Message: [QUOTE="Somnia, post: 41745, member: 26523"] Nah the game is honestly super linear. You just ask characters in towns about the keywords and if they know something they'll more or less tell you where to go directly (the first half or so of the game has cutscenes telling you exactly where to go too). The way that random encounters are designed in the overworld also really punishes you for straying even slightly off of the intended path since you run the risk of finding enemies far beyond your current level. The only thing that makes FF2 a slog are the dungeons due to the sections where you need to choose between 1 of 4 doors, with the others ranging from teleporting you to random places or placing you in high encounter rate rooms. Still, it isn't the end of the world and if that's all you're using a guide for then it isn't a big deal. I'd genuinely argue that FF1 and FF3 would be more confusing without a guide even though those games also just boil down to "if you're stuck, talk to everyone and eventually you'll find some guidance" [/QUOTE]
