an important correction: Ardyn's story happens at the dawn of Lucis; Solheim is long destroyed at that point (according to the ultimania timeline).

nice guesses about Ep Ardyn: medieval setting, more about the Lucis Caelum line and the establishment of the kingdom of Lucis, Astrals will most likely appear; Gilgamesh as well... and the dlc will make me cry, thats almost certain

Ah, thanks! Totally forgot that.


Does anyone else think that the Platinum Demo would have made a much better chapter 0 than what we got? It also basically can lead right into the citadel cutscene in the game opens with right after. I hope they can put more Noct childhood stuff in, that and namely Dawn trailer stuff would be sublime

Well obviously the Ignis ending is not canon specifically because Tabata said it was purely fan service. That being said, I thought it was great, but in no way better than the real ending. The real ending had consequences and hurt, and I loved that. It was realistic in a sense. The only thing the main game needs is just to spruce up the story a bit to make that ending hit as hard as it should have.
True.

I don’t think it’s canon either but it’s interesting how popular that ending is.

Did Tabata day that in an interview? I don’t recall. Too many interviews for me to keep track of.

So what are everyone's hopes for DLC and Updates?
As far as story updates to the main game goes, whatever update/expansion they do they should focus and involve Noctis, this mean I don't want anything like chapter 13 verse 2. FFXV is Noctis story, while the game is not 100% Noctis centric with some cutscenes taking place outside of his POV, most of the game is still from his perspective, so in order to keep the narrative more consistent and Noctis focus I say don't add (playable or not) scenarios where Noctis is not present. If they are going to add story related stuff outside of Noctis POV then insert it outside of the main game (like the Episodes DLCs)
We know Episode Ardyn is coming, but what about the other 2-3? I personally think we aren't going to get specific character episodes for every single one of the remaining DLC.
Since Luna was the second most request character to get a DLC by fans I bet Luna will be the second one.

I don't know what the third one would be.

Personally hoping a 3rd one throws away the character episode aspect and purely expands chapters 10-12/Northern Niflheim and Tenebrae in a significant way. Either that or a free, huge patch just comes along and does it while someone else does another character DLC (there are multiple FFXV directors now). I'm fine with either, but I just want the 2nd half of the game to be expanded greatly. Luckily Tabata has said that's what they plan to do, so lets see.

Wow.. Ardyn is really rocking that red colour quite well.

Of course Ardyn would wish us a Merry Xmas while stealing a shipload of presents lol

Where is that from? I checked their twitter account and it wasn't there.

Oh.... If a Final Fantasy sometime can have a theme song like this again, I'll be happy. It's just....heavenly.
That is quite lovely. Never heard of this series before though.

Japanese games never disappoint whenever it comes to the music.

Somnus isn't too far off, except it has a more melancholic and tragic feel to it. Still heavenly to me though. I guess that's the closest a FF game has come to being similar to this track.

Somnus is Somnus; it's great, but it's very somber, and since XV underwent those changes it hasn't quite felt the same.

As to SaGa... Basically, it's got some wonderful music, and it's where both Kenji Ito and Masashi Hamauzu first flexed their composing muscles. Just don't try to understand its gameplay systems unless you're a genre veteran. I makes The Last Remnant look simple.

i played Romancing Saga 3, the gameplay is not that complicated, but its definitely more than your usual rpgs (and harder too).

had a blast playing it btw, really need to try the other ones (so many missables tho...).
