We Missed This Dastardly Devil
Final Fantasy has no shortage of villains. Over the years we have had such juggernauts as Sephiroth and Kefka, along with some…less memorable antagonists. Its hard to say exactly where the likes of Ardyn Izunia fits in with this devious roster, but we can’t get enough of this deceptively charming slimeball!
Luckily for us, there’s plenty more Ardyn on the way. According to an article on IGN, we can expect a whole new set of Final Fantasy XV DLC to arrive in 2018, one of which will allow us to play as the fedora-wearing backstabber.
The December update for Final Fantasy XV will include character swapping, and Episode Ardyn is coming next year.
According to the latest Active Time Report, via WCCFTECH, players will be able to switch between Noctis, Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto in battle, and each of them will control as they do in their respective DLC packs.
Next year will also feature the release of at least three DLC episodes, and one of them will focus on Ardyn, Final Fantasy XV’s antagonist. As for the focus of the other DLC packs, Square Enix is saving details to be revealed at a later date.
In an IGN interview at PAX 2017, FFXV Director Hajime Tabata discussed Ardyn, saying he’d like to see stories about Ardyn and Luna fleshed out, as he considers them “incredibly key characters to the story.”
Everyone loves to play the bad guy, so we are eager to explore what makes this stylish usurper tick. Maybe we’ll even get a chance to knock Noctis and the guys down a peg.
Oh, and what about Cindy? If every character is getting their time in the limelight she could at least get her own DLC. Sure, she’s not exactly the best when it comes to combat but you could at least give her her own racing section. Just as long as its a big improvement over the Regalia.
