The Regalia, for those who don’t know, is a crucial part ofFinal Fantasy 15.Noctis and crew wouldn’t have gotten very far without it, as it’s the predominant mode of transportation – a chocobo can only take players so far.

Most recently, the Regalia was given the ability to go off-road through a modification that turns it into a monster truck.
