Final Fantasy 15 – Differences Between the Free and + Versions of the Holiday Pack in Final Fantasy 15

final-fantasy-15

In a recent Square Enix email i got talking about the new DLC it showed me this

Holiday Pack

Now it says that there are 2 versions of the Holiday Pack, one free and one for Season Pass Holders. one difference i notice is in the next image

Moogle Chocobo Carnival

It talks about a Carnival Ticket but 2 versions, a normal one and a + one which i assume is what is in the Season Pass version.

But how are these different? is it just this ticket? how is this ticket different in-game that would warrant someone getting a Season Pass over the free version of the Holiday Pack?

NOTE: the email came in 5 hours prior to posting this but it's the 23rd for me and the Holiday Pack DLC already appears on the Playstation Store

  • Nixperience Band – A device that stops experience points from being tallied, preventing the party from leveling up for an added challenge.
  • Carnival Passport – An adorably adorned ticket that whisks the bearer away to a fun-filled carnival for a limited time.
  • Choco-Mog Tee (available late January) – An exclusive T-shirt featuring everyone’s favorite fluffy and feathery friends. Colorful, comfy and appropriate for any carnival-goer.

The Season Pass version of the Holiday DLC adds the following:

  • Ring of Resistance – A protective piece of jewelry that renders the entire party to be resistant to magical friendly fire.
  • Tech Turbocharger – A device for Noctis that accelerates the tech bar replenishment rate, but freezes the Armiger bar.
