Final Fantasy games back on the PSP? Featuring heroes and villains of the Final Fantasy universe, many fans demanded a home console sequel or even ports of the brawlers, but perhaps strangely, publisher Square Enix appeared to lose much of its interest in the series. Until now, that is. A...

Weirdness Final Fantasy VII Has Never Looked So Real
First class
We love a good modded console here at Push Square, and this particular PSone from modder MakoMod has certainly caught our eye. Turning the top of his machine into Final Fantasy VII's Midgar -- the daunting industrial city where the game begins -- it's the detail that really sets this creation apart. From the Shinra reactors to the slums...
Talking Point Has Persona 5's Gameplay Trailer Dulled Your Excitement for Final Fantasy XV?
Persona-lly speaking
Some wouldn't like to admit it, but it's not often that a Japanese role-playing game has the weight to make waves in the current climate of our industry – at least, not here in the West. But of course, like everything in life, when something good is destined to come along, it all comes at once. After almost a decade of as...
News There's a Final Fantasy XV Flavoured Treat in This Type-0 HD Trailer
Road trip
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD wouldn't be such a tantalising proposition without its promised Final Fantasy XV demo, and Square Enix clearly thought that it needed to throw in some fresh footage from the forthcoming sequel in order to get people to watch this trailer. You'll need to sit through a few seconds of a wailing soldier before getting...
Weirdness We'd Love to Butter Toast with These Final Fantasy-Themed Knives
They're a bit big, though
We love buttering toast when the bread is toasted to perfection, and the knife scrapes across the surface making that lovely sound. For us, this was the ultimate kitchen experience, but now, everything has changed — perfection can indeed be improved upon. And it's all thanks to knives shaped like famous Final Fantasy...
News Final Fantasy XIV's Fantastic PS4 Theme Is Now Available and Free in Europe
A theme reborn
The PlayStation 4 doesn't have a great selection of themes. The official Destiny one isn't too bad, and there are a couple of other additions to the PlayStation Store that are nice enough, but there's nothing available that we'd consider essential downloads. That's changed today, however, as the fantastic Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm...
News The Time Has Come to Compare Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on PS4 to the Original PSP Version
You knew this was coming
Where would we be without graphics comparison videos? Er, we're not entirely sure, but we certainly wouldn't be comparing the visual prowess of an upcoming PlayStation 4 release to the original PSP version. Hitting Sony's newest console this year, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD unsurprisingly looks much better than it did on the...

News Final Fantasy XV Goes Ridin' in New PS4 Screenshots
Titan fall
Unlike the snow on our doorstep, news is a little thin on the ground right now.

News You Won't Be Playing Final Fantasy XV for Its Voice Cast
Shudder
One thing that’s always put this author off JRPGs and anime in general is the diabolical dubbing, which is part of the reason why your humble host prefers the cheap skate approach employed by recent Yakuza titles and Freedom Wars. There are probably exceptions, but by and large, this scribe just doesn’t feel like English voice overs work...
News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster to Play Blitzball on PS4
Yuna you want it
Square Enix has heard your pleas for more high-definition remasters, and has responded by leaking Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster for the PlayStation 4.

News Final Fantasy VII Is Limit Breaking the PS4 Next Year
The crowd goes wild
Well, we didn't quite see that one coming. PSone classic Final Fantasy VII is heading to the PlayStation 4, although to the disappointment of many, it won't be an unrealistic remake. Instead, publisher Square Enix is bringing the PC version to Sony's latest console, and we've embedded the trailer to prove it. It's planned for a...
News Square Enix Knows When Final Fantasy XV Will Release on PS4
Probably never
Square Enix has a potential Final Fantasy XV launch window in mind, but it’s not sharing it publicly because producer Hajime Tabata fears that it “might take just a little bit longer than you’d hope for”. Considering that we’ve been waiting for this game for almost a decade now, that comment doesn’t exactly surprise us...

Weirdness Final Fantasy XV Looks Fantastic on PS4, But It'd Be Better on PSone
Low polygon fan

Live See More of Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD Right Here
The boys are back in town
Phew, we just about managed to catch this one. At 12PM BST, Square Enix will be live streaming an extended Tokyo Game Show presentation which will feature Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Type 0 HD. Sounds good, doesn't it? The only problem, though, is that we're completely unsure how 'extended' the showing will actually...

News Gulp! There's Actually No Date for Final Fantasy XV's Demo Yet
Please be excited
Final Fantasy XV’s demo was so close that we could almost smell the scent of TRESemmé on protagonist Noctis’ hair – but there’s a snag.

TGS 2014 Type-0 Companion Final Fantasy Agito Is Coming to PS Vita
Still no Type-0
When poor little Final Fantasy Agito was announced for smartphones and tablets, it was vastly ignored in the West, mainly because of its purpose as a prequel and companion game to the unreleased Final Fantasy Type-0. To add to the PlayStation 4 port announcement of the former PSP exclusive title, however, Square Enix has announced...

Rumour Could Final Fantasy Type-0 Be Out in Time for Christmas?
Festive miracle
With the supposedly upcoming Final Fantasy XV starting to feel as fictional as the Loch Ness monster, it was hard to get excited about the announcement of Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PlayStation 4.

E3 2014 Is Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Further into Production Than We Think?
Before or after The Last Guardian?
The legend of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's localisation stretches as far back as the Japanese release, following the rumours that it had been fully translated and dubbed. Two years later, with the announcement of the PlayStation 4 remake of the PlayStation Portable exclusive, it turns out that they were true. Since...

Here we Agito again

News Final Fantasy XIV Fans Gather in Memorial of Fallen Friend
Gone but not forgotten
Death in gaming is meaningless. When we fall at the feet of a particularly challenging boss or a cunning camper, typically we hit the restart button and try again. However, there are no such opportunities to respawn in real life, and so the passing of a popular Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn player this week prompted...
News PS4 Sequel Final Fantasy XV to Flaunt 'Stylish Action'

A realm revitalised
When it comes to Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn, improvement has been pivotal ever since its initial release way back in 2010.

News This Fancy Final Fantasy XIV PS4 Really Is a Limited Edition
One of a kind
Despite the recent release of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, the PlayStation 4 is starting to slump in Japan.

Review Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster (PlayStation Vita)
Love is eternal
After playing Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster, it's hard to believe that both games are now over ten years old.

It was filled with voice acting, paved a route for more linear gameplay...
