The new 5.6GB patch is now available to Final Fantasy 15 owners, and it comes in the form of two updates, Version 1.06 and Version 1.07. Whereas Version 1.07 is relatively minor and consists of only bug fixes, Version 1.06 contains the bulk of the new content and the much-awaited Chapter 13 tweak, which comes in the form of an additional level titled Chapter 13, Verse 2. This new level is set concurrently with Final Fantasy 15’s existing Chapter 13 and it allows players the option of taking an alternate route as Gladio before rendezvousing with Noctis, which should help clear up any outstanding narrative issues while also acting as a gameplay teaser for what players can expect from the upcoming Episode Gladiolus expansion pack....

Among the Final Fantasy series’ villains, there are few that have captured longtime fans quite like the sixth entry’s Kefka, a recurring enemy who the player fights several times throughout the game.
