There will be 2, half hour talks tomorrow and sunday about never before seen features for the Windows version as well as Royal Update content.

Also, Blindingawesomeness (Mod at r/FFXV) had this to say about it:

"They're supposed to announce more preorder bonuses (I don't know when), and based on the information I have, there's more to be included in the Royal Edition than they're letting on. A new trailer may be coming, as well."

Now I'm hyped. Season Pass 2? More updates to other chapters? More gameplay features? Man, I do hope we get a trailer for something this weekend. Hell, maybe some info on Episode Ardyn.

I did have this feeling that the Royal Edition would have more content than advertised, or that they would save some of it to keep the hype going before release. With how excited they were about releasing it, it seemed like there could have been more not shown here.

yes, same leaker that made that topic on reddit.
Then it it might be true, but we'll wait and see, but I will say, that needing keys to get around Insomnia might end up being a good move, like I said earlier, the citadel itself is too easy to get into, and the keys could be found somewhere within Insomnia, we may have to go looking for them before getting into the citadel.

In about 18 hours or so.


And on top of that, even with the leaks on the achievements end, new content that hasn't been shown doesn't have to specify there being more achievements.

We know Cor and Luna show up at the end. We know the KG are there too, but we don't know if there are any achievements linked to that. Its also possible some story or gameplay additions could be made elsewhere too even without the addition of achievements.

Its also just possible that not everything new was put in the benchmark. Its not like it had models for Cerberus, the Kings, Omega, images for Insomnia's Map, etc.

I know it's tomorrow, I meant the time it starts EST clock-wise. I don't know what's going to happen if it's new stuff, the expanded Insomnia announcement destroyed me, man, there's a possibility that tomorrow could wreck me in some way. Even if it's the stuff found in the data-mine, I'd be fine with it, but I'm willing to be surprised.

I think around 7:30 EST. UTC time is 5 hours ahead and is starting at 12:30 tmrw.

Good to hear, thanks. When tomorrow comes, I'd like a link posted here for all of us to see it.

According to BlindingAwesomeness, there may not be a livestream, but if there is, I'm sure it will be here through PC Gamers twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/pcgamer. If there is a trailer, then that will DEFINITELY be posted. But if worst comes to worst, it will probably be twitter translations or something.

All in all we'll get the info tmrw. Hopefully it will be good and have something we haven't learned before.

Thanks, and yeah, we'll see what happens. The wait for March 6th is going to be gruesome, especially for me.

How would you guys feel if they just added the majority of KG's scenes in key moments throughout the game? Most people complain the game is severely lacking in the CG and cutscene department. One easy way to fix this is to actually just KG scenes that slowly reveal what happened Insomnia up until Noctis gets the ring.

The prologue of the game honestly should have just been a shortened version of this:


Being realistic here and its probably safe to say they'll never adapt Kingsglaive into game form, but with 2 hours of CG here, why not utilize it in the game and spruce up the majority of the game's story and cutscene issues?

I feel like its a win win for everyone.

Perhaps, I felt making Kingsglaive it's own thing was a mistake after I beat FFXV for the first time, perhaps some of Kingsglaive's scenes could be implemented at some point, but we'll see. And making Glauca appear only in the movie and not the game as well was disappointing, after seeing him in action, his design was really cool and had a nice sword, and great in combat and motive, I thought he'd show up at some point in the game as a boss, and that was something I was very much let down by, especially since he was a great character, but hopefully, the updates/DLC make up the parts of the story I felt lacking. Cerberus was another example, but thankfully, Cerberus is being added to the game as a mandatory boss in Insomnia in the Royal Pack DLC, and I'm excited to fight it, as I wanted to fight it since Kingsglaive, and it has a great design, and this was a Daemon I've been wanting to fight against the most.

They'd also have to fix Ravus and Lunas appearance as well as their voice actors (along with Regis) to match their actual game voices and appearance.

It would be nice of this was an optional thing people could download (it would take a decent amount of hard drive space) as free DLC.

You could still buy the movie and watch it, but the key scenes should be in the game.

Yeah, but like I said, we'll see what happens, I would be fine with that if they did that, but I'm keeping my expectations low, and I listed a disappointment in regards to Kingsglaive in my previous post.

dunno, the cg wasn't well implemented during gualdin quay, but the ones during cid's talk at the garage and noctis dream were nice.

They also put a Kingsglaive scene in Episode Ignis when Ravus was talking to Caligo about his arm. There is a possibility they could implement some Kingsglaive scenes as long as they were well edited, but I'm not exactly sure they'd do it or not, but we'll see.

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.
