Credit: Square Enix Many fans had complaints about the final chapter of Final Fantasy XV and it looks like their wishes may have been granted Alongside a Gladio-focused DLC, Square Enix will be updating Chapter 13 due to fan pressure.

For the first time, Final Fantasy will be the basis for a live action TV show I know, strange that they haven't done that but then, why get real actors when you can just make a fully CG movie like Advent Children or Kingsglaive? The new show will be based off one Japanese fan's blog[...]

Disclaimer: This article is part of a promotion in conjunction with Final Fantasy XV.
