                Nice marvel quip, bro. Bet that sounded really good in your head.

                Unless that chick's canonically over 20 feet tall this looks so fricking stupid. I'm sure it looks fine for giant ogres and dragons and all but holy frick this is laughably bad under the assumption you're fighting someone of about the player's height. Why not just have them fight another sprite that looks like the players?

                No, you just base the quality of games off their looks.
                It's meant to look retro. And it looks REALLY good retro.

                If the devs couldn't tell that this looked unsalvageably stupid at any point during the concept phase then I don't trust them to have filtered out any other dogshit ideas in other departments.

                I get it, she's a boss so she has to be huge. If it was an older game with an Earthbound GUI with only the enemy on screen it'd look fine, but she's not a giantess and she makes the whole fricking composition look moronic. Like they made these sprites for separate games and had to awkwardly mesh them together in a scene.

                >getting filtered over sprites
                hahaha OOOF

                It's a good sprite. It looks fricking stupid in relation to the other sprites on screen.

                I entered a thread because the fanart OP was interesting. I scrolled down and saw how stupid the gameplay looked in-game, and I remarked on it. You're assuming I came to this thread bad faith so you don't have to come up with any excuses.

                If you can't even rightfully defend your own favorite game and just resort to demanding they leave your safe space, it's probably not that good a game.

                The game is trying to evoke the spirit of SNES JRPGs. That's what SNES JRPGs did with human opponents. The reason you are being called stupid is because your complaint is on the same level as "Isn't it weird that you can just enter homes and take NPCs' potions and gold???"

                Those are monsters or at least definite non-humans, and at most they're 2x the size of the party characters. Their heights aren't set in stone. The woman in that pic is definitely just a normal human woman, so it looks fricking ridicoulous seeing her represented in the battle scene, and assumingly only in the battle scene, as ridiculously tall because you need to know she's the boss. Again, I'm sure it looks great when you're fighting huge monstrous opponents like dragons or ogres, but holy frick that they made that composition and said "this looks good" says a lot.

                It's theatrical drama, you're not supposed to think this chick is 20 feet tall, you're probably not even supposed to think that the whole party is fighting her. Narratively, a lot of the party fights are 1v1s, or very undramatic things like the fight the merchant has with a little guard dog (which is presented as a giant monster in the battle, but is obviously just a normal dog that he fought off on his own, and he probably didn't even really hurt it), or at one point it's even a pair of chicks dancing with each other in front of an audience.
                But for gameplay reasons it's a 4 dudes in a row turn-based combat encounter.

                >you're probably not even supposed to think that the whole party is fighting her. Narratively, a lot of the party fights are 1v1s
                Well that seems a little silly and very unimmersive but not something I'm knowledgeable of to argue on.

                >But for gameplay reasons it's a 4 dudes in a row turn-based combat encounter.
                Do you see what I mean in how awkward this looks? Like sprites from different games awkwardly meshed together for an awkward composition.

                Yes, I got that a long time ago. It still looks stupid with that context.

                The point is to make the boss look big and threatening, so it feels like your group are heroes fighting against the odds, rather than four thugs ganging up on a single victim.

            EX 2 unironically pretty cracked with Sealticge. You give 9 random buffs to everyone including divine skills, but I personally think that giving her mega speed and being able to move 1st in the Step Ahead turn thus reducing setup time by 1 turn is probably the most useful thing she provides and no one else can do it.

      If you have the cash Partitio literally never lets the enemy move forever. Everyone deals more than 70k damage when properly built. Castti as usual with her bullshit turn 1 party BP. Ochette and Hikari are very flexible but Ochette has a bug and her beasts are free use.

          Its not that it was broken up, its that the moonshade people didn't have the means or knowledge to make the book from D'arqest's corpse, but Harvey did, or they didn't have the means to complete the book of night, but Kaldena did as she had leads and a motive to kill the people who had the pages. It was more convenient for them to manipulate crazies into doing the hard part for them, then swooping in later and taking the results.

      you only get stat boosts from a weapon if you're actually actively "equipping" it -- if you switch to another weapon you'll instead deploy the stats for that weapon.
      this is why it's important to have at least one high elemental attack weapon on your hybrids, your magic will automatically use the weapon with the highest EAtk

          No, you are supposed to assign subjobs like Cleric to everyone and spend JP to get all the skills so you can equip their passive abilities which don't go away once you change the subjob back. You put Surpassing power and overheal on every character.

