There is no reason to use cheats in game . This version of FFXV is easy enough as it is .


The Ragnarok weapon , which came with the Window edition as FREE content is OP beyond words
9999 warpstrikes everywhere , rendering every other weapons useless and it is available from the start.





Talk about poor balance and p2w , they were originally selling the sword as DLC on the console version
Don't equip the sword if you want to save some challenges for yourself

you mean chapter 3 - open world?

you're not allowed to go west in chapter 2 without infiltrating.

and since you're already in the 50s, try the toughest dungeon. not sure if it's accessible at chapter 3 or not. the tomb that gives the heavy sword.

Not sure if they added new mobs.

But adamantoise used to be the toughest one. Ok maybe not the toughest but definitely the most time-consuming one with it's insanely high HP.

Maybe the newly added ones in Insomnia? Can't say for sure.

There's no hard mode. Hardest is normal (which imo, is rather easy).

Honestly, i really discourage grinding in FFXV. One/two shot-ting bosses really kills the game and is anti-climax. The game is real easy to level up and rare eq aren't really rare. I personally stayed lvl 1 throughout entire 3 chapter and accumulated over 300k exp and even at that, its still not that hard.

Challenge comes after the Story ends and when you finally get to access hidden dungeons. Those are slightly harder than usual.

Comrades is a really good add-on to play multiplayer without feeling your solo'ing the entire game. FFXV is truly a great game but I'll remember when I finish the game around Level 57.

I have no idea how you got this screen .

Back up and restore is a feature from Steam that let you back up and restore games to previous version , it isn't turned on by default .
So make sure you have enough drive space to install FFXV
If you are really struggling to download the high res texture pack , you can skip that . The difference isn't really obvious unless you plan to play the game on 1440p +

Not a must to download that.

I'm on average and the graphics is as good as it is on PS4. But I could be wrong since I'm comparing 23 inch monitor to 60 inch TV.

Lazy to bring my monitor next to TV. But it's definitely damn good enough in my eyes. It's as good as Witcher 3 very high without the hairworks of course.

To put it in an easier way to understand, the standard FFXV is good up to 1080p. Anything more than that you will need to download the 4k texture pack. Honestly, the 4k pack is worth downloading IMO if you're a person that fancy eye candies, the difference is notable especially in cutscenes/prerendered cgi.

Also, even if you're playing on 1080p, if you're scaling at 125% with 4k texture pack, difference is definately obvious. Subtle but obvious at the same time.

Witcher 3 is nowhere as good as FFXV IMHO(stock vs stock without 3rd party mods).

FFXV Windows Edition just set a new benchmark and a standard to game graphics, its stunning to say the least and looks wayyyy better than ps4.

whats the diff between 125% and 200%?

hmm... lets say it this way.

Your screen resolution is 1920 x 1080. At 100%, your game renders everything @ 1920 x 1080, which fits everything on your screen snugly. At 200%, your game renders double of that resolution (3840 x 2160) then SCALE it to fit your resolution aka, squeeze all the massive 2k details onto your 1080p. Means, you get much more detail as much as your sceen allows and chances is, you dont even need AA minus our usual AA annoying blurring as jagged edge at 200% scaling is practically non existence. But at a serious cost to your GPU/CPU/RAM. Its basically the same as playing on a 2k monitor, with quality between 1080 and 2k... or maybe lesser.

There's also a built in feature in NVIDIA and AMD that does this, its called DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) in Nvidia GPUs and GPU Scaling in AMD Crimson Software.

Best AA method out there, but also largest hit on system resource.

Back to our 4k Texture Pack, without it, the game textures and assets + cutscenes are limited to 1080p. While its perfectly fine if you're playing on 1080 resolution, but if you want more quality out of it, installing the texture pack and upscale your resolution 100% gives noticable difference, especially finer details like hairs, leaf/rock's texture, tesselated texture and not to mention, pre-rendered CGI cutscenes looks bloody amazing in 4k.

TLDR : more upscaling = better graphics quality = more demanding on your system. Find your sweetspot.

And yes... our multiplayer DLC is almost like Solo DLC...

Btw, its completely fine to install on a HDD, doesnt HAS to be an SSD as long as you have ample memory on your GPU. Surely loading time may take a tad longer, but seriously, its not gonna affect your FPS, which is what matters the most. And installing games on a separate drive from OS helps alot too.

FFXV doesnt "load" too often, moving through the open world is pretty much seamless unless you teleport (quick travel / respawn at last resting place / story advancement or inter-continent travels).

FFXV on PC is indeed a marvelous looking game with a lot of customizing options

But if we are talking about setting new benchmarks , FFXV on PC, while being technically impressive the game looks a little dated in comparison with more recent game like AC : O . This is especially obvious if you have HDR enabled display

At its core the comparison isn't very fair , because FFXV is an older game than AC : O ( 2016 vs 2017 ) .

Fact that Assassin Creed : Origin on PC has won multiple awards of Art direction and named best game Graphic of 2017 . If you like to look at pretty games , you should check the game out especially the Tourist mode, bringing you for a tour around ancient Egypt


In comparison of a 4k video I made from a HDR monitor awhile ago , AC : O is more advanced when it comes to shadow rendering , water , environmental lighting , global illumination and texture filtering , while FFXV has more advanced geometry for foliage , character models and their hairs , hairworks etc .

Actually 3840 x 2160 is around 400% of the standard 1080p not 200%

A simple total of pixel counts from the resolution (non wide screen) would be :


1920 x 1080 ( FHD ) = 2073600 (standard 1080p)

2560 x 1440 ( QHD ) = 3686400 ( roughly a 177% increase from 1080p )

3840 x 2160 ( 4K / ULTRA HD ) = 8294400 ( around 395% increase from FHD/1080p , 225% increment from QHD 1440P , A staggering 800%+ comparing with 720p )


Which is why 4k is so demanding because for every rendered frame it draws 4 times more power from your CPU / GPU compare to the standard 1080p.
