so i just finished FFVII Remake, and even though i enjoyed it, it kinda bummed me out how linear it was. and then i remembered like wait a minute, i still have FFXV with its massive open world in my backlog and i actually liked what i played of it years ago (some other game came up and i just never went back), so i installed it overnight and booted it up..
and umm what the HELL am i doing lol? i don't understand anything about the game anymore, it feels so intimidating. i did the combat tutorial, so i think i got the basics down at least, but i have problems with the other aspects of the game. for starters, i'm on a main mission in Chapter 3 where i'm supposed to go to Lestallum to meet Iris or whatever, can anyone who remembers the story tell me why, and what i've done up to this point? it's hard to care because i just simply have no recollection. but i want to get into it, so if someone could recap the beginning up to this point i'd be really grateful!
and other things, what side missions should i focus on? i have like 10 open.. should i just ignore most of them and focus on the hunts (and fishing maybe?) and main missions if i want to beat this game in a reasonable time?
where should i use my EXP to level up at this point, iirc i shouldn't just level up at a camp, i need to go to a hotel or something for a better multiplyer, right? whats the easiest place to access in Chapter 3? i got like 20k of EXP to cash in on, don't wanna waste the bonus.
and how the fuuuck do i fast travel properly? i try to pick parking spots and stuff on the map but i can't see any option to fast travel, the map itself is way too confusing. any tips appreciated on how exactly i should travel from place to place (chocobos seem fun), i try to drive myself but then suddenly it's night and some lvl 40 giants rise out of the ground every 2 minutes and fuck my boys up bad.
and hmm what else... all these items i find are super confusing, i dont know what to do with any of them. i picked up a Rare Coin for example, do i just sell that or...? do i sell most random stuff? what should i hoard?
thanks for any help! i really do quite enjoy this game even with some of the jank and confusing systems and silly characters. it's very ambitious and weird and fun, and i waited such a long time for it like many of us (what was it, like a decade lol?). i gotta see this to the end while waiting for my turn to get that damn PS5.
oh and please give any tips about things i didn't ask about freely, i might be completely oblivious to many cool/useful things you can do.
