A massive 2.8GB patch for Final Fantasy XVI is now available to download on PlayStation 5. This comes before the game’s next DLC, The Rising Tide, arrives on April 18.
Nothing Stops the Final Fantasy Train! FF14: Dawntrail Deploys 2nd July on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

It’s been a huge 12 months for Final Fantasy, and Square Enix is seemingly just getting warmed up. Following on from the reveal of Final Fantasy 16 add-on The Rising Tide earlier this weekend, the publisher has now confirmed MMO expansion Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail will deploy on 2nd July. This all follows the release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth last month, of course.
Pre-orders for Dawntrail will open on 26th March, and interestingly there are a number of bonuses which reference Final Fantasy 9. According to director Naoki Yoshida, speaking at a PAX East 2024 panel, the reason for these is a “secret”. Obviously, it’s been rumoured for a little while that a remake of the classic PS1 RPG is in development.
Either way, the aforementioned pre-order extras include a wind-up Zidane minion, and Azeyma’s earrings, which grant a 30 per cent increase in XP earned when worn. You’ll also get three-day early access to the expansion, meaning it’ll be available to enjoy from 28th June. Of course, you must have made appropriate progress in Endwalker first.
On PS5 and PS4, you’ll be able to purchase the expansion for $39.99, or grab a Digital Collector’s Edition for $59.99. This latter option includes a bunch of additional in-game items, including a mount based on the Ark eidolon and a wind-up Garnet minion – both inspired by Final Fantasy 9. You’ll also get a Chocobo brush.

Going to preorder when it appears on psn. Been playing ffxiv since 2013.
Man I have a long ways to go, but I'm almost done with Heavensward at least(Also easily the best ost I have ever heard) and finally we have a date for the FF16 crossover which is just in a couple of weeks. Once I get that outfit I'm never taking it off dx
I greatly respect FFXIV as a game but I know I can never play it. It's too big of a game for me to give it the time.
Yoshi-P delaying Dawntrail’s release date so gamers can play the Elden Ring DLC first.

Although XVI struck many as a divergence from typical Final Fantasy games of the past, the gamble seems to have paid off, as last year’s title managed to bring in tons of new, young fans.

Final Fantasy 16 Clive Actor Comments on Calls for FF Tactics Remake
Ben Starr, the voice actor of Final Fantasy 16's Clive Rosfield, has joined fans in calling for a brand-new entry in the Final Fantasy Tactics spin-off subseries. The first Final Fantasy Tactics game was first released in 1997 for the PS1 as a tactical RPG spin-off to the mainline games. The original game got plenty of critical acclaim and would become one of the franchise's most well-regarded spin-offs, which eventually created a mini-franchise. While the series hasn't had a new title since the 2007 remake of the first game on PSP, there are still a number of fans who are hoping the series will make a comeback one day, with Ben Starr being one of them.

Final Fantasy 16 Could Be Coming to Platforms Other Than PS5 and PC
Final Fantasy 16 could make the jump to other platforms once it launches on PC, at least according to some of the game’s developers. The latest mainline Final Fantasy game launched exclusively on the PlayStation 5 last June, but Square Enix has promised a PC port at a later date. So far, there is no official word on when the PC version of Final Fantasy 16 will be released, but producer Naoki Yoshida recently told fans that it is in the end stages of development and a playable demo should be forthcoming.
