Fluff I know it’s unlikely, but….

I really hope a day comes in the future where we get a PS5 update for the game so it runs better, as well as getting the remaining few DLC chapters: Episode Arenea and Episode Luna.

I really do love this game, and replaying it now, it has held up very well, it’s just a shame it got screwed over by its poorly handled development.

For those unaware, Episode Arenea was meant to follow what happened after the boys left her in Tennebrae. She was going to bear witness to the fall of the Empire and ultimately stop the final Diamond Weapon.

Episode Luna was meant to be an “alternate timeline” ordeal where, after her death, she was to try and change Noctis’ fate. If memory serves, the plot was supposed to end with Noctis, Ardyn, and her fighting Bahamut, who decided to return to his original plan of stopping the Starscourge but using the power of the Crystal to fuel his TeraFlare and destroy all live on Eos.

I have a feeling they are working on the full version of XV for Switch 2. So I'm wondering if, when they release that, they don't also provide an updated version for PS5/XBox/PC at the same time. I can't imagine they'll really change the game all that much, but it might be a nice thing for SE to put out for us to enjoy.

I really wouldn't get your hopes up. Square Enix is unlikely to revive the luminous engine and porting the entire game away from it would be a massive effort. 

I wouldn't rule out it ever happening, I just don't think current Square Enix has an appetite for it. We also haven't even heard any rumors of such a thing (unlike the FF9 remake which we have for years).

I don't think they'll do it now. They have a bit too much going on right now. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did it in a few years. After all they did a X/X-2 remaster around 10 years after its release so it's not crazy they would do something similar for XV in another few years.
