Ten years in the making, FF15 is finally here, and we've got all the help you'll need.
It's been a very long time coming indeed, but the fifteenth entry in the Final Fantasy series is here. After a very long and rather intense development period the game is finally in your hands – and for the first time in the series it features a sprawling open-world area with loads to do.
Lots to do inevitably means there's going to be a number of questions, especially in an RPG of this scope. Thankfully we're here, and we've already pumped a good 60-plus hours into the game while crafting our review. There aren't many so well poised to fill you in as to things you should know, and so we've started crafting this, our guide to things we think the average FF15 player is going to want to know.
Rather than a complete walkthrough of every single aspect of FF15, we figure we'll at least for now let you figure out that stuff yourself. Instead, we're building very in-depth pages on specific topics that we think from our experience with the game some players will be scratching their heads over.
So – before you jump in to your quest to reclaim the throne of Lucis and the city of Insomnia, here's some stuff you should keep in mind.
As with any RPG worth its salt, Final Fantasy 15 has quite a lot going on. There are a ton of interlocking systems – some of them plain in their utility, some not quite so kind to the player in explaining what they do.
Here are our tips for beginners on how to get to grips with the game in general, plus how to power yourself up right and do it quickly.
It doesn't really matter if you're just starting out or if you're a more experienced player who has simply hit a brick wall of indecisiveness – Final Fantasy 15's character progression is full of choice and as a result can sometimes be rather paralysing. These are some must-have skills to make your early choices easier.
Final Fantasy 15 features all the EXP and level-up based shenanigans you'd expect for a big-budget, large-scale RPG, though it does take something of an interesting approach to how experience works in the game. Allow us to guide you through how to make the most of these mechanics.
Experience Points and levelling up are one thing, but Final Fantasy 15's character progression is actually divided into two distinct segments. The first is levelling up, which we've already covered in detail. The second is AP and the Ascension Menu – an important system to understand and correctly exploit if you want to get the most out of the game.
Hidden away deep in parts of FF15 are some features that aren't exactly made obvious but are pretty damn important either way.
Final Fantasy 15's airship takes the form of a flying car, the Regalia Type-F. The Regalia is with you all game, of course, but you're able to upgrade it, changing its look to be a little more slick and then rather impressively making it into a full-on Final Fantasy airship that can fly all around the Lucis portion of FF15's game map. Here's how you get it.
Final Fantasy 15's main story introduces you to the concept of Royal Arms, powerful weapons that once beloved to the long-dead kings of Lucis. Across the course of the story you'll be given a few in a compulsory manner, but there's actually far more than the game points you to out there for you to find in the world. We've listed them all here – compulsory and optional – so you can make sure you gather all of the weapons.
If you've been getting stuck in to FF15, chances are you've spent a decent amount of time in its amazing dungeons. If you've done that and made your way all the end to a few of these dungeons, you've probably found a mysterious door. How do they open? What's inside? Allow us to explain…
