Final Fantasy XV finally reaches its conclusion with this last chapter of DLC, titled, Episode Ardyn, which is out now. The chapter is set 35 years before the events of FFXV, so players will experience a brand new storyline from the perspective of the villainous bastard, Ardyn Lucis Caelum. The DLC aims to show you what drove him to seek revenge against the line of Lucis, and what also drove him to be such a complete and total dick.
If you're not in the know, Ardyn Lucis Caelum is the main villain of FFXV, although he is arguably misunderstood and definitely has a tragic-ish backstory, but then again, who the hell don't, amirite? I mean, besides Bowser, they all have something that went terribly wrong, but the difference is, they decided to be total assholes instead of getting therapy. Most heroes don't have a rosy past either, but you don't see them trying to destroy the world over it.
This new episode features several new options and gameplay mechanics to explore, powerful new attack moves and skills unique to Ardyn, including the Rising Phantom, Dark Tornado and the ability to warp with the Phantasmal Leap. In an odd twist, the summonable Ifrit is now an ally of Ardyn and you can get it on with a gang of fire magic. And what DLC would be complete without.... hats? Yeah. Hats. There's a hat shop for players to purchase hats.
Boss.
Check out the hate and the hats in the trailer below, Episode Ardyn is out now.
