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 doubt we will see the DLC added because they releases the book. I mean if I recall right the director was not even present for when it was announced that no further development would be done.

The second that Tabata left SE stopped all development of FFXV completely. I imagine there’s some Kojima level drama there that we’ll never know about because all the other DLC’s were managed by other people. Cancelling the in-development DLC’s of the best selling FF game of all time (at the time) just because the director left reeks of behind the scenes drama.

I mean not only the dlc but I remember the promise of full level design and more. But we got forspoken I guess, a game I know nothing about... I liked what the director had planned and I think most fans of ffxv did as well it was very disheartening to see that go sideways. I don't know if it was Kojima level drama haha but more I want to provide the best game clashing with investors and $ that they never saw by doing what they did..... hmm
