Unlocking the Fun: How to Equip Holiday+ Items in Final Fantasy XV Like a Pro

Hello everyone, I am your dedicated public holiday assistant. Recently, a little friend consulted me about how to equip the holiday+ items in Final Fantasy XV. Now I will summarize the relevant problems, hoping to help the little friends who want to know.

So, you’re diving into Final Fantasy XV and you’ve got your hands on the Holiday+ items from the Holiday Pack DLC? Awesome! These items are all about adding some extra flair and convenience to your journey through Eos. But if you’re scratching your head wondering how to actually equip them, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to get those holiday-themed goodies onto your characters so you can enjoy that festive vibe while slaying monsters and driving around in the Regalia.

First things first, let’s talk about what the Holiday+ items are. They include exclusive outfits, accessories, and even some in-game items that give you bonuses like increased EXP or Gil. Think of them as a little gift from the developers to make your adventure more enjoyable. But to use them, you need to know where they are and how to equip them. Once you’ve installed the Holiday Pack—often available as free DLC from the in-game store or your platform’s market—the items will appear in your inventory. But they don’t equip automatically; you’ll need to do that manually.

Navigating the menus in FFXV can be a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Fire up the game and pause it by pressing the menu button. From there, head to the “Gear” or “Equipment” section. This is where you’ll see all your characters and their current gear. Select the character you want to equip the item on, like Noctis, Prompto, Ignis, or Gladiolus. Then, browse through the available slots for weapons, accessories, or costumes. The Holiday+ items will be listed separately, often with a special icon or name that says “Holiday” or something similar.

For outfits, go to the “Attire” section. You can change their looks to holiday-themed costumes like the “Holiday Garb” or “Mascot Costumes.” These aren’t just for show—they often have stat boosts or special effects. For accessories, you might find items like “Moogle Charm” or “Holiday Egg” that increase EXP or Gil gain. Equip them in the accessory slots, and you’ll start seeing the benefits right away. Remember, costumes affect your appearance in cutscenes too, so equip them before triggering story events if you want that festive look.

Now, I know some of you might be wondering about specific items. For example, the “Holiday+ Items” from the Assassin’s Festival or other events? Well, the process is the same. If you have the DLC, the items should be in your inventory under “Key Items” or “Useful Items.” But key items are often quest-related, so you might need to use them from the main menu during specific moments. For equipping, stick to the Gear menu for outfits and accessories. If you can’t find the items, try checking your Downloadable Content history or restarting the game—sometimes items don’t show up immediately.

Another common question is about the “Holiday Pack” itself. Does it give you everything? Yep, the Holiday Pack typically includes all the holiday-themed items released up to that point. But if you’re missing something, double-check that you’ve downloaded the latest version. And don’t forget—some items might be only available for a limited time through events or codes, so stay updated on the FFXV community forums or official channels. For instance, the “Moogle Amulet” can increase item drop rates from enemies, making it a game-changer for grinding.

Let’s talk about the practical side. Once
