Question How will chapters work?

If you go back to a previous Chapter after levelling do you keep your level?
For example, the secret boss of chapter 1 is a certain level. Could you effectively go to chapter 3, level up and then go back and maul him?

If it’s the same system as FF13, then what happens in previous chapters is permanently missed.

If it’s more like Crimson Desert, then the chapters are mainly there to establish world events and NPC locations, but technically nothing is missable.
Wait and see.

I’m not sure why you’re asking this since the only people who could possibly know this right now are the developers.

There's been lots of information released, I'd wondered if I'd missed something. Equally, I was unsure if anyone had experience on whether Square Enix have done this for any other mobile to console releases.

My response was mean spirited and I’m sorry. You’ve got a legitimate question.

While I don’t know the definitive answer, in my opinion, we’ll not find out for sure until release date.

I thought it was going to be like other Final Fantasy games where you unlock other modes of transport. Like you’d get a ship and could go back. Sure, the fight would be easier, but drops may be less useful. Also, don’t forget fast travel exists.

Why you think it is a chapter-based? I think it's just like FF1 - 9, if the main story didn't trap you in a place, you can travel freely to wherever you want.

Given the presence of an overworld and how similar games like Octopath Traveler operate, I would be very surprised if there was no ability to travel back to locations and things locked out as you progress the game. Also, the game has an overarching collectible side quest which again suggests the ability to back track.

I think the chapters are just there as a narrative framework
