It's sort of the equivalent of a "Game of the Year" edition, except they'll still be making DLC after its release.

I'm glad to get full access to the boat, since during the main game you just get the one trip on it. I'm also excited for the expanded map. The Insomnia Ruins was one of my favorite locations. I love exploring decrepit places, and it also gives us a chance to do more exploring after the (SPOILER)time jump. As awesome as it was to run around as adult bearded Noctis, there wasn't a lot of places you could go at that point.

I figured there was going to be a GotY Edition sooner or later. Looks interesting, though I'll likely stay on the sidelines until all of the DLC is out and pick up that version.

Oh cool, FFXV is out of early access...

I'm intrigued, but having bought the game and the season pass (I'm blindly loyal to SE) I'm loath to spend even more money to upgrade it.

Pretty much where I'm at with it.

And here I am, happy that I haven’t gotten the chance to play the game yet and that once I fi, it’ll be cooler. Sucks for those who got it early tho!

I just hate for the same price as the season pass, you now get all the season pass dlc plus the extra stuff since it costs $20 to upgrade your base copy of the game. Makes me think these couple of extras outside of the episodes. I feel like this stuff should have come with the season pass or at a discount for season pass holders.

I didn't buy the season pass, but I bought FFXV at launch and each of the episodes separately when they were made available. Will I be buying the Royal Edition? No. I'm done. FFXV can go and royally screw itself!

[maybee]

Yeah, no. Not going to support this kind of thing. Is the game even fully complete yet ? All this just seems so messy and greedy.

And this is pretty much where I'm at. I had the collector's edition reserved, but never went through with it, because I found out the game wasn't even complete and I eventually cancelled my reservation and moved that money to other projects like Horizon: Zero Dawn, which was complete

This sorta sounds like what happened with the Destiny games. The reboot in the middle of each games' development, then releasing incomplete, and using DLC and patches to flesh out what should have been a done deal, and then re-packaging it and selling DLC outside of a season pass (why does a season pass even exist for games where it doesn't cover all DLC?) ... [and that's also why I skipped out on Destiny, lost potential. At least FFXV has story and character]

So I got the game for $20 and then the season pass when it went on sale and now this? Unbelievable. I really like the game, but I don't $80 love the game.