    Got a weird question about the weapon lore of Octopath in the merchant manuscripts it talks about why there are only 6 weapons available from smiths, being that it is heavily controlled due to religious connotations to the gods, and to control warfare to a lesser extent. and then i got to thinking, there are 8 "good" gods, and Alfric is magic, so does dancer not have a godly weapon, is dancer the odd one out here, as it would have to share with the thief... but the divine dagger is the DANCERS BLADE, so i am a tad confused...

          If I remember right the first game had a dagger that provided a multiplier for Fire attacks, and as the base Theif Therion could use that dagger in any class. What was probably meant to make his Fire attacks just usable ended up making Socerer’s three hit Fire attack super powerful.

          Honestly, once i got armsmaster, i didn't need any learned skill which is kinda sad... but if any player wants to grind the battle-tested weapons, get the axe attack from the guitar guy in Gravell at the entrance random 3-5 axe attack, quite strong and a lot of the holders are weak to axe for some reason...

          I tried Hikari hunter and hikari armsmaster. Both are great.

        There's plenty of extremely good skills that are worth using even after getting armsmaster, like the aoe arrow skill that hits 8 times, or Rai Mei's unique attack that hits all units once with lance and once with lightning. They're not for damage, but they're excellent for breaks and buffs.

      Yea, that was my error the first time (which DRASTICALLY makes it less useful, in my opinion...), but even then, I saw no buff. Zero.
      I'll experiment, but if you guys are telling me the tooltip is right, that's a good start.

      Its biggest use is using full HP/SP/BP jam healing items on the whole party every turn during tough bosses. Outside of that, not really useful

    With how much focus the Moon gets throughout the game, from either direct naming, references in names like Tsuki and Yomi, dungeon names, the eclipse in Ochette's story, the focus on the stars in one of the crossed paths, and just how blatantly the moon is framed in some areas like Lostseed, I was expecting the final boss to either be on the moon, or actually be the moon.

      She's good for:
      Aeber's Reckoning is BIG damage. Probably the easiest to use win button in the game. Just equip all speed gear.
      Her first EX skill renders physical attacker enemies (the majority of enemies) impotent
      Armor Corrosive (but there's tons of ways to apply def down in this game so that specific way is less useful than it was in OT1) But the big thing here is she can set herself up with her latent to apply it and then immediately Aeber's Reckoning.

      She's pretty good.

        She was amazing for me during the story. She can allure a level 10 sword npc that deal 20k damage to a shield broken boss for her without using a boost so she can use all her bp to break the shield or pass buffs. Or she can allure the level 9 one and heal hp and sp with her dances, run her as an armsmaster and then heal off all sp used on the dance attack just spamming that over and over not using sp at all. I had fun with her.

        The thing is that Inventor can do that and more. By giving her BP Boost, Step Ahead, and Full Power, you can have her start every battle by boosting twice to use arkar's coil with her latent power on the first turn. She will heal HP and SP of every character by 80% and give them 3 BP (including herself). On the first real turn, everyone will have full BP, except for her, who will have 3bp to use Sealticge's Seduction on your damage dealer, like Armsmaster to use their Axe move to wipe random encounters. Agnea becomes a one character one turn set up that frees up a skill slot from everyone else who no longer needs to equip vigorous victor to restore SP/HP.

      i usually fill her with the job that i need for fighting, whether that is hunter for leghold trapping, thief for armor corroding, scholat to advanced magics/alfrics wisdom others. Dancer IS support, but because of it you can make her work with a lot of things. Inventor can be good, gives her access to catapult aoe, Geneva convention hammer, magic bottle breaker, and much more that she can use for free in battles, while also ahving the innate dancer quirks.

