So we have heard news of an upcoming Final Fantasy XV Season Pass Two... they announced plans for it to spread across 2018 & even 2019 but we're reaching the fall of 2018 and still have yet to hear anything?! I'm very surprised that we had no coverage of this during S-E's extensive offering at this years TGS. We knew his was happening back in 2017, yet I still can't believe how quiet S-E are on this.
Looking back at articles they're saying a 2019 release date:
I mean are we really expecting to see out content in 2019/2020 for a game that was released in 2016? The 2016 experience was so barebones and incomplete as we all know and I refuse to go back to this game again during mid-development phases. I mean honestly by 2020 I was hoping to hear news on the next mainline FF title... but if we're getting this Season Pass content in 2019 a Complete Edition won't reach stores until 2020 - Which I hope to god follows Shadow of War's UK release by example and gives us a 2nd disc with all the content.
What really gets my goat is that instead of any news on proceeding with this Season Pass 2, we get more tie-in faff than no one wants:
I just want Final Fantasy XV to be over... Sure build it up (Fix it) and complete it but with S-E focusing on this and the troubled Final Fantasy VII Remake I fear we won't see light on a Final Fantasy XVI for a long time. When you look at Capcom in comparison releasing Resident Evil 7 in 2017, a Complete DLC Edition in 2018, then a from the ground up Remake the following year of Resident Evil 2... it makes you wonder what on earth is happening.
