Feb 16, 2019 FINAL FANTASY XV EPISODE ARDYN depicts the story of Ardyn Izunia, the main nemesis in FINAL FANTASY XV. The story of suffering, death, and resurrection leading up to the main story in FFXV. This animation. Feb 19, 2019 However, the last piece of Final Fantasy XV's epic story should launch on March 26 and features a villainous story. The chapter, titled 'Episode Ardyn,' focuses on the dastardly mastermind behind the events of the game. However, instead of simply being evil, the episode explains why he hates the protagonist and his family so much.
Ardyn Lucis Caelum is the character we’ll play as in this DLC, see. That means a new way to fight as well as new storybits. I assume this includes shouting “It’s high noon!” before shooting everyone.
Player reviews suggest it’s a few hours long, not the grandest premature end to a saga.The planned DLC episodes focused on Aranea, Lunafreya, and Noctis are dead and gone. However, Square ENix have said they hoped “to deliver something that showcases what type of story we were aiming to deliver in some way, shape, or form” just so fans could get a sense for what might have been. Squeenix giving up on FFXV early also means that they’ve not expanded PC mod support as much as planned.The big question is: is FFXV is an anime boy band road trip, what sort of band is Ardyn touring with? I’d say he’s such a tryhard sulky cowboy that it couldn’t possibly be a twangly western band, no, but he doesn’t strike me as the sort to go for the glitz and glam of Dolly Parton-style country & western. Perhaps a Fields of the Nephilim cover band? A Ministry rip-off?

Not anything as cool as an anime boy band, that’s for sure.Episode Ardyn is out now for £8/€10/$10, and of course requires the base game.

After some linear story segments we are given a small city 'open world' to explore and destroy. There are pillars where you must break the barrier and destroy the Guardian boss within. There's about 8 or so of these bosses but there's only 2 or 3 types and some accompany other enemies. Speaking of enemies, the city is full of the royal guard so you will be killing (and quite easily too) human enemies here.
The combat is impossibly easy even on Normal mode. The city itself is pretty 5 but incredibly devoid of life. There are skyscrapers and the occasional billboard, no day/night cycle to speak of and surely nothing as culturally diverse and dazzling as the Insomnia we saw in the Final Fantasy XV movie Kingsglaive. It's serviceable and it's nice to get the inside scoop on Ardyn but ultimately this DLC would only serve those wanting to get absolutely everything out of FFXV. For most fans it's missable.
