Understanding the Walkthrough and Game Progression

The remake is structured into a Prologue plus multiple Chapters (1, 2, 3, Final). Main and side quests are intertwined. The Bracer Points system gives additional rewards for bonus objectives and dialogue choices, some visible and others hidden. The map system uses markers such as green “!” or blue “!” to show side quests or hidden content, so keep an eye on them. Treasure chests may be missable, so careful exploration is rewarded.

Prologue and Chapter 1: Step-by-Step Guide

Prologue (Rolent region)

Early training missions introduce controls and basic combat.
Side quests like Child Rescue, Perzel Pest Control, Streetlight Switch, and Mayoral Robbery Investigation offer early BP rewards. Correct dialogue or stealth can increase BP.
Explore Rolent thoroughly, talk to NPCs, check the bulletin board for quests, and pick up useful items.

Chapter 1 (Bose Region)

The main story focuses on investigating the Missing Airliner and the South Block Burglary in Bose.
Accept all side quests in Bose. These include Bear Claw Survey, Ingredient Seeker, Stolen Ring, and East Bose Monster.
Some treasure chests hide in routes off the main path. Do not rush through.
Key items gathered here, such as quartz and equipment, help make later battles smoother.

Mid-Chapters (Chapters 2-3): Major Quests and Exploration

Chapter 2 (Ruan province): missions tied to the festival, orphanage, and investigation of prototypes. Expect longer side quests and multiple hidden markers.
Chapter 3 (Zeiss): more complex missions, including factory incidents, product testing, and multiple paths in some quests. NPC dialogue becomes richer and some quests tie into story events.
Treasure and secrets: With more regions comes more unexplored areas. Revisit maps or use fast travel if available to pick up missed content.

Final Chapter and Endgame Missions

The narrative culminates in Grancel. Main story quests drive toward major revelations and the climax.
Final side quests and optional content unlock after the main story or toward the very end. Do not lose track of missable quests that trigger just before final missions.
For maximum completion and to achieve Rank 1 Bracer, some dialogue choices must be selected carefully in these later quests.

Bracer Points (BP) and Quest Rewards Strategy

What is BP? Bracer Points are earned through both main and side quests, but also through bonus dialogue choices or hidden objectives. To reach Rank 1 Bracer, players need around 350 BP, though total obtainable is slightly higher.
Dialogue and Decision Tips: Many decisions are marked with (BP) in red when they affect bonus points. Save the game before making big story decisions if you care about BP.
Best Quests for Rewards: Choose side quests that appear early and those with BP bonus. Hidden quests often have good rewards. Revisit earlier areas to collect missed treasure.

Exploration, Treasure and Hidden Secrets

Treasure chests: Some are in obvious spots; others are off the beaten path or behind optional NPCs. Prologue and Chapter 1 contain several missable chests, so explore carefully.
Map markers: Green and blue exclamation markers often indicate hidden or side quests. Regularly check your map for anything you have not completed. Hidden quest markers are now easier to spot compared to older versions.
Rare items and quartz: Early quartz upgrades, accessories from side quests, or BP rewards can make a big difference. Do not sell rare components by mistake. Some boss fights or subquests require specific items.

Tips for Efficient Progress

Balance main and side content. If you want smoother leveling and better items, complete side quests as you travel instead of leaving them for later.
Save often, especially before big decisions or boss fights. Replay from a save if you select the wrong dialogue choice.
Manage party and gear by equipping quartz and accessories suited for upcoming battles.
Use map markers to guide your path and reveal hidden content to reduce unnecessary wandering.
Backtrack when possible. Some quests or treasures become easier once you gain more mobility or equipment.
