Final Fantasy XV

FINAL FANTASY XV MULTIPLAYER: COMRADES

What’s Included

Final Fantasy XV Multiplayer: Comrades is a standalone online co-op expansion set during the World of Ruin. Instead of playing as Noctis and the main party, you create your own Glaive and take on missions with up to three other players or AI partners. It includes character creation, weapon upgrading, town rebuilding, and a separate progression loop built around short hunts and escort-style quests.

Is It Worth It

This is meaningful if you want more time in the world of Final Fantasy XV and like mission-based co-op. It is not essential if you mainly care about the main story, since it feels more like a side mode than a natural extension of the campaign. For solo players, the AI option helps, but the appeal is still strongest if you want a separate multiplayer grind rather than more story-driven content.

FINAL FANTASY XV ROYAL EDITION

What’s Included

Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition is the expanded version of the main game. It bundles the base game with the Season Pass content, including Episode Gladiolus, Episode Prompto, Episode Ignis, and Comrades, plus extra Royal Pack content. The biggest additions are an expanded Insomnia area at the end of the game, new bosses, a first-person mode, a controllable Royal Vessel boat, and a few smaller gameplay and story extras.

Is It Worth It

Yes, if you are starting fresh or want the most complete version of Final Fantasy XV. The extra episodes help fill in story gaps and give the party members more screen time, while the Royal Pack makes the final chapter feel less thin. If you already own the base game, this is mainly worth it if you care about the character episodes and a better late-game finale. If you only want the main road trip story, the base game still works on its own.

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition

What’s Included

Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition is not a traditional DLC pack for the main game. It is a separate, scaled-down version of Final Fantasy XV released in 2018, with a simplified art style, streamlined controls, and the core story retold across shorter episodes. It was designed for mobile devices and later other platforms, not as an expansion that plugs into the original release.

Is It Worth It

If you already own Final Fantasy XV, this is not essential extra content. It does not expand the base game with new story chapters, regions, or systems. Its value is in offering a lighter, more portable way to experience the same main narrative. Buy it only if that specific format appeals to you. Otherwise, it is easy to skip.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis

What’s Included

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis is a story expansion focused on Ignis during the events in Altissia. It shows his side of a major turning point in the main game, with new combat built around his elemental quick-change style and a self-contained chapter separate from Noctis’s journey.

It also includes an alternate ending route, which gives this episode more replay value than the other character chapters. If Ignis felt underused in the base game, this fills in important context.

Is It Worth It

This is one of the more worthwhile Final Fantasy XV DLC episodes because it improves a key story moment and gives Ignis a stronger role. It is still optional, but it feels more meaningful than a side story with no real impact.

If you mainly want cleaner story context and a short but focused extra chapter, it is worth considering. If you only care about the core road trip and are fine with some gaps in the narrative, you can skip it.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto

What’s Included

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto is a story expansion focused on Prompto during his time away from the main party. It adds a short self-contained chapter with third-person shooting, snowy environments, and more background on his identity and connection to the empire. You also get a boss encounter, a few new mechanics built around firearms and mobility, and extra scenes that fill in a gap from the main story.

Is It Worth It

This is meaningful if Prompto felt underused in the base game or if you wanted clearer context for one of the story’s abrupt detours. It is not essential to understand the full plot, but it does make his character arc land better and feels more useful than a purely cosmetic add-on.

If you mainly play Final Fantasy XV for the road trip dynamic and main campaign, this is optional. If you want a compact story episode with a different combat style, it is an easy pick.
