Why couldn’t the standard FFXV’s box art look as nice as the Royal Edition’s

I very much always prefer Yoshitaka Amano’s artkwork to grace Final Fantasy boxart than character renders.

Come to think of that same preference of mine applies to most JRPG franchises in general with great character design artists like Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, Tales of, Persona, Pokémon, Mario & Luigi, & Star Ocean.

i flipped by booklet to the all black,

did the same with the last guardian as well. more games should do that stuff for minimalists like myself

neocores80552241d ago

suxs 15$ for the upgrade pack and it dont even come with the DLC season pass ur better off buying the damn game new

FallenAngel19842241d ago

I can’t even find the option to buy the season pass separately anymore

Square Enix clearly didn’t think this through

Here on PS4: https://store.playstation.c...
Here on XBO: https://www.microsoft.com/e...

Maybe there was a glitch earlier or something, but it seems to be on both stores still.

But I agree that $15 for Royal + $25 for Season Pass with no upgrade option discount for those with the base game and nothing more seems a bit bizarre. I'll just end up grabbing it on PC where you could find deals to preorder it for under $40 even. Feels like they could have handled the pricing structure better.

FallenAngel19842241d ago

I guess you have to specifically look for it under the FFXV tab now because it no longer appears by simply typing in Final Fantasy XV.

But this pricing is really detrimental to early adopters. For merely $15 more than you would get for the Season Pass & Royal Edition bought separately you could get the entire package

Ranking the Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition DLC Episodes

Rango writes: I recently beat Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition for the first time and I've got to say it was an impressive game. Now that I've finished tackling the DLC episodes, I would like to briefly cover each episode and how well they stack up with one another and the core game as a whole.

Episode Ignis is the best...not even a debate.
Of the episodes in the Royal Edition.

I haven't played Episode Ardyn though. It's on my mind now. Right after Death Stranding then.

Teflon02928d ago

I forgot to try them. This reminded me I've never done them. I may have to go back and do them now

Snookies12928d ago

You are correct, Ignis had the best DLC hands down.

Iltapalanyymi927d ago

still mad they cancelled the other dlc episodes

It's not an anomaly, MS spent all last gen working on their BC software, Sony just started. Will we see it expand to meet MSs version? Who knows, would be cool, but i wouldn't hold my breath. Just greatful we get any for of BC honestly

phoenixwing1132d ago

this mentality melts away once you get a pc. then it's not about luck it's about gaming with a complete library :)

Sunny123451132d ago

Lol complete library with not a single exclusive goty in the last 10 years. I think pc had like 2 exclusive games above the meta of 90 online past 5-7 years. No thanks to your mediocre library

phoenixwing1132d ago

You have to be really delusional to hate on pc gaming library that spans around 40 years.

isarai1132d ago

I have a PC, it isn't that easy, especially with older games where you have to start running off dos, fiddling with compatibility modes or virtual machines. Sure modern games are fine, but if we're talking going back as far as consoles, it's not easy

AndrewM1132d ago

Just recently got a gaming pc for first time in over 12 years....and your comment is still dumb.

Dragonopolis1131d ago (Edited 1131d ago )

Its not a totally dumb comment but a bit harsh. As far as a full library..... most are generic knock offs of popular games within their genre. 60%-70% of the games are blah on pc.

Add in all the cheaters and exploiters makes online pc gaming not fun.

Also in the PC world the regular gamer who has the most expensive hardware is at major advantage over those gamers who stick to basic controls mechanisms. Great Hardware goes a long way in overcoming poor strategies. Hardware can make or brake a gamer, no matter how good they are, and paying for premium PC hardware is a must for any serious gamer on PC

Type 40 or more wordspm and a macro keyboard is godlike on PC

@Sunny12345

You're missing the point dude. With PC you don't just get PC games, you get ALL the games.

I love that the new hardware is bringing a new lease on life to existing games. Hell... I'd love it if Sony could add in PS3 support at some point as well. I know i will get disagrees who think new machine means 'only' new games but we are seeing new experiences with existing games. So why not embrace the benefits of making something old feel new again?

Orchard1132d ago (Edited 1132d ago )

Totally agree - I would love PS3 backwards compatibility. I'd love to replay MGS4 on a modern console at 60FPS (or even a stable 30fps if Konami won't patch it - the game struggles a bit on PS3).

Fist4achin1132d ago

Full BC would be the greatest!

dmonee1132d ago

Are we still doing this? I thought fanboy articles were a ps3, xbox360 thing?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1132d ago

Thank God last gen games are BC and better than ever because if it weren't for them we'd all still be playing Demon's Soul's and The Medium for the last 5 months....
