Three pre-order online retailers are being used, Steam, Windows 10 and Origin. All come with different pre-order bonuses just to confuse matters.

On Steam, pre-orders will include “FFXV Fashion Collection” which includes a selection of T-Shirts for Noctis to wear, each with a special boost. The EPISODE GLADIOLUS Tee enhances strength, EPISODE PROMPTO Tee accelerates HP recovery rate, EPISODE IGNIS Tee increases critical hit rate, while the COMRADES Tee increases maximum HP.

Orders on the Microsoft Store come with the “FFXV Powerup Pack”.  This pack contains Dodanuki, a sleek sword created by a bladesmith that reduces enemy defence with each slash. The pack also includes 10 phoenix downs and 10 elixirs.

Finally, on Origin, the pre-orders include the “FFXV Decal Selection”. This pack contains an array of decals for the Regalia car, that celebrates Gladiolus, Prompto and Ignis, as well as the men and women of the Kingsglaiv.
