Final Fantasy XV Ultimate Freedom - Modding and out of bounds exploration

[@Larxia]

Thank you! The game as a whole is underused and feels like a missed opportunity on many things, wasted potential. It's a great project with many flaws, and many love and hate it at the same time :p

Thank you very much! Really touching comments, I appreciate it :) This is exactly what I wanted to do, showing what it could have been with some improvements / differences, what I wish the game was like. FF XV is bittersweet in general I think. I'm glad you liked it so much :)

@@Larxia I didn't mean to spam haha, thought the first comment didn't go through - I didn't see it on my end anyway, but anyway - I think what the modding community is slowly putting together is something of a community vision/version of the game we all hoped to get.

Despite it's flaws FFXV is still a fantastic game beautiful in lore and gameplay. It's just a shame the head of Square made a gigantic mistake pulling the team to work on a new title before the game could really shine through. I think some of the cut regions would have made it back into the game if Episode Aranea, Luna and Noctis had made it into the game.

[@Larxia]

I'll always be sad about the cancelled DLC, forever wondering what they could have been.

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

This game has such a special place in my heart. Yet I'm still sad thinking about all the potential and all the ideas that just never made it into the final product. The game we now know as FFXV stumbled its way through development, stumbled its way through post-release, and then fizzled out in the end with the canceled DLCs. I know we got the book, and I liked it, but it's not the same. And for that matter, all the DLCs weren't the same as it would have been to just get a game that felt cohesive and well-constructed in the first place. It feels like most of the rest of the world has moved on, but my heart is still right here. It's odd loving a work of fiction that leaves me with this kind of void.

[@Benjisretrospective]

People haven't moved on that's the good or bad thing, thinking makes it so..

[@Larxia]

I definitely haven't moved on lol Which is why I'm recreating the Insomnia part inside kingdom hearts 3 so people can finally explore Insomnia properly.

[@JKSmith-qs2ii]

This game disappointed me so much. I can still see the potential watching your video here.

[@ami-kun]

The game is an work of art but a work of sadness, tabata wasnt really passionate to work on this from the start & it shows all of the ideas that the team & nomura had just simply scrapped or limited. In the open combat insomnia & demo had really cool hidden details & areas that belonged to the original concept of noctis being in the invasion. Sad to see it scrapped away

[@Larxia]

I don't think we can put all the blame on Tabata, we don't really know if the Nomura project would have ever been finished or what it would have been like, it's more like a bad management in Square Enix as a whole. But yes, this game hurts, it's incredibly promising and disapointing at the same time, lot of missed opportunities.

[@ami-kun]

@@Larxia true but they did have a full ready concept but since nomura added so much & yeah thanks to square putting pressure on tabata he had no choice to simplify certain stuff, that’s y the anime & movie were in game cutscenes that didn’t have enough time to be made so were made into a film instead, but this is according to someone who worked in the ffxv team but kinda sounds legit since it makes sense. But honestly I feel bad for tabata & nomura

[@cursuscruor5080]

It's not to be blamed on Tabata or Nomura. But on Square Enix higher ups. Nomura was given a shit ton of projects, from designing, directing, etc. Not to mention many developers in his team being taken from him to work on other projects. And Tabata was forced to connect an unfinished clusterfuck including the changing and development of new engines within a 3-4 year period. It's actually surprising that the game ended as good as it has been. If only the game was given more time to expand and fill plot holes. Hopefully Square Enix would release a definitive edition of FFXV that incorporates all released DLC and unreleased DLC into the main story, in addition to the inaccessible places and regions in the open world.

Wish this particular FF title got the time and care it desserved, because I Loved Noctis and the interesting dark story despite its flaws!

[@fedezmattax184]

529 / 5.000 and the best part is that they spend millions to create an empty game and complain because they don't make numbers compared to how they estimate. The city would have had beautiful potential for a story of the king in the city with his citizens and the vast plains and hills that could be explored and walked around. If they had a minimum of brains and patience to have a return on investment they would have done it in pieces as a multiplayer game which nowadays would be the best instead of spending decades to make a single game ( and in fact prohibited cost ).

Nice vid, how do you increase long distance warp or enable high jumps with Cheat Engine ? Couldn't find the table unfortunately..

[@Larxia]

Hey, here is the table: mega.nz/file/h3J2mDAT#tIkDnjAnpG8SREENCIlY1TEifdDYMYpYUd7hKxMX3YQ You will need the Avatara compatible exe however, since the table doesn't work with the latest .exe, it would need to be remade. There is a category near the end about velocity for X and Y, which will change noctis speed (and therefore warp) and jump height.

[@SJ-nn6mt]

@@Larxia Ah okay, i missed the Avatara.exe part, make my game less stable with stutter sadly. Thanks, but i'll try. Do you also use No Collision mod here or is it delivered with Cheat Engine ?

Are there mods that actually let us play Iris, Aranea, Lunafreya, and Cindy? I would love that so much!

Back when I did this video you needed to use the Debug build for that, but now there is a mod that was released a few weeks ago which allows to change the playable character and other things, you can find it here : www.curseforge.com/final-fantasy-xv/mods/rinuals-mod-menu You will need flagrum to install it.

