Reports coming out of PAX East revealed that Square is planning 4 more DLC Character Episodes for Final Fantasy XV. The bad news, is that these episodes won't be released until 2019. This move truly cements FFXV's categorization as "GAAS" (Games as a Service), something one traditionally attributes to MMO shooters such as Destiny and The Division.
Whereas the first DLC episodes focused on Noctis' companions, the next 4 installments will see new characters take center stage, including the game's villain.
Episode I: Ardyn -- The Conflict of the Sage
This story portrays the struggles of Ardyn. Witness the resentment he harbored towards Lucis for over 2000 years, and his clashes with the Astrals.
Episode Side Story: Aranea -- The Beginning of the End
A side story about the Starscourge depicted from the Niflheim's perspective. The final day of the Empire turns out to be Aranea's worst day.
Episode II: Lunafreya -- The Choice of Freedom
This story's about Luna's fate, which not even death can free her from. Her battle to save the one she loves overturns the destiny dealt to the Lucian King.
Episode III: Noctis -- The Final Strike
Parting ways with the Astrals, Noctis embarks upon his final battle in order to attain the ideal future for all his people.
Previously, the game's director, Hajime Tabata, confirmed that there would be one more DLC episode that focuses on Ardyn so the reveal that there would be additional content focusing on Lunafreya, Noctis and Aranea was a fairly significant surprise.
This news also leaves fans to wonder just how long the wait will be for Final Fantasy XVI...
