Wasn't expecting id need to wait for shaders to compile.

What are some things you wish you knew before? Or things that you found out that would be helpful.

The mini game is unlocked by a npc before the harbor inn.

Not really a tip,but play in Universe mode,or else everything die so fast

here's my tips:

1. Focus on expanding the search range for DUMA's passive.
   
2. Remember you have to equip passive abilities (forgot about this one a lot even in the PS5 demo).
   
3. Focus on unlocking the passives you want: XP bonus from Laeticia , HP regen at standard intervials for everyone, make it rain for extra fol from Albaird. If you go and stick with the XP bonus unlock DEF and Guts nodes for Laeticia to offset the negative bonuses. Or just play as her to keep her alive.
   
4. Items stack to 20 anything over that gets sold for Fol if you are in battle, but not via chests or green nodes on the grown, so you have to use some to loot some chests if you are looking to 100% the game and loot every chest.
   
5. Practice blindsiding enemies as much and as often as you can, it can turn the tide of battle. Once you have your passives unlocked and possibly leveled up; start looking at stat bonuses or nodes that provide a new attack / ability.
   
6. 2nd boss is your first real challenge so decide how you want your characters to be because there IS NO RESPEC OPTION!!
   
7. DUMA Points (DP) that show up when exploring, appear to respawn after a bit of time. So it's easy to farm those if you have time to kill to get some of their abilities or skills to rank 4.

Sorry for the wall of text, but this is what I went with and the game is a breeze for me, 2nd boss was challenging but still fun.

I thought I was going crazy but those DP points actually spawn? Everytime I backtrack I was like "how did I miss this?"

[Selphares]

had the exact same confuseing feeling. Feels at least some do or the map size play tricks on me.

1. If you cant find the waypoint map (for teleporting between areas), press the map key again after you are on the map interface.

2. Vendors have a third tab (in addition to buy/sell) where you can give collect items for them for a reward. Sometimes it will add new items to their shop.

3. You want to spend DUMA points on the perfect dodge ability as early priority so you get a ton of gauge back which will make boss fights a lot smoother.

4. Passive skill for Nina to get + max action points on perfect dodge

Its because the maps are very large and there are a lot of trees, rocks etc in the way.
+ small camera view, with the camera being fairly close to the character.
Its very easy to miss a few. Thats true for chests as well.
