It sounds like for a lot of games yes, for some games no, and you might not know if FFXV works until after you've already pushed on up to firmware 5.50 which cannot be undone. Also, you could only use other people's saves. If Save Wizard has cheats available for FFXV, you could not apply those cheats to any saves made on your PS4 after you go 5.50. So if you wanted max gil or max skill points or something (if those cheats exist), it might be best to first fire up the game, make a save, use SW to make whatever crazy stuff you want, maybe also download whatever saves you want from other people and then start FFXV and load those saves just to make sure the game uses them as yours, THEN upgrade your firmware. I'm guessing to play online.
Again, no idea if FFXV will accept a 5.05 save once you're on 5.50. At least some games will not. Not sure why or what the full list is. It's hit or miss. But FFXV Comrades is not awful.
