With the supposedly upcoming Final Fantasy XV starting to feel as fictional as the Loch Ness monster, it was hard to get excited about the announcement of Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PlayStation 4. Even with the news that the port has been in the works for some time, staff and readers alike were still taking bets on what year, let alone month, the title would actually see the light of day. However, if an accidental slip up is true, it could be much sooner than any of us expected.
Over on the Square Enix Twitter account, an advertisement that the title was available to pre-order along with a store link appeared. While the page was later pulled down, we doubt that it was merely the accidental slip of an overexcited intern trying to see what they could get away with during a World Cup game. While retailers sometimes mess up and list titles that still don't have a release window – we're looking at you The Last Guardian – such botch ups aren't common on a publisher's own shop. Of course, this doesn't mean that the game is necessarily ready to go right now, but it's doubtful that we'll be waiting years for the oft demanded adventure.
Do you think that we'll finally be tucking into this game imminently, or is it still too far out of reach? Write your letter to Santa in the comments section below.

Cool, this would be a great Holiday gift for PS4/X1 FF fans.
I think they probably would have announced it if it was coming this year, personally. The pre-order page may signal that it's closer than we think, though. Hopefully it comes out next year.
Why would you want it to be released next year, i understand some games are best to be released without being "rushed".
Christmas 2016 maybe.
o hope so but this is square so I doubt it
Square Enix? Holiday 2014? Mircales do happen...
Thinks about Final Fantasy XV... Nope.
I don't see why it would be a long way off its not like they are making a fresh game starting from scratch
@get2sammyb It sets me as hopeful for a Q1/Q2 2015 release rather than Late 2015.
@ReigningSemtex Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster.
I did say 2015 if it's not a major overhaul.
This Christmas?
Square Enix: Did we say we were releasing it in the West? What we meant was...Western Japan. Sorry.
It'd be awesome if it were released near Christmas this year but like some others already stated it'll probably be early next year. I never even knew this game existed so I'll be all over it when it releases though.
Was this a Vita game or PSP? I'm wondering just how much work was put into it...seems like it should only cost $40 at most if it's a handheld port especially a PSP one.
@T7L3R Its a HD remaster of the PSP title. If their shop page was anything to go by, it was listed at the standard price of a PS4 game.
Wait this is going to be retail? Thought this was just ging to be a digital only game.
@T7L3R
I pre ordered it through Best Buy's website. Listed for full MSRP of $59.99, although GCU members get it for $47.99. Still, to answer your question- yes, it appears to be full price. Then again, sometimes those prices are subject to change once the release date draws closer. Time will tell, but for now I'd just assume it's going to be $60.
This could be a good holiday release. So what exactly is the game anyway, a strategy game?
@NicolaHayden @JaxonH I was betting on a price similar to the FFX/X2 remaster but maybe they think it'll sell at that price since it's never been released over here.
@Jaz007
I read the gameplay is similar to Crisis Core. If that's the case, I'm actually slightly interested in this game as I was a big fan of CC: FF VII.
Before porting this to the west, I'd like for SE to port Final Fantasy XI to the 3DS and Vita. MMO on the go? Yes, please.
