 * Final Fantasy XV-2 is for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
 * The game reveals Final Fantasy XV and its associated media are actually part of an epic.
 * Final Fantasy XV-2 tells the story of a conflict between light and darkness, as well as life and death.
 * In the Dark World, Noctis encounters Diabolos, who presides over the daemons there and is himself an Astral/daemon hybrid. Diabolos can assume the form of a demonic, black dog, which Noctis follows to the hybrid's abode.
 * In the Dark World, Noctis finds himself unable to use any of his powers. He instead teams up with the traitorous Astral Ifrit, who has been banished from the Astral Realm. Ifrit agrees to help Noctis if the king frees him.
 * At some point, Noctis has to kill a version of Lunafreya. This battle is psychologically challenging for him.
 * Final Fantasy XV-2 places less emphasis on the Astrals and more on the gods of Eos. One of these gods is Chaos; he, like the game's other deities, remains unseen.
 * Noctis learns the gods, who passively watch over Eos, are responsible for the Crystal's destruction.
 * At some point on his journey, Noctis's allies betray him.
 * In Final Fantasy XV, Eos was described as a "world of wonder." Final Fantasy XV-2 flips this concept on its head; the Eos it depicts is a "world of horror." The more spectacular locations the player can visit in the game (such as the Astral Realm and Dark World) exist to expand the lore of the Final Fantasy XV Universe.

Descriptions of Final Fantasy XV-2 Locales  
 * Lucis - Since the destruction of its precious Crystal, Lucis has ceased to be a place of prosperity. With its towns and cities largely abandoned, it is now feared as the land in which the world’s spiral towards oblivion began.
 * Duscae - Once a place where people hunted for recreational purposes and stopped to camp under the stars after long car rides, it is now completely devoid of human life and has been overrun by nature. Duscae has become a paradise for savage beasts.
 * Accordo - Once a tropical paradise, Accordo’s islands have perished. The oceans surrounding the nation’s capital, Altissia, have dried to form a vast, unforgiving desert. Much of Accordo’s cities are now buried beneath the sand.
 * Niflheim - The technologically-advanced Niflheim empire has fallen. Its magitek infantry has been left behind; the robotic soldiers that comprise it are doomed to operate independently until they fall apart.
 * The Afterlife - A place where wayward souls go to find peace after leaving their bodies. Within this tranquil realm lies the Kingdom of the Dead, which is said to be ruled by a man and woman who perished in Eos 15 years ago.
 * Dark World - A world of despair where the souls of the corrupt are banished to suffer for eternity. This hellish land crawls with daemons, and it is said to contain a great evil.
 * Astral Realm - An ethereal dimension that houses the gods of Eos and the all-mighty creatures that serve as manifestations of their collective will.
