If you’ve been paying attention to Final Fantasy XV news you’ll know that there was a pretty event event planned for today. This event took place at a terrible time locally but my goodness was it worth it for those locally who woke up at 4 am to watch it were handsomely rewarded, even if a lot of the meat of the presentation was leaked before hand.

Before we get into any of the juicy details, why not enjoy this incredible trailer.

After that, I’m more than ready to reclaim the throne.

So first of all, after the 10 year wait, we’ll finally be getting Final Fantasy XV on the 30th of September. This is a worldwide release date so you don’t have to worry about dodging spoilers while you wait for the localisation, like every other JRPG that is being release.

On top of that, if you want to have a bit of a taste of Final Fantasy XV before release, why not head over to your PS4 or Xbox One and download the standalone game, the Platinum Demo. The Platinum Demo’s content hasn’t been torn out of the final product, but is rather a bit of a prequel that puts you in control of young Noctis. This is a bit of a primer for Final Fatntasy XV and will unlock some content for the the final game.

Now this brings an end to what was confirmed by the leaks prior to the event, but thank goodness there was a lot more left to surprise fans.

So if you’ve been getting in to the world of Final Fantasy XV you’ll be pleased to know that there will be an anime, titled Brotherhood: Final Fantasy, that will flesh out the backstory of our four main characters. This five part anime series will conclude just before the release of the game come September 30th and you can check out the trailer below.

Now if that tickled your fancy, you’ll be pleased to know that the first episode is available for free on YouTube right now. You can check it out here if you want to get yourself immersed in the world of Final Fantasy XV immediately.

But what if you were looking for a feature-length film based on the game? Well you’ll be pleased to know that the team behind Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children have been working on Kingsglaive for three years, a Final Fantasy XV CGI movie that will feature the voices of Lena Headey, Sean Bean and Aaron Paul. Yes the Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad. This movie will focus on Luna and Regis and will take place during the game.

This is already a lot of Final Fantasy XV being thrown at us, but I’m sure you all have some room for a little more.

So lastly, in terms of huge announcements that is, there will also be a pinball-styled mini-game called Justice Monster Five that will be made available on Android, iOS and Windows 10 before the games released. As seen in the trailer below, the game makes up a fun pastime for the Final Fantasy XV party and looks to be pretty interesting in its own regard.

And that’s about it for all the major announcements but the event covered so much more than just this. In all honesty, while I have been excited for the game, it has always felt like a pipe-dream. This event however has cemented its existence and, in all honesty, everything about it looks incredible. The only thing that I don’t really like is there seems to be a lot of story for the game being shown outside of the game, which isn’t really the worst problem to have.

If you want to check out the entire event, check out the video below.

The best person to offer the worst opinion. Paul's interests include adding 100 hour JRPGs to his backlog and dark walks through dungeons. You'll probably find him rambling on about old man Nintendo or that crazy newfangled eSports thingy.
