Final Fantasy XV (ファイナルファンタジーXV Fainaru Fantajī Fifutīn?) is an upcoming action role-playing video game being developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and currently scheduled for a worldwide release in 2016.

New details for "Final Fantasy XV" will feature new magics, cutscenes and Luna as a playable character, as well as tips on how to add Aranea Highwind to the party.

It seems that Square Enix has some big plans for "Final Fantasy XV" as game producer Haruyoshi Sawatari teased a new DLC character could be added to in the sequel soon.

Sawatari told JeuxVideo (via Dualshockers) that Noctis' love interest Lunafreya Nox Flueret could be a playable character if the gaming fans demanded it and will discuss it with the developers.

Square Enix previously announced that "Final Fantasy XV" will have a online multiplayer feature as a series of DLC as players can play as Noctis, while other players can control his friends Gladioulus, Ignis and Prompto. It has been suggested that this content will take players to completely new locations not found in the main "Final Fantasy XV" game, but Sawatari explained that the multiplayer DLC for the sequel is still in the planning stages.

Previous reports teased that episode Gladiolus will feature the return of "Final Fantasy" fan-favorite Gilgamesh in a boss battle. Gilgamesh first turned up in "Final Fantasy V" as a humorous sub-villain who eclipsed his boss’ popularity. However, events at the end of the game saw him banished from his plane into unknown beyond.

Since then, Gilgamesh has turned up in different games as a summon spell, ally, or enemy in several titles such as "Final Fantasy VIII", "IX", "XI", "XII", "XIII", "XIII-2", "Type-0", "Dissidia", and "World of Final Fantasy".

Aside from Luna, there are also speculations that Square Enix will be ncreasing the power of magic ring. This is a welcome addition as reviewers have mentioned that magic in "Final Fantasy XV" is next to useless

The developers plans to improve the production values of chapter 13 to enhance the story experience of "Final Fantasy XV". These include added cutscenes that will require additional voice over work and localization, requiring some degree of work hence Square Enix put these changes on the medium term plan.

In other news, a glitch found in "Final Fantasy XV" that lets players have Aranea Highwind into Noctis' group.

Aranea is one of the most powerful characters that ever temporarily joined the group. Players who have finished "FFXV" story know that Aranea is a sometimes friend who joins the crew for a short dungeon in the middle of the game.

If players want to keep Aranea around longer than that, they can follow these steps and she will be stuck with the team permanently. The downside however, is that player's will not be able to go fishing with her, as well riding a chocobo or in the Regalia, but Aranea will be running at super speed in order to catch up with Noctis.

First step is to Rest at Cotisse Haven (after chapter 7), then take the "Raindrops" Hunt to fast forward to night time. Open the menu and teleport to previous rest area. Players will have to wait until exactly midnight then run towards the big wall with a red fence. When daemons show up wait until battle is engaged then escape, then Immediately teleport to previous rest area.

Immediately interact with camp without pressing camp. Aranea will jump down her ship. She ‘camp’ as soon as she starts to speak. After camping, reload the camping autosave, Gamerant reported.

Aranea will be lending support to Noctis and the gang, event to the point that she will be included in the group photos in Prompto's camera.

Square Enix will be releasing the "Holiday Pack" for "Final Fantasy XV" on Dec. 22. The first version is the standard one which is free, while the other is a premium version available to the sequel's season pass holders.

The free version of the "Holiday" DLC will feature "New Game Plus" mode, seasonal picture frames for Prompto’s photos, a Level Stopper, Annihilation Victory Song, Moogle Chocobo Carnival T-Shirt Costume for Noctis, which will be available after January update and a Limited Time Carnival Ticket.

For the Premium season pass holders, the features will be the same with a few additional items such as Protection Ring, Command Booster for Noctis, a Phantom Booster for Noctis, Instant Kill Victory Song, Battle, Technique Victory Song, Fortuitous Key, Stamina Anchor for Noctis, Carnival Style Costume for Noctis, which will be available after January update, Picture Frames (Holiday Pack Limited Edition which is available after January update and Limited Time Carnival Ticket+.

Game director Hajime Tabata added that the boss fight with Square Enix CEO and President Yosuke Matsuda could launch as a DLC for the game and teased that Matsuda boss fight will be included in the "Holiday Pack".
