While Square Enix is looking into the possibility of adding more character DLCs to Final Fantasy XV, there are no plans to integrate them into the main game.
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.
Final Fantasy XVI’s launch was very different than Final Fantasy XV’s and the two mainline game releases are difficult to compare for a number of reasons.
While it seems really cool and people seem to really be enjoying it, I'm in the mood for a real jrpg right now, not an action game.
This is the first mainline Final Fantasy game I didn't pick up at launch since the original FF7 on PS1.
I'll certainly get it eventually, just not in the mood for this right now. Personal taste.
Well,
FF15 launched on more platforms than FF16
FF15 cost less to buy than FF16
The PS4 install base was bigger when FF15 released compared to the PS5 for FF16
I don't understand, Tales of Arise is a jrpg. It's also an action rpg, it even has less jrpg elements than FF16. The impact of PS5 exclusive is really strong.
I'm currently somewhere in the middle of FF XVI I think, and so far I'm enjoying it. Problem when comparing the two is there is a lack of bromance in FFXVI and it's less open worldish. In FF XVI the accompanying characters feel more like accessories that don't bring much to your playthrough outside of cut scenes.
Real shame, some of this stuff downright NEEDED to be shown in the actual story.
"While they can’t do all of them, they definitely want to look into the possibility of creating character DLCs for the characters that are most highly requested"
If that's the case they would have had a Luna/Iris DLC to give us some development on a female character...didn't need a survey for that.
FFXV's story has been so fragmented over the passage of time across various media
FFXV: A Fragmentary Passage
FFXV great on everything battle system how smooth 1080p 60fps on pro but when its comes to story its ruin everything. Almost every character sound and looks intersring in this game even the leader of Atlissia, but story just cut off characters here and there with suddenly appears and disappears. Its so strange that Imperial leader wasn't part in the game, Nyx or at least his fat friend whom saved Luna. FFXV Story is like being made by drunk who have golden ideas and pretty much solid creative base but got too much drunk to level of bluffing and skipping half of the details and someone is just took notes to convert directly to Novel without even trying to connect the ideas or edit on it.
that is so stupid, what a shame.
