What happened
Square Enix announced the PS5 launch date and showed extended gameplay during State of Play.
Pre-orders opened with standard, Premium and Premium Plus options.
The practical change: Use the confirmed date and systems for edition planning, but wait for final combat values and DLC details before building a complete guide.
What is confirmed
- The game launches April 8, 2027 for PlayStation 5.
- Warrior, Knight, Black Mage and Summoner are the four named FITS roles.
- Players can switch party members while exploring and use a grappling gun in traversal.
- Queen's Blood returns with a new Red XIII storyline.
What this means for players
FITS changes both combat functions and character appearance, so it is more than a cosmetic system.
Premium Edition includes one-day early access and a pass for two story DLCs, but those stories remain undescribed.
What is still unconfirmed
Square Enix has not published final role values, complete quest outcomes or the content and dates of the two story DLCs.
What to do next
- 01Compare the edition contents before pre-ordering.
- 02Treat the four roles as confirmed categories, not solved builds.
- 03Wait for the final game before publishing quest-choice outcomes.
