Guess that rumored Final Fantasy Versus XV expansion was fake then?
This is cool and all, but if it's just stuff i can only access througj a menu instead of playing the actual game (like the DLCs), it's making me pretty uninterested.
Dude, YES! Should be the default style, at least for the time-skip.
Iggy's new hair style is so much better than the original look.

Maybe I was confused about what the poster was talking about. In the trailer posted in OP, there's about 5-10 seconds of a 2:30 video dedicated to free stuff.

Even if it wasn't, i doubt it's happening anymore. BD2 has it's hands full. They keep releasing updates and we just learned that they are searching for a way to bring the game to Switch with Unreal 4. They are also preparing for the next game (new IP) in 2018. I doubt we will get any significant expansion after Ignis DLC.

Free story updates looks really good, that pretty much leaves just Ardyn then. I hope they are all included in Windows Edition also, when it's time for a DLC sequence prompt would come and you could choose to play it (or when at bonfire, same as you can choose present and past). So you wouldn't have to go through main menu...
And damn that multiple hunts, JUST as I completed pretty much everything. Well, will be much easier on PC then.

Of course it was.
A classic in how not to produce games maybe.

Unfortunately my free time is too short for me to be able to replay any game, especially a 50+ hour Rpg.

I find it fascinating to watch all of these "Universe" trailers. Square has been doing this sort of thing a long time - I remember the old FF7 compilation projects, like Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus - but now the difference seems to be that the gaming industry has reached a point where releasing "new content" and "expanded universe" stuff is seen as the thing to do rather than just milking.
Overall I think it's cool. I've been waiting until FFXV hits PC to play the game so I will have a lot of stuff to consume when 2018 hits.

Waited for 10 years to play this game, girlfriend gifted it for my birthday back in July and I'm waiting to finish college next month to start it. Might as well wait a bit longer at this point.

The experience this game gave at launch was EVERYTHING but complete. Unfinished plot, unfinished areas, unexplained characters and very important plot points.
But as a Postman Simulator you got the best experience in the market with more than half the content being just pointless sidequests that had absolutely nothing to do with the game or the story. Unforgettable experiences like taking pics for the fat guy from Lost, getting food for half the restaurants of the game so they can feed you with them, getting weapons for the weapons sellers so they can sell them back to you, fedding cats, looking for some steamy pipes, capture the frogs!!, "search the idiots that got lost hunting monsters" and the most important one: searching stones for the guy that's supposed to be a journalist but lol he wasn't.
......... I want it.
FFXV is actually remarkably short. If you just did NG+ with your previous levels and didn't do any of the optional quests you could probably beat the game in 15-20 hours.

Cautiously optimistic. If it's shit like Ch 13 Verse 2 fuck off
But seriously tho I'm veryyyy happy about more Gentiana screen time.
Episode Ignis looks good too.
I wish we got an additional CG cutscene but that seems like a pipe dream

Did I misunderstand or can you now do multiple hunts simultaneously?? That was one of my biggest gripes because it was such an obviously flawed decision that broke the game's flow with all the loading screens if you fast-travelled between hunt tipster and hunt location for every single hunt. Always hoped, but didn't expect them to change this since they haven't really made any substantial QoL changes like this yet (besides the off-road car).
Changed completely how? There hasn't been any huge change besides the small extra section in Chapter 13 and the off-road car. Unless these free story additions they showed here are actually meaningful it's still fundamentally the same game.

Holy shit, I missed it out when this was released so seeing it right now, this looks so damn good. I am still waiting to play Prompto DLC but I might finally jump in when the first additional story content is released.

Id agree to some extent if they actually added the mp combat to sp

I'm extremely curious to how much this Universe has cost SE. There's a hell of a lot to it!
I doubt a DE will fit a bluray at this point.

The full game size after all patches and DLCs is now over 60 GB and the additional story content might just make it even bigger. There is no way they can fit it all in a single disc.

Sounds interesting but really needs to be integrated into the main game.

It's always made little sense to me that so many developers essentially toss a fuckload of work away when a game is finished, Square Enix included.
They spent years and years building this world and these characters. It makes perfect sense to keep telling more stories with them or trying out new types of gameplay (like the multiplayer expansion, or the weird fishing game).

So much things can be done with the mods for this game :
- Actual hard mode
- switching party members on the fly
- having actual party members having their own gameplay
- the return of the red moon : when up, monsters at night are way more difficult, just like breath of the Wild.
- more varied monsters scattered throughout the fields
- if scripting is feasible, doing new and better quests than the fetch quests we have currently.
- Custom dungeons
- Pitthios 2.0
- and only naming a fews!
Like, just imagine what the fans will be able to do when that game will release on PC and will be complete!

I'd wager the vast majority of those things are outside the realm of realistic possibility. This isn't going to be like an Elder Scrolls game on PC where modding is simple and easy and you've got a robust toolset.
Shouldn't someone add to the thread title that there will be indeed free story updates coming? That was something that left many wondering since it wasn't clear if they intended to add to the story through DLCs or actually through new cutscenes in the main game.
EDIT: I mean, yeah, the info is in the OP, but maybe people skip the thread beause they think it's just another Universe trailer like at gamescom with stuff we already know.

I honestly would like more "game" content that just bacstory cutscenes. I don't care anything at all about Luna or Gentiana.

Nobody can actually care about them because they were almost not relevant in the game. In order for people to care they needed to be included first.
According to a recent interview, the interviewer suggested this and they were like "we've never thought of that."
So this basically means they thought that exiting out of the game to the main menu was the most optimal implementation - dozens of developers couldn't come up with this on their own, so don't get your hopes up.
If I'm totally honest I don't really care that much about what happened with Shiva
and Gentiana is unfortunately an uninteresting character too. These new cutscenes are nice and all, but I fear they'll feel disjointed and shoe-horned in unorganically like the Kingsglaive or Omen scenes, lol. Of course I hope they prove me wrong!

I would like for the OP title to reflect this too.
I'd say the Chapter Select and Bestiary are great QoL improvements.
I just have no interest. Luna was terrible in the movie and the same in the game. And at this point I don't care why Ifrit turned into an ass. I felt the story was finished (even if poorly) on the base game and I'll rather have new playable contents like the regular DLCs.
I'm not going to go back for the game just to watch new cutscenes but I will surely do if they have new playable content.

Bestiary is good although hindered by a janky and slow UI.
Chapter Select shouldn't show available chapter names/synopsis until after you select a save file to avoid spoilers, but otherwise it's good.
Honestly, two of the best and most sorely needed additions to the game since launch, even if they're a bit sloppy.
Not really that relevant to me, as I'm talking more about UI and gameplay loop improvements, like the hunt capacity stuff that I've been criticizing since release
Glad they changed it, but I hope it's not half-baked where you still have to go back to the tipster after a certain amount of hunts instead of just selecting other ones from the quest log menu after having talked to the tipster once.Now I kind of wish someone could abridge XV.

Yeah aside from Episode Ignis and the Multiplayer Expansion, everything in that trailer was old content aside from the 2 second flash of "new" footage lol. Episode Ignis looks like where the stuffed all the additional scenes fleshing out that one dudes character that hes with in that trailer.
Cant decide if I should wait to play through the game again for the PC version or just play the PS4 version again. Does anyone know if all the additional DLC will be included with the PC version?