    • 1 year ago

      Honestly, with subclasses, any team is good.
      You probably want a team that can break any shield. So a person who has weapons and a person with magic.

      In general, I focus a heavy melee hitter and a heavy magic user.

      First is usually Hikari or Thorne (though Ochette isn't bad either. and Partitio can do it too)
      Second is Oswald or Temenos. Agnea can do it as well

      Then I can fill in with whichever support I want. So Partitio who can give BP or make money
      Or Agnea who can boost stats
      Or Castii who can buff or debuff. She's also a powerful tank.

      Ochette is a wild card (or at least for me she was). Can be used for many things.

      I liked Temenos the most. He's the only guy whose engagement with the story actually makes sense the whole way through to the end, where the other characters really have no reason to stick around (or even join the party to begin with...) after the group helps them finish their personal quest.

      Osvald was fun, just because of his insane the antagonist was, but Osvald himself is a wet towel.

      Ochette is a dumb character with a dumb story, but it works in her favour. Because she's so pure and innocent her corny lines don't come off as corny.

      Partitio is Ochette done worse, where he bumbles around like the protagonist in a tv show for toddlers and everything just works out for him in the end for no reason.

      Castti's story was pretty meh, but her combat emotes are the best in the game so she gets high marks just for that.

      Agnea was cringe, but I liked it in spite of myself, and the final battle song was kino.

      Throne was utter grabage and would've been the worst if not for the absurdity of the twist at the end. If you actually liked it up to that point, I guess the twist would actually be a bad thing, but it made it so silly for me that I enjoyed it.

      Hikari is a walking archetype and wooden as a board, extremely boring, my least favourite by far.

          Man I regret doing Osvald, Throne, Temenos and Ochette stories first.
          Now the others all feel like boring garbage.
          Like I can't really bring myself to care about Agneas dancing or Hikaris "I fight for my friends" nonsense
          Also the path actions of the western team suck and a lot of chapters don't even have a dungeon or boss?
          It honestly feels like the game would have been better as quadropath traveler.

          Osvald made me genuinely mad. Every single time he's within reach of Harvey, he just stands there and looks at him impassively until Harvey casually strolls away. And then Osvald immediately starts seething about how he's totally gonna kill Harvey.Then he meets him again and just stands there. This goes on for several chapters and flashbacks. And then at the end he beats him just because "I dunno", that's literally how he wins. He doesn't know, he doesn't understand. It just happens because otherwise he bad guy would've won. If you liked this story or character you are a gay.

            They only meet three times between the house fire and their final fight. The first time is immediately after the fire and Osvald is arrested on the spot by the city guard. The second time, Osvald just got done killing a giant golem and is stunned out of his wits by seeing his daughter alive but completely brainwashed, and the third time they meet, they fight to the death.

      Ochette starts in the middle of the map and you can go anywhere you like after that. Having her in the party for most of the game means you'll stockpile a large amount of very useful food from her passive.

      Octopath 2 fights aren't going to be much faster if you don't know how to exploit the battle system to your advantage. Buff your offense, debuff enemy defense, max boost when the boss is Broken and more. Lategame they only die faster if you know how to abuse Divine Skills.

                If anything, you could give her a class your team currently doesn't have for some versatility. The change in stats wouldn't be that severe.
                The devs also took the critiques to heart from the first game. The added stuff to do is also a bonus when OT1's fights felt too straightforward in comparison.

      Multi-hit skills with a single weapon/element type and skills/items that reduce shield points without hitting weaknesses are your friends here.

          More or less the same including the soda bottle in the prehistory chapter with some qol touch ups and one extra bit at the end: new final boss that features all 7 heroes + Oersted deals the finishing blow.
          There's some censorship unfortunately in the western, china and near future chapters.

      story has a slow start as all the gunpowder gets built up but gets really good.
      the graphics can be a little muddy at times because they didn't go to the trouble of making sure that the pixels stayed crisp regardless of camera angle/distance. this might not bother you unless you have autism like I do
      you have to enjoy tactics though. It's not like FFT where you can kinda bruteforce through it by leveling up your characters, you gotta really engage with the tactics part of the gameplay. or you can just set difficulty to easy

      Gameplay is great.

      it's a very dialogue heavy fft/tactics ogre type trpg. the live a live remake was also great.

      bouncing off this post: tactics ogre: reborn is very good too. This goes to the other extreme. VERY gameplay heavy, where late game battles can go on forever.

