Car-kun Goes to the Holy Land
(1) Umbra: Bark! (You got mail!)
C: Ah, a dog!
(2) "I know the FFXV comic's started recently, but I don't think I've ever seen its blue protagonist before. Did the creature make an appearance elsewhere?" (Insomnia/Male)
(4) C: That can't be right... Didn't I show up in the main game?!
I'd come save Noct!
Titan: You wouldn't come unless they were playing on easy mode.
(5) T: And if they hadn't played through the Platinum Demo first, they wouldn't be able to see your true form.
C: No way...
I think I'm gonna pass out...
(6) G: Oh blue creature, how awfully troubled you look.
C: Gentiana.
G: Please make your way to the Holy Land in the Other World, said to grant one's wishes...
Umbra and Pryna will be your guides.
(7) G: And take these snacks with you.
C: There's nothing but bones left.
(1) The Other World (Earth)
The Holy Land (East Shinjuku)*
(2) Cerberus
(3) "Front desk"
Cerberus: May those without an appointment take their leave.
C: Wha—what's going on?
(4) H: That's a "Carbuncles Prohibited Area" sign!
As long as they have it up, no carbuncle can get close!!
(5) C: Welp, guess that's that.

(6) Afterwards, Car-kun got the Holy Land's contact info from Gentiana and called the number to negotiate over the phone.
C: Hello, is this Tabatis? Re-release the Platinum Demo!
H: (Whoever that guy is, his name sure is weird.)
Tabatis: We'll think about it.

Episode 5: Secrets from the Platinum Demo
Umbra: The Platinum Demo was a game demo for FFXV available until March 31, 2017. Guided by Carbuncle, child Noctis journeys through a fantastical world—an adventure you can only experience in this demo.
Pryna: The Carbuncle we know here was made specifically for the Platinum Demo, so expecting him to also appear in the main game may have been asking for too much.
Car-kun: ...
Umbra: The demo tells the story of a dream Noct sees in his childhood, so we get to see many of the toy cars, building blocks, and other toys Noct enjoyed playing with back then.
Pryna: From forests to streets reminiscent of Altissia, they're all reflections of the tales of adventure Regis would share with him.
Umbra: I bet Noct had the time of his life listening to his dad's stories!
