News Final Fantasy XV's Story Was Purposefully Left Incomplete
Noct like this
It probably doesn't come as a surprise, but we here at Push Square are divided on Final Fantasy XV and the story that it tries to tell. Some of us think it's done well enough to at least be enjoyable, while others reckon that it's a shambles. We could go on and on about the game's flaws and its inability to please everyone, but...

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.

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.
