A little tip for anyone who doesn't know. At camp grounds, you can go into training to heal everyone back to max. You don't need to camp or rent a motel or even need to use healing items, just go to camp, train, complete training and bam, everyone is healthy.
Make sure you do side quests and hunts. Trust me, if you just do the main story you'll always be out of gil and will have barely any potions, weapons, armor, and stuff. I learned that the hard way.
The biggest troll in the game is how it tells you to sell your treasures for gil but you actually need some of them to upgrade your weapons and some of them are gone for good until you can go back in new game plus. There is a list you can get to know which treasures are safe to sell but the easiest way is to just keep 1 of every treasure, all the upgrades only need 1 treasure and no upgrades require the same treasure so its safe to sell all your duplicates until you've upgraded every weapon then you can sell all your treasures. If you made the mistake of selling all 6 Metal Scraps at the start like I did then you'll have to wait until you finish the game and unlock new game plus to go back to chapter 1 and 2 to make them respawn.
Mightylink yep. The game tells you that they’re insignificant and are only there to sell. I’m halfway through chapter 3 right now and have sold pretty much everything I shouldn’t have. I hope it doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass too hard
I bought this game out of the blue, and even though I’m having fun, I don’t have much idea what I’m doing. This video was really helpful, so I think I’ll be starting over. Thank you for making this video!
The thing i wish I had known from the start was to be extremely patient and not attack your enemies too soon. This is not a beat'em up game and can be extremely unforgiving if you rush in too soon. Most of the time, you start a battle by analyzing your targets from a distance and then dodging around until you and your friends are in position. Wait for the prompt to block and counter attack and don't make any mistakes or you'll use a lot of potions.
@@metalstiches I died once early on when I didn't have a clue what I was doing. As far as I remember the game just stops and you have to reload from an earlier save.
What’s the best controls for this game having dodge/phase and attack backwards feels weird never played any game that used a circle for attack and square to evade
Thank you so much! I havent played since I killed Sepiroth back in the day. For murdering my love. Went bonzo on wargames and co op. [Hockey ,NFL and basketball.] But I am finally back. This info was what I needed! A+, I am to old for the flaming hoops.
Very, very helpful video, man. I'm a big FF fan and I finally played FFXV for a few hours today, but was a little confused/frustrated about some stuff. Loved to hear about infinite sprinting and I think your tip about wait mode in combat might have saved the game for me. Thanks a lot!
I've just started playing this game on the PS4, but the text is so tiny that I can't read it so the tutorial was useless. So I've just been mashing random buttons to fight the monsters, and doing pretty okay doing that, too, lol... At least they follow the button "standard" that most fighting games follow: square = block, circle is light attack, triangle is heavy attack.
Damn I really wish I had seen this video before I started playing XV. I'm 10 hours in, on chapter 5 and I still barely know what I'm doing. Hopefully this'll make the rest of the game go more smoothly!
I did a full main story oriented play through on PS4 without knowing about Wait mode. Now that I’m replaying it trying to do everything on PC and I’ll definitely use that.
The land on the map is very boring. Ff games are magical but the whole map feels like they dumped a rock here and there its not very colorful and find it very grey and boring. The look of the landscape is very disappointing to me it just all looks the same. Its either forest or very grey areas
The wait combat thing put me off getting this game for ages because I thought it was default and the only option. I bought the game for $14 aus because it was $14 and was so happy to see it has real time/active combat instead
A lot of the tips related to maximizing XP risk overlevelling your dudes to the point that the game becomes easier than it otherwise would be. I'd suggest keeping an eye on the level requirement of the main quest line --- that's the game's way of telling you the level you "should" be at. I did a few hunts and side quests early on, and was stunned when I saw the end of Chapter 1 quest was only a level 3 quest while my dudes were all at level 7-8!
Go to Myrlwood and get the weapon there. Trust me, I just got it and not only is the weapon a lot of fun to use, but it deals pretty great damage as well. I just took out Aramusha by using it for the first time of both using that weapon and the first time fighting him and it only cost me about the same amount of gil that you get as a reward for a second time. Also, I disagree with using wait mode. I prefer active. I've never used wait mode. Some battles were kinda difficult at first but after about 40 hours or so the learning curve starts getting easier and you can handle all kinds of stuff in way faster time then it would take if you used wait mode. Time is money. I would also suggest buying meals from every chef you come in contact with just because your chef can learn some recipes which means you have more options when cooking in camp. There are some things about using the vehicle that would totally come in handy in this video. One tip I can offer is that if you find a location for a quest or something you can't fast travel to, pick the closest place you CAN fast travel to. This will cut down on time considerably. Time is money. It only costs 10 gil (5 if you are me) to fast travel to any location. As long as you did pretty much anything in the game you will makeup that gil lost from fast traveling. I'm on PC and just bought this game about 2 weeks ago. This might be my favorite FF yet.
thanks so much for the tips! noob here and you just made my in game life easier, much easier! but I still can't understand how to get those skills like Ignis regroup. It shows that I have 200 or 300 AP but I can't understand how to use them.
First off.. you have to buy it from the menu.. and then go to gear and equip it.. it's where the arrow is as soon as u open the gear screen on that character.. in combat hold circle and select the skill u want want to use from ur comrades..
AC Valhalla might be boring or whatever But it is one hundred percent not the s#it you've been playing for 10 years ago It's barely the s#it you've been playing 5 years ago
me: "I should check to see if it's safe to sell my rare coins before I sell them."also me: "Nah I'm too lazy"also also me: *watches this video*also me 4: *flips a table*
This may sound stupid but I feel I'm struggling with the warp strike. I'm holding down the R1 button and pressing triangle and sometimes I have to do press it twice and waste double mp because the first time just warps and then I get the strike. This especially happens when doing it from a warp point. I've also tried it while holding down the triangle button and it's the same issue. What am I doing wrong?
Jerry Purvis yeah just hold R1 then press triangle to warp WHILE still holding down the R1 to lock and it should all be fine. Not sure if you already know this by now but just in case you didn't, there you go.
6:42 I guess this got patched. Holding Square (PS4) the entire time does not block every move, only works once, then you have to hit the button again, it won't let you just hold it down it doesn't work
When I'm driving and push the touchpad the map comes up, but my progress is paused. How do I make it to where i keep driving while looking at the map and have that little window on the map?? Please help!!! I'm sure its probably something simple, but ive been trying to figure it out for days and have had no luck )):
50 hours in the game so far, and I just learned all this stuff (shame on me, I use the Magitek armor for rushing dungeons and doing the Cactuar Daily Quest) Ignis Regroup sounds crazy. I thought it was useless, so I held into other abilities.
About point 4, equip niexperience band which doent allow the experience to be gained gained during rest. After colloecting bunch of experience unequip the band and sleep in qualdin quay or altessia for boost. I found game much more enjoyable after doing this.
the boosting stuff i never new until i accidentially let go of mouse left click lol and its much easier on pc by the way the talents are freaking OP in all aspects lol i literally dealing 2000-3000dmg with lv5 charakter lol
didnt know about the sprint tip it was helpful ty. got any tips for the lock on system i hard lock ennemies with r1 + pressing right analog stick but for some reason the lock goes aways after some moment.
Thank You! I am finally going to start this game again after getting the Royal Edition. I took a break from Final Fantasy 14 online I just want the normal Solo feel right now.

