Spoiler question regarding the second half of the game and fast travel

[Fenrir]

Alright, I'm about to take off for Lenegis. Am I going to be able to fast travel to previous locations when I leave or is this a one way trip until NG+? Just figured I'd ask since I still have a couple of things I can try to do here, but require some grinding first.

You can always go back aside from specific story moments that turn off fast travel. It works exactly the same as it has in the rest of the game and it stays that way until the end.

Yeah, I already know about that, but that 'specific story moment' is what I was worried about. I thought they might lock out fast travel once I leave, so I wasn't sure if it would unlock at some point before or AFTER I beat the game.

I understand, when I got there I had the same worry so I made a separate save before leaving. I maybe could've worded it better, what I meant was that there are just moments where fast travel is disabled, it's never a significant amount of time. No longer than anywhere else in the game, at least. From Lenegis to the end of the game is quite long, about as much as two Lord chapters, maybe more.

I thought about creating a new save, yeah, lol. Also, fast travel was locked for a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG time when you first reach the second half of the game (after the final lord battle or whatever). I couldn't fast travel again for over 5 hours or so because I had to clear all of that story content first to "unlock" it again, so that's kinda why I was a little worried.

Either way, I still have some fish to catch and owls to find, so at least I know I can fast travel when reaching Lenegis and whatnot, lol.

Ah yeah, I forgot how long the part right after the 5th lord takes lol. Don't worry, there's nothing nearly that long again from what I've seen and I'm in the middle of the final dungeon now. You will get locked down a couple more times, for maybe an hour each at most I wanna say.

Adding to what's been said, OP:

The game will also give you a very clear warning before the only true Point of No Return, so you're pretty much free to do stuff in whichever order you want.

As a special pro-tip:
In the very final dungeon, you will go a long time between unlocking the next Fast Travel location, and you might really want one to go back and craft better weapons from the mats that are dropping there.

So even though it takes quite a while, you will get two Fast Travel points before hitting the Point of No Return, which will both allow you to immedately port out and back again without having to backtrack a step.
