Ever since its release last year, rumors have been abuzz that Final Fantasy XV would be making its way to Nintendo’s darling little hybrid system.

About a day ago during a Gamescom livestream on Twitch, XV Producer Hajime Tabata hinted that on top of the Windows and Mobile versions of XV that they are also working on a console version that rhymes with Twitch. No, it’s not the Xbox One Xitch, but good guess. If done right, FFXV on Switch could be incredibly cool and addicting. Would you be interested in double dipping in the game if it was brought to Switch? Check out the video mentioned above right here!

 

Briefly: It’s finally here.

After more than a decade, an entire console generation, a name change, delays, and countless world events, the long awaited Final Fantasy XV is finally here.

To celebrate (and probably sell me a copy of the game), Square-Enix today debuted the Final Fantasy XV launch trailer, titled ‘Ride Together’.

The trailer mostly features footage that we’ve already seen, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t a unit seller. It shows off Square-Enix’ always incredible cutscenes, and features a fantastic soundtrack that I definitely just added to my Apple Music library.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what your hopes for Final Fantasy XV are in the comments below! Final Fantasy XV is available now for PS4 and Xbox One.

Those counting down the days until Final Fantasy XV‘s release date will have to add a whole extra month to the pile. The game’s director Hajime Tabata announced in a Youtube video that the release would be pushed back until November 29, 2016. You can view the message from Mr. Tabata below (turn on Closed Captioning to see English subtitles).

Mr. Tabata mentioned that what was originally considered the “Master Version,” the game that solely existed on discs, had been completed. But he felt that, as it is, a Day-One patch would be necessary to get the most quality from the game. That would be unfair to fans who don’t have access to good quality internet connections. So the decision was made to push the release date back and incorporate everything that the patch would include on the initial disc release. That is not to say that the team wouldn’t consider patches and DLC for the future, however. Mr. Tabata also mentioned including “some extra things” in the initial release as well.

Square-Enix’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con was a freaking wonderland for fans of any of the company’s franchises (okay, mostly Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts but I did spot the odd Dragon Quest item). An entire half of the booth’s real estate was dedicated to pleasing us toy collectors with displays set up showcasing upcoming products as well as items available to purchase on the show floor. Here are the highlights for the figures not yet produced!

Starting with the Final Fantasy series, we have Cloud, Barret, Sepiroth, and Squall. All four are from Square-Enix’s Play Art -Kai- line which have interchangeable limbs and certain degrees to which it can be posed. These gentlemen share the same tentative price tag of US$149.99 and all have an undecided release date.

There were also Play Arts -Kai- figures from Final Fantasy XV , these guys are scheduled to be released this September.

And the winner for the cutest figures go to these Static Arts mini figures from World of Final Fantasy. Shown here are Tama (the white bunny-squirrel-looking one), Cactuar Conductor, Chocochick, and Magictek Armor (fans of Final Fantasy VI will no doubt recognize that one). Again, release date is “to be determined.”

Moving on to Kingdom Hearts! Lots of prototypes to see. Ones that particularly caught my eye were the Roxas Play Arts -Kai- and the Static Arts mini figures of several critters from the Kingdom Hearts universe: Meow Wow, Chirithy, and the Heartless. Adorable!

Finally we get to franchises that don’t actually belong to SE. We’re talking American comic book heroes. The majority of them were Marvel (Wolverine, Deadpool, Ironman, Spiderman, and Venom) but DC was represented as well (the lone Batman figure).
