Ah okay, I don't think it'll still have that Ep Aranea still in now though, for obvious reasons. But interesting that they were gonna do that, guess it was supposed to be a bit more than the usual short teaser they played at the end of the S1 DLC. By anime having the prompt, what does that mean? That you can watch the anime within it?
With modding tools being edited, is that regarding the current MOD Organizer already released?
Oh yeah, more or less Sylva had commented that he was expecting some changes to go on as he said he didn't see much to begin with for DLC and this goes with him spotting what he figured was Episode Ravus beforehand. With the announcement of the new DLC, they did say they had considered and then scrapped doing an Episode Ravus, so I don't think he was particularly wrong with that or with what he had seen.
Apparently the anime can be viewed in the game, but there's a payment prompt to purchase it. He doesn't know if that's going to be the same, or if they're going to make it free as the same thing was with Episode Aranea, no mention of a season pass as it was all individual purchases.
Episode Aranea was to be launched from Episode Ardyn's menu, and that there's some other things that haven't been shown so far in the teaser. He did say there were allocations for Episode Aranea, but it sounded like he was expecting some sort of recycling and not enough to waste his time on. He's told me about a few things for now, if more ends up getting cut from Episode Ardyn then he'll probably post it up to fill in some gaps.
I don't think there was a ton about Aranea, and it didn't sound like much was done for the other ones on one hand, but he had a comment about something familiar being redone (not just the invasion) for Ardyn instead of the one he found it for to begin with and said something like he did say to a few people messaging him he suggested reuse the last time he spoke about this.
Modding tools, about the current one from what they responded about. The mods said they spoke to some of the brand managers a couple of weeks ago and are sending another message but it sounds kinda like they're expecting a no comment type of reply for press right now.
And about the FFXIV collab, that should be integrated to the game like the Terra Battle one was. He thinks it should still work more or less like he described it before, but he's not really sure. He looked at FFXIV on request a while ago and said there's nothing in the FFXIV files for their end of it.
The DLC listing on the SteamDB he had one idea for it, but then said something like it shouldn't be as a DLC entry as he thinks something might turn up on the workshop, and that if it does turn up on the workshop, it's probably not the Versus costume asking for officially.