It cost 5 thousand the cost is half after a while. No wait mode unless your not really good at fighting games. Wait mode is decent for what it can do but you can do it on the battle field faster without wait n learn how to attack at the same time then just waiting which makes it less fun. Great video by the way this is great for a beginner most definitely you giving them a good head start

60 hrs of gameplay and im just now learning about that sprint boost...
Srsly?...
Same i think i 've got more hours at that point
But i also didn't know
I figured it out within my first couple hours
haha!
This game's cooking is absolute food p0rn on PC at ultra settings.... Even in the PS4 it looks really good.
Ha ha yeah the food looks great makes me hungry
can you say "peggy 15" hahahaha
OMG i thought the same thing!
I just started this game and I managed to kill 3 iron giants before taking my first sleep at galdin quay and I just leveled up to 14
What’s the best controls for this game having dodge/phase and attack backwards feels weird never played any game that used a circle for attack and square to evade
Very good and clear information, your tips and they way you spoke about them was great.
Thank you Mr Farage, glad they helped :D
I'm enabling wait mode right now.
Love ur commentary and personality. Very uplifting and fun to listen to. Great content man. 👊🏼

no sleep in chapter 1 really helped, went from level 1-11 coz of 2x exp
4:31 😑 Dang. Already slept more than than once before end of chapter 1
With nixperience band equipped, is it still recommended to avoid sleeping?

It is the first open world gameplay of the final fantasy franchise. I'm sure they will get better on to the next one.
Great tips, I know them all, but still! I am LOVING this game! I am very happy with it :) Hope you're doing great man!
Thanks mate - yeah all good mate, hope you and family are good too :) Love this game, I've got 2 chapters left to go :(

Awesome video for us begginers... Does how do you set the technique for your friends...like the group heal!
After doing all sidequests and hunts and maxing out level at 120 and getting 8 magitech V2's and 1 rare metal, I went off and faced Ardyn.
How'd that turn out?
Nice one, man. I'm planning on playing this for my stream. I didn't want to go into it blind lol.
Hate it when hopping out, it drives me way further from where I told them to stop
Just press the brake first before hopping out

Yea chapter 1 got me killed
