Final Fantasy XV - General News Thread

[Alekzan]

There was a question about new Summons and Tabata answered unfortunately, there wont be new Summons. Cause if they started to do it, it would be completely another, diffetent game. But we shouldnt be worry, cause we will get a lot of new enemies, monsters.

BoredLemon had translated a few things, one of which @Alekzan had translated.:

Reaaaallly hope it does still add meaningful content story and environment wise. The Royal Update and Ardyn are probably great content additions but they still don't fix the major parts of the game that need things.


The first half needs more story, the 2nd half needs more environments. The middle needs both lol.

Okay, that is wayyyy better to hear lol. Makes me confident it'll be good.

"From now on DLC will be completely different"

Hmm

"From now on DLC will be completely different"

Hmm

That is an interesting thing Tabata says, I do wonder what he means by that.

 

[Alekzan]

Tabata was asked, are they planning to show background of Ardyn and the answer was: *E*.

 

[Paperchampion23]

The more I think about it, the more I feel like it won't just be a story filler, but perhaps entirely new things. I think it'll still be related to the main story, but just not more of the same.

Just don't know what the hell that means though. New, more open maps? New gameplay mechanics? Ways to affect the story in different ways (I hope not). I seriously have no idea what that means.

I do hope it still improves the main story to some extent.

They need to release a damn trailer already X'D

 

[Alekzan]

Well, thats all guys. They thanked everyone and asked everyone, as those who played console game and those who will buy PC, to play their game.

May I ask what *E* meant? I've never seen that symbol before, just wondering.

 

[Alekzan]

@FFChocobo18 What word which consist of three lettes and has 'E' in the middle and has a positive meaning of answer?

 

[FFChocobo18]

@FFChocobo18 What word which consist of three lettes and has 'E' in the middle?

Oh, he said yes, my bad, the * between the E made me confused, thanks. And BoredLemon says Tabata said the Type series is on hold.

 

[Alekzan]

Yeah. I just translated what was connected to FF XV and in rough version. My bad

That's alright, I'm still happy they're doing Episode Ardyn, that's another one of my main priorities this year, so I'm definitely looking forward to it the most besides the Royal Pack DLC.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Can they just release the Roadmap already?

the problem with other summons is that the Astrals are in total 6, by adding another they would have to change the lore.

even then, i don't think they have an excuse to not add Bahamut and KoTR...

 

[Alekzan]

Well, you have a point, but who said that Bahamut and KoTR are new summons?

This tweet claims that four DLC Episodes may be in by next year, along with Episode Ardyn, but no source.:

Yeah, but I thought Tabata said they were doing three DLC Episodes, why add a fourth DLC Episode to the mix? Not that I'm complaining, but it's just surprising to me, if this is true.

Tabata has actually said both numerous times. I'll find a source

They could do something along the lines of Dark Astrals or Lost Astrals erased from the Cosmogony. But yeah, adding more Astrals would break the lore they're constructing. And it really does feel like they're making it up on the fly here...

That is true, at least Cor was given something, Gladiolus is the least, and probably my most hated, character in this game, this is just my opinion.

Opinion respected. I wouldn't say I hate him. He's just quite flat compared to Prompto and Ignis. If there's any sequel set after XV's events, he needs to be one of the leads so he can get some full and proper development beyond the "bodyguard/friend/occasional insensitive prig" persona.
