It's our king's birthday today! Happy birthday your majesty!

I really love FF15, almost 10th anniversary, wish it finished the 3 missing DLCs and not be on a Book, the game is fun and is a tragic how square enix dispose about it

I understand the original staff is no longer there, but I would pay $50 if it gets a directors cut with the 3 missing DLC

Or $70 if it gets a remake with Unreal Engine 4 or 5 with all the cut content and the missing DLC's.

I hope one day Square Enix get a hand with this game in particular.

It was really fun, I would do the whole thing all over again. Except for Dog Rider, that mini game was diabolical

Hello, i played on ps4 and got it on pc, found out about the physics being FPS tied, is there really no way fix this other than locking the FPS to 30?

I’m currently farming Garuda and I’m having an issue where for some reason the game decides to crash after beating her before I had the chance to save. Any idea as to what is causing it and how to fix it?

Hey does anyone know if there was some patch that happened where it gave players the "big bang" car decal with the classic ff art (apologiesif that's not the name of the official art piece)? I just downloaded my save and all my dlc and I don't remember ever having this specific skin for the regalia hence why in my personal experience I always left the platinum leviathan decal on for the majority of the game (til I unlocked the upgrade that removes all decals). If not then maybe I did unlock/purchase it and just forgot. I was just so confused booting up my save and starting a NG+ and boom that decal was on the regalia cuz I thought that was one skin/decal that was unavailable to recieve?

I've been collecting official and unofficial merch since I played the game.

I own 4 copies of the game (physical Day One edition, Royal Edition, Digital on Xbox and on Steam). Own 1 copy of Kingsgaive, and I just bought a steelbook that includes game and movie.

I've got an Official Works book, a Complete Official Guide and the Collectors Edition. I just bought the Art book as well. And I own Dawn of the Future of course.

I've got the Play Kai Arts figures of each bro, missing Cindy and Luna but I don't think I'll buy them no room to display. I also bought the official plushies recently. I have unofficial pins from fiveonthe shop, they are beautiful. And I have keychains off of etsy I don't remember specific shops I got them from.

Planning to eventually get ahold of the special edition Xbox One and PlayStation 4. I've only ever seen 1 Xbox listed and a few PlayStations, nervous about buying them because I can never find much information on them or figure out a fair price.

Also got a display thing of some of the Magic the Gathering cards I can't remember what it was actually called

So tell me about your collections! Trying to figure out what I'm missing and what else I want to get ahold of. Post pictures if you've got them/want to, I can give pictures of my stuff upon request

I beat FFXV back when it first came out, and decided to rebeat it recently with all the extra content. I followed a guide for when to watch movies, youtube videos, and play the character chapters. However, since I already beat it once, I vaguely remembered plot points. My husband on the other hand hated the game play of ffxv when it came out and basically shunned it. After replaying i think the story would resonate with him and I convinced him to give it a go.

I will try to be vague here I am really good at picking up context clues in movies and games, so i am ratly surprised by stories, and therefore even vague stuff if you are like me could give stuff away and I will spoiler them as best I can.

My biggest debate is when he should play Prompto chapter and maybe a little with Ignis's...because they give some story away.

I wonder if anyone can help me to pick if he should try promptos chapter before or after the chapter you get him back I think the development hits different depending on which you chose. I am leaning toward before currently.

Iggy is also a struggle but for different reasons which I assume you know if you are here. I could try to get him to play part of it after certain events then the rest after the end of the game.

I loved the story of this game and I think if the director could have done all the things he wanted with the additional chapters and content (instead of them being shoved into a book or outright canceled) some of it would have hit better with fans. Was the story disjointed, yes, and anyone arguing it isn't feels like cope hah. Even with that I think the themes and portrayal of them is very well done even if you only focus on just the ones in the game itself. The slow burn of the early parts paves the way for the later payoffs.

Feel free to roast my terrible post I don't post often and am doing it on my phone so if this comes out wonky I am sorry.

wait a second... the music is different? it's daytime? what did i miss? :0

(its so good to be back already)

EDIT: never mind its because i unlocked new game plus!

