Dont understand how to play main missions

[Smirkel]

How do I play the main story? I dont want to do any side content. Are region strikes essential? I heard all the lettered missions are just side missions for upgrades. How do I play the main story? Wtf is wrong with this game. the UI is also complete trash

[prizim]

use the keyboard for the menus. how can you not find the main missions? maybe its not the game.

how do you secure regions

[Jouchebag]

You have Squads which is the number next to the icon in the map and those basically buy your regions. To get more Squads, you either level up your Chaos or take regions with a +Squad rating (surrounded regions can be taken AND earn Squads).

I agree that there's a serious lack of direction towards the end goal and I believe that's intentional. The game is meant to be played in a "do what I want, when I want" style that doesn't gain anything by rushing to the finish.

Its an utter mess the way they designed it but here is the easy way.

1. Look on the map for the big triangle icons. These are the main missions
2. Do these missions
3. When you complete them you will see a message "squads ready to advance, open map"
4. Open your map, pan the crosshair to the crossed rifles icon in blue and advance

...rinse and repeat after every main mission.

This is how you liberate areas in JC4 by these stupid squad advances. They did away with blowing stuff up = progress.

I like the frontline concept in JC4, but it just feels like taking a sector is too easy.

Do a triangle mission. Call squad forward. Sector seized.

It gets pretty boring after the first few sectors, especially since the missions are EXACTLY the same.

I could care less about the challenges.
