Are you really comparing patching XV to what they did with ARR, lol.

Ha! Just got to chapter 9. I'm so glad I saw this lol. I've done a LOT of side quests though, burned out a bit.
About to get the Trophy for doing 80
All updates post-launch will be free. Where did you get the idea of 'paid' updates?
Yea, I assumed that these updates would be part of the Season Pass.
If they're free, then I have no qualms with waiting until they've sorted the game out.
Preferably within the next 12 months :V

Are you saying this piece of shit is comparable to FFXV?
Stack up every quest you can, then use
the 3x EXP boost at Altissa!

If you think about it, if they play their cards right and patch it well with the right cutscenes explaining the story much more properly, it could be a really great game because the major issue of this game was the lacking content. Subjective or not, the story had a lot of potential, it just wasn't fleshed out.
Now if we compare it to FFXIII, that game is complete and the story is set. Adding cutscenes via patches won't help the game's convoluted story.

Ignore him
Chapter 13 is kinda boring, but it's not so bad
It's way better than most parts of FF XIII
It is Tabata said last week it will come with the Holiday pack.

I have to agree with this and I wanted to think of a scenario where they could have fleshed out the story more.
The damage is done and those who don't like the game won't like it, no matter how many updates it gets. But those of us who loved it will definitely find it tempting to replay once more scenes are added.
If they rewrote and fixed the story and added in a second major open-world segment, it could actually end up being a great game.

I'm feeling pretty upset about this too. This and world of final fantasy.
No, it's not about the difficulty, it's about making the chapter bearable. It's terrible, honestly. Too boring, too long, too arduous. More powerful ring magic might fix some of that and cut the time you spend in there by nearly 1/3.

well to be completely fair it is not new to see an "enhanced" version of a mainline FF game.
The "International" version of FF games has been a tradition and they usually add a lot of stuff to the base game: FFX's new sphere board and super bosses etc etc, FFX-2's pokemon system and final dungeon etc etc, and the most famous FFXII's zodiac job system.
Not to mention the "final mix" version of KH games, which adds cutscenes and a ton of extra stuff too.
The key difference this time is the road map shows how they are going to fix, not just to add stuff to, the game.

Thanks!
That'll probably mean we will never see a new FF and KH main game until our grandchildren are old enough to play the 30th entry of Dragon Quest

Well, entertainers updating and altering the story of their works according to audience's feedback is a time-worn practice dating at least as far back as the age of the Roman Empire.

Too late. I'm already done with the game story and I won't be replaying it.
Chapter
has other problems and has nothing to do with the
.
Chapter
13
ring
Adding cutscenes is pretty important for a character in that chapter.
And it's far worse than any part of FFXIII.

eh I guess yeah it should be in from the start and that sucks for fans that power through it and now will have the lesser experience. I just literally played the tutorial and then the first 3 minutes and saved at first moment you can, so I'll just wait a bit till that section is tweaked better to play through it.
Honestly, I wish Bethesda would go back through Fallout 4 and fix that design by adding more quest choices other than "shoot everything in the face".
if you're not going through side stuff much, how long is the main game anyways?

Time to Fish. I LOVE the fishing, not sure if I'm in the minority with that though.

You can play the game normally, just make a backup save for Chapter 9 onwards and replay those. It doesn't take long to complete Chapter 9 till the end anyway.
lol no. Chapter 13 is worse than even the worst part of FFXIII.
And it's coming from someone who hates FFXIII.

lol I'm doing the exact same thing.
Tales of Xillia last week, Shovel Knight the day before yesterday, AM2R today and now I'm almost finished with Uncharted 4. Doom is also half finished so I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and get that out of the way as well.
I'm hoping NG+ includes a hard mode where all enemies are guaranteed to always be at least +10 levels higher. That plus any additional content would make a 2nd play-though quite appealing. The combat has really grown on me, and anything that would encourage the usage of all its subsystems would be very welcome. The combat really shines whenever I take on hunting quests that are well above my current level.
Another far less important change I'd like to see, is for them to redesign the pseudo-pinball minigame. It's mind-numbingly easy as it is right now.

I wouldn't stop there. The game is really good. It's just the last few chapters show that this game has a good story but the game hit a budget in time to show it. I really think that is the case.

Can they patch away the open world, though. :/

Disclaimer: Ch 13 isn't the end of the world. You can still beat the game without this patch and leave satisfiedmany people have.
If you can wait, then wait. If you don't want to wait, then don't. It isn't the end of the world if you play it before this patch comes.

Pretty impossible task to fix the story imo
Plus they are only focusing on 1 character

The fact they'd say this so soon after the release makes me think they knew that certain aspects of the game would not be well received a while back, but couldn't permit another delay.
The Aranea live stream confirmation also implies this IMO.

That would make sense. Why is it so damn weak anyway? Should've been a great feeling to using it.

Ten years in the making plus however many it takes for the retail version to be finished
this game lol

I mean, there's some point to it if they're planning online co-op.
I guess their intentions there might out the fact the main campaign will not be playable with this expansion, but something else altogether.
I can totally see them allowing you to create a character for a battle arena mode to play with others.
