It's pretty obvious this wasn't the "complete vision", as it were. But if they're giving us additional content for free...cool. The game is super damn fun. Unlike Prompto, it's nice to have to kill things.
My thoughts exactly. Hell, if they can open up the second half more and add more Niflheim, Ravus and Luna scenes, I'd be damn happy! They definitely chose between either fleshing out the story or adding more meat to the game in the form of gameplay. Now they can focus on the prior, especially since the disc couldn't even fit more data on it to begin with.

I'm honestly baffled by the anger I've seen at the news that they're adding cutscenes for free.

Like, Kingdom Hearts II had a half hour of ridiculously important cutscenes added in a Japan-exclusive full-priced re-release. This is nothing compared to that. XD;

They need to add stuff in the middle via this update as well.

This is completely wishful thinking(completey let me outline again xD:

-add quests with Iris involved. Ones that tell her backstory and build upon the relationship she has with Gladio and to a lesser extent, Noctis.
Have some flashbacks scenes of their father, you know because he does exist and was brutality murdered.

-have playable segments of kid Noct and kid Luna in the safe walls of the Citadel. Playing hide and seek, chasing a baby chocobo all the while being lightly scolded by Luna to learn a bit about the history of the world and his own destiny

-have playable segments or at least cutscenes of kid Noctis and his father interacting sprinkled throughout the game

-have Cor be more involved in the segment that he's in. Show what he was up to before meeting up with Noctis

-have Cor inform you of how your father died by the hands of Glauca.

-Glacua to be alive and his armour reworked into his organs to keep him alive. Let Noct meet up with him and have his revenge

-give Loki or whatever his name was more screen time and development

-make Talcott and Jared(was that his name, his grandad?)more involved in the story. Give them more backstory a screen time and optional sidequest involving them

-from chapter 4 onwards show 'meanwhile' scenes of what the Nifleheim Empire are up to as we play through the chapters. Show plenty of scenes of the Emporer and Verstael interacting with Ardyn

-show how Aranea starts getting distant from the Empire. Make her appear more often like Beatrix in FFIX for boss battles

-when Ardyn gets his car and you have to follow him let him speand more time with the boys. Let him seem like a friend. When you camp with him, he offers to cook. He asks if it's okay to stop at certain pints while you drive. He then talks almost bitterly about the world but it's hard to tell.


-your first encounter with Ravus should not be interrupted by Ardyn immediately. You should have a boss battle with him where it feels more like he is testing your mettle rather than have a grudge match. When you depleted half his life Ardyn steps in while the battle is happening, grabs both Ravus and Noctis sword stopping the fight

-give Gentiana more screen time and backstory

-completey re-do how we obtain Ramuh (good God that was a disaster). Make him a boss fights. But have him converse with is is a student master way. A bit like how Ramuh was giving advice to Garnet in FFIX


-make very small concentrated sections of playable areas within the Nifleheim Empire by putting us in control of Ravus. No combat just exploration, talking to npc etc.
Adding to this: make similar segments for Luna in Tanabre

-show what Galdio was up to when he left the party

-show how Ignis got blind

-have a segment for Prompto similar to the segment in FFVIII when Cloud falls into the life stream thing while in a wheel chair to present and explain his MT situation. At the end of this segment show a first person mode of Prompto strapped up to the torturing device while he watches Ardyn have his way with him

-alter the Altissia part so we get to fight along side Luna. Have the Leviathan fight be a two parter. We manage to subdue the Leviathan for a while. In the time before Luna calls upon it again, after almost facing death Luna and Noct get to have some time together.
Because he saw the toll it took on Luna to face the Leviathan, he doesn't want her to jump back into the fray. It's difficult for him but he knows he and herself will have to face Leviathan again even though it means certain death.
You defeat Leviathan. Ardyn appears to congratulate you. You impaled him mercilessly in blind rage but to only find out that he was messing with you and you actually ended up impaling your betrothed

-make Tanabre explorable with cutscenes and event going on. Let's us go into Luna's room, raid her closet for panties and play Somnus on her piano etc


-chapter 13 has you playing a almost insane and hopeless Noctis. Then he is calmed by the remembrance of Luna and the "don't look back and keep moving forward" mentality required of his position as King and in respect to his father. The Empire at this point are not in the clutches of the deamons outbreak and Ardyn still doesn't have compete hold over the Empire. This means Idolas is still alive as well as Verstael. Ravus is on the verge of learning more about Ardyn and unfortuntly for him Ardyn has a close eye on his 'investigating' on himself

-it should be shown how the Emporer becomes a deamon and he should be a proper boss fight

-Verstael should still be alive and a puppet of Ardyn as all he is interested in is the research of deamons and experimenting on humans. He should be a boss fights as well with plentiful screen time throughout the game

-we should get to see the madness that issued within the Empire when Ardyns plan has come to fruition. Reading notes was lame as hell

-the dark world shoud be explorable at least up to Lestallum. We should get to catch up with Cindy, Cor, Deamon Hunter Iris, Cid etc and have story scenarios filling us in with the happening the past 10 years

-when you reach insomnia, that was all fine. Doesn't need to be changed much. Maybe make the final battle a bit more grander

This is a very rough idea of what they should do to patch the game. I could have written alot more in detail and chronologically but that would take forever.

And apart from story updates add a bestiary and a 'information' tab like in the wither 3 to detail the character and history of the world.

I swear I remember someone posted in this thread about BD2 planning to expand even more locations in the near-future, unless I'm incorrect?

Yes it was stated. I remember that too. It was definitely recent in this thread. Hopefully they not only do it with DLC, but with these patches on existing places as well, especially in the second half. So much more could be explored this way.

Just a reminder guys, this is the General News Thread. Discussion for this sort of topic should go in its own thread. While I enjoyed reading @ChingleeTribal's post, it also contained spoilers. If you want to create a general purpose DLC suggestion or ideas thread in the spoilers section, feel free. As of right now though, I just wrapped the post in spoilers for those who haven't played the full game yet.

Do you or anyone else know where it was posted? Having a hard time finding it right now.
