Final Fantasy 14 finally launches on Xbox this month, and while the MMO is free on Game Pass there's a massive caveat

could be on its way to Xbox consoles, based on a comment from producer Naoki Yoshida. While a PC port is already in development, this is the first hint of the 2023 action RPG coming to other consoles.

Square Enix’s second and final paid DLC for Final Fantasy 16, The Rising Tide, is out on April 18th. It adds a new region, Mysidia, and Leviathan as a new Eikon for players to battle and gain new abilities. Speaking to Famitsu, DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka confirmed that there would be about ten new side quests, with some utilizing Chocobos.

The Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion will launch on July 2, Square Enix announced. Pre-orders will begin on March 26 and include three days of early access to the expansion on June 28, among other bonuses.

From new story content to a flashy new battle against Leviathan to a new endgame survival mode, Final Fantasy 16’s upcoming expansion, The Rising Tide is promising to add a number of significant new things to the action RPG. Another notable addition will be Mysidia, the location that the DLC is set in, and during a recent PAX East panel dedicated to The Rising Tide, new details on Mysidia were also revealed.

will come with Xbox-exclusive microtransactions when it launches later this week. The FFXIV Coins can be purchased from the Microsoft Store and will be used for service fees and optional item purchases. Other platforms will still be able to use additional payment methods.

The Xbox Series X/S version of Final Fantasy 14 will introduce an Xbox-only currency this week.

As Final Fantasy 14 prepares to launch on Xbox Series X/S, Square Enix has revealed that Xbox console players will need to use a new currency called the «FFXIV Coin» to pay for services and optional items. Square Enix then stated the new currency is exclusive to Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox consoles, but did not state all the services it would be used for.

We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.

In the world of video game soundtracks, you can’t get much more iconic than Nobuo Uematsu. Most well-known for composing soundtracks for the first nine Final Fantasy games, the musician has gone on to write tracks for many subsequent entries to the franchise, most recently penning the tearjerking theme song for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, No Promises to Keep.

The title of "hardest Mario level ever made" will be a topic of debate for far better platformer players than me, but one very strong contender looks like the final roadblock for the Super Mario Maker fans who are rushing to beat every single level before the servers go down.

Bringing the once-doomed MMO Final Fantasy XIV back to life and directing the latest mainline title of the long-running franchise isn’t enough for Square Enix superstar Naoki Yoshida. In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida chatted at length about his desire to direct yet another major game for Square Enix.

The Xbox Series version of massively multiplayer online RPG Final Fantasy XIV will launch on March 21, Square Enix announced.
