Interactive world that isn’t bland

This open world is 100x better than 15. The first two open world grasslands and Junon are the biggest. You can bee line the main story if you want but imo it’s a mistake there’s about 6-7 activity types no including 1 offs and if you do all 6 combat encounters with rare enemies the zone boss will be able to be challenged and they’re usually very ruff for your level. You can call your choco anywhere if you wish and there amazing mini games left and right. Many of the non all combat events make attempts to tie into the games lore which I appreciate and can level up the various vr summons. Each one you find can lower their difficulty to best and any summon you have to beat in vr can level 1/5 stars by doing these. Yeah there’s some open world stuff liken towers.

There is crafting but imo it’s actually very good. What you can craft is determined by level and new levels open up new things with more complex options. You don’t have to go into weapon spheres and pick upgrades anymore way more streamlined.

You get a lot of matateria (good stuff) from doing vr missions for chadley. To unlock them you need to do that combat challenges and the ones before them though.

Pro tip don’t go out and buy like 4 of each spell each characters tutorial vr gives at least a 2 star element or something worth it including an mp up which they’re far more stingy on here
