Question about the "Universe" content
I'm finally playing through XV for the first time, but I wanted to do all the extra/universe content. I ended up following this guide in the Steam Community, which recommends when to play, watch, and/or read certain things outside of the base game.
Not sure if other people would agree with this person's guide, but I've been following it anyway and have enjoyed it so far. I just finished Chapter 13, played a bit of Comrades, watched the Episode Ardyn Prologue anime, and played Episode Ardyn.
I'm about to play Chapter 14, but after that the guide suggests to play Episode Ignis "Extra Verse" and read "Choosing Freedom" and "The Final Glaive" from the Dawn of the Future book before playing Chapter 15. The comments on the guide suggest that those 3 things, in particular, are related to the "official" alternate ending.
So... as much as I've enjoyed following the guide, this is the one part that feels weird to me. Would it be a mistake to explore the alternate ending before beating the main game first? Should I just play chapters 14 and 15 back-to-back and then explore the alternate ending stuff if I want?
I know it's probably just personal preference, but I'm wondering if there's maybe a good reason to experience the alternate ending first.
