Thankfully even Square realises this game is a joke and should be treated as a joke

Where is Thor 2: The Dark World in the poll? Mods disappoint me.

Remember back on the Omen CG trailer for FF15 it had the Assassins Creed Logo? I guess they were sorting deals out at the time?
I always thought that was just because there was stealth elements in FFXV.

I just saw a video for this, I thought someone threw a hit of acid in my coffee...
This is pretty uncharted territory for Final Fantasy and Assassins Creed, both are very established series' by now but this is new for any series really. It makes you wonder how much was paid to Ubisoft to put this together or if it will be all paid in micro transactions?
It doesn't actually look too bad, dare I say it, it actually looks fun, its just weird.
This game in general though... FFXV has done alot of bizarre things since they've been doing all these updates. The (now) annual Moogle/ Chocobo Festival, the ability to change the Regalia into a monster truck and go off road, the timed quests, then the currency for doing timed quests, the multiplayer and now this. It makes me think Square-Enix wants to keep this game as relevant as possible until they announce something new or give a release date for the first part of the remake.
This one just kinda messes with my head, not in a bad way it'd just be like Mario running through Sonic levels collecting rings. Something you would have expected to do with a Game Genie back in the day.

Dude, yeah. I hate fun so much. It's so overrated. Honestly ...why can't we just live in a world in which every piece of media is Spec Ops: The Line?

Does anyone remember the Mass Effect armour in FFXIII-2? That was weird.

Looks like there are two outfits. One is for the whole party and doesn't need the Dream Egg. The other is available for just Nocits and requires the Dream Egg. I already have it so I can't wait to get both of them.

It's hilarious how we keep getting all this content nobody asked for instead of fixing the story which everybody asked for.

Reminds me of two guys in a hot tub.
Unless, they remake the game (which they aren't going to do) the story isn't going to magically be fixed by patching in some cutscenes and adding dlc. I don't know what some of you are expecting at this point.
I agree, but the hype was too much. I enjoyed FFXV for what it was, it's nowhere near a masterpiece or fantastic Final Fantasy game in my opinion, but I'm really looking forward to playing it again sometime in the future with all the updates & DLC they've released.
Have you bought your Roen clothing, your Audi car, your Coleman picnic products, or your year supply of Cup Noodles yet?

It's hilarious that lots of posters don't realize that they can have multiple people on different projects at the same time so that means that multiple things are being worked on. But instead they resort to cheap hot takes and probably would have been the same people who would have complained if Square had released nothing extra to the game while they were waiting for the story content.
FFXIII-2 had AssCreed costumes too (and Mass Effect):
Fake-EDIT: Wtf, before I watched the trailer I thought it'd just be costumes!? Has more set piece city parkouring like in the E3 '13 trailer than the actual Altissia section in the final game, lol. I don't mind the silliness of it all when it's just a free update anyway. Just embrace it 🤷
Now, yeah, this effort could've went into something that fleshes out the actual main game's story, but I honestly expect them to do some kinda second Season Pass next year with Episode Ardyn and stuff like that from the June polls, anyway.

The story is there and its good, delivery was the problem. They can make it a lot better adding more cutscenes. Of course it wont help with poor directing and some weird choises and story pacing issues, but all "who's jared" memes could be fixed if there would be actually cut scenes and flashbacks who jared even was.
Wont fix everything but still make it a lot better.
I can understand this argument when we are talking about Afrojack sword, Cup Noodles helmet etc. But here we have lots of content with plot (?), quests, costumes, new gameplay mechanics, voiceovers and a lot of different stuff. Everything that could be a regular DLC if you replace assassin's stuff with regular things.

It's free and looks like it'll be fun.
Some free costumes and a more explorable Lestallum(temporary I'm guessing) is pretty great.
I see nothing wrong, I'm hyped.

Sadly, I don't think they do.
I always wondered if they were allowed to do that. Now I see why!
They seem to imply that even the two AC trailers have Easter eggs, but aside from the dog in the latest trailer, looking awfully similar to Umbra, i didn't see anything related to FFXV.

It's weird as hell but it looks like they put more work into this than the chocobo carneval
I'd kill for that.

At first I was "Square, what the FUCK are you doing?"
But then I figured "Eh, it's free content."

I'd prefer they go forward with XVI myself once they finish working on it. But I'm just happy where we are!
... I really do want them to move on to XIV though.
Completely free content that looks fun and is absolutely optional and people still find a way to complain about it... I will never understand.
Anyways, for those asking, getting the dream egg is fairly easy. If available, go to "Special" in the main menu and go to the festival. Fastest way (or at least how I did it) to get the 50 tickets
Spoiler tagged that in case anyone cares about those kinds of spoilers.
Honestly this looks fun. Hope the climbing is something added outside just this.

is to do the Moogle Plush photo quest and the arena minigames.

I really don't get where this "the story is an unforgivable mess" meme came from.
They told us what happened to Ravus. They just need to explain Ardyn's backstory (planned), and explain Ifrit's role in the scourge (planned) and the story will be 100% coherent.

When they do FFXVI it's not gonna be with Tabata or BD2. They're focusing on FFXV and making a brand new IP likely carrying over the tech the lessons learned from FFXV.
With FF7R becoming an internal project I don't see them having enough staff to do XVI just yet.

If you told me three years ago that this game would have a collaboration with AC in the form of parkour mechanics and costumes I'd have laughed, but here we are.
So hype!
