Not too keen on adding Kingsglaive scenes into the main game.

The difference in appearance for characters is extremely jarring, especially Ravus and Luna.

It breaks immersion greatly.

Also, Kingsglaive is a prequel. Why, and where, would she scenes fit into the main game? For what purpose?

Another thing is, I’d rather they make new cutscene that are relevant to the story at hand.

Adding in Kingsglaive cutscenes would be lazy and bloating cutscene time for no reason.

Maybe i wasn't clear, sorry. They'd have to fix Ravus and Luna's models in the movie. That is key and first priority. They should honestly do it anyway, regardless if they added scene or not.

What I was trying to get at was sprinkling important events/scenes from the movie to the game as you find out about them. Noctis doesn't know Luna has the ring until after Chapter 9. Imagine him receiving the ring, then in comes a 5 minute CG sequence showing you how she even got the ring in the first place.

Also, the first 4 minutes of Kingsglaive are almost vital to understanding the main conflict if you've never kept up with the game's lore. Its silly to me how much of it was left out of the main game. Kingsgaive's bearing on the main story is extremely important, even if it is through the eyes of a different character.

Im also not saying add in the entire 2 hours of cutscenes into the game, but rather, make use of the decent CG (maybe 30-45 minutes of it sprinkled throughout the 25 hour main story) just to tell the story thats needed.
Luna's, Iedolas's and Ravus's characterization, The Treaty Signing, Regis's death, Drautos's betrayal, and Nyx's sacrifice are all really important parts of the main games story, even if the last 2 do not have a major effect on the story, they are the reason Luna got the ring in the first place.

Ooh I see what you’re trying to say now.

Yeah, that could work if it’s done correctly.

Agreed about the first 4 minutes.

I’m surprised that wasn’t mentioned or brought up in the main game since it’s important information to understand the context of the introduction and overall setting for the story.

Yeah, and it's a shame that Glauca wasn't in the main game, but oh well, I do have faith that the parts of the story I felt were lacking could get added in at some point, and at least we have Cerberus.

bit of a spoiler...
Research Log: M.E. 745-X-24th

Our expedition into Taelpar Crag produced some curious fruit: the wreckage of what appears to be an armament of antiquity. I have read many reports claiming the lost civilization of Solheim constructed magitek weapons to fell the gods, but to think that one would appear before my very eyes... Though it is damaged, I believe I can get it up and running.


Belle of the body shop at the Hammerhead Service Station.

Having lost her parents at a young age, Cindy grew up under her grizzled grandfather Cid's tutelage. She inherited his avid love for automobiles and quickly proved herself to be a more-than-capable mechanic. Her stellar reputation draws customers from all across the continent. No matter how terrible their automotive troubles, drivers come in for a tune-up and leave with a smile.

Melba Aurum was born into a prominent family in the old town of Keycatrich. She fell in love with Cid's son Mid Sophiar some thirty years ago, and the two were wed before long. Though she lost her home in the Great War, she gained something even greater through her marriage: a lovely daughter, Cindy. Sadly, however, time with her baby girl was cut short by a horde of daemons. The wicked creatures ambushed her car one night, claiming the lives of her and her husband and leaving Cindy an orphan.

That report seems to be referring to Omega, that's really nice, so Omega was used to attack Ifrit?
it implies solheim had advanced technology to defy the gods, i posted a similar explanation to its existence, would be cool if i was right lol.

he was def used against the gods if that's true, and maybe he ended up in insomnia bc he tracked astral activity there.

i just made another request to the leaker but i don't want to keep bothering him so its the final one.

Yeah, and I like that Solheim was an advanced nation, I'm also very much into ancient lore, and Solheim and everything related to it intrigues me even to this day, and makes me curious to learn more about it. You could say that's where it all started, especially since Niflheim got it's Magitek from Solheim thanks to Ardyn.

Hello, I'm new to this website, so I'm still learning the format style. I discovered this thread because I couldn't find any information on the FFXV Sub Reddit about the Benchmark Leak. Anyways, has there been any news about the Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition Conference yet...?

ok final one, asked about the replica car and if there is anything about older iris/cindy:
Gift From Cid

Noctis receives a special delivery from Cid via Talcott: a mysterious key. True to form, however, Cid provides no specifics regarding its function, only noting it would provide access to "somethin' mighty handy." Eager to decode the meaning behind this cryptic message, Noctis and his friends set out to unlock the secret of the key. Head to the destination. The Regalia replica will not run out of gas. Ask Talcott to service the car when it is too damaged to drive.

- there's conversation with iris and gladio, looks like it could be on a phone because they did also put in new dialogue with iris in last update; looks like gladio hasn't told iris about what's gonna happen to noctis after he gets out of the crystal
- mentioned he found unused lines from early versions
- said some lines he found were been showing up in pocket edition videos, so maybe they'll be included (or they are part of unused dialogue).
- in the data, niflhem and tenebrae areas are named similar to the concept art of terraverde, implying it's the continent name.
Oh shieeeeeeeeet, if there is really a car man... apparently theres no fast travel function with it tho.

not gonna ask for more information but if he's willing to send me anything i'll post here; this is all subject to change/to be false, as any leak is.

That's very interesting, especially the 'unused lines' part, especially the Replica Regalia. But, as always, I have my expectations down low.

leaker confirmed legit

man they went all out with the character creator options, theres even ravus and caligo's armor.
Yeah, I'm happy with what the data-mine had shown, especially the bits about the keys needed to get around in Insomnia, the reports about Omega, and the Replica Regalia, and the new Comrades content but I feel bad for BD2, knowing the stuff got leaked a few days or so early through their own benchmark of all things.
