This is a giant piece of news and well worth reading in full if you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series.. So if you scroll down you can read the press release in all its glory.
Some of the highlights do include free upgrade from PS3 to PS4 (conditions to apply but they are not that bad), a free all access Beta is on its way and of course the fact the PS4 is getting a Final Fantasy game so early in its life cycle is great news all by itself.
