Square Enix's latest installment in the "Final Fantasy" series, "Final Fantasy XV," will be released on Sept. 30 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Most players agree that this game is long overdue, since it was announced at the 2006 E3 in Los Angeles.

Square Enix revealed that this game will be available in three different versions to cater to different fans. Of course, the price will be different on a retailer-to-retailer basis, but its most basic version will cost around $65. For those who want to pre-order, the standard retail copy will offer a special bonus for this Day One Edition: a free "FFXV"-redesigned Masamune, which could be used in-game.

The Deluxe Edition for this game will cost more, but it will give additional perks such as the "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV," a full-length motion picture, as well as a new costume for Noctis, a new car livery and the Masamune included in the Day One Edition.

As for its most expensive edition, the Ultimate Collector's Edition, it offers all the perks in the Deluxe Edition and more: the original "Brotherhood: Final Fantasy" anime series on Blu-Ray as well as a limited-edition Blu-ray game soundtrack, a hardback book for "Art of Final Fantasy XV," an exclusive 26cm-tall Noctis Play Arts Kai figure and two SteelBook cases containing the portraits of all the protagonists on its front.

But wait, there's more: the "Ultimate Collector's Edition" has in-game bonuses as well, like a Travel Pack, Angler Set, Gourmand Set, and Camera Kit. These items enable the players to take photos in-game, do some fishing during downtime, cook some meals and have more means of traveling.

Unfortunately, according to a report done by the Alphr, the "Ultimate Collector's Edition" for the "Final Fantasy XV" has been sold out, much to the die-hard fans' chagrin. The reason for this is that there are only 30,000 copies of it available for purchase.
