So I'm still baffled, and now this is even more confusing.  Can you switch control between characters, or is that just for the JUMP?  I'm still not sure.  Either way, I've never been more happy to be spoiled on a game.

Speaking to IGN at Gamescom, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata explained that a hefty day one patch was originally in store for the game, but ultimately he didn’t want fans who play offline to be unable to experience the game at its best. Instead, he wanted the game to be in its most polished state as soon as players put in the disc.

“Originally I was thinking it would be okay and we could put all of the extra updates into a day-one patch,” Tabata told IGN. “But at that point I learned there are maybe a lot of people out there who play in an offline environment and don’t have internet. When I found that out, thinking about it again, I’m glad I didn’t make that decision.”
