Archives (ギャラリー, Gyararī?, lit. Gallery) is a menu option added to Final Fantasy XV in patches. It is similar to the Datalog from the Lightning Saga, in that it summarizes information on characters and enemies. The DLCs Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn, as well as Final Fantasy XV: Comrades, also have archives. Archive entries carry over to New Game Plus and Chapter Select.
