Final Fantasy 15 will take hours to download depending on your connection and wifi speed. Take the time to catch up on Westworld, play Pokémon Sun and Moon or do your homework since it is a school night after all.
Unfortunately, the download sizes for Final Fantasy 15 require a lot of space on your hard drive. Make sure you clear about 58.82GB if you have an Xbox One or 47.5GB for your PS4; that’s including space for the 7 GB Day One Patch for the game.
So the grand total for the download time? Anywhere from two to four hours depending on your connection. Don’t download the game via your wifi; this will only increase your download time. Connect your console to your modem with an ethernet cable if possible. In fact, leaving your console alone while it installs is probably your best bet.
As for the Day One Patch, here’s the full list of everything added in the 7GB update according to Square Enix official notes (translated by Nova Crystallis ):
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.
