Final Fantasy XV, a Cup Noodles commercial cosplaying as a video game, got its first piece of downloadable content this week, and you really don’t need to bother with it. It’s short, straightforward, and—unless you’re particularly attached to Gladio—really boring.

Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
Final Fantasy 15's director has revealed why he left Square Enix back in 2018.
Hajime Tabata famously resigned from Square Enix two years after Final Fantasy 15 shipped in 2016. In a special livestream at the time, Tabata announced his decision to resign from the company, cancelling three of four new story-focused DLC episodes for Final Fantasy 15 in the process.
Man inherited a train wreck and was expected to release this game in under two years after it spent a better part of a decade in development hell. At one point there was even plans to make FFXIII Versus a musical. He did what he could.
Whatever the behind-the-scenes went on over the many years, at the end of the day it was a radical change in direction that I could not go along with. Also why I never bought 16.
Sure does sound boring
Gilgamesh though
Yeah and of course the one that has least to do with the plot first came first. Most interested in Ep. Ignis. It figures his content doesn't even have a release date. Prompto looks like it might be interesting. Hope they improve the game's story with the next two.
I have to admit, this dlc episode is a bit of a dud. However, the Prompto episode teaser looks very interesting.
Spoiler?
What I liked about the DLC is that you get to learn about Cor, and how he got his nickname: Cor the Immortal. Also you get to see Gladio grow as a character, though the span of time it takes to do so (the length of the story, 1 hour) is short. However, you do have access to a Score Mode and training with Cor (very hard). Finally you get to unlock some bonuses for the main game such as a weapon and an a new "outfit" for Gladio.
