This game was released on November 29, 2016 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.
Final Fantasy XV is the latest installment in the highly popular Japanese action RPG franchise. The game puts the player into the shoes of Noctis Lucis Caelum, the heir to the kingdom of Lucis, which is the last nation to possess a Crystal. Other countries in the gameâs world â a single landmass called Eos â have been conquered by the technologically-advanced Empire of Niflheim, which now threatens Lucis as well.
Final Fantasy XV features vast, open environments which can be explored on foot, using partyâs car, or chocobos, with loading screens only appearing when entering towns. The game uses a seamless, real-time battle system called AXB (Active X Battle); the players only control the protagonist, Noctis, but can issue commands to their companions.

âReclaim Your Throneâ trailer
The game underwent numerous changes during its bumpy development history spanning ten years, but it finally has a release date. Final Fantasy XV will hit the market on November 29, 2016. The latest delay was reportedly in order to bring up the quality and avoid subjecting the players to a large a day-one patch.

GameStop now has an exclusive bonus game âA Kingâs Tale: Final Fantasy XVâ. No idea how meaty or small this is but it looks to be a classic-style RPG with XVâs setting but 30 years prior to the main game.
