With Final Fantasy XVI on the horizon, I thought it would be a great time to re-visit FFXV, one of the best JRPGs of all time. The game is available on PS4, Steam PC, Xbox One and Google Stadia. This walkthrough guide footage was captured on the Playstation 4 version running on a PS5.
The brotherhood of comrades Noctis, Ignis, Gladio & Prompto, alongside other FF favourites such as Sephiroth, Tifa, Cloud Strife and chocobo, will return in future challenge runs!

Honestly FFXV is bittersweet to me It has some of the best worldbuilding and story beats of any FF title before it. But for some reason, all of that is kept hidden via the movie, the anime, the friggin MOBILE GAME, and random story books found in bus benches. It could have been the best FF to date if it had just embraced its story telling in a more honest and singular, easy to digest format

WOW! That was a ride, thanks dude! The mandatory warp strikes only mean that it is impossible to finish the game in a really puristic view. I would say that it is A-OK to complete the run this way because you played the game using the challenges rules where POSSIBLE, which makes it totally viable. Well at least it was amazing! Great work!

@Buglin_Burger7878 Жыл бұрын

That reasoning doesn't work though. You could even go fight an enemy to get a rare item and since it isn't possible to defeat them with magic you can start attacking them or using any other source. This could apply to a boss where you simply can't make magic strong enough to progress as well.

@TofuLP Жыл бұрын

@@Buglin_Burger7878 Yes, you are right; which would mean the run failed, as it does using a mandatory warp strike if the rules forbid it. So to finish a "failed" run in the spirit of the challenge is A-OK to see what else the playthrough has to offer is what I meant. To keep going even if the challenge is not doable using the basic rules is way more fun than just saying "done, isn't possible" halfway through. You've got a really valid point there. I might've just written my message too misleading, sorry ^^

Regarding XV’s story becoming super linear after Altissia, I actually don’t mind it that much. I spent DOZENS of hours being sidetracked on the mainland, and by the time I got in the boat to leave, I felt pretty prepared. And with how much the action and the story ramps up, I kind of appreciate having to hit all the story beats one after another, to avoid me inevitably getting sidetracked again if it had in fact remained open world. So overall, I don’t mind

For me, it did kinda bother me. I hadn't completed the open world section, I had moved on ahead wanting to progress the story a bit before resuming some open world'ing... Aaaaand that never happened. It's kind of the opposite dynamic of regular RPGs, as in the world normally gradually opens more the more you progress, and you get to do all the end-game optional stuff before entering the final dungeon, whereas here the world closes the more you progress, making all the optional content missable beyond a certain point.

I don’t think forced warps fail the run. There’s a difference between a forced warp and doing it intentionally for an advantage, just like how there’s a difference between running sections of FFX as no sphere grid in solo runs and actively using the rest of the party to win battles when your solo character is available.

To answer the question about how I feel about the late game: I personally got a little frustrated because I realized (very late in the story) that I missed many missions and was missing some of the weapons from tombs. I took a long break from playing it and re-started the game and took my time. It ended up with me being over-leveled for most of the fights that I originally had trouble with. This made my eventual arrival to late game a lot smoother, and I was more attentive with how to use my team. The post release patches that were all implemented by the time I got back in the game also helped a lot. To give a bit of an idea of how long my break was with this game: I started it on the PS4, and left it, only to return to it on Xbox series S YEARS LATER cause the whole bundle of dlc etc was on sale for 20$ 🤷🏽‍♀️ hey, I eventually beat it, and enjoyed the game more with hindsight in play knowing not to go too far story wise before I complete side quests. Learned that if you keep up with the side quests, you can over level yourself. Also got to take a group photo with Aranea which was nice to add to the photo album. A bit sad that I didn’t get a full open world, but I enjoyed the game. I was a big enough fan to watch the anime and movie etc so I got to enjoy the intertwined story elements. I can see where people would just dislike it though. It’s still a favorite of mine, mostly because I’m bias and adore Prompto and Ignis. 😂

Hats off to you man! 🎉 I think Noctis' blink strike is intended to be the main combat type of the game; magic only supplementary. So your goal of using magic only was really difficult, taking much effort and dedication. But you pulled it off. It was so entertaining to watch the entire vid. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm so shocked you didn't have to play that one arcade mini game to make limit break magic. I spent way too many hours doing that since i was playing a more magic focused build myself, not a challenge run like you but my god it was soul crushing.

I like this idea. Thanks for doing the magic only run for FF15. I love chapter 13, pre-ring of Lucius patch. I think I might do a challenge run of this, but game, but with a twist( as I almost beat it my first playthrough with this twist anyway. Magic in this game can be OP if you didn't have to keep refilling your flask which is why this run is so hard and plus, you didn't level up or use Items. Good show.

Much respect. This is one of my very favourite games and I love doing challenge runs. I've only ever done a pure mage in a NG+ so I can make use of the ring, because I feel doing a mage WITHOUT the ring is insanity. I may give this run a go but I am not quite masochistic enough to have all those rules in. I'd have to put on the royal raiment, use the ring of resistence and grab some decent magic buff meals. I'll gladly do lvl 1 and no items. Unsure about the no weapons, I wouldn't use them but things like the trident of the oracle and sword of the father give a huge magic boost when equipped. Fascinating seeing you win the big fights without doing the QTE's. 27:08 One of my fave fan theories that kinda holds a little water is that THAT is Prompto's mother and the baby she talks of, is Prompto

FFXV was my first Final Fantasy game, and dispite the flaws it quickly became one of my favorite story focused games. It made me absolutely fall in love with Final Fantasy as a whole, dispite only having played a few of the games. The worlds, the writing, the characters. It all just works in a way that doesn't always make sense. Recently i started playing FFXIV and the story is really bringing back the feelings i had when i first played XV. And to top that off they just reran the XV crossover event so i got a nice hit of nostalgia from that too. I cant wait to play 7 remake and rebirth! And i really want to play 13!

This was another fantastic run Boss, can't imagine anyone else doing a better job. You asked how we felt about the open-world/linear crossover after Chapter 9 at 48:17 . I persanally liked the changeover, kinda gave me the feeling of "There's no time to mess around now, we gotta get this done". I did feel that this point of the game felt kinda "Rushed", and especially since there was a LOT of content/story/lore missing out of the base game that was only included later, such as Episode Prompto, since that had a fair bit of story content and lore. Though, that point could be made for the entirety of the game, it's just a shame this game was rushed for release, and even more so that they cancelled some of the DLC Episodes. Still, FFXV is one of my favourite games of all time, and was one of the first games I managed to get the Platinum trophy for. Solid 8.5/10

I can already tell the moment I'm on the main story track I'm gonna be running through it straight to NG+ in no time =D

But too much power leads to the right of total control and domination is there’s with no concern for failure or the needs of people. If someone feels they have extreme power they will abuse it.
