Can't they decide this stuff for themselves? Why are they always asking fans for advice when the fans themselves most likely can't come to a consensus?

But yes, World of Ruin content would be nice.
 
Can we have... all of that?

This.

I'm liking every single one of those haha. I'm hoping it's really more of them deciding which to put out first rather it being an either/or thing.

I wanna play as Ardyn and Aranea so bad.

edit: also, can we get the Versus XIII outfits?

Lunafreya's activities/Playable Luna pls

I want nearly everything on that list, but I think I might vote for Lunafreya's activities, since she is vital to the story and we should see more of her. I also like Luna in-game (Kingsglaive Luna was kind of silly, but in-game, she was more of the strong character that they were advertising). I also really want Ardyn's past, but I think Luna deserves the limelight here. Perhaps in Luna's side-activities, we can control her to some degree.

I really want all of the story content, damn it.

I think they can add most of them but voting simply puts the priority on the one feature/content they will release first.


Man I hope you are right.

If i only get one.

Playable Luna since that has the best chance of improving the overall game.

Although i would love a power rangers inspired Horde mode set during the World of Ruin.

I wish it was like pick top four, or order from most wanted to least wanted... Choosing just one thing is really tough, and the game could really benefit from ALL of it being added.

Notice that it says "items that receive many votes may be included in future updates". I think it is important that a lot of people vote and that the vote is varied, so that as much of the content gets in as possible.

I freaking love FFXV. All of the story content options here would be amazing.

More character development for Luna should be top priority. It'd greatly enhance the story's emotional core.

But seeing Ardyn before his fall is a tantalizing proposition...

I know, right? Luna should be first, but Ardyn's past definitely needs to be added at some point as well.

It's a bit awkward they kind of consolidated and listed every plot hole or major problem with the current game, but I guess good on them for being aware of them.

And while basically nothing they do will redeem this game for me (and I really, really wish they would stop devoting resources to it), I do hope that it improves the experience for those of you that stick around.

A little awkward that they know the plotholes and what fans wanted after the release of the game. After hyping Luna as a good character... SE now have an option to redeem her. The only problem is that it feels too late... yet I still care. I have no idea why... maybe cause I wasn't satisfied with the 10 year wait.

I want......all of those things. I wonder if they've been adding any story scenes ready for the June update with Episode Prompto. Are there any scenes not included in the survey which would be obvious additions, something that maybe they've worked on already.?

It's BS that you can only vote for one from a lengthy list of awesome sounding stuff.

It should also be noted that Square's idea of "playable" in the context of XV so far means "AI controlled party member," not "player controlled main character."
They consider Cor, Iris and Aranea to be "playable."
 
But why playable character and story content can't be together? Anyway, Luna. Probably I will pick playable character, as it will have some story content too

I still think one of the better things they could add would be detailed letter correspondence between Luna and Noct.

Show us why they love each other, and how they're always tuned into each other, and how they understand each other to a depth and degree unlike anyone else, despite the physical separation.

These letters could arrive via Umbra upon making camp or checking into a motel, once per chapter, for the first half of the game. In these letters, Noctis could bare his soul to Luna, mourning his dad's death, lamenting the pressure he feels as heir, etc. Luna could do her own emotional venting. We could also see a lighter, more playful side to the two lovers.

The letter cutscenes already in the game are so short and simple, functioning more like text messages: "Hey babe, be there soon, xoxoxo." That's fine, but let's see some of the in-depth correspondence they've allegedly maintained over the years. Let us peer into their head space and see their emotional connection so that certain developments later in the story carry more weight.

1. Because its cheaper to itterate on a successful game with DLC then it is to start from scratch on a huge multiyear project.

2. Because it needed to be released last year. 10 years is too long to be in development.

3. Every game is a mmo now.

I...never got the feeling that any of that was really meant to be implied.
They're just childhood friends set up with an arranged, political marriage that they're amicable to because, honestly, they both basically hit the jackpot.

Y'all better vote this. Playable Aranea with the same moveset as the AI would be awesome.
I agree it'd be cool, but the game isn't hurting for playable content. What it needs is more exposition to round out certain characters, like Luna and her relationship with Noctis. And more screen time with Ardyn would be glorious, assuming the same English voice actor is willing to reprise his role.
 
Really hard to pick from these tbh. Nearly all of them could be considered essential and would go a long way to fleshing out XV's narrative and characters. Luna & Ardyn additions (corrections?) would probably benefit the game most if done correctly though.

— really hoping every one of those is added though...

He came back for a few lines in Chapter 13, Verse 2, along with Noctis', Aldercapt's and Ravus' VAs,so I can't imagine it'd be an issue.

They probably have the actors on some kind of retainer.

Please give me a summonable version of Ifrit and Bahamut.

I mean, for newcomers I agree the story bits are better. For me, I don't care much, I already beat it. Yeah Luna or Ardyn needs to be fleshed out but at the end I know who they are and their motives, adding more scenes wouldn't change much to me, hell I didn't even try ch.13-2 because I feel no need to do so.

But new characters with different moveset would push me more to play again than new cutscenes of a story I already know (especially if they would do more post game content in WoR, but that's another thing).

He loves playing Ardyn and returned for the Chapter 13 cutscene expansion. Plus, he was one of the only VAs to voice the same character in the movie and game lmao.

There are mentions in the game that Noctis and Luna have stayed in touch via Umbra all those years. Noctis clearly cares about Luna, and Luna has those heartfelt moments with Gentiana and Ravus where she cries wanting to be with Noctis. I think there's something there.

Also, think about the game's final scene where they're
married in the afterlife
. Why depict such an arrangement if politics are no longer an issue? The answer, baby, is love.

Release a definitive edition with every single bit of story you asked in that survey. That should have been ingame since release but it's better late than never.
