Final Fantasy XV is now one year old, and although we may not be the biggest fans of what Square Enix has added to the game over the last 12 months, we have to give the publisher props for the continued support. The game's getting yet another update in December, and it's potentially the biggest game-changer of them all.
Next month's patch will allow players to switch between party members throughout the main story. This means that you'll no longer be stuck playing Noctis 100 per cent of the time. At this point it's unclear how far this goes -- we don't yet know whether you'll be able to swap characters during combat or anything like that. We're sure Square Enix will reveal more in the near future, so watch this space.

Maybe people will be made but why was this not standard?
It's an interesting addition, but I'm not really sure what value it will add beyond the novelty of controlling an alternate character.
I'm guessing they won't be adding character specific quests or anything like that, so not sure what the point is really.
@Flaming_Kaiser probably because the story of FFXV was the story of Noctis and seen from his point of view so it made sense to only play as him
Going to be honest, I thought you could do this already before the game was released. I was kind of surprised you couldn't.
@Flaming_Kaiser now they all have their fighting style based on the dlc episodes. Story-wise it doesn't makes sense. It's Noctis story. Still a nice addition
I just started the game up a while ago thinking most of the big updates have been added lol. This is what I've wanted from the beginning, so looks like I'm restarting FFXV from scratch
Can't wait to play as blind Ignis throughout the 2nd half of the game, that should be interesting.
Seriously, it does seem like this makes it a different game if we can play the whole game as one of the other characters as they are different. Now I really wish I waited.
Are we getting a 3rd article on Episode Ardyn and the other 2 upcoming DLC packs? Might as well milk the articles as long as Squenix milks the games.
Square is really delivering on this game. I hope this a trend with Final Fantasy games going forward.
Ignis sux. Bye
@legalstep For me its just a step back.
@Bliquid xD waiting for someone to burn down my house
@Feena I guess i really more a fan of the old Final Fantasy but those are gone servicegames it is. Nothing beats the 100 plus hours games with a great story plus awsome characters. And they still work out of the box got to love those old consoles i am starting to understand the retrogamers more then ever.
Have they updated those undercooked late game story sections yet? Tempted to go back eventually but only once the game is actually finished.
Playing Cindy from start to finish I'd give it a 10/10!
One of these days I’ll get to this game.
I was waiting on New Game plus for something like this. I knew they'd add it eventually!
This totally makes sense, after Episode Ignis is out, we've been playing with each of the three companions already. So why not go all the way and make them playable in the main game?
Nice! this game should have been included character switching during combat at launch!
This is cool but it should have been in there at launch release.
