'World of Final Fantasy' release date news: Game launches Oct. 25; Collector's Edition announced

World of Final Fantasy Collector's Edition Square-Enix

"World of Final Fantasy," an exclusive title launching solely for the PS Vita and PlayStation 4, is officially launching this coming October. A report from Destructoid has also revealed that there will be a limited Collector's Edition that comes with multiple rare collectibles and both digital and physical bonus content.

The Collector's Edition will come with the game's official soundtrack, the digital bonus of unlocking the Japanese voice work for the game as well as the character Sephiroth as a summon, three mini figures of Cloud Strife, Squall Leonhart and Lightning, an 80-page official artwork book and a pop-up book. 

The DLC, which includes the Sephiroth summon and the Japanese voice over, is also included in the Day One edition of the game. It is undetermined at this point if the DLC will be sold separately later on.

In preparation for the game's release. Square-Enix has launched two videos showcasing the game in action. The first video teases the game's animated intro as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the main theme song, "Innocent," performed by Mizuki. 

The second video is nearly an hour-long and focuses on the developers giving a more in-depth discussion of the exploration and combat elements of the game. Footage also showcases both aspects as well as the ability to swap the two main characters between their main size and smaller "chibi" sizes.

"World of Final Fantasy" is designed for a younger audience and focuses on two siblings, Lann and Reyne, as they suffer from amnesia and travel to the world of Grymoire, a land inhabited by the characters and monsters of the "Final Fantasy" games such as Cloud, Lightning, and Squall. 

The game will officially release in North America first when it launches on Oct. 25 followed by a Japanese release on Oct. 27. Europe will get the game on Oct. 28.
