With Final Fantasy XVI on the horizon, I thought it would be a great time to re-visit FFXV, one of the best JRPGs of all time. The game is available on PS4, Steam PC, Xbox One and Google Stadia. This walkthrough guide footage was captured on the Playstation 4 version running on a PS5.

The brotherhood of comrades Noctis, Ignis, Gladio & Prompto, alongside other FF favourites such as Sephiroth, Tifa, Cloud Strife and chocobo, will return in future challenge runs!

Noctis is a prince! He doesn't know how to open doors! His servants opened doors for him his whole life!

[crberus]

Even though Final Fantasy 15 is always hated on, I really love it. The characters the world. I understand the downsides too but damn its such a nice adventure.... and it really is insanly pretty

[yazael_angel]

Seeing this playthrough I can't forget to mention that on my run back in 2017 Prompto got stuck underground for half of the game, which was very funny cause he woulp pop out of the ground to perform his team attack then get immediately sucked back into the earth 😭😭😭

[UnionSinger]

Regarding Ring of Lucii, I put that in favor of NOT breaking the rules; the two spells you actually have consume MP which in my books falls under definition of using magic so that’s my two cents.

Great run though.

[RPGchallengeruns]

So how many of you thought this was an April Fools joke? 😆

🔥 _MORE CHALLENGE RUNS_ 🔥

[Neonhorn]

I always think that in challenge runs in games if you’re forced to do something with no way around it, it’s still fine. It’s all about having fun and I would rather see more of a game done under a arbitrary self imposed rule set than say a run failed cause the game offered no other way around.

[lactofermentation]

"Don't think about it too much" is the best approach to take for the game's story overall.

I do like the Noctis solo run in the Imperial capital, if only because it's a straightforward homage to the horror genre. That bit was crafted with love.

[Dr_OneWing]

Honestly FFXV is bittersweet to me

It has some of the best worldbuilding and story beats of any FF title before it. But for some reason, all of that is kept hidden via the movie, the anime, the friggin MOBILE GAME, and random story books found in bus benches.

It could have been the best FF to date if it had just embraced its story telling in a more honest and singular, easy to digest format

[machin_girl]

Same with FFXIII, I loved this game too and they both get notoriously bad wraps. It’s just different strokes for different blokes at the end of the day. Ofc I wished they had done certain things but that was down to personal taste. I did still end up balling my eyes out the end which is a good FF game to me. Sank loads of hours into it which is also another thing I look for in a good FF game. And congrats on the video that’s mega impressive 🎉

[secretscarlet]

Lol thanks for this run. Never expected people to have these kinds of challenges for this. I do wonder how Noctis appears to the NPCs with his cowardly but magical tactics. 😂

[simisoner]

I definitely agree, mandatory warp strikes don't count

[sonnybattaglia]

All of your different approaches revealed pretty interesting cutscenes, like with Arenea staggering when crashing into the metal. So cool!

[sonnybattaglia]

That was so cool what happened to Titan. I never new that event would happen if you wait long enough.

And it’s “cooler” than regularly fighting it.

[azuraslegs]

So happy this wasn’t an April fools joke lol
Final Fantasy 15 is one of my favorite games it’s great to see a challenge run of it!

[TofuLP]

WOW! That was a ride, thanks dude!
The mandatory warp strikes only mean that it is impossible to finish the game in a really puristic view. I would say that it is A-OK to complete the run this way because you played the game using the challenges rules where POSSIBLE, which makes it totally viable. Well at least it was amazing! Great work!

[SpartanNobleValor]

FFXV was my first Final Fantasy game, and dispite the flaws it quickly became one of my favorite story focused games. It made me absolutely fall in love with Final Fantasy as a whole, dispite only having played a few of the games.
The worlds, the writing, the characters.
It all just works in a way that doesn't always make sense.
Recently i started playing FFXIV and the story is really bringing back the feelings i had when i first played XV.
And to top that off they just reran the XV crossover event so i got a nice hit of nostalgia from that too.

I cant wait to play 7 remake and rebirth!
And i really want to play 13!

[andcloudy]

It's a shame bc the magic in this game does actually look so insanely cool, and the crafting to get multi casts with enemy drops is a cool concept. there was just too many hoops, you didn't get nearly enough casts for your effort, oh and yeah it didn't do enough damage, they obviously added the Duscaen Oranges as a peace offering.

[fives]

One of your best so far. You did a great job utilizing the area to give yourself enough breathing space to fight a lot of these bosses.

[Sandy-ikic]

Regarding XV’s story becoming super linear after Altissia, I actually don’t mind it that much. I spent DOZENS of hours being sidetracked on the mainland, and by the time I got in the boat to leave, I felt pretty prepared. And with how much the action and the story ramps up, I kind of appreciate having to hit all the story beats one after another, to avoid me inevitably getting sidetracked again if it had in fact remained open world. So overall, I don’t mind

[sonnybattaglia]

I loved chapter 13 so much because it was like a horror game. The mood was set really well and the ring of the Lucii was so OP!
