Final Fantasy XV will be getting plenty of free updates in the future, according to director Hajime Tabata.
In a blog post on Square Enix’s site, Hajime Tabata outlined plans for free updates over the next year, detailed below:
After that, we’re hoping to delve deeper into the story, adding scenes that will give you new insight into character motivations, such as why Ravus walked the path he did. We will need a little time with these, as they’ll need to be localized and voiced in other languages, but we’ll let you know the details once everything is set.
For the long term, we are looking at making certain key characters playable, and even considering the possibility of customizable avatars, in addition to other features over time.
Other features we have in mind include letting you carry over stats from a previous playthrough, and adding items that introduce new playstyles, such as low-level runs and god mode. We’re also examining readability tweaks – increasing font size – for certain languages. On top of that, we’re looking at content you can enjoy in real-time, including new bosses with exclusive rewards and achievements, and limited-time hunts.
In addition to these free updates, we’re also working on the previously announced downloadable content. This includes:
- FFXV Holiday Pack (tentative name)
- FFXV Booster Pack (tentative name)
- FFXV Episode Gladiolus (tentative name)
- FFXV Episode Ignis (tentative name)
- FFXV Episode Prompto (tentative name)
- FFXV Expansion Pack: Comrades (tentative name)
Speaking on behalf of the development team, I hope all of you, all around the world, continue to enjoy Final Fantasy XV and the Final Fantasy series.
Hajime Tabata
Director, Final Fantasy XV
