Theme song by Nobuo Uematsu.

Release Date: October 31

New press release info.

LOS ANGELES (Sept. 20, 2017) For the first time, FINAL FANTASY® XV players will be able to create their own avatar and join up with three other friends to take on epic quests and battles in the games first and only online multiplayer expansion titled Comrades. Starting October 31, players will set foot as a survivor from Kingsglaive to find out more about the disappearance of Noctis after the events in Chapter 13 from the main game.

As members of Kingsglaive, players equip royal sigils that grant special powers from the Lucian bloodline. Players can then strategize and create a balanced team to take on a variety of quests. In addition to multiplayer quests, single player quests are also available for players to enhance their characters.

Set in a world engulfed by darkness, the expansion casts players as a member of the Kingsglaive, with powers and unique abilities invoked from various Lucian kings, who join forces to bring the Light back to the kingdom of Lucis. Other members of Noctiss crew including Gladiolus, Prompto and Ignis will be made playable in future game updates.

Not bad.

Kayo Police · Sep 20, 2017

I am not ready.

chefbags · Sep 20, 2017

Release date is October 31st this year.

I just want the kingsglaive outfit with the mask from the movie as my outfit. Can't wait to jump in!

Xandremi · Sep 20, 2017

Well at least its free.

Evil Monkey DTT · Sep 20, 2017

Call me a fool but I'm excited, I really liked 15 but I enjoy the hell out of the beta for this. Just hope it has some story chops.

It's not.

No i think in the description it says you have to buy it as a standalone or buy the season pass for the game.

wanders · Sep 20, 2017

That song is a mess

AsakuraZ · Sep 20, 2017

You know, I'm actually excited about this. I hope it really fleshes out the story of what happened while Noctis is asleep and delves into how the other characters cope with his absence.

GunBR · Sep 20, 2017

It's not the kind of thing that I want from a Final Fantasy, but the trailer actually looks good

Is the MP free or do you need PS+?

FriskyrumX · Sep 20, 2017

Really enjoyed my time with the Beta and liked the combat changes they did, can't wait to play it more in depth.

Plywood · Sep 20, 2017

The dancing in the truck, lol.

Socivol · Sep 20, 2017

Why does the trailer mention the Earth when the game doesn't even take place on Earth? lol SE editors are messing up again.

AlexFlame116 · Sep 20, 2017

I really liked the beta so I'm excited! Interesting that they have a new Uematsu song.

And I saw Iris!

You need PS+ and the MP isn't free.

RecRoulette · Sep 20, 2017

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior Prince Noctis?

I liked the beta, but man the tone of this trailer is something else.

otakukidd · Sep 20, 2017

Did they update the battle system for easier use of magic? The magic system in the trailer seems different.

CLBridges · Sep 20, 2017

Gonna check it out upon release. That music was horrible though, you can do better Nobuo.

For the multiplayer battle system, yes. It's a new magic mechanic/ability.

RecRoulette · Sep 20, 2017

Yeah, magic works completely different now, tied to which weapon you have equipped. It's actually really fun to use.

That was my only problem with the battle system in 15 for me cause there was no reason to equip magic over a weapon for me.

ryushe · Sep 20, 2017

I didn't even think about this expansion taking place during

The World of Ruin

and that song... My God, it was wonderful.

Volta Mars · Sep 20, 2017

This is a template for the next Final Fantasy MMO. Or it at least better be.

giancarlo123x · Sep 20, 2017

Wow that was a great trailer. I'm hyped

SE said they want to expand more into games as a service scene.

Just more multiplayer elements in future Final Fantasy games.

HeeHo · Sep 20, 2017

I thought the trailer was corny but I am excited for the release date. Sooner than I expected. I haven't played anything online regularly in a while. I hope this'll fit the bill til Monster Hunter.

I seriously doubt they'll ever make a third Final Fantasy MMO. The last one nearly destroyed the company.

No

Iris the Daemon Slayer.

The dream is dead.

The lore is even deeper than we thought!!! Tabata is a visionary!!!

I wonder how long they actually plan to support this. Naturally at the start things wouldn't be too different. But if they go all the way until where the main game picks up again, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all of that.

And despite that its making back a ridiculous amount of money now.
Mmo's are excellent cwshcows

SoulUnison · Sep 20, 2017

As someone who loved XV, these trailers are really cringey with how seriously they try to present themselves.

They only showed the start of the 10 year gap so the dream should still live! I imagine time will pass as you complete more quests and progress through the story.

Anyway, it looks great. Chapter 14 will now have even more feels when all is said and done.

And you're crazy for thinking that.

There will absolutely be a third online FF.

Raimond · Sep 20, 2017

So is it part of the season pass?

Yes.

disappeared · Sep 20, 2017

Honestly I'm torn between this and just plunging into FFXIV. I want some good character customization and outfits.

Blackleg-sanji1 · Sep 20, 2017

In!! Looking good

JBwB · Sep 20, 2017

I'm actually quite surprised haha. It looks much better than what I expected.

I like "Too Much is Never Enough" a tiny bit more, but I like the song considerably more than Stormblood's theme. About even with "Dragonsong".

Battlechili · Sep 20, 2017

I'm not feeling those custom character models
I guess it shows that the player has a lot of control over how their characters look at least?

The events will actually occur in real time. 10 more years of XV, HYPE!!!

Brazil · Sep 20, 2017

Oh the hype

This is the game that keeps on giving.

Well XIV definitely has more outfits, obviously, since it's been going for several years now.

Character customization is pretty crazy good in XV though. You can customize color of everything and it's so much more extensive then most character creators I've used in even some MMOs.

ryushe · Sep 20, 2017

I thought the song was great

Guess I'll be skipping out on this then lol

I'll wait for the PC release if anything.

It'd be nice if they got Uematsu back for something that wasn't the same style of ballad for once.
