Between the towns, mountains and fields there's plenty to see, but not much to do: there are no enemies to fight, no quests to take on and no Chocobo to ride. From there, a few careful jumps can land the player outside of their linear prison and into the lands Niflheim. To start, players have to be running the version of the game that came on retail discs without any updates - then they must reach a train station in a late section of the game. There's not much to do in the area, but fans are now wondering if its a hint at what's coming for the game's DLC.īreaking out of the game's linear section takes a little bit of doing. A newly discovered out-of-bounds glitch changes that, revealing a surprisingly fleshed out landscape with a frozen tundra, beaches, towns and a vast savannah. Instead of taking a road trip across a fantastic land, players in the third act can merely look out upon one. The world of Final Fantasy XV feels enormous, stretching out for miles across freeways, plains, lakes and mountains - but in the game's closing act, that open world becomes incredibly linear.
