Final Fantasy XV's July update includes Magitek Exosuits and new Cross Chain system
Square Enix has released the free July update for Final Fantasy XV, which features a set of exosuits for the cast to equip. These suits were originally planned to release in a Booster Pack update early last Spring, but were delayed likely due to their initial resemblance to Super Sentai. You can see the new look in the gallery below. These suits offer a 30 minute period of invincibility for the party.
There is also a new Cross Chain system for combat, which seems to allow the player to chain together linked attacks with other members of the party. A new quest is also available.
Finally, for those who missed the Moogle Chocobo carnival early in the year, here's a second chance to check out some silly festivities.
In addition to these free updates, starting on August 2 players with the Season Pass can also access the closed beta for the game's upcoming multiplayer mode.
Find the details and screenshots for the July Update below.
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
