Final Fantasy XV ’s holiday pack is now available just in time for the merriest day of the year.

Two versions of the Final Fantasy 15 holiday pack are available. The first version is free for everyone. It includes the following:

  • Warrior's Fanfare – A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Offense outside of training.

  • Nixperience Band – A device that stops experience points from being tallied, preventing the party from leveling up for an added challenge.

  • Carnival Passport – An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.

  • Choco-Mog Tee (available late January) – An exclusive T-shirt featuring everyone’s favorite fluffy and feathery friends. Colorful, comfy and appropriate for any carnival-goer.

The second version, Holiday Pack+, is only available to Season Pass holders. It contains the following items:

  • Ring of Resistance – A protective piece of jewelry that renders the entire party to be resistant to magical friendly fire.

  • Tech Turbocharger – A device for Noctis that accelerates the tech bar replenishment rate, but freezes the Armiger bar.

  • Armiger Accelerator – A device for Noctis that accelerates the Armiger bar replenishment rate, but freezes the tech bar.

  • Blitzer's Fanfare – A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Time outside of training.

  • Tactician's Fanfare – A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Finesse outside of training.

  • Key of Prosperity – A lucky charm that increases the rate at which fallen foes leave behind items of value.

  • Stamina Badge – A device that enables Noctis to sprint and hang without expending stamina.

  • Carnival Passport – An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.

  • Festive Ensemble (available late January) – A fancy and fun outfit perfectly suited for enjoying the festivities. The darling design puts all who see it in high spirits.

  • Holiday Pack + Exclusive Photo Frames (available late January) – Additional themes the player can add to Prompto's photos when sharing over social media.

It’s important to note that Holiday Pack+ does not include the items in the free Holiday Pack; both must be downloaded separately. Holiday Pack+ cannot be purchased separately and is only available to those who have purchased the Season Pass or Premium Edition (which includes the Season Pass). The free Holiday pack is an automatic update for players, but Premium Edition/Season Pass holders will need to manually download their Holiday Pack+.

While it’s unclear how long the Holiday Packs will be available, if you wait to purchase until after January, you’ll miss out on the Carnival in January 2017. The Carnival and costumes will not be available until then, though the passport will appear in your inventory under Key Items.

REVIEW SUMMARY
Final Fantasy XV
8.5
Combat, Plot, Characters Create Something Flawed, Beautiful, Fantastic
Despite it's flaws, Final Fantasy XV is a milestone achievement: not just for being completed, but for being completed with polish, aplomb and love.
  • Engaging main cast of characters
  • Fun, fast-paced combat
  • A massive, beautiful world to explore
  • The Regalia!
  • Continuous updates have addressed some shortcomings of the initial release
  • Major aspects of the story feel rushed or absent, particularly toward the end of the game
  • Stealth sequences feel out of place