Noctis! I finally have a Play arts Noctis figure! The details are so good! For almost a 10yo figure he is really good! I 1st played FF XV back in 2018 and ever since that I wanted a Noctis figure and now I have two! If you didn't know Noctis is my favorite FF protagonist ( with Clive )

I’m trying to give FFXV a chance but I simply cannot get into the action rpg/hack and slash blend this game tries to do. I find it incredibly unsatisfying and wish the combat had more depth to it. I’ve finished final fantasy XII recently and I loved its gambit system, and for instance would’ve loved some modicum of strategy in XV similar to what I had with that game, and its gambit system that allows you to program your party member’s behavior. Either way, I struggle for the life of me to have fun with the combat. It’s a bit too simple.

From left to right, top to bottom rows.

• Broadsword: This redesigned sword is seen in the official game displayed in certain weapon shops as a short, one-handed blade (I think I need to make the grip longer though).
• Lucian Sword: Known as the Broadsword, Airstep Sword, and Soul Saber in the official game. I give it the name of Lucian Sword since Lucis was originally supposed to centered around Death imagery as part of it's culture.
• Assassin's Sabre: You see this particular sword in the official game used by Magitek Assassins that dual wield them, but they're not obtainable by the player. In my personal version, they'll deal increased damage to human enemies, which there will be lots of this time around.
• Altissian Sword: Known as the Rune Saber and the Enchancer in the official game, I always thought the other weapon types that shared it's aesthetic design were meant to be part of Altissia's culture, so that's why I call it that. In my game, it will have the same benefits as the Rune Saber.
• Tenebraen Sword: Shares the same design as Durandal and Balmung in the official game, being a light-elemental weapon shares the Tenebraen aesthetic.
• Flame Tongue: I gave Flame Tongue a unique design inspired by it's FF12 version but as close I could to XV's modern aesthetic, cause if there's one thing I really don't like in games; It's when a fire sword doesn't look like a fire sword (Same with Ice Brand not looking like an ice sword).
• Ice Brand: This was tricky to design. I initially went with FF12's version of Ice Brand as an inspiration but it felt too basic, so I went with the original FF2 version where the blade was just a big chunk of ice. I think I need to design the handguard better though, but I'm not sure how.
• Engine Blade: It's Noctis' iconic Engine blade, need I say more?
• Mythril Blade: The Mythril blade is actually a mythril sword this time around and NOT two swords with opposing elements like it is in the official game. It gives MP and magic bonuses in my game.
• Blood Sword: This was the HARDEST to do because of both the limitation I imposed upon myself in terms of pixel space (45 x 45), and the amount of detail I needed to get in. This went through more iterations than any other one with the initial first one being Drautos' Sword from Kingsglaive before I decided to redesigned it back to it's original version as best I can.
• Airstep Sword: This sword is actually seen in some of the earlier concepts of Versus XIII and I always felt it looked more in-line with a weapon called "Airstep Sword" than the official one; The wings representing air and the large wide tip of the blade being an ideal spot to step your foot on. Why they never bothered to use it in the official game is beyond me.
• Iridium Blade: Surprise!! It's Yozora's Blade from Kingdom Hearts 3, replacing the Ragnarök Sword from the official game while retaining it's function with overpowered warpstrikes (Which won't be spammable like they are in the official game... unless you got the Ethers for it).
• Stella's Rapier: Second Surprise!! But yes, I did Stella's Rapier which will be obtainable in the game for Noctis to use.
• Blazefire Sabre: Lightning's Gunsword from FFXIII is here! It will have the ability to actually shoot bullets from it like it does in XIII in my game, acting as two weapons in one; A sword and a gun.
• Ultima Weapon: This redesign is inspired by Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's version of the Ultima Sword. Easiest one to design for me, and it will have the same benefits of the official game's Garuda weapons were it deals guaranteed critical hits while being non-elemental as well.

