Okay so I've tried to decipher most of the interview via shitty translate and my 1 year of college Japanese (lol) and put together a list/summary of both the Dangeki and Famitsu interviews:
Dangeki First (There is definitely more here that I am totally not picking up)
- The Royal Edition was supposed to be the final DLC for the game, but now they are releasing 4 more.
- The Roadmap for the new 4 DLC was completed on January 31st.
- The overall plan for all 4 DLC has been a thing for awhile, but it wasn't until January 31st that they finished laying down the specifics
- There is a team for each DLC and a team that updates the main game (at least from last year).
- Each team meets however to review a DLC that will be released
- You can drive the Regalia (It specifically says a vehicle) in Insomnia (Nice to have confirmation!)
- Royal Update is seamless with Chapter 14 (obviously)
- They seem to be talking about the potential of integrating the other DLC into the game in some form (not sure if its in a positive or negative light though, cant tell)
- You can travel to Angelgard with the boat. (Oh geeeee, I wonder what we can do there?
)
- The Armiger Unleashed will be difficult to get used to apparently.
- There are officially 3 Kings to fight(we know this)
- The Royal Pack is still 2000 yen (~$20). Honestly the price is justified at this point.
- Episode Ardyn is first apparently, but I'm not sure because the Famitsu interview talks about the next DLC making you smile/happy, I can't see Episode Ardyn being anything like that lol.
- While they are releasing 4 DLC now, they are taking their time with each, meaning that development will extend likely into next year.
- Teases Luna's significance in the Royal Update (we know this already from the leaks that its gonna be good)
- Potentially a big one: I think Terada hints at there being a rebalance (I'm assuming leveling and difficulty?) of the entire game so that way you can play from the beginning. Please correct me on this one if I got it wrong. I'm too hyped and don't want to be the ass who told this lie if its wrong.
- Tabata still wants to "Complete" FFXV with these next 4 DLC. HYPE!
- The DLC will be meaningful and substantial, not superficial (<3)
Will update with Famitsu soon if I can find stuff. BUT PLEASE, don't take anything as fact until a better translator comes in and releases a more accurate summary/translation.
I just wanted to give a little taste of what I can tell after reading it a few times, both shitty translate and my elementary japanese (which I suck at)

Yup, there was a new director for every DLC (the 4 we got last year) and the Update team is also its own thing. Not sure what they are doing for this year, but if I read it right, Tabata is personally working on Episode Ardyn (not sure if he's gonna be the director though)

not yet, i actually asked OG to not tell me even if he found it
i'll try not to be spoiled about that since i want to find the place myself.

Famitsu (much shorter), its also basically the same interview with some different responses (I think):
-They refrained from giving Ardyn too much lore in Episode Ignis so they can fully explain it in Episode Ardyn.
-Translate is absolute ass, but I think Tabata is actually saying they CAN "complete" FFXV with these next 4 DLC, starting with Ardyn. I doubt he'd say they can't, cause that sounds like a bad PR move.
-He said they want the next DLC to make people smile, opposite of people being sad from Episode Ignis (though I don't know how it could be Ardyn's that can do that). Its possible that the interview just means "one of the next" and not exactly "the next". A better translator can correct me on that.
-There is a strong connection to comrades with the new DLC (we know how). Comrades is getting a big update.
Again, take with a grain of salt until better translations.

Redmakuzawa is starting to do translations on twitter:

He only started though so hopefully he confirms other stuff as well

Looks like I will be needing to begin saving for a high capacity SDD. 155GB is a lot of game.
