Mere hours ahead of Square Enix’s “Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV” event tonight in Los Angeles, GameSpot posted and then set to private a video (back-up here ) that revealed a September 30 release date for the much -delayed and highly anticipated Final Fantasy XV .

Square Enix will be releasing a demo of Final Fantasy XV following young Prince Noctis through a dreamscape, allowing players who complete the demo to gain exclusive access to a Carbuncle summon. (Here’s hoping the rocks look as good as promised .)

Watch leaked footage for the Final Fantasy XV demo below, which includes Kid Noctis gameplay and a foxy-looking Carbuncle:

Square Enix’s formal plans for announcing Final Fantasy XV release date details include the special “Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV” event at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at 10 PM EST. Also on the table for “Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV” include the game’s price, what comes with the game, and name and details of the upcoming Final Fantasy XV demo.

Square Enix is streaming “Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV” on YouTube and Twitch , so if you want whatever deets haven’t already been leaked , give the stream a watch.

Final Fantasy XV will see a global simultaneous launch , possibly have airships , definitely include hugs , and feature battle modes rather than difficulty levels.

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
