How do the FF5 save bonus costumes works?

[Ryrykc]

I got the FF5 completed save file, but loading the game up, it said nothing about the extra costume, went into the costume didn't show up any either.

Apparently you need to have your installation of MOBW installed on the *same hard drive*, alongside MOTLE. You also need to have an active save present, possibly both on the hard drive and in the Steam save cloud.

You shouldn't need both games installed, you should just need a MOBW save file the game's save data location. I don't have MOBW installed, but I do still have my save data for it, and I got the Camera Obscura accessory in MLE.

Based the experience of another player, they couldn't get it to work until the game files were on the same hard drive. I agree, it seems strange since Windows should store the save files on a shared user folder, but that was their observations and conclusions, which may have been incorrect and mistaken, of course.

after reading this i transfered this game over to my ohter hard drive through the options menu of steam. Another question for this costume: does the game need to have a finished save file or is it enough to have one (I just finished the first mission in MOBW)?

My MOBW save is basically brand new, and it worked for me.

Just a follow-up to this discussion, I just installed MLE on my Steam Deck, where I've never once had MOBW installed or ever had MOBW save data, and I still got the Camera Obscura hat immediately unlocked in MLE.

Where can I change the costumes to See if it unlocked for me? I started the Game once before I moved it to the same hard Drive where I had MOBW

You will need to reach a save point in the game (there you can purchase items/unlocks and equip different costumes/accessories for the character you are currently controlling).
