<p>Square Enix held their Uncovered event for <em>Final Fantasy XV </em>tonight, where they finally revealed the exact day we will all be able to enjoy the long-awaited entry in the popular series. <em>Final Fantasy XV </em>will be released on September 30th, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. They also announced a lot of anime and movie-related tie-ins to the game <a href="https://bagogames.com/final-fantasy-xv-feature-film-announced/">which we covered in exhaustive detail here as well</a>. Above is a trailer entitled &#8220;Reclaim Your Throne&#8221; which showcases more of the game&#8217;s cinematics and gameplay, as well as a cover of &#8220;Stand by Me&#8221; by Florence and the Machine.</p>

<p>Those who cannot wait for the game&#8217;s release will be able to experience it now in the form of a &#8220;Platinum Demo&#8221; which will place players into the dream of Young Noctis. You can watch the trailer for the demo below:</p>
<p><amp-youtube layout="responsive" width="500" height="281" data-videoid="jbTLPsEcdb8" title="PLATINUM DEMO - FINAL FANTASY XV Announcement Trailer"><a placeholder href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbTLPsEcdb8"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jbTLPsEcdb8/hqdefault.jpg" layout="fill" object-fit="cover" alt="PLATINUM DEMO - FINAL FANTASY XV Announcement Trailer"></a></amp-youtube></p>
<p>Unlike the previous demo, which required the purchase of <em>Final Fantasy Type-0</em>, this demo is completely free and available to download now. It tells a story that has players experiencing a lot of the mechanics they will find in the full game, but in a story that is wholly unique to this demo. Yes, that means it will not be found in the final version of <em>Final Fantasy XV </em>and instead acts as a taste of what is to come.</p>
<p>Along with this, the Japanese box art for the game was revealed. <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Nova_Crystallis" target="_blank">Nova Crystallis</a> posted the image on Twitter:</p>

<p>Those who want to pre-order the game because all of the above cannot possibly satisfy their appetite, there are plenty of versions of the game to appease you. Let&#8217;s start with the big one: an Ultimate Collector&#8217;s edition (pictured below) that is limited to 30,000 copies worldwide. If you want this set, <a href="https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/398306/final-fantasy-xv-ultimate-collector-s-edition-ps4">you&#8217;ll have to pre-order</a> from the Square Enix Online Store. It contains &#8220;<em>all Deluxe Edition content plus an additional exclusive two-disc steelbook containing the official Blu-ray Disc Music (featuring music from FINAL FANTASY XV, KINGSGLAIVE and BROTHERHOOD) and the BROTHERHOOD Blu-ray (containing an exclusive sixth episode). Also includes a PLAY ARTS -KAI- Noctis action figure with Ultimate Edition-exclusive weapon.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>As mentioned above, there is also a deluxe edition which those who want a slightly smaller package can attain from major retailers. The Square Enix Store states that &#8220;&#8230;t<em>he Deluxe Edition contains all Day One Edition content plus an exclusive two-disc steelbook including both FINAL FANTASY XV and the KINGSGLAIVE Blu-ray. Also includes an exclusive car recolor DLC and the Royal Raiment costume DLC from KINGSGLAIVE.</em>&#8221;</p>

<p>There is one last thing: if you pre-order any version of the game from the Square Enix store, you will receive a free <em>Final Fantasy XV </em>postcard set which contains five postcards. Are you excited yet? Good, because Square Enix is clearly pulling out all the stops for this title (as they should). It&#8217;s been years in the making and they know it. Let us know which version of the game you&#8217;ll be picking up in the comments below, and what you think of the demo!</p>
