Final Fantasy 15 Gets New Game Plus Next Week

Square Enix will add a New Game Plus mode to Final Fantasy 15 via patch on December 22 alongside a “Holiday Pack” DLC that will contain a bunch of goodies, the publisher announced today. Naturally, you’ll get more if you pay.

The New Game Plus mode is free and will be available to everyone, although Square hasn’t mentioned anything about a higher difficulty mode, so I don’t really see the point just yet. The patch will also let you add frames to Prompto’s photos when you share them online.

And then there’s the Holiday Pack. Here’s what you’ll get for free in this appropriately named DLC (via Square):

• Warrior’s Fanfare — A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Offence outside of training.
• Nixperience Band — A device that stops experience points from being tallied, preventing the party from levelling up for an added challenge.
• Carnival Passport — An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.
• Choco-Mog Tee (available late January) — An exclusive T-shirt featuring everyone’s favourite fluffy and feathery friends. Colourful, comfy and appropriate for any carnival-goer.

And here’s what you’ll also get if you own the Digital Premium Edition or buy the $38 season pass, which gives you the PREMIUM version of the Holiday Pack:

• Ring of Resistance — A protective piece of jewellery that renders the entire party to be resistant to magical friendly fire.
• Tech Turbocharger — A device for Noctis that accelerates the tech bar replenishment rate, but freezes the Armiger bar.
• Armiger Accelerator — A device for Noctis that accelerates the Armiger bar replenishment rate, but freezes the tech bar.
• Blitzer’s Fanfare — A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Time outside of training.
• Tactician’s Fanfare — A scroll of sheet music containing a song of jubilation that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Finesse outside of training.
• Key of Prosperity — A lucky charm that increases the rate at which fallen foes leave behind items of value.
• Stamina Badge — A device that enables Noctis to sprint and hang without expending stamina.
• Carnival Passport — An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.
• Festive Ensemble (available late January) — A fancy and fun outfit perfectly suited for enjoying the festivities. The darling design puts all who see it in high spirits.
• Holiday Pack + Exclusive Photo Frames (available late January) — Additional themes the player can add to Prompto’s photos when sharing over social media.

I for one am looking forward to this mysterious carnival.
