Get a grip on Final Fantasy XV's combat and movement! This guide breaks down Type A, B, and C control schemes for PS4 and Xbox One, so you can master every action.

Alright, let's get you squared away with how to actually *play* Final Fantasy XV. You've got a few different control schemes to choose from, called Type A, Type B, and Type C. Each one maps the same actions to different buttons, so you can pick what feels most natural to you. We'll break down what each one does so you can jump right into the action.

Think of these tables as your cheat sheet. You'll want to get familiar with these button layouts pretty quickly, especially for combat and getting around.

Type A Controls

This is likely the default setup you'll start with. It feels pretty standard for action RPGs.

Action	PS4	Xbox One
Attack/Sprint (hold)	Circle	B
Phase (hold)/Roll-dodge	Square	X
Warp	Triangle	Y
Jump	X	A
Techniques	L1	LB
Tactical/Chocobo	R2	RT
Map	R3	Push in right stick
Summon	L2	LT
Auto-Sprint	L3	Push in left stick
Lock-on	R1	RB

Type B Controls

Type B shakes things up a bit, moving some core actions around. If Type A doesn't feel right, give this one a shot.

Action	PS4	Xbox One
Attack/Sprint (hold)	Square	X
Phase (hold)/Roll-dodge	L1	LB
Warp	Circle	B
Jump	X	A
Techniques	R2	RT
Tactical/Chocobo	Triangle	Y
Map	R3	Push in right stick
Summon	L2	LT
Auto-Sprint	L3	Push in left stick
Lock-on	R1	RB

Type C Controls

Type C is pretty different, especially if you're used to other games. It puts a lot of the main combat actions on the triggers.

Action	PS4	Xbox One
Attack/Sprint (hold)	R2	RT
Phase (hold)/Roll-dodge	L2	LT
Warp	Triangle	Y
Jump	X	A
Techniques	Circle	B
Tactical/Chocobo	Square	X
Map	R1	RB
Summon	R3	Push in right stick
Auto-Sprint	L3	Push in left stick
Lock-on	L1	LB

Take some time to experiment with these. What feels best for you is the most important thing, as you'll be using these buttons constantly!