    Step Ahead doesn't just make you act first it gives an entire separate turn which also effectively makes your entire party start with 2BP as long as one has the skill.

      A little bit. Only because when I started, I was debating between Agnea and Partitio. And it turns out Agnea has the most protagonist feel out of all the characters.

      I'm still glad I picked Partitio because I love him

      Nope. It was a tossup between Oswald, Partitio and Hikari.
      I picked Hikari because it seemed like a safe option. And he carried very well.
      All characters do very well. So honestly you hate support or other types of characters, should be no issue.

      Nope, Hikari was my man through and through.

      Only because Osvald doing 8000x2 damage trivializes bosses so I kinda go out of my way to *not* do that.
      Osvald's actual story has been great.

    Thinking of making groups out of the crossed paths pairings and just doing all of their stories to the end together without meeting the other 4 and then doing the other 4 after. Is that moronic?

      not really. play the game the way you want to
      keep in mind gear is extremely important so if you want an actual difficulty curve with your 2nd set don't equip the endgame gear from your 1st set

        Good advice, end game shit is way too powerful. Battles aren't scaled to level so much; very heavily tied to gear

      I think some of the crossed paths are dependent on three or so stories being completed

      Agnea, no contest
      only character with a unique final boss theme for their story, title drop at the end of the game, grows out her hair after the end too

        It's obviously Temenos

        Is who leaves last, after the epilogue, determined by who the starting character was? It was Temenos for me in both cases, so I don't know if that's because he was the first char or if he's naturally the last to leave. But it makes sense for him to be the last, since his goal is the goal of the group, unlike everyone else's (whose goals are, at best, tangibly related to judging the gods for their misbehaviour).

    Man I regret doing Osvald, Throne, Temenos and Ochette stories first.
    Now the others all feel like boring garbage.
    Like I can't really bring myself to care about Agneas dancing or Hikaris "I fight for my friends" nonsense
    Also the path actions of the western team suck and a lot of chapters don't even have a dungeon or boss?
    It honestly feels like the game would have been better as quadropath traveler.

      Hikari is the only bad one. Castti is easily the best story, Agnea's is unironically up there as one of the best and Partitio's story has a lot of great shit

      Hikari, Agnea, and Castii all have phenomenal final chapters. Hikari's rivals Ochette in difficulty and is also super kino, albeit jrpg generic Agnea legit made me tear up, and Castii has a nice twist. Partitio isn't terrible, but I felt his final chapter was the weakest.
      plus you have the final chapter and side story to look forward to.

    Is the true ending locked behind a bunch of side quests like in the original, or is it just tied to completing the character and crossed path stories?

    How much of an improvement is this one over 1? I really enjoyed the main campaign of 1 my first time through but I hated the path to get to the true final boss and never touched the game since beating it. Is it still the case that you need to use everyone equally because of no shared XP?

    • 1 year ago

      There are much easier ways and exploits to level grind now, and the true final boss is built into the story so the scaling matches what everyone should be after all of the 8 final chapters > paired chapters > final endgame chapters. Superboss is another issue altogether.

      everything you liked about the original is vastly better. Characters have more life to them, graphics are better, music is still rockin, jobs got remixed better. Plotlines are a bit deeper and have more chapters.
      Anything you didn't like about the first game probably hasn't been fixed.
      If you loved the first, you'll love++ this one. If you didn't like the first you might not like this one.

      No shared XP but if you complete the stories for four characters together then swap them out for the other four and complete theirs you'll end up at the level you need to be.

      Sadly the best is the dungeon under the wall, you unlock it by walking over the bridge with 7 or more people, so you gotta have the recruit squad, but that is the lvl 55 dungeon, which has a boss, a strong unique item and license unlock item as well. Enjoy the grind
