Final Fantasy 15 - Top Beginner Tips!!

[@OhjiiGlacier]

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.

[@DrKumkar]

real tip in comments, thx

[@Madmonkeman]

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.

[@lookouthero3154]

I can agree

[@jacobbrown8561]

Ty!

[@enntran4165]

I can agree with this lmao. When I started I just zoomed through and absolutely got demolished by the stronger enemies

[@mightylink65]

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.

[@the1ghrol]

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

[@VeilSideZ32]

I never sell stuff in final fantasy even old weapons... I just don’t like to get rid of things lmao

@@VeilSideZ32 I'm a collectionist so I keep a copy of every item I get my hands on

[@meeekeeey]

Fuck

[@DontFeedTheTrolls]

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]

Im in chapter 6 right now and havent died yet so im assuming that you lose items of you do?

[@robertobech]

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!

[@MenWhoStareAtGames]

Glad I could help!

[@lewixsham7416]

Very good and clear information, your tips and they way you spoke about them was great.

Thank you Mr Farage, glad they helped :D

[@waiting4jesus316]

This video was very helpful. I just got royal edition today.

[@HungryGuyStories]

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.

[@JawAction1]

I love the way you talk and explain things. Alot of useful tips that I had no idea about.

[@MenWhoStareAtGames]

Thank you and glad it helped :)

[@1Ksheffi]

Great tips. I've had this game on my system for a year and never sat down to play it, but now that I'm taking my second crack at it this helps!

FIRST TIP was a HUGE SIMPLEE ONE!!! Had my attention for the WHOLE video after that one. Ty!

[@yashasvirallabandi9070]

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!

[@MrMan-33]

Been playing for about 6 hrs and not really sure if I’m playing the game correctly. This video helps! Thanks for the tips!

[@chuckguerin8141]

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.

[@Qladstone]

Happy to see someone giving wait mode some love!

[@KiaraDex]

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

[@the7thseven873]

4:31 😑 Dang. Already slept more than than once before end of chapter 1

[@warbirb9774]

With nixperience band equipped, is it still recommended to avoid sleeping?

[@AshutoshPathak]

OMG i thought the same thing!

[@eunomiac]

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!

[@cosmo8400]

Thanks for this detailed video, enjoyed watching this, looking forward to playing FF15, completed FF16 last week.

[@childofgodseligmiller5024]

Awesome video for us begginers... Does how do you set the technique for your friends...like the group heal!

[@OldThingsPassAway]

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.

[@rushpatriot2866]

The fast travel is obvious for any open world

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.

[@LifesTales2010]

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..

[@LifesTales2010]

Hope that helps

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.

[@xxandyxx569]

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.

[@jjrg738]

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

[@rushpatriot2866]

Wait mode is more useful for what damages the enemy the most. People aren't gonna be waiting in it for anything else

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?

[@Cesar-dj3pv]

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.

Why do I have the ability to have infinite stamina? I know it's an item I have equipped. But is this item from an update patch, or is it from buying the royal edition with the included DLC?

Sorry I don't know, I never found an item that gives unlimited stamina - maybe its a glitch? but enjoy it while it lasts!
