The wait is almost over: Final Fantasy XV will see the light of day Sept. 30. An entire decade has passed since that initial Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer released, but here we are.

Peanut butter and chocolate. Thunder and lightning. Country music and road trips. Some things go really well together. Television and video games aren’t two of those things.
