I havn't touched Comrade since the March update, really hope the new update has substantial amount of new content, and also they really need to work on how the multiplayer side of it works. I was hoping there'd be more story missions added to it, and they could easily do stuff like Daemon Slayer Iris within it.

Also I don't know if they ever will do it but having it online in the hub itself with your online party, and allowing free roam outside of Lestallum and other outposts with them, and giving us a vehicle to control ourselves between them could greatly alleviate the issues with going multiplayer. They need to have reworked it at least so you don't have to rejoin the party every time you want to take on a quest.

Neat, official announcement probably in the coming week. I guess we can safely assume Ardyn’s episode is like a spring 2019 release, this game project has always been littered with delays since its inception, so it’s almost fitting how the “finale” of this bizarre journey will also be delayed lol.
Better delayed than rushed like the main game was.

the main game was delayed though, and multiple times if you count the whole project lol
Yeah, and the only official acknowledgment of delays were that it was supposed to be released in 2014, then September 30th 2016, and then November 29th 2016, other than that, we don't know if there were other old release dates when Nomura was in charge.

We didn't know it was originally supposed to come out in 2014 until Ferrari mentioned it after XV already came out in 2016.

Regarding DLC delays for XV, I do wonder if it might have anything to do with KH3's delay. Originally the second round of XV DLC episodes was gonna be in 2018, but then was pushed back to 2019 after KH3 had it's 2018 window announced, though they also decided to do a 4th new DLC episode at that time too while originally they were just gonna do 3 new episodes, then KH3 was delayed to January 2019. I wouldn't be surprised if that delay messed up XV's DLC release roadmap timeline.

Though it could also be related to BD2/LP transition and them reworking things internally in April this year.

Yeah, I know about the terminology used for them. I just thought it was weird that it isn't consistent for the Imperial side at least with Ravus to Glauca so it wouldn't be so hard for some people to see the whole picture.

Different terms for the different countries, sure. This was something a few people were talking about the other day from reddit, some other titles were brought up in the same conversation, same complaint I have about it. Makes it hard to talk about some of the stuff in the game when everyone's doing it in different languages and there's little differences like that going on.

Trying to explain it to Sylva has been difficult, even more with trying to get him to spill the beans about what he knows too.

I know about Nozue and that, it was weird because iirc, he and Inoue actually were on reddit to do an AMA about stuff for Kingslglaive and I think story questions or something... just no one really participated and nothing really got answered. Gotta wonder if the lid got put on that one.
Does Sylva know something about Versus?

Well guys it’s November 1st, 2018. In under a month it’s the second anniversary. And while a new cool update or more news are exciting to anticipate - personally the craziest part about it all is the fact that it’s been almost 2-years! I swear the time just flew by, it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.

Something like what? Gotta be upfront and say that if you're hoping for a complete and definitive version of Versus to be found, it seems very unlikely for a lot of different reasons.

Anyway, about Sylva. He seems to have a few things on it, as well as the upcoming DLC. He hasn't shared all that he knows because he's being cautious about changes, and specifically said as much. About the Versus stuff, he does seem to either have or know more but hasn't shared for a reason.

I mean, think about it. He's already thrown us a couple of things, and despite that there's been more of an interest with some of the fake stuff that's gone around. If more from it gets thrown down openly, how are we going to tell what is real and what isn't?

I'm also just making an assumption, but I'm pretty sure he's been hoping to see someone throw something down that's new and isn't based on anything he's thrown at us, because that last one followed him posting some of the audio information.

Gotta say, from what he said the last couple of times about content I don't think he's really wrong to bring up that there's some sort of impression there may have been way more content to the game than what there actually was. Like sure, we probably haven't seen everything but it's gotta hit an end somewhere.

That's just me, doesn't kill anyone to go and see if they can squeeze anything out of him on their own time.

Interesting, he does seem to know something about the DLC, it's for the best he keeps it to himself to keep everyone surprised, unless Square Enix badly advertises the DLC again like the Royal Pack DLC. It's also interesting that he might know more Versus stuff, I am curious about it, but I wouldn't push him unless he feels comfortable with doing it later on.

perfect implementation of Sarah as a party member in the main game


also the first time i've seen the scene of the bros looking at insomnia invasion at night time.
I love this cutscene during night time ! The lights look far more serious and dangerous compared to what we get in the end.

hey guys one question about that sylva guy. correct me if im wrong. as far as i know he does some digging in the game files and that's how he gets all the audio/info etc? but like...is he having a normal, base game and all of this stuff is there? o_O just left for someone gifted in yyy eee "hacking" (programming?) like him to get? :v i might be an idiot when it comes to computers/games but i just can't believe they like...left unused audios etc in the final game xD like why not delete that things away? second question: why is he so afraid to share what he knows? it's not like an amount of people interested is that big anyway. some of my friends played ff xv but they didn't even bother to watch the movie or anime, and i guess most of people is like that - just not too deeply interested. i doubt square will knock on his door and tell him to stop spreading stuff he dug lol. or is it another problem, like i know someone mentioned that he's not well in english?

I'm a Software Developer, and I constantly leave unused stuff in my code. It's pretty normal to start something, then not have time to implement it. So you comment it out and save for later... Or never xD

yeah i get it but...it's a huge company...but on the other hand if you take into consideration the amount of times this game was changed in rush, it is possible that they didn't have time to delete everything. buuuut...ehh...xD

Yeah that scene looks way better at night time. I recorded it myself a while back, in regular play you gotta wait around like 30 minutes until it turns night time though since it's around 10 or 11am when you get out of the car.

Though some parts are too dark to see because their torches automatically disappear in the cutscene, like the top down shot when he's on the phone.

Adding a bit of post processing RSMB makes it look more cinematic too.
