Ohhh, well they've kind of screwed up then because they keep giving you a choice of what path to take, and they describe the Gladio/Ignis path as "easy" and Noctis as "Normal" so I never chose it! Most people aren't going to choose "easy", surely?

Also, they should have removed the dialogue line where Ardyn mocks Noct about the ring being weak and "such a let down" or something... Because I was like "What do you mean? It's pretty awesome..."

So, turns out I haven't seen the new stuff at all.

I think you can choose the new version from the 'Special' option on the menu

All that's in there for me is the "Assassin's Somethingorother", and then the episodes + multiplayer under DLC.

It did give the option, several times, to switch to Gladio / Ignis throughout the Noctis section but like I said it describes that as "easy mode" versus Noct being "Normal mode" every time, so I didn't realise that was new and never switched to it, as I would never knowignly choose easy mode over normal! I assumed it was basically just the same section but using Gladio / Ignis for easier combat. Which again didn't make all that much sense since the ring has been upgraded to some sort of one-hit WMD and the whole section is a cake walk .

OK so MORE additional gameplay features have been announced, like optional superbosses and a new Armiger mode once you have the complete collection, and also mod support for the PC version...

I give up. I'm putting this away and playing it in 2025.

I'm on Chapter 7 of a total restart because I wanted to play through with character switching and go for the platinum, and now they've announced more new stuff . I might leave it alone for a few years and get it on PC in the far future when I can play it at 4k/60fps . I mean they have to stop messing around with it at some point... right?

Although they keep breaking little things with it... e.g. if you're any good at the Gladio DLC, he's really overpowered early on in the main campaign if you switch to him in battle. Block / parry up to 4x damage and spam Razor's Edge and he sometimes hits for 9999 at like level 7 or 8...

The Royal Edition upgrade is worth getting, on top of it adding even more weight on the back end of the game, it comes with some pretty good updates.

Also, Comrades got a new story update with quite a few new locations and HQs, along with Chocobo raising and Chocobo Arena.

I always dreamt of doing this

SO... I *may* have dropped Ł600 on a GTX 1080 , and what better to test it than the PC edition of FFXV? The visuals are out of this world tbh. And smoothe as butter 60fps.

BUT IT GETS BETTER...

...the PC version has a mod / utility that you can use to replace all of the Regalia soundtrack songs with your own MP3's. Which is better than any graphics or gameplay improvements combined let's face it. the fellas are getting their groove back.

Comrades is being released as a seperate game than XV, and has two planned updates in the upcoming months

XV itself will get 4 more DLC, we already know about Episode Ardyn, the others are
Spoiler:

Episode Aranea
Episode Luna
Episode Noctis


Apparently all four DLCs will tell a continuing story and will be directed by the Episode Ignis director.

I actually didn't notice the 2019 bit, thats kind of a crazy long wait, but I suppose if we're gonna be waiting a year for them, they will be good.

I still need to finish the main game ... I rebought for PC (the gameplay is so smoothe ). I reckon I'm just going to CheatEngine in a load of AP and Gil around the halfway point though, cut down on a tonne of the grind. Not XP obvz I'll just let that come naturally.

Then of course there's the real highlight of the PC version.

Cindy In Black mod

There are some pretty awesome style mods in general (Kingsglaive costume for Noctis, etc.)

Episode Ardyn is out now! Gotta say it's one of the best dlcs yet, honestly, I think part of the reason why is because there was no Tabata for this one, this one feels so much more character driven. But finally, FFXV is over.

I might actually play it through again now that all the story is out there now. Been waiting about a year or two to do so.

I've still never played it (beyond messing around at hammerhead and the surrounding area) on PC so think I might do a replay on that, too. It's flawless 60fps and honestly looks amazing (and feels great in combat)

I've also still never seen the ending . I played on PS4 all the way up until the time jump but never finished it. So no spoilerz!
