Everybody wants to have a piece of "Final Fantasy XV," even Amazon. The online retail giant is even offering exclusive downloadable content (DLC) for fans who pre-orders through their store. A trailer reveals the extras the store has to offer.

The latest game trailer showcased the rewards that game fans can collect from the Amazon-exclusive DLC pack. Weapons such as the Golden Chocobo Regalia, the Blazefire Saber, and the Mage Mashers from the previous game release are up for grabs. There are also several other offerings.

The accompanying description of the video says: "Join Noctis and his crew on an epic journey with the FINAL FANTASY XV Road Trip. Fight, fish, and cast epic summons to take down ferocious enemies. It's your chance to get into the world of FINAL FANTASY XV before anyone else. Pre-order now to earn exclusive in-game DLC such as the Golden Chocobo Regalia, Final Fantasy XIII's Blazefire Saber, the Mage Mashers from Final Fantasy IX, and the deadly Gae Bolg from Final Fantasy XIV."

Amazon also published the complete mechanics for the promo. The promo will run for three weeks, starting on Nov. 1. Every week, there will one main quest and a bonus quest. Every completed quest will give players a bigger chance of earning the exclusive expansion pack. Those who have successfully reached the end will then receive their gift pack when the game gets released.

"Final Fantasy XV" will be released on Nov. 29 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A Windows PC version might also be released, but fans would have to wait a year after the console version rolls out. This was what Hajime Tabata, the game director, previously revealed.

However, this does not mean that the PC version is in the works. Production for the port has not started, and for now, it is just an idea that the director shared to the fans who have asked about a desktop version of the game.

Developer Square Enix also mentioned before that the newer and more powerful versions of the game consoles, the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One S, will be supported by the game. This means players will be able to maximize the features of the step-up video consoles.