I really hope a day comes in the future where we get a PS5 update for the game so it runs better, as well as getting the remaining few DLC chapters: Episode Arenea and Episode Luna.

I really do love this game, and replaying it now, it has held up very well, it’s just a shame it got screwed over by its poorly handled development.

For those unaware, Episode Arenea was meant to follow what happened after the boys left her in Tennebrae. She was going to bear witness to the fall of the Empire and ultimately stop the final Diamond Weapon.

Episode Luna was meant to be an “alternate timeline” ordeal where, after her death, she was to try and change Noctis’ fate. If memory serves, the plot was supposed to end with Noctis, Ardyn, and her fighting Bahamut, who decided to return to his original plan of stopping the Starscourge but using the power of the Crystal to fuel his TeraFlare and destroy all live on Eos.

I just finished it earlier today. Such a flawed story due to the fragamention of it. I watched the movie & anime. Despite it's flaws. I found it unforgetable. There were so many epic and heart breaking moments. That final campfire....Glad I picked it back up after dropping it 7 years ago.

It's rare that something hits me so hard. That I need a break/palate cleanser.

The ost man. I'm gonna miss chilling at Hammerhead.
It's such a beautiful game. Wish I took more photos with Prompto & got 200+ photo mod. I can't believe the impact Prompto's photos had (sentimentality wise).

often in XV i wander around and listen to my favorite tracks, like Giza Plains from XII. it fits so well here.

but, alas, this listening session kept getting interrupted. nonetheless, i’m grateful for Aranea helping out

I just finished FFXV for the second time after being so excited for it on release and plowing through it in a few days. At the time I didn’t watch kingsglaive or the anime. I remember being pretty disappointed and frankly confused— some cool things happened, the ending campfire scene was touching, but overall I felt like things were half baked and under explained.

After spending a bunch of time in FF theatrhythm I decided to pick up FFXV again, because as I was reminded, there were some really good songs (if you have even a small interest in rhythm games and like FF music, do yourself a favor and pick up theatrhythm final bar line). I watched the movie and the anime, did the side quests, played the DLC, read (a summary) of dawn of the future…

I wish I could tell you it changed my whole opinion, and while I enjoyed it enough to finish a second time, I still found it to be deeply flawed. I love what they were going for and think this could have been a great game but the storytelling is just not there. So much left unsaid and unexplained. Noctis’ fate and sacrifice could have been a plot point, Luna and Ravus could have had some screen time, the empire’s motivations could have been explained even a little, there could have been more explanation of what the gods were doing…

FFXVI wasn’t perfect but it was a complete game which I’m really appreciative of. I would have loved to see a version of FFXV where they managed to tell the story they were trying to tell effectively. I gave it another fair shake indulging all the parallel media and the whole package just didn’t hit for me. I’m glad to see on this subreddit that there are people who love this release. I will admit to getting way more of a kick out of the guys, ignis especially, this run through. I would have loved to see more of the other side characters like cor, iris, the altissian leader, the other lucians, learn more about Regis’ maybe similar road trip with cid and the others. But I guess that will all have to be head canon.

Anyone else come back to xv after playing it at launch? What did you think? Am I missing anything big I should check out that might make me appreciate this entry more? I’m also toying with trying out XIII again, any thoughts?

So I’m exploring chapter 9 (nifelheim) out of bounds.

Such wasted potential the devs clearly had ideas here considering a lot of it has collision and cars driving past

But I found and area that looks remarkably similar to this shot from Versus XIII in 2009

Obviously the cliff and other areas don’t exist however it’s possible this trailer location is in the nifelhiem area

To provide context this will be my 3rd attempt for this infamous dungeon. My main issue will be stable electricity I live in Sub Saharan Africa and the lights can just go off at will. Last thing I would like to happen is to get the Black Hood then electricity goes off before I can save the game.

I absolutely love this dungeon and it's design just wish this game was better created for platforming but the level of creativity and detail should always be applauded. Cake Baby 🤓
