After downloading the 2.1GB Final Fantasy XV update 1.04 and the Holiday Pack (free or paid), you’ll be able to access the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, which is a limited time event in the city of Altissia that runs until February 20. To access it, just select the “special” option on the main title screen.
With the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, you’ll find a number of carnival games like whack-a-cactuar, new side quests, new outfits for Noctis, a fireworks show, and “many more festive treats.” If you own the paid version of the Holiday Pack, you’ll have access to a carnival-themed, mariachi-inspired ensemble for Noctis to wear both inside and outside of the carnival in exchange for medallions won during the event.
As you can see in the patch notes for the latest Final Fantasy XV update on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, an all-new manual photographing feature was also added today:
- Commencement of the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, a limited-time event
- New events and photo frames for players who have purchased the Season Pass or downloaded the Holiday Pack
- New photo mode allowing players to take in-game snapshots
- Various bug fixes
Additionally, Square Enix will make some of the pre-order bonus DLC for Final Fantasy XV available for purchase today, and it looks like they’ll be around $0.49 USD each. Here’s what to expect:
Items
- Travel Pack
- Angler Set
- Camera Kit
- Gourmand Set (available for free)
Weapons
- Gae Bolg (From FFXIV)
- Mage Mashers (From FFIX)
- Masamune
- Blazefire Sabre (From FFXIII)
Car Recolor
- Cindymobile
- Gold Chocobo
- 16-bit Buddies
- Platinum Leviathan
Outfit
- Royal Raiment
If you’re planning on using the new photo mode, the pictures can be shared on social media.

World of Final Fantasy
Square Enix may have tried to write love letters to Final Fantasy fans in the past, but World of Final Fantasy is the true love letter to these fans. The hilarious dialogue, innovative gameplay, and adorable Pokemon-esque features make World of Final Fantasy one of the best FF games in years, if not one of the best Final Fantasy spin-offs.

Zero Time Dilemma
Both on its own and as a piece of the cumulative Zero Escape puzzle, this easily has the best narrative I’ve seen in a game so far this year and should go down as one of the all-time greatest stories told through the medium.

Grand Kingdom
Grand Kingdom’s blend of board game-style map exploration and intriguing lane-based combat is something you won’t find anywhere else on PS4, and that’s really what makes it something to be savored.

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
If your fingers are itching for big titles like Final Fantasy XV or Persona 5, consider keeping them busy with Leifthrasir’s fast-paced and frantic battles — this is one of the best remasters on PS4, and a can’t-miss for JRPG fans if you already let it pass you by in 2007.
-
Dragon Quest Builders
It’s easy to dismiss Dragon Quest Builders as just another Minecraft clone or a Minecraft-lite, but those who do will miss out on a very creative little adventure. Who would have thought building in the name of saving the world could be this entertaining? It’s a crafter’s paradise more than it is a builder’s, something you won’t know until you pick it up for yourself.
