Final Fantasy XV Mod Lets You Listen To Your Own Music In-Game

Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition launched earlier this month to the delight of fans looking to alter the vanilla experience with mods. The sky tends to be the limit as far as how ridiculous any given Final Fantasy XV mod can get, though some, like the Radio Tuner mod, can give FFXV just a bit more flavor while keeping the soul of the game intact.

Created by modder ‘Lulech23’ and available over on Nexus mods, Radio Tuner allows users to replace the Regalia’s music library with their own music. As much as listening to “Calling For Rain” on repeat is awesome while driving around Eos, even a song as epic as that one can start to get a little old. That’s where Radio Tuner comes in, which will help users listen to the built-in tunes outside the game, export them to their own MP3s, or add their own music in to either replace or simply add on to the existing tracks. Here are the full instructions on how to use the mod:

Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition Mod – Radio Tuner

Setup

Simply download and extract the contents of the .zip file anywhere on your hard drive. No installation is required.

What’s New

  • Improved procedural header detection accuracy
  • Added experimental support for *.mab and OGG-based *.sab/*.mab files (not guaranteed to work in-game)
  • Added support for unicode filenames
  • Improved export audio quality

Known Issues

  • Not all *.sab/*.mab files are compatible with Radio Tuner. You may receive error messages from the application itself or in-game audio may fail to play as expected. Use at your own risk!
  • In-game audio length is limited to the length of the track being replaced. If the replacement track is longer, it will be cut off.

How-to:

1. Unlock Music

Important! Before you can actually listen to any modified tracks, you must have unlocked them in-game. This can be achieved at many gas stations and other vendors throughout Eos who offer music albums for a small fee.

2. Import

Run FFXV Radio Tuner and wait for the application to load. Once it’s ready, import a *.sab file from your Final Fantasy XV’s …\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\sound\resources\20000music\jp\ folder. This is where the Regalia’s music is stored (as opposed to regular game soundtrack).

Once the file has been imported, you can listen to it directly within Radio Tuner. Click the Play button on the left to begin, and click anywhere in the center status box to adjust volume.

3. Export (Optional)

Radio Tuner features the ability to export FFXV audio to a variety of more common formats, such as MP3, OGG, and WAV. Find a tune you really like? Add it to playlists of your own!

4. Replace

To add your own music to Final Fantasy XV, you’ll need to replace a built-in track. Once you’ve imported a track you have unlocked in the game, click Replace and navigate to the audio file you’d like to replace the in-game track with. Input audio files can be virtually any format, including MP3.

Once a file has been selected, a backup of the original will be made (with the extension *.orig) and your track will be converted to FFXV format in its place. To verify everything worked correctly, import the file again and have a listen!

Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition is now available for PC, and Final Fantasy XV is available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
