News Final Fantasy XV's Going to Grace Us with Its Presence at PAX
How lucky we are
After its almost worthless Gamescom 2015 showing, it's perhaps good news that Final Fantasy XV's going to present its perfectly sculpted face at PAX later this month. Square Enix has revealed that a new Active Time Report will be broadcast during the expo on its Twitch channel. Starting at 16:30PM PDT on the 29th August - that's...
Weirdness What if Final Fantasy VII Was a Beat-'em-Up?
Take this, Buster
Every game would be better if it was Streets of Rage – and that includes Push Square's greatest of all time, Final Fantasy VII. Fortunately, Singapore-based studio PD Design has cottoned on to this, repurposing Square Enix's classic PSone role-playing release as a beat-'em-up. In the video below, you'll see the spiky haired Cloud...
News Story Is the Most Important Part of Final Fantasy XV, Says Director
Four guys and a car
It's obviously far too early to say whether or not Final Fantasy XV will deliver in the story department, but given the series' history - barring a couple of outliers - you'd at least expect a decent narrative filled with likeable characters. Someone who wants this to be the case more than anyone else is Hajime Tabata, the game's...
News Final Fantasy XV's Release Date Will Be Worldwide

Cloud nine
We, along with the rest of the Push Square community, were screaming like little girls when Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced for the PlayStation 4 during Sony's jaw-dropping E3 2015 press conference.

Gamescom 2015 We Hope You're Not Betting on Final Fantasy XV Getting a Release Date Today
Call off the party
At the time of writing, we're just twenty or so minutes away from Final Fantasy XV's Gamescom 2015 livestream.

Many were hoping that the title...
Gamescom 2015 10 Years Later and the 'Story Begins' with Final Fantasy XV's Dawn Trailer
Shed a tear
We're not sure what to make of Final Fantasy XV's Gamescom 2015 trailer. On the one hand, yes, it is actually a new look at the game. On the other, it doesn't really show much at all. Featuring a young Noctis and his regretful father, it's a pretty emotional clip, but it's hard not to feel like we need something more at this point. With...
Guide What Time Are the EA, Final Fantasy XV, and Call of Duty Gamescom 2015 Streams?
Live and kicking
Over the years, we've gotten used to Gamescom being one of the biggest weeks in the gaming calendar for PlayStation.

The decision seemed sound at the time, with

E3 2015 So, What Is World of Final Fantasy on PS4 and Vita Exactly?
Final Fantasy for a new generation
When it was first unveiled at Sony's E3 2015 press conference, no one was quite sure what to make of the cutesy World of Final Fantasy.

E3 2015 Final Fantasy VII's PS4 Remake May Not Be Exactly How You Remember It
Growing pains
Many of you probably have the plot of Final Fantasy VII memorised, but Square Enix has hinted that the release's PlayStation 4 remake – which was announced earlier this week to rapturous response – could deviate from the original story.

Say it ain't so
We're not sure about you, but we're finding it pretty difficult to maintain hype for the PlayStation 4 port of Final Fantasy VII.

Wait what
We have no words, only feelings. In an announcement that was rumoured, but we couldn't possibly believe, Final Fantasy VII is being remade on PlayStation 4.
