I was messing around with art that may look good as an alternative game cover I might make for myself, not sure which one I like more?

Yeah nah I agree, wasn't feeling the RE box art either. Honestly feel like people give Amano too much of a pass even when he's not putting out his best work simply because of his history with the franchise like how some people believe every FF Sakaguchi helmed was free of any flaws. Only person involved with FF from the start that I would say has managed to keep a consistently great track record would be Uematsu. Anyways the RE cover was far from one of Amano's best efforts, should've just kept it simple and maybe used the updated logo you get on the main menu after you beat the game. Just enlarge that and put it behind the title and you have the perfect cover.

I agree. Personally I think it's practically a must for SE to include 2-discs (kingsglaive & FFXV) in the inevitable Complete Edition. Not bundling the film with XV is doing the customer a disservice if you wish for them to be engaged with your product/story.

Yeah, I have the deluxe edition so it did come with the movie, but watching the movie actually does so much for the plot, no matter how disconnected the game feels from it at times

Would've personally just been happy with something like this. Sorry for the gigantic size, just whipped it up and didn't know how it would scale on here.
Honestly I would be fine if they straight up copy and pasted Comrades' magic system into the campaign with some refinements. Shields could let you create barriers when you press L2 and circle when they're equipped (or replace Noct's phasing with it when you press and hold square), daggers could give you lightning to fire off, great swords could give you ice, regular swords give you fire, lances and spears give you healing magic, and to make the Ultima blade actually valuable and unique as Noct's signature weapon they could make it so it casts any one of the 3 elements depending on what the enemy you're targeting is weak to and maybe allows you to freely fire off holy against daemons as well. Just make the Ultima harder to obtain and it's a pretty good balance. The effects of these abilities could be directly tied to the stats of the weapons too so if you want to fire off firaga versus a normal fire spell you need to get a sword with better stats.

I know the squeaky hammer is a weapon in Comrades (I have it) and the toy sword was the weapon Noct used during those mini games in the Altissia Festival

Someone on twitter remembered me the Pryna scene in Episode Prompto.
It looks like Episode Luna will explain what happened there.

Yeah like I've said before Luna's episode could very well have a canon side to it that leads into the original ending with the alternative stuff being her Verse 2.

Tbh, I can't see how all of them aren't canon in some form. My guess is all 3 (excluding Aranea because its obiously canon) will take place at some point in the story timeline-wise. The events leading up to each DLC's climax will be canon, BUT, towards the end of each there will be a divisive choice that each character must make to change the events that DO happen. Each DLC should have a canon ending, but you can make a choice to get a different one. As I've said a while ago, I personally think all 3 will change the ending overall, but I don't think any of them take place at the ending specifically.
I'm thinking all 3 are between Chapters 13 and 14 for 2 reasons.
Reason 1: Placement in the story.
- Ardyn's can't be until this point, or it spoils the story. It will be a flashback type DLC I'm sure.
- Luna's will be at this point IF you are playing her while she is dead. Before this point, Noctis is supposed to be sad about her death and drab during the entire portion of Niflheim, anything before Chapter 12/13 makes zero sense. If its while she's alive, it can take place whenever before chapter 9, but I doubt this for Reason 2.
- Personally, I think Noctis's will be more of a dream-state sort of thing. It will take place during his slumber. Its the only part of the game where he "reflects" on everything and where he likely finds out more about Ardyn, Luna and what he could do to change things. I can't see it being before or after this point. He obviously did something while he was inside this dream state.
Then, depending on the conditions of all 3, they will change the ending in chapter 14 after playing it.
Reason 2: Square likely won't try and rewrite half the game if you can make a choice earlier than Chapter 13.
-IF any of these change the main games story in anyway. I can't see it being early in it at all (this is assuming these DLC are going to be integrated into the main game). That would result in changing stuff after these DLC occur, which is A LOT of work.
-Between Chapters 13 and 14 is good because it leaves only the timeskip and the climax, very easy things to change in the grand scheme of things. Nothing actually has to change in Chapter 14, just only when the actual confrontation with Ardyn and the "Wall" start.
Just my idea behind it.
