The hype about "Final Fantasy XV" may have taken its toll. In Peru, illegal copies were distributed and thousands of players in the country may be already playing the game prior to the scheduled release date.

Square Enix is facing an issue in Peru right now as leaked copies of "Final Fantasy XV" have reportedly been circulated in the country, causing the game to have a premature release. The leaked title is apparently a hit and thousands of players in Peru already have their hands on the game.

This has opted Square Enix to take action immediately for the sake of fairness. In the "Final Fantasy XV" forum, the developer stated that they plan to ban the title's next release "for months later." The page was also filled with reactions coming from gamers in other parts of the world.

There is news that Square Enix may be planning to block the players of the early release of "Final Fantasy XV," but gamers are doubtful about the developer's move. Gamers feel that blocking the legitimate games, even the premature releases, has never been done before.

Furthermore, it is almost impossible to block a player who purchased the game with a physical disc. Most gamers believe that it is not the players' fault that the early copies were circulated, but the retailers should be blamed for it.

In other news, GamesRadar reported that "Final Fantasy XV" will not come cheap. Its standalone retail price is forecasted at about $60 for the regular edition and $90 for the deluxe edition. The developer apparently decided to raise the price of the title up since it took almost 10 years to make the game.

It is obvious, though, "Final Fantasy XV" showcased its gameplay with a modernized look that no other video games have ever done before. This is not just about the graphics but the general gameplay as well, in which players are to be submerged in a marathon of fun as Square Enix promises gamers a lot of hours devouring on the main storyline alone.
