Question for you all: Do you think the DLC's will actually expand the world of Eos as well? Beyond the areas we know of? It looks like the character DLC episodes do in some way, but I'm not entirely sure? Witcher 3, DQ Inquisiton, and plenty of other RPG's have done this, just curious to see what everyone's opinions would be on this.

Yeah well, i saw some concepts, and i can tell you that they showed different areas from the ones in the game (i think they even said that). But i dont think they are gonna be huge, unfortunately...

There was an interview with the director for the DLC content and he said they will feature new environments and gameplay elements :)

The biggest surprise of the week for me: A Collaboration between Final Fantasy XV and Nier:Automata. They'll be something from XV in Nier:Automata, but they won't say what. For Nier:Automata, they've lifted the Engine Sword and associated effects in combat and integrated them into the game environment. There's even a Weapon Story all its own (for those not in the know, Weapon Stories are a tradition of the Drakengard/Nier franchise where weapons have stories that unlock as a weapon levels up, and can range from mildly amusing to extremely disturbing).

One solid ending so people don't lose their heads debating which one is the real one.

The comprehension skill levels of some gamers is challenged enough as is.

Also, emotional impact for a game with one ending is infinitely more powerful than one with multiple endings that branch off into different tones.
Honestly, I think multiple endings can have their uses, even on an emotional level. A recent example for me is the London Heist VR game --

-- which really felt like it was meant to have all of its three endings play out in the order I played them. The first time through, I was really hesitant to choose who to shoot (which is even weirder in VR than in normal games =P ), so I waited too long and one of the guys flat-out murdered me (which is also really weird in VR). The second time through, I made my choice before the characters even got a few words out. XD And then it turned out that the guy the game was implying had betrayed me actually hadn't, but still thought I'd betrayed him, so I went back and tried the final way and got the big reveal last.

If the game had just told me I needed to shoot the second guy in the first place, I don't think it'd have been anywhere near as memorable. *shrugs*
