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

    Same with FFXIII, I loved this game too and they both get notoriously bad wraps. It’s just different strokes for different blokes at the end of the day. Ofc I wished they had done certain things but that was down to personal taste. I did still end up balling my eyes out the end which is a good FF game to me. Sank loads of hours into it which is also another thing I look for in a good FF game. And congrats on the video that’s mega impressive 🎉

    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.

    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.

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 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.

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.

    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!

    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. 😂

    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

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.
