News Just Cause 3 Is Borderline Broken on PS4 Right Now
FYI
We'd heard anecdotally that Just Cause 3's latest patch made its framerate that little bit worse, but nothing could have prepared us for footage of the foray in action. This clip – captured directly from a PlayStation 4 using the share button – shows just how dire the destructive adventure is these days, as the title practically...
Rumour Lara Croft's Rise of the Tomb Raider Rushes PS4 on 11th October
And it may not be cheap
Ex-Xbox One exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider will purportedly shimmy to the PlayStation 4 on 11th October, assuming that a product listing on the Italian arm of GameStop is accurate. The date's a Tuesday which isn't necessarily in line with typical European releases, but publisher Square Enix may be planning a simultaneous...
News You'll Be Taming These Adorable Monsters in World of Final Fantasy
Ramuh, Ifrit, Shiva, and Odin all join the party
Seeking the aid of classic Final Fantasy monsters and summons plays a big part in World of Final Fantasy, and the role-playing game's latest Japanese trailer gives us a better look at some of the potential allies that you'll meet on your journey. 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 Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Will Rise on PS4 This Holiday
But still no firm date
The saga of Rise of the Tomb Raider continues – well, sort of. Despite not being mentioned at E3 2016 last month, Square Enix has reiterated in a Q&A that the game is still on track for release later this year on the PlayStation 4. According to Crystal Dynamics via an admin on the publisher's
Hands On Seeking the Light in Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
Saving the best for last
It's no secret that the Kingdom Hearts series has transformed into quite a meandering and occasionally confusing beast. After 2005's Kingdom Hearts II, the series spread itself across three additional platforms and continued telling side stories that expanded the lore, but never strictly progressed it any further than where...
Review Adventures of Mana (PS Vita)
Magic moment
If you're on the market for an old school action role-playing game that'll keep you reasonably entertained for a good few hours, you can't really go wrong with Adventures of Mana. Released on mobile devices earlier this year, it's a remake of Game Boy title Final Fantasy Adventure – or Mystic Quest as it was known in Europe. Despite...
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 Pre-Order Old School RPG I Am Setsuna and Get Some Lovely PS4 Themes
Winter's coming
Square Enix has revealed that those who pre-order I Am Setsuna via the PlayStation Store will nab two dynamic themes. As you can see from the images that we've embedded, one depicts a snowy night, while the other showcases a bright but still snowy day. Unsurprisingly, both themes look rather lovely. If you haven't been keeping up...
News Square Enix RPG Adventures of Mana Stealth Releases on PS Vita Today
Life is just a fantasy
No doubt a nice little surprise for some of you: Adventures of Mana has hit the PlayStation Store today on Vita in Europe with, as far as we know, zero warning from publisher Square Enix. The 3D remake of Game Boy classic Final Fantasy Adventure, it's a relatively simple action role-playing game that's cute and colourful...
Review Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (PS4)
Lacking integrity?
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness gets off to a bad start. Text-based tutorials greet you from the off, and you're quickly shuttled from one place to another with very little reasoning or context. Early on you'll realise that this game wants things to move quickly, and this only becomes clearer as you progress through the...
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 Here's Your Last Look at Star Ocean Before it Launches on PS4
Shooting star
After months and months of adding a '5' to the end of Star Ocean, we've only just realised that the Western release isn't numbered - it's just called Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness. Whoops. Anyway, this launch trailer is likely your last chance to spy new gameplay before the role-playing game hits store shelves in just over a...
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,...
News Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4's Still Holed Up in Croft Manor
Lara, where are yer?
You know the story by now: Microsoft paid to delay Rise of the Tomb Raider for a year on the PlayStation 4, with the action adventure due out on Sony's system in late 2016. As big fans of the franchise, we've actually been eagerly awaiting a release date for the critically acclaimed sequel, but it just won't come. We thought...
E3 2016 Final Fantasy XII Is Being Rebalanced for PS4 Remaster
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 Who'd Have Ever Thought NieR Would Get a Sequel That Actually Looks Good?
C'mon, be honest
We'll probably get nailed to a wooden cross for this, but the perspective at Push Square Towers is that Scalebound – despite being directed by the legendary Hideki Kamiya – looks like total dross. And yes, before you start bleating in the comments, we'd say the same if it was a PlayStation 4 game. The good news is that Platinum...
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...

Want to see a bit more of upcoming movie tie-in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV?

With crowded markets, labyrinthine streets, and plenty of interiors to explore,...
