News Stunning CG Movie Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV Hits Theatres 19th August
And it actually looks good
As the anti-weeb on the Push Square team, you may well be expecting this article to be laced with snark – but no, Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV actually looks alright. The spin-off movie based upon the long-overdue role-playing game will hit select US theatres on 19th August, and then will be followed by a digital release...
News Square Enix Is Selling Japanese Voices for World of Final Fantasy as Special Edition DLC
Really?
World of Final Fantasy is getting a reasonably robust collector's edition on PlayStation 4.

Also included is a slew of bonus in-game content, including a Sephiroth summon,...
News World of Final Fantasy May Be a Spin-Off, But It Definitely Shouldn't Be Ignored
Step aside, Noctis
The more that we see of World of Final Fantasy, the more we begin to think that this cutesy little role-playing release could be one of the property's best products in quite some time. With the game due out near the end of October, it's no surprise that it's currently being overshadowed by Final Fantasy XV, but we'd urge you to at...
News Final Fantasy XV Has Dialogue Options
Blah blah blah
Dialogue options are talking their way into Final Fantasy XV - is there anything that this game doesn't have? As Noctis, you'll be able to choose how he responds during specific conversations both within and outside of the main story. Your choice will, unsurprisingly, alter how things play out, although we doubt that they'll ever have...
News The Final Fantasy XV Movie Has Done Pretty Well in Japan So Far
It's had a positive reception, too
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV is a big investment for Square Enix; the movie is tied directly to the upcoming role-playing game, and features some stunning visuals as well as an expensive English voice cast. Fortunately, for the publisher, the flick seems to be off to a decent start in Japan. It's grossed...

The video includes the likes of Cactuar and Tonberry,...
News You Can Reverse Final Fantasy XV's Cover to Give it that Classic Look
Just the logo, thanks
Having grown up with more traditional Final Fantasy games over the years, it's no real surprise that we here at Push Square prefer the classical approach to the series' cover art. We don't want Lightning's moody mug staring into our souls - give us that lovely logo and the white background, thanks. Of course, in predictable...
News World of Final Fantasy Looks Like a Lot of Fun in Fresh PS4 Screenshots
It's all so nice
The more we see of World of Final Fantasy, the more we're convinced that it's going to be a heart-warming little game. The title's latest PlayStation 4 screenshots show off towns, characters, moogles, and cosy looking airships. The project's cutesy aesthetic won't be for everyone, of course, but we have to admit the world that's on...
News High-Definition Kefka Makes Us Desperate for Dissidia Final Fantasy on PS4
As evil as ever
When it comes to Final Fantasy villains, people are quick to reminisce about the likes of Sephiroth and Seifer, but those who dabbled in the majesty of the main series' final 2D instalment will always jump at the chance to remind fans of Kefka, the deliciously devilish antagonist of Final Fantasy VI. The ruthless killer clown may...
News New Final Fantasy XV Screenshots Prove It's a Preposterously Pretty PS4 Game
Perfect particles
While we may question how good Final Fantasy XV's gameplay looks, there's one thing that we simply can't deny: the game is very, very pretty - and we're not just talking about its stereotypical pretty boy cast. Square Enix has released a huge pile of fresh screenshots that showcase everything from environments to character and...
News Final Fantasy XV's Main Story Will Take You Around 50 Hours to Beat
That's a long road trip
We're sure that we've covered this in the past, but it's worth reiterating all the same following fresh comments from director Hajime Tabata. According to the Final Fantasy XV boss, who appeared on a recent Square Enix livestream, the game's main story will take you around 40-50 hours to complete, which, for the most part,...

