FINAL FANTASY XV cancels Future DLCs

As a fan of Final Fantasy XV, I can fully admit the game is flawed. The story is not well told, there are major characters that aren’t given time to shine, and there are huge chunks of the story missing. Fans were hoping that the future DLC’s that were announced for 2019 would fulfill the holes that the main game left. Unfortunately, it seems Square-Enix has canceled all future DLC for FFXV except one; the Ardyn DLC for March 2019.

In April, Square stated they were working on 4 DLC packs: Ardyn, Aranea, Luna, and Noctis. Hajime Tabata, the director of XV, has announced that he is leaving Square-Enix. Whether he will still be with Luminous Productions, his spin-off company from Square-Enix remains to be seen. There was also news that FFXV Comrades would be released as a standalone title in 2019 for PS4 and Xbox One. You can watch the press conference below but it’s in Japanese.

Final Thoughts:

Final Fantasy XV will be officially finished by 2019. It’s unfortunate that we will never see the backstory for Luna and Aranea considering that they were important but barely in the story. XV is going to be remembered as a bad entry in the series. Even as a fan, there’s huge flaws in the game and the push for DLC to fix them are ridiculous to defend. So I guess I’m not a fan anymore. Square-Enix has burned me once again.

P.T. Returns!

Konami has been on a slippery slope with their fans since they fired Hideo Kojima (Creator of Metal Gear series). Kojima’s last project with Konami was P.T. (Playable Teaser for an upcoming Silent Hill game). With his release, the game was canceled by Konami but also removed from the PlayStation Store. This made the demo unobtainable for fans. Luckily, fans have remade the game for the PC. Artur Łączkowski, who is working on a remake of Silent Hill 2, helped create the game.

You can download the game through this link. Konami may force Arthur to close the website so get it while you can.

What did you think of this year’s Blizzcon? Was there enough interesting announcements or did you hope for different content?

TL; DW Nintendo Direct 11/1/2018

The Game’s roster is complete! I can’t wait for December!

Ken is an Echo Fighter for Ryu. A speedier version with his signature Flaming Shoryuken and two different Final Smash! His moves are different and involve more kicks.
Heavy Shoryuken only
Incineroar, the final evolution of Litten, smashes into the ring. He is the best starter Pokemon introduced in a long time (Sorry Greninja..) He has a bunch of wrestling throw moves and looks to be slow like Ganon. Cool poses for every move that lands but they are cancelable.
A friend to all
Piranha Plant: This fighter will be available as an early-purchase bonus for players who purchase the game between 11/1 & 1/31. This fighter will arrive around February 2019. Digital pre-orders will receive a code for the character automatically when it’s released, while players with physical copies of the game will need to register their purchase with their My Nintendo account to receive the code
Each new character will receive an amiibo
Trophies have been changed to spirits! You can collect spirits in the game similar to trophies. They can be used to power-up your character Spirit Battles. You can fight for specific spirits but the COM will be powered up.
Spirits can be fed, trained, and travel to improve their stats. Is this Pokemon?!!!! Some of them evolve and have type advantages. You can “send spirits back to the real world” to get their cores to buff your characters. Spirits can be used to evolve your amiibo by sacrificing them.
New assist trophies on characters that deserve to be in the game.
RIP the dream
The season pass will be Fighter Pass. It will include new stages, fighters, and music. Each will be released as a set for $5.99. Get all of them for $24.99.
New Adventure Mode! World of Light where every character has been turned into light except for Kirby. We have to solve the mystery.
Wireless connection to fight other players playing on handheld mode.
If you rage quit, then you’re booted. Don’t John and don’t be salty.
Elite Battles: For high ranked players, you’ll be allowed into a top tier player zone. Depending on player dominance, balance changes can occur in the future.
You can train while waiting for online matches!
