So while the New Game Plus for version 1.03 is available now as part of a 3.5GB patch, the actual Holiday Pack content won't be available until tomorrow on December 22nd.Įven still, for gamers looking for something new to do in Final Fantasy XV after they completed the game but still weren't happy with the experience they had, the New Game Plus will at least give gamers something fresh to do for a while. The patch and the Holiday Pack have a scattered release. While I'm sure some people are frustrated that the monsters in Final Fantasy XV didn't get harder in New Game Plus, others might be happy they can experience the game in a new way by using their old gear and goods to do some things they may have missed out on due to not being high enough in level the first time around. Previously players were encouraged to hide and stay indoors to avoid being curb stomped by the daemons, but with the levels carrying over, you'll likely be able to fight them at your leisure without too many problems. Players can now stay out at night and fight some of those high-level daemons that roamed the land. I'm sure plenty of fans were hoping for tougher monsters and harder boss fights, but it's essentially just a refresh of the main game with a carryover in items, levels, weapons, and money. This will mostly be a huge disappointment to a lot of Final Fantasy XV fans who were looking forward to the New Game Plus. So you'll end up doing battle against enemies that are exactly the same as they were during your first play through. According to the article, the monster levels will stay exactly the same.




This isn't like other New Game Plus modes like in Borderlands or Dark Souls. They also mention the Ultimate Blade and Regalia will revert back to their base vanilla forms, so you'll have to go through the process again of upgrading them.Īlso, there's a pretty big caveat here: none of the enemies scale with the player.
