News Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Collector's Edition Doesn't Include the Season Pass
Wait what
There's something a bit dodgy going on here, isn't there?

News Final Fantasy XV Buckles Up Until 29th November on PS4
Phoenix down
Remember when Square Enix put on a massive press conference to announce the release date for Final Fantasy XV?

Noctis again
Holy moly, there's a headline that we never expected to write again.

Blah blah blah
Dialogue options are talking their way into Final Fantasy XV - is there anything that this game doesn't have?

Your choice will, unsurprisingly, alter how things play out, although we doubt that they'll ever have...

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.

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.

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.

Noct like this
