Unlocking Fast Travel

Because it is such astaple in theTalesseries, Fast Travel will be unlocked through the main story mode inTales of Arise. Players only need to complete the Main Quests until they are assigned the mission Battle Preparations. In addition, Shionne will also get a new outfit.

The quest will need 100% completion before players gain access to Fast Travel.Unlike some previousTalesgames, Fast Travel is unlocked relatively early, at about 3-4 hours into the game with sidequests.

Using Fast Travel

The act of Fast Travel is easier than the process to unlock it. Initiating Fast Travel requires opening the map with the X button (Xbox) or the Square button (PlayStation) and selecting any of the green dots/markers on the map. These locations must be unlocked first, with the exceptions of areas that have been uncovered prior to the Battle Preparations mission. As the story progressesandTales of Arise’s characters grow stronger, there may be times where Fast Travel becomes unavailable due to plot-important events. If an area has been explored but cannot be Fast Traveled to (i.e: no green dot), then continue exploring that area until an event occurs, such as a cutscene or an encounter.