Stats, items, and loot all getting tweaked
In case you missed the news prior to the start of the E3 avalanche, Final Fantasy XII is being remastered on PlayStation 4, and it'll include the highly praised Zodiac Job System. The superb PS2 role-playing title is, in our humble opinion, one of the best titles on Sony's last-last-gen console, so the hype...
E3 2016 This Is the Best Final Fantasy XV Video You'll See at E3
Eyes forward
Between cumbersome boss battles and crumby PlayStation VR spin-offs, Final Fantasy XV hasn't had a particularly great E3 2016. That's not stopping Square Enix from releasing one more trailer, though – and this one's the best yet. There's no music, and almost zero dialogue – just a car that can turn into an aeroplane. Watching this...
E3 2016 Final Fantasy XV Has an Optional Turn Based Battle Mode
Wait right there
We feel like we've heard about this before, but now that we've seen it in action, it seems to be far more substantial than we had previously given it credit for. During a presentation of Final Fantasy XV at E3 2016, director Hajime Tabata put the title's optional 'Wait' mode through its paces, and it honestly looks like it could add...

E3 2016 There's Another Final Fantasy XV Game Coming to PS4
How many extras does one game need?
At this point we'd love to know how much money Square Enix has pumped into Final Fantasy XV and all of its expanded universe stuff, but it looks like the Japanese publisher's not done yet. Alongside the game's release on the 30th September, you'll be able to get your hands on A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV, a...
E3 2016 Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Looks Seriously Impressive
Phwoar
Square Enix has always loved its CG, but we'd argue that this is the best looking CG production that the company's ever been involved with. Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV ties directly into Final Fantasy XV, telling the story of an elite group of soldiers fighting to defend their kingdom from an invading empire while Noctis is off driving...
E3 2016 Final Fantasy XV Is Firing onto PlayStation VR
Kind of
We're going to be honest: we don't really know what this is all about, but we're going to try and explain it to you anyway, so don't be too judgemental. Right, so Final Fantasy XV is launching on PlayStation 4 on the 30th September - we've known that for a while - and it's got a reasonably cool E3 2016 gameplay trailer which we've embedded,...
E3 2016 Final Fantasy XV Looks Really, Really Rough in Awkward New Gameplay Demo
Noct good
As predicted, Final Fantasy XV turned up at Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference - but we're not convinced that it was a good idea to come along at all. The brief boss fight that Square Enix brought to the show looked completely unfinished, disastrously awkward, and not at all fun to play. For months now, people have been questioning the...
E3 2016 Final Fantasy XV Will Apparently Appear at Microsoft's Press Conference
Noct like this
For obvious reasons, we won't be covering Microsoft's imminent E3 2016 press conference, but it's worth pointing out that Final Fantasy XV will apparently be there. If you've been keeping up over the past couple of days, you'll know that the American company's presser has been leaking like crazy, so this rumour at least seems...
E3 2016 Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Has Some Ridiculous CG

Want to see a bit more of upcoming movie tie-in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV? You're in luck if so, because IGN's got its hands on a new behind-the-scenes video that shows off some new footage - and, quite frankly, it looks ridiculous. Of course, we already knew that the project looked gorgeous - this is Square Enix and...

Before Final Fantasy Versus XII was rebranded as Final Fantasy XV, current director Hajime Tabata was brought in as head of the project to get the game back on track following years of troubled development. Would Final Fantasy XV as we know it be releasing on the 30th September without him? Probably not...

News Want to Feel Old? Final Fantasy XV was Announced 10 Years Ago Yesterday
This is no fantasy
Ten years ago yesterday, on the 8th May 2006, Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced for the PlayStation 3 at E3, and that's a difficult fact to wrap your head around. Versus XIII was officially transformed into Final Fantasy XV at E3 2013 - a whole seven years after its initial reveal. Let's just take a moment to let this sink...

Poll Would You Like to See Final Fantasy IX Come to PS4?
Tantalising Tantalus
Arguably one of the best Final Fantasy titles ever released, Final Fantasy IX is now available on PC via Steam, and we're mature enough to admit that we're seething with jealousy.

Seven heaven
Remember that hullabaloo surrounding the episodic format of Final Fantasy VII Remake?

In other words, each "episode" will probably keep you occupied for a good...
