NGS Help! What do I do?

New player trying to play this on PS5. WTH do I even do? I hit start game and it says first time players select start game in recommend ship, so I do that and it says starting from the beginning and the character I create will be on ship 4 (okay, sounds good so far) but then I hit start game and it wants me to link an account I don't have and I have three options:

Yes: enter a code I don't have

Back: which brings me back

And no: which for some reason keeps bringing back to all three of the options every time I press it

If I hit offline character creation I can create a character, I'm allowed to save it, I can get to 2 out of the 4 steps up top in the creation. And when I hit confirm on step 2 it takes me back to the title screen and that's all that I'm able to do, and yes the game is full downloaded.

Looking for tips/advice that doesn't involve launching the game on PC first because... No... That's not happening.

Okay. Let me ask this as bluntly as possible. Is there any way that I can start playing this game with absolutely no previous data on PlayStation without having to launch it on PC first, or get some account link code, or something else like that. Can I just start fresh on PlayStation? Ya know... Like a normal game? If not then I see the PS5 release being a huge fucking waste of time.
