Yeah I did the same thing and it works. I was, however, spoiled on a lot of things so it didn’t hurt. I definitely wouldn’t recommend playing Episode Ignis at the point that it happens to complete newcomers. Gladio and Prompto work pretty seamlessly.

And no, I don’t have anyone to lend me a PS4. I’ll just wait for the eventual PC release. Plus, it’s not like a huge priority for me.
