Unused concept for Ignis’s Brotherhood episode:
“Brotherhood episode 4 originally had a different story: Ignis finds Noctis and Prompto hanging out downtown during exam season and reprimands them (”What do you think you’re doing wandering around during exam season?”) when in walks some delinquents (”ooooh it’s the prince!” something along those lines). Ignis calmly tries to diffuse the situation and Prompto is freaking out. Ignis realizes he’s not going to be able to get through to the delinquents and loses his cool. At first Noctis doesn’t say anything and doesn’t want to fight back, but one of the delinquents punches Ignis and knocks his glasses off. Ignis sees the expression on Noctis’s face and realizes it’d be bad if he got angry so he takes action before Noctis can. Seeing them lay a hand on Ignis, Noctis gets a dark look, about to lose his temper, before Noctis can do anything, Ignis sees the expression on Noctis’s face and takes care of the thugs and beats them half to death that shocks Prompto, Noctis and Prompto watch everything happen as they huddle up together and say how gruesome it is. Later, when they recount the story to Gladio, he responds,”Wow, that kinda thing happened too, huh”, “Yeah, wouldn’t want to be around him when he’s pissed off” (”What, you didn’t know Ignis is scary when he gets angry?”) like it isn’t anything new. While Ignis sets the food out on the table, he stops Gladio from saying anything more.”
-Episode Ardyn will reveal answers to remaining questions ( It will focus on the history of Eos as much as on Ardyn’s story. Their goal is to add world-building to what they realize is an unfinished/unexplored land)
-There will be some content following what we’ve seen in Episode Ignis (We’ll learn the true origin of the strange voice Ignis heard during the IF route, Terada-san wouldn’t say who the voice belongs to, but he promised it had nothing to do with Bahamut)
-The Episode Ardyn anime is complete, but they’re going to keep teasing us for a while longer (the ‘unfinished’ effect in the promo trailer was intentional. It will air on time. There is also talk of continuing or adding to Brotherhood (not a confirmed deal, just a maybe)
-The Episode Ardyn DLC is on schedule for its release in March.
-A majority of the lines from the cancelled DLCs were already recorded.
-They want to present the cancelled DLCs in another form, but they haven’t decided how yet. They want to give what the fans want, so they asked everyone at the event to raise their hand to vote to get a general idea (choices included anime, novel, drama CD, comic, movie, etc.) [Results of the pole not included]
