When does this take place exactly?

 

[Feltrol]

When does this take place exactly?

Spoiler

After Prompto is thrown out of the train at the end of Chapter 11.

After

Noctis accidentally pushes him off the train

 

[ULTROS!]

Impressions were meh on gameplay, impressed by the story:

Impressions I read seems meh on the gameplay, impressed by the story.

 

[brandonh83]

Well, whatever helps flesh out the events around that time

Ending spoilers, click with caution:

Spoiler

Ardyn humming the fucking victory theme at the end is an all time great moment. It's easily his best moment in the game at the least

 

[Vashetti]

My shot from the opening cutscene, looks great on the Pro

 

[Keinning]

Game isn't even out in some regions yet and you people are already posting ending spoilers? seriously?

guess its time to abandon the internet for a day or two, jesus.

They do a really good job

Spoiler

showing that he really had this all planned out.
He is such a good antagonist by far my favorite in the series.

[NoctisVsStar]

Well at least the story is good going by twitter.

 

[Slater]

It's focused.

It knows what it's trying to do, which honestly is one of the biggest problems with the base game till the final leg.

Really what this and the Ignis teaser showed me is that the leak saying they didn't know what to do with Gladio is super true. Because they clearly had actual ideas for Prompto and Ignis.

 

[dragonzdogma]

How long?

 

[Meowster]

Can't wait to play. Prompto was my favorite character in the game.

What leak?

 

[Slater]

How long?

You can clock just the story in 2 hours like they said. but there are sidequests to do that add to it.

Also a completion reward,

Spoiler

Aranea boss fight like Cor

 

[Ruff]

Lots of lovely close ups of the best folk in this one.

edit: This is pretty nice for a cheapo priced DLC

 

[Solid Sora]

How long?

90-120 minutes for the main story. Thing is, unlike Gladio, there's an open world section with side quests, optional bosses, and stuff. So there's a lot to do.

$4.99 for that? Damn it I just sold my copy of FFXV today too 😩

 

[daffy]

So we gonna pretend this doesnt look like dirge of cerberus

 

[Slater]

What leak?

The OG 4 chan leak that spoiled most of the story, Ardyn, Luna, and the constant rewrites and disjointed story.

 

[PshycoNinja]

$4.99 for that? Damn it I just sold my copy of FFXV today too ��

Also a snowmobile time trial, an "Intense Training" section (don't want to spoil this), and unlockable outfit/weapons.

All for $5. (Or free if you have the Season Pass.)

So we gonna pretend this doesnt look like dirge of cerberus

This has significantly better gameplay and story than Dirge.

 

[Keinning]

So we gonna pretend this doesnt look like dirge of cerberus

have you played it or are you judging your opinion based on some loose artwork

because prompto is the complete opposite of vincent so i have a hard time believing this could be anything like dirge of cerberus

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Come on 12am

 

[True Fire]

The second half of the game desperately needed fleshing out, so this makes me really excited.

My only request is that Tabata add these stories into the main game. Having them tacked on to a special menu ruins the fact that they're a part of the main plot and pretty much mandatory to understand the story (this also goes for Ch 13.2)

 

[Ruff]

Beat it. I'm of the opinion that this badly needs to be a part of the main game post Chapter 11+

 

[The Last One]

Beat it. I'm of the opinion that this badly needs to be a part of the main game post Chapter 11+

Amazing, how long did you take to finish it?

 

[JayEH]

Come on 12am

Did they say it's coming out then?

 

[ramyeon]

Great, downloading while at work and I'll give this a go tonight. Glad to hear positive impressions. Gladio's DLC didn't do much for me.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Did they say it's coming out then?

Don't kill my dreams

 

[ULTROS!]

You got a more in-depth impression?

 

[Slater]

You got a more in-depth impression?

I can, but figured wait a bit, don't want to spoil people

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Bless your kind soul

Modders will do the work, SE too lazy.

 

[Solid Sora]

Modders will do the work, SE too lazy.

I don't understand why people talk about modders like they're gods in FFXV's threads. Things like this aren't easy to implement. If SE didn't do it themselves, no one will.

 

[Chaserjoey]

It's sitting in my downloads right now but I have to wait until Friday because I don't have enough phone data to download this and the patch ._.

Have fun with Prompto everyone!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

If a pc ver releases you'll see them do it. Mind you I don't game on pc but I can already see it. I mean what's so hard inserting for ep prompto once he

Spoiler

gets pushed of the train

? The whole special selection menu does a disservice to the dlc.

Yeah, I also hope for a more organic implementation, but stuff like that is not as simple as you might think (for modders I mean, not SE). Especially with Luminous being a Japanese engine, which means it's probably not mod-friendly.

True that.

 

[Neiteio]

Did they ever say what came of the survey?

 

[Solid Sora]

Did they ever say what came of the survey?

They said they where thinking where and how to reveal the results. Most people are expecting in Gamescom, since they said they have big FFXV plans for it.

I hope they reveal that they were actually already working on everything they listed, but the survey will simply decide what comes out first.

 

[Solid Sora]

So when is this coming for the US PSN? In like an hour and a half or more?

 

[JayEH]

I wouldn't expect it until tomorrow afternoon.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Forgot this was coming out soon. Been occupied with Horizon but I'll make time for this.

Aranea boss fight like Cor

So, logically, in Episode Ignis there'll be an Iris superboss fight.

 

[Solid Sora]

Fuck. I'm really excited for this.

So, logically, in Episode Ignis there'll be an Iris superboss fight.

More like Ravus, I feel.

 

[badcrumble]

More like Ravus, I feel.

Agreed that that's more likely, but Iris is a guest character during the main game and so were Cor and Aranea.

Live via in-game PS Store. Damn it's 3GB.
