ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Final Fantasy XV’s first round of downloadable content is set to drop on December 22, Square Enix revealed today. Two types of content will be available with the Holiday Pack and Holiday Pack Plus – the latter available exclusively for Season Pass holders.

In addition to the Holiday Pack, fans can download a new update adding New Game Plus, and a photo frame feature for social media updloads. Both Holiday Packs will be distributed at the same time as these free updates.

New Game Plus will allow you to bring your clear data over to a new game. SNS photo framing will allow fans to attach photo frames when posting to social networks.

When will they reveal what these contents actually are?

Edit: never mind, rest of the article says what it is. Bunch of useless things basically. Not even a sexy Santa outfit for Gladio.
 
Full list of items you can get by grabbing the free Holiday Pack and the paid Holiday Pack+ (in Japanese) is http://www.4gamer.net/games/075/G007535/20161215106/, along with examples of SNS frames from the update, as well as the new costumes you can get from both packs.
I guess NC will update their article once they're done translating it.

Anywya, I don't really know how to feel about the carnival and those DLC specific accessories.
 
Wish the Holiday pack would come a little earlier than 3 days before Christmas. Not much time to use.

Now New Game Plus... I can't imagine playing this game beyond the Platinum. Some of this game is a total slog. Such a shallow, boring open world on top of that. But, I keep playing so I guess something is OK.
 
I was waiting for the Pro improvements and chapter 13 improvements before playing the game. But this doesn't sound like it will include either?
 
I'm holding off playing the game until the 60fps patch comes in. Would be nice to get a date soon...also chapter 13 fix isn't in? Isn't it just buffing a weapon?
 
wait!, wait!, wait!
I've been holding off on playing this, where's the pro patch Tabi, where!!!
Oh man, so tired of fishing and playing justice V being at level 1 pauper prince quest.

;(

Merry Christmas Dragonzdogma :(
Scrooge has won.
 
Can't wait! The New costumes look hilarious and Ray Chase already teased that the DLC will have hilarious dialogue.
 
I'm holding off this game until they get the story stuff straight and the Pro patch, but that costume DLC everyone is posting is really tempting.
 
Are they fixing the framepacing on base ps4? that's all I care about they shouldn't spend time on anything else till that is fixed.
 
Don't give a shit about your DLC packs SE, just confirm whether this patch includes the promised Pro upgrades ..

Trying to distract us with dumb mariachi outfit for Noctis apparently is working here
judging from the reactions :(

Extremely bummed out- oh well...I'm starting the journey soon then.
 
Will the entire group get outfits too?
 
Realistically SE aren't gonna get much money going forward for FFXV.

Game sales are very much front loaded.

Also look at trophy acquisition percentages for DLCs for games.
Only a tiny fraction actually buy them / complete them.

So expecting much from the 'season' past those side episodes is probably a bad idea.

A good proportion of the staff on the team should be working on whatever new project they've got cooking up as well.
 
Given the recent announcement of the major content overhaul for 15, I'm guessing the Pro improvements have been sidelined and the team is focused on the other announced improvements.

They should fix up whatever they were planning to fix and then get to XVI. I'm not saying it to be impatient, but the series needs to take lessons from XIII on (good and bad) and turn the page now.
 
Wait, if I can get Bros like The Four Amigos, then I swear I will buy the damn Season Pass. I will also give Noctis a gun so at least two soliloquy have proper weapons.

Edit: A gun belt on the costume would be amazing. And yes I realize this is done and I will be part of the problem but hell I really like some fun parts of this game and if the money goes to FFXV-2 or FFXVI based on the open world concept but enhanced then so be it.
 
Can we get mariachi renditions of the soundtrack when wearing the Carnival outfit?

And boo, I wanted Christmas outfits. Gladiolus as Santa and the rest in green tights and elf ears along with antlers for the car.
 

To be clear , that "sure" was not the pro version update.

What if they fixed it, but wont really mention as to not make the populous think that their game had issues in the first place?
It will be interesting to see Digital foundry do another run to see if the frame pacing issues are gone?
