Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII)

[Blade]

Well, since you own the game, might as well play it over and over like the rest of us FF-obsessed abnormies.

And even if you don't, you can be like Tres, who somehow "magically" gets his FFXV resources even though he didn't own FFXV for a very long time!

 

[ultima espio]

A debug version of the PC port has been leaked, allows control of Iris and Aranea:

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

More new fun and cool stuff!

Spoiler: Repeatable, non-hack/non-debug glitch for getting Cor as a permanent guest party member

----

Some of this has been achieved through minor hackage of the Windows Edition, but all the assets shown off are still part of the game as shipped:

Spoiler: - Gralea explored in daylight

Spoiler: - Titan summoned in Lestallum

Spoiler: - Various summonings at Cartanica Station

----

Next, here is some awesome fanart from a fan who goes by "NightysWolf":

Spoiler: Immediate aftermath of the original ending

Spoiler: Immediate aftermath of the Verse 2 ending

Spoiler: Prompto through the years

Spoiler: Prompto taking a moment

Spoiler: Blood of the Oracle and Right Hand to the King, back to back

Spoiler: A Highwind for low spirits

This is just a screenshot, but when I saw it with this caption, it really struck me:

Spoiler: What was... What could have been... What is...

----

A witty photoshopping by a fan who goes by "unravelthesongbird":

Spoiler: Somewhat spoilery for the Verse 2 ending

----

Finally, a hilarious little comic that will totally ring true to you if you've played "Comrades" at all:

If someone could do some Gentiana Fan pics like those, oh man...

 

[ultima espio]

It extends as far as Ravus too:

You can unequip his sword and give it to Noctis.

6:38 You can add Luna to your team, but he doesn't select it.

 

[Blade]

Man, I wish I didn't suck at modding/hacking. I have a lot of games I want to pick apart you know!

 

[ultima espio]

We're getting a mod organiser and a map editor:

 

[Blade]

If there was ANYTHING of FFXV I wanted to mod....

It would be events PRIOR to FFXV.

Like, a whole story dedicated to Noctis growing up in Insomnia.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I just noticed how thorough they were in revising Ifrit's model. They even remembered to edit the background image from the Astrals section of the bestiary:

Spoiler: (Comparison image)

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

More fun stuff:

- A gorgeous Lunafreya fanart

Spoiler: (final battle spoilers in these first two videos)

Spoiler: - New (much more limited freedom) glitch for flying around in King of Light mode in Version 1.23

Spoiler: - Magnificently glitched final battle with all four bros taking on Ardyn

Spoiler: (major spoilers for the overall game in this modified scene from the beginning of Chapter 10)

Spoiler: - A fun voice edit where all four bros sound like Glauca while in their Magitek Exosuits

 

[Keveh Kins]

Having maxed out my fishing, I've now moved on to sinking my time into the chocobo racing. Gladio proved to be an immensely frustrating opponent, and I only beat him after giving my chocobo curiel greens, which I can only assume is the chocobo racing equivalent of using performance enhancing drugs

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

What level is your bird at?

 

[Keveh Kins]

Level 8 now It's been a breeze since I beat Gladio, Ignis put up no fight at all

 

[Blade]

I don't remember having this problem (then again I spent most of my time using my Chocobo to run away from Soldiers during the Ramuh quest).

Also I have a really weird habit of buying everything in any shop I ever visit, so yes, I use Greens Performance Enhancers on my Chocobos as needed for travel long distance.

 

[Keveh Kins]

To be fair, as is the case with most of my failed endeavours, the fault is entirely my own I had a really bad habit of mashing the sprint button and my chocobo would be at death's door very quick

I too have weird in game shopping habits. I always round off my items to the nearest ten, so if I have 27 potions, I buy 3 to make it an even 30 and such

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Oh good. I'm not the only one with weird game shopping habits...

like having at least one of every item if it's not a MMO...

or having enough items to kit out everyone in my active team with a specific accessory/armor/etc.

Or having all the fishing bait for FFXIV, which only got worse when the cap on items in a stack was increased from 99 to 999...

At least I never run out of anything?

 

[Blade]

So, I recently tried to use the King's Boat to travel out to the edge of the sea and they turned the boat around on me...

So much for world exploration... sigh.

I can't overstate how much I love this interview: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-final-fantasy-15s-devs-continue-to-redefine-th/1100-6458751/

[Shademp]

Various (I assume, official) interpretations of Aranea

 

[Lex]

Tres, people on ResetERA have mentioned the XV lore archives are awesome. I just thought I'd pass the message along

It's in this thread

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Some serious nightmare fuel at 2:15 and 3:45 in this mod video (Chapter 13 spoilers ahoy):

Spoiler: O_O

 

[Blade]

Finally got my 2nd Megaphone. Should be super fun to play with Armiger now.
