Final Fantasy XV Full Day One Patch Notes

After previewing the contents of Final Fantasy XV’s Day One Crown Update earlier in the week, Square Enix has released the full patch notes for the update and they are quite more substantial than the initial preview blurb.

Final Fantasy XV Day One Crown Update Notes

Battle

  • Implemented actions inspired by the “Omen” trailer by Digic Pictures in the game
    • Warp Drop Kick (When daggers are equipped).
    • Backward Warp magic (Elemental magic activation at short range).
  • Here are some example of Wait Mode exclusive abilities implemented to improve the experience with Wait Mode.
    • Libra Speed Increase – You’ll be able to receive information via Libra quickly.
    • Wait Gauge Recovery – Wait Gauge recovers when defeating the enemy.
    • Surprise Attack Warp Break – When warp-striking to an enemy that isn’t targeting you, it’s easy to destroy the targeted part.
    • Final Blow Shift Break – When warp-striking to an enemy that has less than half its HP, the damage multiplier increases.
  • Added screen effects during the battle to make it easier to understand the HP status.
    • When HP is lower than 25%, the whole screen is covered by a bright red filter.

    Well if that is true then that’s not that terrible of a patch size. Could certainly be alot worse.

    I think I have read somewhere that the update will be 7.2gb. I wonder how big it would have been if they haven´t delayed the game by another 2 months.^^

  3. I wonder how big of an update file this will be. If It’s adding cutscenes I have to imagine it will be fairly sizeable.

  4. The music player sounds really nice. I hope we get it early. I want to listen to “Under the weight” while fighting Titan.^^
