Final Fantasy XV: 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

1. Stray From The Beaten Path

This might seem like an obvious one, but it bears a mention simply because no Final Fantasy has ever been as open as this before.

In your first hour, if you look hard enough and stray far enough from the beaten path, you can find hidden dungeons and caves rife with gems and resources that will come in handy later on. Just beware the monsters guarding them aren't too strong, or else you'll be tossing your controller at the Game Over screen.

With a beautiful landscape, active day/night system and dynamic weather, the world of Eos is a work of art to behold and enjoy, made all the more dramatic by the music that changes and adapts to the circumstances. Battles and dangers are mirrored with fast beats and staccato, whilst slow drives and panning views are accentuated with strings.

Use your opening hours with our fresh-faced heroes to enjoy the beauty of Eos, and explore its secrets on your own terms.
