Final Fantasy XV: Exploring Altissia with a special Chocobo 

I find the game just depressing not because the story but because I wish it reached it full form. But after looking into it feels like it was never meant to be

Totally agreed! Its world could have been way more open!

they spend too much on world building that they forgot they also had to make story about it

If i would be millionair i would pay them millions lol

So they make more content

yah i finished playing this 3yrs ago and until now i still wish that we get the full tenebrae, insomnia and altissia, i always want to explore those

Dang... I just finished this game 20 minutes ago😢

if they would have let nomura make his versux xiii it would have been maybe not as beautiful who knows but a better game for sure

For real it's sad so many things they could of done

I don't think it would have been 10x more positively received just because of more freedom, because while I love more freedom and agree with you, a lot of people don't care that much for that and the rest of the problems are too... problematic to be outweight by more freedom. But more freedom for sure would have been great, and on top of what you said, I would add free warp point, like being able to use warp points outside of battles and use that as traversal gameplay mechanic. Warp on top of a building, then warp from building to build etc.

​@@Larxia movement felt so restrictive, you couldn't even jump over small fences or rocks. The invisible walls killed any joy i had in exploration

@@Schizobateman That's true, it often feels like that in most japanese rpgs sadly.

​@@Larxia the traversal/movement from Forspoken would have been perfect for this game honestly. And they could have at least added the rest of Altissia in some sort of DLC. It'a far too finished and beautiful to just leave it as cut content.

Thank you for this nice comment :) I indeed wanted to make a video about how it could have been if the game was meant to be played like this, making it look kind of "official". And it was really fun to play like this!

Yeah I thought it was a pretty fun thing to do, cool to hear you did the same lol It's indeed disappointing that Altissia is the only "external" map that can be loaded seamlessly, the only one actually connected to the world, even insomnia dissapears when you get close. You still even have to be carefull with Altissia because if you don't take a specific path and get outside of the driveable boat area, it won't load at all. It would have been nice if niffelheim was connected to the real world like this yes...

@@Larxia we need a flying chocobo

Ahah well I'm glad you liked it even for different reasons :D But I get what you mean, it is funny lol I'm glad you liked the edit itself and paid attention to the cuts beying synced with the music, that's something I always try to focus on in my music videos.

Thank you :) I'm glad you liked the video!

Yes, I do still like it but all the missed opportunities do hurt.

@@Larxia I also like it, it was my first final fantasy. I wish we could see a return to this world

Yes... The dlc gameplay was great but like you said it's so weird that they made that area and gameplay for just a few minutes, it really doesn't make sense... like a lot of stuff about FF XV sadly.

I explained in the video description, one mod to remove the invisible walls in altissia, and cheat engine for the flying chocobo

@@Larxia Oh, I'm retarded and didn't click the dropdown button to see that. Thank you lol, gonna give this mod a go and tinker with CE.

They everything you hoped for?

Uh yeah sure..

Which beast?

@@Larxia idk arent there any chocobo replace mods

@@Larxia at least i want a replace mod which seems more mighty 😅

Yes, although sadly a lot of it doesn't look good enough from close up to be explorable, it would need improvement to be turned into something decent.

Hm, which moments are you talking about for the NPCs? Because there are only NPCs in playable areas actually. The only place that is out of bounds with some NPCs is the place with the fountain near the beginning of the map, but they just stay there idle and don't even move lol So I'm curious about which places you were refering to.

What's the song?

It only works on the older .exe of FF XV, the one that was compatible with avatara. It's still possible to download it, you can find it on steam forums if you look for avatar guide or something.

@@Larxia Thanks so much, I did it. But, could I ask more? 1. How to make the chocobo move in all areas and terrain, even though the game previously limited some areas that could not go, such as high mountains or the sea? 2. How to control the chocobo to fly freely in the air, I tried but I can only adjust the jump height in the forward direction.

You have to use cheat engine (and the avatara exe since the cheat engine table is only compatible with that one). Here is the link of the cheat engine table: mega.nz/file/h3J2mDAT#tIkDnjAnpG8SREENCIlY1TEifdDYMYpYUd7hKxMX3YQ You will have to open the table when you are on the main menu, and click on "Main Script" and Main Game in the table when you are there, otherwise it won't work. Then you scroll down to Chocobo scripts, and here is a screenshot of it : i.imgur.com/1NZakPb.png Multiplier affects the speed, Jump height well... it does that, and Glide Decent Rate is what will allow you to stay in the air, if you set it at 0 the chocobo will only fall down very very slowly, allowing you to fly for a long time.

@@Larxia thanks

Still cant really blame them, game had been in development for like 10 years and was only like 30% conplete, obv they would cancel it

What do you mean? It's not a pre made mod or something like that, I'm using a mod to remove the colissions, which is linked in description, and the rest is done by changing values in cheat engine, also using the previous version of FF XV (the one that still had avatara, because the cheat engine table is only compatible up to that version)

I really, really don't think that FF XV has the "worst open world in gaming", there are much worse open world games. For example these days I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy and oh boy... It would be too long to explain all my complaints, but basically you have all the icons everywhere you don't discover anything by yourself, and sometimes you will explore a place, there's nothing there, and few hours later a NPC tell you to go there and now there is something, it's incredibly frustrating, and the activties are so repetitive, it's insane lol I mean I agree XV doesn't have the best open world, I would have liked more towns / cities in particular, but a lot of people actually complain about the "empty spaces", and I actually liked them. I think that spaces without quests, just wild spaces, are meant to exist in open worlds, it feels good free roaming without being interupted by side quests every 30 seconds. I just wish the world was bigger with more cities, but the wild lands in themselves are fine for me.

​@@Larxia Honestly just wished there were more enemy types out in the wild, its mostly the same handful of animals

the story was acc good tho 🤔 I pretty much enjoyed the game but to each their own
