A new update for Final Fantasy XV should arrive on the 24th January and it will be adding The Moogle Chocobo Carnival, part of the Holiday Pack DLC. Despite being tied to the RM100 Season Pass, the free version of the DLC will also allow Noctis to travel to Altissia all decorated for the festival, which will be packed with mini-games (new chocobo races and a shooting gallery is confirmed).
Also, included in the update is a full-on photo mode. The game has a pretty decent way of generating photos via Prompto’s photography skill, but having full control is always a nice touch.
Check out the trailer below:
To recap, here is the differences between Holiday Pack, the free version of the DLC, and Holiday Pack+, the one included in the season pass:
Holiday Pack:
- Nixperience Band – a device that prevents experience points being tallied, effectively stopping your party from levelling up
- Warrior’s Fanfare – a piece of sheet music that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Offense during combat
- A Choco-Mog T-shirt – a Choco-Mog t-shirt.
- Carnival Passport – a ticket that allows access to limited time carnival events
Holiday Pack+:
- Ring of Resistance – a protective ring that gives your party resistant to magical friendly fire
- Tech Turbocharger – a device that speeds up the tech bar replenishment rate, but freezes the Armiger bar
- Armiger Accelerator – a device that speeds up the Armiger bar replenishment rate, but freezes the tech bar
- Blitzer’s Fanfare – sheet music containing a song that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Time during combat
- Tactician’s Fanfare – sheet music containing a song that provides additional AP for earning an A+ in Finesse during combat
- Key of Prosperity – a charm that improves the rate at which fallen foes leave behind items of value
- Stamina Badge – a button that enables Noctis to sprint and hang without using up stamina
- Photo Frames – festive themes that the player can add to Prompto’s photos
- Festive Ensemble – a fancy and fun outfit perfectly suited for enjoying the festivities.
- Carnival Passport – a ticket that allows access to limited time carnival events
Apparently, season pass owners need to download the free Holiday Pack as well since they are not included in the Holiday Pack+ download. Here’s the link for the Holiday Pack on the Asia’s Playstation Store. It should also be available on the Xbox One Store as well.
