News - Final Fantasy XV : Änderungen des Day-One-Updates im Detail

Am morgigen Dienstag wird Final Fantasy XV endlich erhältlich sein. Bereits vor einiger Zeit wurde in diesem Zusammenhang auch ein Day-One-Patch angekündigt. Diesbezüglich gab Square Enix nun konkrete Details bekannt.

Das sogenannte Crown-Update ist rund 8 GB schwer und daher auch substantiell für das Rollenspiel. Die enthaltenen Änderungen betreffen sowohl die Kampfmechanik als auch Spielfeld, Menü und sonstige Punkte. Auch diverse Bugfixes sind natürlich mit von der Partie, um euch vom Start weg ein möglichst reibungsloses Spielvergnügen zu liefern.

Das Patch-Log des Crown-Updates im Überblick:

Battle

• Added actions inspired by the “Omen” trailer produced by Digic Pictures to the game:
  • “Shift (Warp) Drop Kick” (When daggers are equipped).
  • “Backward Shift (Warp) Magic” (Elemental Magic Activation within a short distance).
• Below are examples of Wait Mode-exclusive abilities added to Ability Call to improve the Wait Mode experience:
  • Libra Speed Increase: By using Libra you can obtain information more quickly.
  • Wait Gauge Recovery: The Wait Gauge will recover upon defeating an enemy.
  • Surprise Attack Shift Break: When Shift Breaking to an enemy that isn’t targeting you it’s easy to destroy the targeted part.
  • Final Blow Shift Break: When Shift Breaking to an enemy with less than half HP, the damage multiplier will increase.
• Additional battle screen effects added to make it easier for players to understand their HP status:
  • When HP is less than 25%, the whole screen will be covered by a light red filter.
  • When in a pinch, the whole screen will be covered by a dark red filter.
  • The Enemy Whistle will be available to use after downloading the patch. You can call monsters but they won’t always appear.
