Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition – Fall 2017

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition will be split into 10 chapters, and all of the chapters will be available on Day 1 of the release. However, only the first chapter will be available for free. The game will have every character and each part of the story the console and computer game has, except now it is in cute chibi-style graphically, and can fit in the palm of you hand.

And mobility seems to be the main selling point when it comes to getting people hyped up about the upcoming game. As read from the Final Fantasy XV website:

FINAL FANTASY XV: POCKET EDITION contains all of the main characters and main story of the console and PC versions, with the freedom to play whenever and wherever you want.

Mechanically, it will be using casual touch controls to move the characters and fight battles. I am assuming this means tapping and swiping the screen so that it maneuvers everything smoothly. My hopes are that it is smooth enough to not have me blocking the screen with my giant paws I call hands.

So now we wait. No definite date has been set, but you can pre-register to get it on the Google Play store now. And while you wait for it to be released, why not head over to our forums site, and tell us your thoughts about this, and all of the other news and stories we have featured there?

The first Square Enix game I played was Final Fantasy IX way back in the PlayStation 1 days. I fell in love with the story, characters, and music. Since then, I have wanted to continue experience stories like that one, and that's how I became a fan of all Square Enix games. I am one of the people you'll see post articles on the main site. I have been writing news articles for websites like this one for four years now; and before that, I wrote for my village's newspaper, and edited it, and delivered it for ten years. Writing and language is a major part of who I am. I speak nine languages, and one day hope to be able to speak with every person on the planet in their native language.
