Whoops. After promising to bring you lot the latest Final Fantasy XV livestream last week, we've ended up missing it completely. The newest Active Time Report - in which Square Enix shares details on its upcoming role-playing game - has already aired in Japan earlier today, which, to be fair, probably means that it would have been too early in the morning for many of you to catch anyway. Excuses, excuses.
Anyway, the good news is that you didn't miss much. According to Siliconera, the stream focussed on recapping the events of Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, but a couple of reasonably interesting tidbits were revealed all the same.
For starters, it was confirmed that Final Fantasy XV will feature a New Game+ mode, allowing you to carry progress over to a new save once you've finished your initial run - although no specific details on what you can actually transfer to a fresh game were given. As long as the adventure's a whole lot of fun, we'll never say no to New Game+.
Moving away from the title itself, Square Enix stated that the Ultimate Collector's Edition of the release is being restocked in Japan at some point. This could potentially mean that it'll make a return in other regions, too, but we wouldn't bet the farm on it.
The next Active Time Report will take place around E3 in June, but will you be keeping your eyes peeled? Completely forget about livestreams in the comments section below.

I am really looking forward to this game but at this point I feel like they need to stop talking about it for awhile. It almost feels over saturated, if that is possible in this modern age of gaming. I say keep it under wraps for a long while and then blast out a new trailer at E3 and let that simmer.
I hope this game does well sales wise. Tabata has admitted (kudos to him) that they know fans weren't happy with the XIII series and that FFXV is a make or break game for the Final Fantasy series.
New game + is cool, so the first time you can just play without worrying too much about missing stuff.
@Majic12 Nah, they will keep the hype rolling now until launch. There's no point in going big and then shutting up again. It might annoy some people but not enough to not buy the game, so they might as well keep going with it to attract an even bigger audience.
@kyleforrester87 @Majic12 as Kyle said, they can't go too long or people will start talking delay. They took the quiet approach to the extreme for 8-9 years so they want to keep steady info coming. But I will not read much of it because i am hyped!
@Feena That's a good point actually, and one I usually forget when ranting about why most games should have New Game+. It definitely takes away a lot of the pressure that comes with seeing everything a game has to offer in one playthrough.
