Once these changes are implemented, the company then wants to move on to releasing story related updates. These updates are intended to add scenes that give players insight into certain aspects of the story such as character motivations. The company states that these additions will take time since these scenes will need to be localized and voiced in other languages.
When it comes to long term goals for Final Fantasy XV, the blog post states, “we are looking at making certain key characters playable, and even considering the possibility of customizable avatars, in addition to other features over time.”
The company also plans to incorporate a New Game Plus mode along with low-level runs and a god mode. Players can expect to see new bosses with exclusive rewards and achievements, and limited-time hunts.
