📋 About This Mod
Rinual's World Map
This is a manual / old-school version of this mod. Flagrum mods and Curseforge are the current home for all modern Final Fantasy mods, however it was requested to make a manual installation version for those who cant run Flagrum.
Update 10/11/2024
-
[] Adding Niflhiem map as a manual download option was requested here instead of just for Flagrum.
[
] This has been added under optional files instead of an update to the main file[] Only the No Fog of War version was added for the new Niflhiem optional version.
This is a no upscale 16k resolution world map. The game's mini-map tiles are 1k squares, giving a much more detailed close up of the environment than the world map. This mod utilizes those tiles, downscaling them to fit the maximum resolution the game will handle and redraws all map attributes missing from the mini-map such as names and roads. This changes both the regular and masked versions of the world map allowing for the maximum resolution version of both versions of the world map. The mod also features a new compass rose to replace the generic one that launches with the game.
16,384 x 10,012 - Maximum map resolution the game / engine will handle. All roads, trails and paths have been redrawn by hand.
Fully uncompressed, the map would be closer to 35k
I've also replaced the map to Altissia, though the effects will be less noticeable. (10/11/2024 Included Niflhiem now as an optional download)
Three versions exist, 1) the standard map replacement, 2) a version as an optional file to remove fog of war, 3) a no-fog version that also includes the Niflhiem map.
Only one version of the mod can be installed at a time, so choose between the main file or the optional files that offer to remove the fog
(Optional version available to include Niflhiem map as well)
To install:
Extract contents of the zip to the game directory: i.e.`\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas`
accept overwrites when prompted. (if no overwrite was prompted, double check the end file went to the correct directory)
For troubleshooting file locations, only two files need to be replaced
- []\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\menu\main_map\swf\autoexternal.earc - Compas Rose
- \Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XV\datas\menu\main_map\image\autoexternal.earc - Map Files

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Crisp 16k resolution means no more blurry map textures when zooming in.
- Community-tested with 128 endorsements and over 5k downloads.
- No upscaling means true detail, not AI-smoothed mush.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 128 endorsements—might be a niche appeal for map nerds.
- Huge texture size could impact performance on lower-end rigs.
For players who spend a lot of time on the world map and want every pixel crisp. If you're a completionist or explorer who hates blurry textures, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla map or prefer gameplay-changing mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original map texture before replacing, just in case.
- If you use a mod manager, install via that to keep track of files.
- Check if your GPU can handle 16k textures—if you see stuttering, consider a lower-res alternative.
