Quick answer
Key takeaways
- Multiplayer is easier to understand when you separate the social group from quest eligibility. Sessions and Link Parties help players gather, while story progress, quest availability, and selected settings determine what the group can actually join.
- Create or join a session, then use a Link Party when you want a consistent group of friends. This makes invites and shared play easier to manage.
- Do not assume every story scene permits immediate co-op. Progress conditions can affect when others can join.
Online & performance
Multiplayer is easier to understand when you separate the social group from quest eligibility. Sessions and Link Parties help players gather, while story progress, quest availability, and selected settings determine what the group can actually join.
The best way to approach it
Create or join a session, then use a Link Party when you want a consistent group of friends. This makes invites and shared play easier to manage.
Check story progress before planning a campaign session. Players may need to reach compatible points before they can participate in the same story activity.
Use ordinary hunts first to confirm communication, connection, and loadouts. Then move into harder quests after the group has a stable rhythm.
A mistake to avoid
Do not assume every story scene permits immediate co-op. Progress conditions can affect when others can join.
FAQ
Can I play the full game with friends?
You can hunt cooperatively, but story progression and quest availability can require each player to complete certain steps.
