Let's see about that NG+. Hopefully they announce how it's going to be.

And please, PLEASE, let us be able to play as Older Noctis :( I really want to play the post-game and everything I haven't done so far (which is a lot in the Duscae and Cleigne regions) with the best bois.

The clothes... they're fun, at least the mariachi one. But I'm a bit dissapointed there aren't more legitimate clothes choices. It's not an important feature, but the options are very limited and none of them particularly good (except for the clothes in Chapter 0 and the suits).

Spoilers for Chapter 5, I think? It's not that big of a deal and it's unrelated to the current events then, but hey.

Agreed about wanting to be able to play as older Noctis and everyone else. That would be dope.

Yeah it would be great if we get more legitimate costumes of all the guys somewhere down the line.

Royal Raiment outfits for everyone? I'd be a-ok with all the guys dressed to the 9s with killer stat boosts. Gotta slay monsters while looking your best after all.

The attires are a wasted opportunity. At first, I thought it was going to be the equivalent of the other game's armors. But nope. They're very limited in scope, and you stick to the same one all the time. They really should have gone with them being armors, and made plenty of unique sets. Each providing their own perks on stats and whatnot. While accessories really should have been more like relics, with some providing new combat abilities on top of certain stat boosts, status protection, and the likes. FF VI would have been a good place to get inspired.

At the very least, they should have made the accessories visible on the characters.

I didn't see the level limiter feature on that list, I don't think. New game plus where I keep everything and am still level 90 won't help much. I really want to do a level 1 game

There was another translated version of the article saying there was a level limiter feature.

Might've been the dualshocker article? Forgot which one but I did see it I think.

I think they didn't have enough time even for costumes, let alone all the other important stuff in the game.

More outfit variety may be coming soon hopefully. I recall Tabata saying he wanted to add more costumes if the demand was high enough.

Yeah. I think the main reason we don't have more is because of time problems (it should be one of the last things you do in a game).

I just hope most aren't Season Pass exclusives (the good ones at least! I don't really care about the goofy ones).

Yup! Was just swinging by to post this myself. Sounds like it's via accessory, but I suppose I will live.

I also dig the new fanfares, assuming those aren't accessories as well. Bonus AP for getting A+'s is a good incentive and helps the AP grind a little bit.

Now, the only question left is what stays and what goes in the NG+. My dream scenario would be that I lose all my items, all my weapons, all my levels, but keep my AP abilities. But I still haven't seen anything specific about it yet, so I guess we'll see.

It's BS that the Ring of Resistance and other items are stuck behind a paywall. wtf?

In a way, it does make sense for the people who payed for the season pass to get dibs on the good stuff.

The free version for the holiday pack is alright too, but giving the good stuff away for free wouldn't be fair for the people who paid.

They'd be quite angry and rightfully so.
