It seems Final Fantasy XV will be in it for the long run; and awhile developers have stated that this will be the only “Final Fantasy XV” title to launch, meaning no Final Fantasy XV-2, it doesn’t mean that the story will not continue via DLC updates.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 was the first full-fledged Final Fantasy title to see DLC pertaining to the story. And while it may not have been large enough to receive a Season Pass, Final Fantasy XV, definitely is.
A listing over on the PlayStation Store has revealed an option for a Final Fantasy XV Season Pass. The listing states: ““The Season Pass allows you to download additional content. This Upgrade is a special deal for customers who have already preordered the FINAL FANTASY XV digital edition.”
The Final Fantasy XV Digital Premium Edition is set to come bundled with the Season Pass for $84.99. However, if you have already pre-ordered the Standard edition of the game, over on the PlayStation Store, you will be eligible for a Season Pass upgrade, for a price of $24.99.
I’m not really sure how I feel about DLC for a title that I have waited well over a decade for. It wouldn’t bother me so much if I didn’t feel like Square Enix are, once again, forcing me to spend additional money just to receive more insight on the official story of the game, whether that be prequel content or sequel content. Hopefully the DLC will be something more like cosmetics, new bosses, or side-missions; basically something that won’t heavily impact the overall game experience.
Final Fantasy XV launches on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on September 30th, 2016.
