In this segment, the speaker discusses several new additions to the game. A notable feature is the inclusion from the Comrades multiplayer in the ending. The game now allows Noctis and friends to travel from Lucis to Altissia via a royal cruiser, though its functionality is limited mainly to fishing and taking photos, rather than robust exploration.
Another major update is the new combat style called Armiger Unleashed, which provides a deeper combat system with button input combos, extended duration, and new super moves linked to the tech bar.
Additionally, there are several smaller updates: a dossier gallery to review characters, a data log system for visited locations with on-screen prompts, new cutscenes for better story context, and an exclusive Nvidia Ansel photo mode for the PC version. The physical release of the Royal Edition includes the base game, the season pass, and the new Royal Pack DLC.

The Windows Edition, which is similar to the Royal Edition but for PC, is also priced at $50, featuring customizable graphics and potential mod support. Evaluating whether the price is worth it, the speaker notes that fans of FF 15 will appreciate the new features, while critics of the game might still find it lacking due to persistent issues like boring side quests.
