Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodle XV Special Edition

Basically pre-ordering all the DLC, usually before you even know what it will be.

Kinda, I'm pretty sure you can still buy some season passes after the DLC has been released. It's like a bundle but you can pre-purchase it. This game will likely be flooded by cosmetic DLC so it's probably not worth it... if they come up with substantial DLC it'll be a separate purchase.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Usually you can no longer buy a season pass after the last piece of DLC is released. But, a) semantics, and b) that's usually where they start collecting it for a bundled GOTY/Definitive edition.

It has a season pass. All hope is now lost.

Edit: Also love how its like a ninja addition because both collectors edition don't say you're getting a season pass for all that money you're giving them.

The expansion pack is being listed on Japanese sites as an Online Expansion and will be the final DLC pack.

Japanese Amazon also has a Collector's Edition, Lucis Kingdom Edition, that includes separate Blu-Ray discs for Kingsglaive & Brotherhood.

Most of the time they give you an amount of DLC the pass gives access to. Like Uncharted2-3 told us we were getting 3 multiplayer maps, 4 says 2 multiplayer DLC and 1 single player DLC, Darksiders said 3 single player DLCs. They don't always give you all the DLC released either its usually only major ones like MP maps, story expansions.Looking at season passes for newer games though I see you might be right a lot of them include skins/outfits/weapons. You're pretty much right if a game is going to get a GOTY/Definitive edition the season pass will stop being available. I wouldn't suggest buying it for 15 till SE gives out more info, for all you know your prepaying for all the car reskins, Noctis/Cindy outfits, and weapons they took out of the game to charge you for instead.

I no longer feel very bad about just waiting for this to come out on PC eventually 4 years down the road.

I remember back in the day when DLC was first starting out and everyone thought it was a great idea.

"Oh damn, they can do full on sequels for like 10 bucks because all the assets will be re-used"
"This will let developers patch and update issues so quickly, and give the buyer a lot more value"
"How great will it be to revisit a game 6-12 months after release with additional story content thats fresh. It's like a MMO without the MMO"

Oh, those were the days.

[Tyrath]

Hey some companies actually use it properly. Like CD Projekt Red. Unfortunately those companies are rare.

Oh come on now; even when I ran a GameStop store a decade ago everyone knew DLC and updates were just going to be utilized for companies to rush out half finished games to be patched later. If only we had realized it would also be used for bullshit microtransactions and preorder DLC too. . .lol

I guess the season pass isn't as bad as it could have been? Hoping it is just extra and not cut content they put to the side to charge more for.

Edit: Read this on the EU SE Site

"The FFXV DLC is not content that has been cut from the main game just to sell to you later. This is really important because we want everyone who buys and plays the FFXV base game to know they are getting the full FFXV experience. The FFXV DLC will add new and unique experiences to the FFXV Universe with each piece of DLC designed to offer something brand new. So I’ll say it again because it’s important - the FFXV DLC is not content that has been cut from the main game!"

2, 4, 5 and 6 are the only ones that seem interesting, and out of those 6 seem like the most interesting one depending entirely on the execution.

Can we just have a nature documentary of FFXV with David Attenborough while we're at it?

[Akiyama]

Yeah sorry.

[Celeras]

I wouldn't doubt it in the slightest but lol at these sources. Fucking Neogaf citing a GameStop manager?

Ya'll are better than this. It's easy enough to wait for the 14th and actually verifying it before going 'YEP'.
