It's hard to believe that Final Fantasy XV is just over a week from being in my grubby little hands….as well as the hands of millions who have been waiting over the last ten years to get this game. As well all know, Day 1 patches have become the norm over the last five or so years, and Final Fantasy XV will be no different. But the question is, what exactly is in the game's Day 1 patch? Square Enix has some answers today.
- Camera improvements will make it easier to track action going on in tight areas.
- The new “Wait Mode” function (makes it so the game automatically waits when you stop command inputs) will get an ability tree for more in-depth strategic elements.
- A “Monster Whistle” that can be used to call out monsters will be added.
- New event scenes from Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and “Omen” trailer will be added.
- Recipes and fish varieties, as well as a gallery, will be added for players who enjoy collecting items.
- Social network function will be added, allowing players to upload Prompto’s photographs to Facebook and Twitter.
Also, Game Director Hajime Tabata made a statement regarding the early copies that have made their way into circulation over the last few days, specifically in regards to spoilers. He said:
"We are nearing the release date of November 29. I’m wishing from the bottom of my heart that everyone will get to enjoy the game with a fresh new feeling. However, we’ve confirmed that some packages of Final Fantasy XV have been released around some parts of the world, with gameplay videos being uploaded to the Internet. This may be inevitable due to regional circumstances, but it’s something we regret very much.It’s our big goal to have everyone enjoy the story of Final Fantasy XV and discover its surprises through the simultaneous global release. There are likely other spoiler videos and such circulating out there that we had not expected, so for those of you looking forward to Final Fantasy XV, we hope that you’ll be careful.We are doing everything we can to prevent the circulation of the spoiler videos. For those of you that received the game earlier, please keep those who’ve waited a long time for the game in consideration. In order to meet the best possible release date with everybody, we ask for your understanding and cooperation."
You can understand where Hajime Tabata is coming from, but at the same token, it's more up to the gamer to resist the temptation to watch any videos posted online. Nobody is pointing a gun to anyone's head demanding that they watch spoilers on YouTube or Facebook, utterly ruining the experience. It should be common knowledge (and sense) that people get early copies nowadays, and when they do, their first instinct is to brag about it on the internet for whatever that's worth to them.
Long story short, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't watch anything.
