What they really should do is just change up the chapter numbers. Make chapter 14 open world again, complete with new quests in the World of Ruin. Just add a chapter 15 and have more to do in Insomnia before fighting Ardyn.
Thematically this makes more sense, as we'd have an actual Chapter 15 instead of a post game one. Just call chapter "16" or whatever the Epilogue like it already is called.

On closer inspection, Tabata did say that the maximum amount of content they can make is 4 large scale dlc's worth.
So Episode Prompto x4.
That dlc is around 2hrs worth of stuff (I'm being conservative here) so around 8hrs in total for the brand new stuff incoming in 2018.
I surmise that this will be brand new content comprising of both gameplay and cutscenes... or it could only be cutscenes?
How I see it is, if they're going to be juicing up the story, they will need context and scenarios in order to convey these new story segments properly so that they make sense.
So there is the possibility of chapters being reworked to accomodate these additions.
...Unless the new content is accessed via a mode separate from the main game that is...
From what I gather, they're going to need to find a way to divide the resources between the Astrals, Ardyn, Luna and possibly Niflheim.
With this in mind, I do wonder how much depth and detail can be covered if they're going to try and do everything?

I think there was a difference between free updates and DLC. Like, if they were to make more DLC episodes, they'd be able to do a maximum of 4. However, I think free updates are separate from that. They aren't focusing on separate universe titles anymore, except potentially a second VR title. So almost all of their available resources will be focused on delivering story content.

Well, that was nice, even though the scenes weren't technically scenes, I enjoyed new story content they've given to me, especially in regards to Ifrit, I think they've done enough with Ifrit for me, so I'm happy, and I got to see some of Solheim, so there's a bonus for me. I also liked how they re-arranged things, and added some of the Dawn trailer.
Not actually scenes? I mean you also say that they added parts of the dawn trailer, so I'm assume there are at least actual cutscenes
Edit: Now i see what you mean, there are some comic book style parts in that sequence. But damn, if that isn't some of the best story content we've gotten so far.
And also....STOP FUCKING TEASING US RAY CHASE!!! God a new event added in chapter 12. Anyone see if it added a game play segment?

Well.. that was a significant improvement!
I demand the music for this to be released lol.
This is good news in that it means they're willing to rework some scenes to better the story.
This is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm willing to see how they can add more to the other chapters too.

Man Ifrit and Shiva being lovers confirmed!
I mean damn... so she didn't like humans at first but Ifrit did.
After awhile she grew fond of them through Ifrit.
So we got the speculation backwards the entire time.
Ah so Ardyn corrupted Ifrit. How very interesting.
Man this stuff is epic if they expand on it more.
That was pretty good but I wish that was done via cutscenes not still shots lol

They at least added some new cutscenes here and there, I recognize some from Dawn as well.
Man, all I can say is, with the potential this has to improving the game story, FFXV could have one of the most epic stories told in video game format. It just needs a lot of TLC in the Lore department, as well as filling in many of the gaps it has.
Gameplay to me comes second. I'd love new pleyable sections but only if they have a reason to be there and improve the story they are telling.

Fully agree. I don't care about gameplay updates at this point.
All about story for me from hereon out.
Yeah this was well done. I'm going to have to give the team that. Much better reworked version of Ch12.
The story it fantastic. Just expand on it and go into more detail.
This is very promising!
I'm excited all over again xD
Edit: You know they're heading in the right direction when even gaf is praising the new scenes lol

So I'm following the reception on the other forums as well and I noticed one poster had a very interesting post about the story cutscene presentation choice.
So this meteora88 person says that the scene was presented as a slideshow because those still shots were the pages within the Cosmogony book itself.
Now that I think about it, it did have a storybook feel to it.
