If you think Final Fantasy XV is just about exploring and annihilating your enemy, think again. In order to successfully finish it, you have to understand how the exploration works in its open world.

One of the first thing to remember when exploring the FFXV world is that saving time in exploration will do you good. You also need to remember that no matter where you go, you always go back to the Regalia and there are many ways how to do that.

One of the fastest way to go back to the Regalia is by teleporting; therefore, it is best to leave your car in a place near a required mission location. After that, you are free to explore the open map in any way you like it. The reason for this strategy is that it can save time warp directly to your car but most of all, you don't have to backtrack all over again.

Other options include fast traveling to areas where you last rested or to parking lots you've discovered in the open road as you progress in your journey.

Another important tip when exploring the FFXV world is to rest. Just like in the real world, rest is essential to the FFXV characters. You can also use this time to check and buy new gears, items, and weapons. The best rest stops are big cities like Lestallum because you can find a lot in there.

Lastly, one of the most efficient way to do when exploring the FFXV world is by creating your own fast travel network. Spread your car and rested spawn points, such as campsites and inns so that you don't have to walk manually when you need to get to a specific area in the map during quests.
