Biggie Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 56 minutes ago, best3444 said: Is the stories in the side quests worth it though? I don't need to level up etc if that's all there worth. Not sure how much worth it to you they would be. I just want everything to make my team strong and it bothers me to leave an area with things left unfinished. If you do all of Chadley’s battle simulator stuff you get some nice weapon experience and materia. The quest mostly reward with Gil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I do another playthrough I will do them. My team is level 24 but playing on easy there really isn't much insensitive to do side quests if the stories aren't interesting.

You find the Remnawave Towers and unlock them which show new points of interest on the map and give XP to your party. Find the Intel Life Springs. Like 6 side quests. Find the Moogle hideout and do that quest. It’s so cute and it allows you to start buying stuff with your Moogle Medals. Lots of other points of interest that unlock intel for Chadley that opens up more Battles for the simulator. Tons of stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Finally finished up the entire Grass Land region along with everything in Kalm. Now I’m moving into chapter 3 and heading into the Spoiler Mythril Mine I am 16 hours and 9 minutes in @best3444 Everyone is sooo close to being Level 23. It won’t take long and they’ll be there.

It is definitely a JRPG with some western influences. It's one of the better games I've played in recent memory. Yea I complained about the mini games but it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not that good and I'm playing on normal so I wanted every ounce of XP, every Materia type, and weapon style. So I'm doing everything. and Oh My God Spoiler defeating that last little kid in Queens Blood took me like 20 times. Their deck had several really good cards and I would get so close and then they would play one of those cards and I would lose by 2 or 3. Finally beat that little brat before bed. It was the last thing I needed for the entire region. Also I get what you are saying by "I'm playing the right way" but play it the way you want and have fun who cares.

legend Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 @best3444 I've only completed the first part of Costa del Sol, but thought I'd let you know that you don't actually have to do all the mini games. On the boat ride over, you don't have to play in the tournament (you can forfeit immediately), to get to the beach you only need to play one mini game as Cloud, and for Tifa/Aerith, you can get the tickets by doing non-mini game activities once for each. I don't think you need to do the Red soccer at all. So you may have put yourself through more pain than you needed. That said, I did them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get Tifa and Aeith to the beach without doing the mini games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I'm taking my time and enjoying the ride. I just cleared the grasslands, and am now working through the Junon region. I didn't get as much time with the game as I wanted due to the new puppy in the house, but so far the game is really great! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Just left Kalm, now doing the grasslands region. It’s basically “what if FFXV was fun!” I’m enjoying it but I’m noticing weird light things occasionally and when I google it I’m getting technical questions and not “why am I occasionally see lights that look like they’re guiding me somewhere” or “random puffs of green lights coming from the ground”.

Yes, I see these green lights to and I'm not exactly sure what activates them but it's kinda random but when I follow them they lead me to a good spot.

How do I get Tifa and Aeith to the beach without doing the mini games? For Cloud you only have to do the shooting game, or the puzzle based card game (which is easy since it's turn based, with few moves, and you can look up the answers easily). With Tifa you can just collect some of the scooters and for Areith you can just snap some pictures of cactature (or whatever they're called). You don't need to do the paino, nor red soccer. (I think there is also one more but I'm forgetting now) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It's kind of imperative that if you don't at least do the Chadley stuff, to at least do the side quests on the notice boards per city. With each side quest the game pairs you with one other specific party member (doesn't have to be someone in your combat party) and you'll get dialogue from the other party member while you do the side quest and upon completion your relationship with that party member will deepen, helping your synergy abilities, etc. in combat. So you do get story stuff and gameplay benefits from at least doing the story side quests. I mean, the one involving Broden (the innkeeper in Kalm) is a pretty direct side quest tie-in to a main plot point in the game. I do all the Chadley stuff too as it unlocks, but that's less involved than the notice board side quests. I just did a bunch of stuff in Junon and finished everything in Kalm and the grasslands. Gonna continue finishing Junon stuff. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
