The game’s director leaving to start his own studio might have sunk most DLC plans for Final Fantasy XV, however there’s nonetheless one final story to be instructed. Due on March 26th, Episode Ardyn will put gamers within the sneakers of the game’s dapper arch-villain and lead him on a excessive powered rampage by the streets of the capital metropolis. Still, Ardyn isn’t Kefka, who principally simply burnt the world for shits and giggles – Square Enix need you to know his tragic backstory offered within the type of a free anime quick. Below, twelve minutes of utmost melodrama adopted by a trailer and spoilers.
Those who’ve already completed Final Fantasy XV ought to have some thought of what Ardyn’s deal was, however this quick (watch it earlier than studying additional, as a result of spoilers) spells it out explicitly: The man was Anime Jesus, betrayed and expunged from the historical past books, so he turns into Satan, or shut equal. Ardyn healed the sick and the demonically possessed, taking all that tasty devil-juice into himself, till his jerk brother (the king) determined he didn’t want goody-two-sandals hogging the highlight. FFXV’s story is the fruits of a drunk, indignant household reunion, just about.
What we see of the DLC appears to be like attention-grabbing, too. Ardyn appears wildly overpowered, chopping by troopers and ending them for 9999 harm – he’s the ultimate boss, in any case. You get to summon Ifrit to rampage by the streets, and even instantly management the massive fiery bloke a bit. Ardyn will even get to throw down with the traditional magical guardians of town that we noticed a little bit of in prequel movie Kingsglaive. We all know the way this ends (badly), however I’m relatively wanting ahead to taking part in because the unrepentant villain for as soon as. Now the game is actually completed, it’s time to burn all of it down.
The Episode Ardyn DLC launches on March 26th, although no value has been set but, however the authentic episode DLCs price £4/€5/$5 every on PS4 when the game first launched.
