Final Fantasy XV Gets its Inevitable Season Pass Reveal

oh wow - Fallout 4 flashbacks...not buying anything until I know what it is and most importantly if I even like the game!

I would buy it. With a demo of ff7 and the full kh 2.8 game 😉

In other words, even though I've waited years and years and am super excited, I'm not THAT excited.

Nothing on Europe yet...

I usually only get a "season pass" for multiplayer games...with single player, I'm often done with the game before anything comes out, and by the time it does, it's too little too late.

I wish they would just go back to expansion packs, instead of presumably trickling out lackluster content over a drawn-out period of time!

I can hardly wait!! Maybe we can get a slightly less emo haircut or something really awesome like a white outfit. Seriously after getting burned by the one developer I thought I was safe with (Bethesda), I think I'll pass. I'm still excited for the game though. As someone one who's been playing Final Fantasy since the NES, even if they kind of lost me after IX.

I got the Ultimate package, I am assuming I'm getting this as well since it's a lot more expensive!

I've got FFXV pre-ordered (suckered in by the Amano artwork and included movie) but won't be shelling out any extra for this until I know what it involves. The only way I'd pre-order a season pass is if I have absolute 100% trust in the publisher or developer, and got a discount or other bonus for buying it early. So far the only developer that has come close to applying to has been From Software thanks to the amazing DLC for the Souls/Borne series, but even then I've never pre-ordered it as there's no price incentive.

Not impressed given im already paying 70 quid for the special edition. Will certainly be waiting for more information (and a price drop) before i even consider this. I still dont understand why a) developers think they can get away with selling season passes without confirming the content and b) why people buy said pass lacking the information - batman im looking at you!

I see over at eurogamer that there are five or six packs with at least three being story packs but will they be meaningful or thirty minute shorts - not enough information.

I suppose squenix need to recoup those dev costs somehow

of course i answered my own question in that pubs will keep selling passes without any info if people continue to buy them anyway

Separate individual story dlc for Noctis' mates, some item dlc and it finishes up with an expansion pack DLC, prob the ending of the game. There's no way in hell I'm gonna support this, if you spend £45-50 for a game you should get the whole thing.

Milk that Chocobo to death Squeenix.

@sinalefa Squeenix knows I hate DLC, they're just trying to see if they can talk me out of getting this game. I still don't have a PS4 in part b/c the Uncharted 4 bundle was $400, and the US only got 500GB, UK got 1TB. I thought Reggie got a job at SoA and he was continuing his fan abuse.

I'll likely get this game, but will wait on the DLC. Well unless it's in a PS4k Neo FFXV mega bundle. Waiting on NX and Neo news is making for a very waitful summer.

I already paid for the limited edition collectors. So I am assuming this will come with it lol.

@rjejr

Man you hate Reggie so much you could blame him for Sony's blunders too.

If Squeenix gets more than $60 out of you from this then you truly are a FF fanboy and the guy responsible should get a raise.

And regarding the hard drive, with Sony's stubborness to support external drives they should pack a 1TB disc on every PS4, Neo or not.

I remember when the only season pass you needed for Final Fantasy was that 30,000 gil ticket for the Gold Saucer.

@sinalefa To be fair, they have about a decade of pure costs to recoup. If Nintendo can charge about £50 ($75 at the time) for a game a few people knocked out in a few months which was just a level pack for a previous game (NSMB2) then FFXV (as well as other large team and/or long development time games) is cheap per dollar spent to make it. They've paid the wages of hundreds of people for about a decade to get this out and invested in new technology to do so. It's like the Shenmue situation where even if over half of all DC owners bought it, it'd still only break even.

On a separate note, remember that games are also far cheaper than they used to be. Many NES and SNES games were $100 or more when you adjust for inflation yet took about 2 hours to complete and were made by 3 guys in a few months so cost next to nothing to make. Not saying this specifically in defense of FFXV but as general thing for when people complain about season passes boosting the cost of a game.

@Matroska yeah but SNES NES games came in a physical cart that depending on the extra chips included would boost price. Now most games are designed for download. If I buy a game now on ps store You should also fact the cost to me as well. As I have to pay for the broadband to download it & the electric cost of the ps4 running (dont have fastest BB). then you consider space on hdd wear & tear etc etc. I burned through 4 xbox 360. 3 were fixed replaced by MS. I still have a snes that still works fine.