[@Nyamurai_of_Kamura]

Excuse me, how do I get the debug menu back in the Steam version of the game? I've wanted to do this for a long time, but the methods I know just break the game and do not allow you to run it.

[@Larxia]

I gave up on the idea of downgrading the steam version back to the debug build, it's too tedious, so I simply just downloaded a pirated version of the debug build, that way I can have both the regular steam version and the debug version at the same time, separately. They also use different save / settings locations so they really don't conflict with each others. The downside is that it takes more space on your drive, but it's a lot more convenient if you just want to do some tests and have some fun on the debug without breaking your main game.

[@Nyamurai_of_Kamura]

@@Larxia I hope someday we will live to see the game turned into a good sandbox with good mods. Thanks for the reply.

[@Larxia]

@@Nyamurai_of_Kamura If you want to follow the modding scene I recommend joining the Exineris Discord, it's from people who are making the flagrum modding tool, they plan to make a level editor at some point etc... it's very interesting. discord.gg/y2gtvxyH About the debug, I obviously can't share a link here but if you do want to get it, I recommend looking for FF XV v1138403, Fitgirl repack.

[@HIGH_SCORE496]

I just got FF 15 on my PC today and I can’t wait to do this kind of stuff quick question how do I use the cheat engine and install it?

[@Larxia]

You don't really need cheat engine for most stuff. There's even a mod that's been released to use god mod freely anywhere at anytime from a menu, so even the debug build isn't needed for that anymore: modworkshop.net/mod/38575 Cheat engine is only if you want stuff like editing time of day, change physics etc. If you want to use cheat engine, you need to use a previous exe from the game (look for avatara exe) because the currently available cheat engine table doesn't work with new versions of the game.

how can I activate the leviathan mission through the debug mode?, every time I try I start to fall into a white infinite abyss

[@Larxia]

What? That's strange. How are you trying to start it? You should just be able to start it as you would in a regular game. I went through the debug menu on the main menu, chapter select and picked chapter 9. There I progress through the chapter as usual until I reached the leviathan fight. I suppose you're asking this for armiger mode, once you're in armiger mode during the fight, you can open the debug menu, select "move" and teleport somewhere else. If it's too much problem and you're not in a hurry, I should have a mod to make the usage of god mode armiger possible on the base game in a much more convenient way soon, it's still work in progress.

[@Dulkh4n]

I'm still mad at square because they lied about the mods on this game they promise the pc version will allow some deep modifications but in the end they only allow us to change the costumes of characters... Ohh how I dreamed of a world of ruin mod that allow us to create quests and a new storyline there... So much wasted potential in this game it hurts

[@pilotfloppa3919]

Sorry for bothering ya, but what is the 3-move command?

[@Larxia]

It's the third command available when you open the debug menu in the debug build

[@alumlovescake]

What is meant by debug menu?

[@Larxia]

There is a debug version of the game somewhere that let you access a specific menu with dev features, it's not available in the public release of the game, so you need that specific version for it. It's not necessary anymore for the flying armiger though! I helped working on a mod to allow this transformation anywhere anytime, I need to update the video description and include that. Here's the link: modworkshop.net/mod/38575 You can now toggle it on / off by opening the photo mode in the items.

[@alumlovescake]

@@Larxia You helped work in that mod? Thanks I always wanted to do that but since I was on PC it was already patched out. What about playing as iris and Aranea though is the debug the only way to do that. There is a few mods on the workshop but they look incredibly broken

[@Larxia]

@@alumlovescake Yes, I spent a few days replaying the leviathan and ardyn fights over and over, and editing the script of these missions each time, until I found what was actually triggering that flying mode. I was modifying the scripts until I managed to make it not happen, so I knew it would be the right value to use in a mod. When I found it, I shared it in a discord server about FF XV modding, and someone helped me attaching it to a mod! I originally thought about attaching it to the chocobo rental menu, since it's not something used a lot, and that's what we did, but then someone managed to attach it to the photo mode, which is even better since we can now toggle it on / off from anywhere. For Iris and Aranea, debug guild is the only way I know sadly yes.

[@Larxia]

@@alumlovescake Here are some old clips about when I was trying to figure it out if you're curious lol: This one I found pretty terrifying, being against leviathan in empty void like that streamable.com/2u5qd3 Noctis getting dismembered: streamable.com/z11atg streamable.com/qbbecu And finally when I managed to load the fight correctly, but without the armiger, this was a real celebration moment streamable.com/jztf0w

This game did not age well. Finished it during release and another after all the free dlcs released, and now on last playthrough w royal edition. Episode gladio was embarassing and its criminal that that was a paid dlc. Most of the side quests are useless fetch quests that doesnt build the world or makes sense. Dino a reporter making bracelets? And that AH making u run back to the end of galdin quay every fcking time. Square enix keeps failing to make characters that are believable as real human beings, w expressions, gestures, and dialogues that no real person will say. That scientist that makes you look for dots that passes as frogs omg. They cant even be arsed to come up w a reason why she even need frogs. Towns are designed as pits stops to a world where no one actually lives. Open world has Farms or structures that has no people or purpose other than to show how unplanned and unfinished the world is. I used to love this game, but on this last playthrough,i just got reminded again how SE is trash. This was still better than 13, but that game is pure shit so it wasnt hard to outdo it.
