Top 10 'Final Fantasy XV' Tips to Make The Game Easier, Have Long Life
For avid players of Final Fantasy XV, here are some top 10 quick tips to make the game easier:
Acquire extra XP
Acquire extra XP by doing the following:
- Complete quests
- Defeat beasts
Get an XP boost
- Get a good night sleep to get a boost to the accumulated XP (which will be applied the next day)
- Check into the Lestallum Hotel which will give a 1.5 XP boost to the banked XP for only 500 Gil a night
- Check into Galdin Quay Hotel which will give 2.0 XP boost to the banked XP. However, an overnight stay will cost 10,000 Gil (or skip Galdin and go straight to Lestallum to save thousands of banked XP)
Refresh Stamina bar for infinite sprinting
To refresh "Stamina" bar for infinite sprinting, here are the following options:
- Unlock "Infinite Stamina" by letting go of the sprint button until the Stamina bar becomes depleted, then hold the button for a split second afterward. The Stamina bar will be refreshed for infinite running and sprinting.
- Extend the Stamina bar by jumping while sprinting
- Display the Stamina bar in the options menu to monitor how much stamina is left.
Spend "Ability Points" in Ascension
Spend "Ability Points" in Ascension to boost stats and abilities of the characters. Here are the following ways to do it:
- Acquire the "Regroup Ability" of Ignis. This ability can heal the whole party and will serve as a lifesaver in some situations.
- After getting the "Regroup Ability", aim for nodes with AP-gaining abilities
Sell items to earn money
Store items in the Treasures category of the inventory by doing the following:
- Travel as much as possible to discover and store items to sell
- Sell collected items to keep the money coming
- Buy stronger weapons using the money earned from selling
Note: Do not sell healing items.
Switch between "Wait" and "Active" combat
"Wait combat" is similar to the turn-based play of older Final Fantasy games where time stops until the player moves. This gives the player a free will to execute singular strategies.
"Active Combat", on the other hand, plays real time where Noctis swings his sword as the player hits a button. Push the controller to the desired direction to move Noctis.
Click all the fork and knife icons on the minimap
The fork and knife icons on the minimap symbolize diners. Diners are the best sources of income in Final Fantasy XV.
To do so, visit each diner and talk to the owner by selecting the "Talk" option.
Use "Fast Travel"
Explore Final Fantasy XV by driving. Use "Fast Travel" to make the game easier by following these steps:
- Go to the "Auto" destination menu
- Unlock all the items with a white fast-forward icon beside it
Make use of the "Return to Rest Point/Car" options
The "Return to Rest Point/Car" option warps the player quickly to the last rest point or car used.
Unlock nodes carefully
To make Final Fantasy XV easier, unlock the following nodes:
- 1-2 "Health Level" nodes which can be found under the Statistics tree
- First "Accessory Slot" nodes
Use "Chocobo"
Use a "Chocobo" to experience a stomping pace of walking and a quick but fixed-route transport.
Final Fantasy XV players can gain access to use "Chocobos" in Chapter 3.
Final Fantasy XV is a sci-fi fantasy media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi and developed by Square Enix.
