Square Enix has detailed a few of the changes coming to Chapter 13 of Final Fantasy XV in the newest patch.
Game Informer interviewed the producer Haruyoshi Sawatari about DLC and Chapter 13 changes for Final Fantasy XV and here’s what he said about Chapter 13:
So there is an update planned for this month that includes enhancements to chapter 13. So before, obviously, it was just Noctis by himself, kind of alone without the powers of his weapon summoning abilities. But what we’ve done for chapter 13, is we’ve added a separate route for Gladio and Ignis after they get split off from Noctis, so you actually get to play as Gladio, and see what happened from their side of things until they reunited with Noctis. You’ll see some additional cutscenes [that] just show you what took place while Noctis was kind of on his own. You’ll get some actual gameplay with the party of Gladio and Ignis together. You’ll see what happened to Emperor Aldercapt and Revis, and where they ended up being during the whole time. These are just the supplementary scenes that were added into chapter 13, and that’s just for chapter 13. But aside from that, we’re overhauling the ring magic, so the three spells that you could use with the Ring of the Lucii, those are completely powerful now, like super powerful now. So those are some other things to look forward to.
Hopefully these changes actually play out well because Chapter 13 is one of the worst sections in a game in a long time. He also spoke about the Gladio DLC and said it will take around 2 hours to complete it.
Final Fantasy XV is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
