Update 2! Final Fantasy XV Challenge Menu Screencaps, Missing Items, & Other Details
WOI is back with a bit more information about the Final Fantasy XV Stadia version, including the new Crazy Challenge content and missing items. What the heck is the Final Fantasy XV Stadia version? What was in our first update? Read about the Stadia version and the initial update.
The picture above is the new loading screen after initially launching the game, before the âA Final Fantasy for Fans and First-Timers.â Itâs a modified version of the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary event description for Final Fantasy XV, with the last paragraph referencing the 100 years of peace in Insomnia:
To the east, there stood Lucisâa sanctified kingdom, blessed with the divine Crystal and sacred ring. To the west, there rose Niflheimâan imperial war-machine driven by superior technology and the arcane might of magitek. For long, the two have been at war.
More than a century has passed since Lucis raised a magical wall to stanch the empireâs march toward the Crown City of Insomnia. In time, those behind the Wall came to know peace and leisure, having all but forgotten the horrors of war.
The [Challenge] option in the [Title Menu] brings up a list of eight options under âCrazy Challenge.â
The first two are [Challenge Rally (Short)] and [Challenge Rally (Long)]. The player must âHead for the finish line while passing checkpoints in the Regalia Type-D.â As stated in our initial Stadia post, these seem to be more Regalia Type-D races like those included in the Royal Pack.
The third and fourth options are [Magna-Flight (Short)] and [Magna-Flight (Long)]. The player must âCollect as many items as you can in the Regalia Type-F and head to the marked destination.â Notice, Square Enix erroneously did not stylize âType-Fâ as they do the Type-D (âTYPE-Dâ).
Based on the images and what weâve seen previously, the player must use the gravity well to collect âjunkâ while dodging enemies and haul it to a marked location without crashing or destroying the Regalia.
The fifth and sixth options are [Endless MA (Easy)] and [Endless MA (Hard)]. âMAâ is the shortened version of Magitek Armor. The player must âTake down as many of the endless spawning enemies as possible.â
Endless MA is similar to the old Ranked Timed Quests where you were scored on how many enemies you could kill in a few minutes and the Daily Quest in Comrades. Based on the images and trailer footage, the player will be equipped with the Magitek Exosuit.
Finally, the seventh and eight options are [Expert Duel (Easy)] and [Expert Duel (Hard)]. The player must âDefeat the enemies at Level 1.
Based on the images, Expert Duels are similar to Bonus (INGEM) Quests from Comrades, but the player is at Level 1. In the Easy version, Noctis is equipped with Ragnarok and the Royal Raiment. In the Hard version, Noctis is equipped with the Kingly Raiment. The Expert Duels are, at the very least, against Deathgaze, include a time limit, and possibly status effects cast on Noctis.
Finally, the Stadia version does come with the bonus items that were included with the Royal Edition, such as the Platinum Leviathan skin, Ragnarok, and the Choco-Mog Tee.
However, the Stadia version does not come with the Master Assassinâs Robes for Noctis that were included in the final content update for consoles and the Windows Edition and the Kingâs Knight Tee that was offered as DLC for consoles.
Furthermore, it seems all crossover content is missing. For example, the Terra Battle and Kingâs Knight Sticker Set body decals are missing.
Weâre now suspicious if all crossover content is missing, including the FFXIV and Terra Wars quests, Tomb Raider collaboration items and photobombs, and music from other franchises.
Once again, weâll keep everyone posted as we receive more information, especially about details about the crossovers and Crazy Challenge.
