The event will start at 7 p.m. PT and will be hosted by Kinda Funny's Tim Gettys and Greg Miller.
Miller himself confirmed the event, saying on his Twitter, "I'm a 'Final Fantasy' noob. Tim Gettys loves it. The devs say XV will appeal to us both. We'll see in March."
Meanwhile, one of the highlights of the Active Time Report was the inclusion of a progress report by Square Enix.
