Reddit Rumor: A list of what's planned to be in the next FFXV updates

Link. No reason to believe it's real but still.

The first few updates according to this guy(more at the link):
Just wanted to share what I know, take this as you want.

• There are multiple features that will be added for free the day the season pass episodes becomes available, and those are huge.

• There is a secret DLC but it may take a while, I don't know much about this one, I just know that it may add Insomnia before the events of the game, but this would be a different DLC so they are thinking about releasing second Season Pass (2018) or just releasing this DLC alone and priced apart from the main Season Pass. If they decide to go for the second Season Pass then that's gonna give us another year of working in XV (almost till August/September 2018). If they decide to only release the Insomnia DLC alone then that will take us until April 2018.

Without going further this is what I know.

Schedule:

Update 1.06: Chapter 13 adds Gladio as a playable character to this chapter, you go with Ignis the whole time and he needs to be protected. Some new cutscenes are added.

DLC Free Booster Pack: It's coming the first or second week in march, adds the magitek suit for the 4 with a new design.

DLC Episode Gladio: Adds a full 2-5h Gladiolus experience (time depends on the player) with a new dungeon along with Cor Leonis to make Gladio stronger, by the end you encounter Gilgamesh, a big gear with tons of blades. There will be some backstory about Clarus, Regis, Cor, Iris and Gladio. Also this dungeon will be added to the main game, you can go there with you party but the access to the final boss won't be available, it's only for episode gladiolus. This dungeon won't be accesible unless you have the Gladiolus Episode. More dialog than cutscenes and a lot of challenging enemy battles.

Update 1.07: Some point in May, this one will add a bestiary feature, in order to complete this journal you need to take pics with promptos' ability Snapshot and the enemy needs to use every single move (even special ones) in order to complete each profile, if the enemy didn't use a move against you it won't appear in the list, the overall bestiary has a % of completion and the team is working on expansion trophies/achievements (for bestiary, fishing, recipes and completion of the side quests)

Update 1.08: This one comes in June, will add the ability of going out of the tracks with the regalia using an update with a new mission from Cindy. This mission feature Prompto alone. Also adds Prompto playable to chapter 13 by the moment Noctis is with the crystal. This sequence will be alternated between Noctis gameplay and Prompto gameplay.

More believable than World of Versus at least. Since we already know this business division likely won't make FFXVI(the FFXIV one likely will) they have time over so might as well go all out while they have a big team.

Go on a hunt if old or it's fake.
 
Would be nice if this stuff were organically integrated into the game instead of being sectioned off or something as some of that sounds like it could really help.

Did they ever patch in different font sizes? I remember that being in the list of things they wanted to patch in last year, the text size is incredibly small and makes me feel like I'm 90 years old squinting at the tv...

Ahahahaha.

Just what everyone wanted. More Chapter 13 and what is essentially an escort mission rolled into one.

Good updates and support for people that like the game. Good dev support.
I know so sweet! Can't wait. Can't wait to see how it all pans out

And it begins starting...now

I know NeoGAF will flip their shit, but I'd love a second season pass. As a Final Fantasy game, longevity is far more important than it is for throwaway AAA titles. Making the game better over time is important for the sake of the entire franchise.

Just stop and make FFXVI please

You don't think they're already working on XVI? Square Enix works on 3 mainlines titles at any given point in time. I imagine they'll start working on XVII after XV is done.
 
Lol. So much BS in this leak. It stopped being funny a while ago.

Edit: Also not surprised to see the usual comments again. People start taking the leak at face value... I mean first consider how it sounds unless you have already made your mind.
 
Don't care about the story updates because I have no plans to replay the game anytime soon. The other stuff sounds interesting, although completing the Bestiary is going to be a pain in the ass.

For those who have played this game and didn't like Chapter 13, would adding more characters to the chapter make it more enjoyable for you?
 
Tabata said he's making a new IP after XV DLC, so this game has no affect on XVI, unless something changes drastically.

APzonerunner mentioned that the XIV division is on a hiring spree for non-MMO developers, so XVI is probably coming from there.

Anything to break the monotony would help. Even though all they have to do to make it better is hide weapons around the base.

If they alter/add so much stuff in the main game, they definitely should tweak the NG+. I don't want to run through the game again with 0 difficulty.

Came her to say the same thing, thanks. Take the L with this game and move on. I don't want to play anymore FFXV

Then ... don't? Who here force you to play XV?

As other have mentioned in this thread, they already have other teams working on XVI - unless you secretly want Tabata to direct XVI as well.

Eh. After muscling through chapter 13 and finishing the game already I'm not sure how some of that content is supposed to help the core fan. Snapshot beatiary sounds like an awesome side thing to do WHILE I was playing the core game. Not gonna return to the game to do that though

Not interested anymore really
 
It's funny that people think there's only one Final Fantasy team. The team who did FFXV isn't making FFXVI. Stopping BD2 from adding more content to XV does nothing.

What L? The game sold well, reviewed well and was received pretty well finishing at #6 on the "coveted" NeoGAF GOTY list. Sounds like a W to me.

I actually like the sound of all this. Probably bs though.

100% agree.
I'll do the story DLCs, but man, it's like they are still trying to finish the core game.

Quite a lot of that stuff has already been known/leaked I'm thinking.

Also, the more I hear about how they will turn the game into an actual fully fledged story and product like a year after release just pisses me off even more with the state of the game at release.

Hmm a secret separately priced DLC in Insomnia?

I purchased the season pass before the DLC lineup was actually announced on the promise of access to all the upcoming DLC. Now they may want to charge extra for Insomnia content (which should have been in the main game anyway)? Fuck off if that's accurate.
 
Just would like some hard mode or something that buffs up mobs.

I'm going to platinum the game today, then I'll take a break allow for dlc to release, hopefully some new cut scenes, and added content, and play again on new game plus. Works for me.
 
You don't think they're already working on XVI? Square Enix works on 3 mainlines titles at any given point in time. I imagine they'll start working on XVII after XV is done.

The reason why people (including myself) are reacting this way is because this is the first time they've given a single player FF such strong post-release support and it's for a game that's so... Bad.

So two different leaks now with different info...

Anyway we'll find out soon enough. And lol at people somehow still thinking that BD2 working on XV DLC will stop XVI. BD2 is not the only FF developer at SE guys. Don't know how many times this needs to be said.

Insommia dlc.. I mean for what? To play as who?

I don't know if this leak can be true, but surely address an important plot hole in the game, something we've seen in Kingsglaive but is not present in the game:
Clarus is Gladio and Iris father, he died by Glauco's hand but in the game Gladio and Iris seems to be unconcerned of this.

I think everyone knows that but they still feel the need to tell everyone just how bad FFXV is at every single opportunity.

Should probably take random reddit/4chan rumors with a grain of salt.

Oh I am. Sounds like people are just trying to make believable things from tabata's previous comments but then go on adding BS like World of Versus or a second season pass...
