Final Fantasy XV: 10 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know
2. Talk To Everyone, Listen To Everyone
Final Fantasy XV begins in the midst of a rather delicate ceasefire, as independent Insomnia and encroaching empire Niflheim seek to sign a peace treaty. Unless you have seen the aforementioned movie spin-off, Kingsglaive, which takes place in parallel with the opening chapter of the game, it can be a little confusing what is going on and who is who.
Talking to the characters around you is not only a great way to get to know the characters and Noctis, learning about their likes and dislikes, and why they are who they are. It is also the best way of getting information about the world around you.
Radio announcements will keep you updated with characters far away from Noctis and his team. A bored family at a seaside pier will repeat rumours of why the military have closed the shipping lanes. Gossiping NPCs in restaurants will describe the political positions of kings and empires.
