It would not be a complete "Final Fantasy" if the latest installment didn't have one of the most iconic monsters, Gilgamesh, in its game, and that's what Square Enix is planning to do in one of its upcoming DLCs.
According to recent reports made by VG 24/7, a special edition book was given to some YouTubers and they're containing bits and pieces of information on the upcoming DLCs, the first of which is entitled "Episode Gladiolus."
Here's what the special edition book entailed:
"The player confronts an enemy called Gilgamesh, who can only be seen in Episode Gladio." At least that's what Final Fantasy XV's DLC producer Haruyoshi Sawatari mentioned in the book. He also added that "in Episode Gladio, you're able to go into areas that cannot be entered in the main game."
The episode will be placed somewhere within the the main game's storyline. But, whoever finished the game already, especially the main storyline, fans can go back and try to find a point in the narrative where Episode Gladiolus storyline could be triggered. It's still not that clear, however, how Square Enix will be able to tweak the game once again in order to send players back into the game to try out the DLC.
According to IGN, the enemy Gilgamesh was a boss in "Final Fantasy V," and has been known to show himself in different versions in the rest of the series. The creature was known to be formidable, showing off numerous arms wielding a variety of weapons. We have yet to hear or see how he will look in the latest installment of the "Final Fantasy" series.
"Final Fantasy XV" has gotten quite the positive reviews upon its release, with critics saying that "takes some risks that don't always pay off, but the strong quartet of heroes give it tons of heart." The game was considered the fastest selling game in the history of the series, shipping 5 million copies on the first day.
