Free Final Fantasy XV Update Adds Exo-Suits, Chocobo Carnival Returns

Summer in Eos has arrived at last, as the new July update for FINAL FANTASY XV is available as a free download, introducing Magitek Exosuits for each member of Noctis’ crew, a new quest and more to the critically-acclaimed RPG.

This month’s update introduces:

• New Magitek Exosuits – granting 30 minutes of invincibility per day for Noctis, Gladio, Prompto and Ignis to help players take on the dangerous creatures of Eos. Once invincibility has worn off, players can continue to wear the exosuits in-game.

• A new quest, “O Partner, My Partner” – can be accepted from the Meldacio Hunter HQ after the player has completed Chapter 8.

• A new “Cross Chain” collaboration system – allows players to severely damage strong, defensive enemies by increasing the number of linked attacks. The Cross Chain system is available once players acquire the two Royal Arms: the Sword of the Wise and Axe of the Conqueror.

• Return of the beloved Moogle Chocobo Carnival – from July 31 to late September, players of all levels can once again journey to Altissia for limited-time-only mini-games, Chocobo water races and special Moogle Chocobo menu items at the Square Enix Café.

In order to participate in the Moogle Chocobo Carnival, players must own the FFXV Holiday Pack +, included in the FINAL FANTASY XV Season Pass and Digital Premium Edition, or the FFXV Holiday Pack (Free Version).

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
