      Yes.
      It is slightly worse in terms of combat but instead of 4 great and 4 shit stories it has 2 great and 6 good stories.

          The big problem with OT1 is that all the stories needed to finish within 4 chapters, and the first chapters were throwaway because they couldn't count on you actually doing them instead of just picking up the recruit and immediately moving on. So a lot of these stories never got any room to breathe.
          Tressa's and Alfyn's really suffered from having to be wrapped up so quickly.

          Plot-wise, she doesn't. She has a passive ability where transitioning between areas gives her money based on the level of the area and how many steps you took in them. You could sneak in and out of high level areas to farm money earlygame with the risk of getting beaten the frick up if you get into an encounter.

        Whilst dunkey is a moron, what is said is mostly true. The game is a bit too grindy with most classes being completely useless and then 60 levels later they're unkillable DPS gods. The writing for each story is fine but the lack of character interactions completely misses the point of a game like this. It's why most jrps are memorable. The fact that you have all these personalities mesh and help resolve each others conflicts is awesome to see in other games, but not this. I thought the voice acting was actually pretty dang good most of the time. There were a couple bits that made it seem phoned-in, but other than that I thought it was good. Therion and Cyrus' voices in particular were grand. If they had just reduced the god damn grind by a lot and had way better characters then it would be a fine game.

      If you like more classic style JRPGS, give it a go, i think you can still get the demo for the first game? try it for a few hours, and then decide, if you like it and buy you pick up right where you left off.
      But you DO NOT need to have prior knowledge to play OT2, just you can grasp the combat.
      But if you were going to i would go OT1 then OT2, some really good quality of life things that imo would make the first game unfun to go back to.

          I'm on the fence on this. I watch anime in jap dub only but I've never played a jap dub game before because I simply didn't have anything other than the localized version (Shadow of Memories, Metal Gear Solid 1/2/3, Dead or Alive 2, Kingdom Hearts 1/2, Final Fantasy X/X-2/XII/XIII, Genshin Impact, Persona 3/4). I never even had any issues with the English voices. i've played FFX so much that I know the dialogue by heart. I honestly don't know (and getting undubs to work also seems a hassle).

      A more fleshed out endgame. It was nice to see the whole party interact together, but the whole plot is explained through flashbacks and excluding the one related to Tenemos, the party don't get to interact with the antagonist they're tied to in it. They probably ran out of time or money but it's a bit of a shame because it felt like it could have been a lot better.

        Boss health needed to be at least doubled across the board. A lot of these fights had neat stuff going on that never get any time to actually happen because they have like 28k hp and you nuke them off the map.

        The only reason I even saw most boss gimmicks was because I took my time and played around a bit to let them get them off. The only two exceptions were the Conjuror boss because she was fairly tanky for when my party fought her, and Cassti's final boss because I didn't want to frick around with the constant MaxHP drain.

          i'm sure it's doing far better on Steam compared to the previous games, after all it's a simultaneous release. it has a 17k peak players for 2k for BD2 and TS. the catch is: is it performing well enough to justify the physical gap while not compromising on PC sales?
          if we looked just at peak users, which is stupid, and had it match the 2k of those games, it would allow it 15k extra sales which would have it match BD2 from that previous chart.
          it's a naive way to look at the numbers, but i'm not worried about OT2's sales compared to the other Asano titles.

              and TS clearly did well enough if they care to go back and give it a free update with mostly QoL. Asano titles have found their niche and as long as they're selling within that range they might get a sequel or 2 before they come in with a new IP to get more sales again.

      Being multiplat disincentivized Nintendo from big advertising pushes, and launching in the crowded as frick first quarter of the year rather than the summer dead zone that Octopath 1 did probably didn't help.

      Not making a lot of meaningful upgrades that reviewers took note of(e.g. no experience sharing) probably hurt a lot too, when getting the chance to do Game 2 meant they could confront all the issues people had with the original.

      The production values are great, but pseudo-retro novelty can only carry you so far.

        They did do a lot, stuff like character interaction/banter, being able to view the banter without autistically changing teams, no purple chests, characters are more unique gameplay-wise.
        The whole no shared exp/forced main character is really part of the design philosophy they have in mind I guess.

          switch owners are shallow people who fall for the fad gimmick of the moment, even the console itself is a meme. Nintendo enforces this since time immemorial. Remember when Nintendo fired Squaresoft because "RPGs are not appealing to the big public"? Yeah, that's when Squaresoft pulled out FFVII for the PS1.

        Bravely 2 has a superior battle system with a lot of depth when it comes to build crafting. Octopath 2 feels shallow in comparison, and it's missing QoL features like auto-battle and saved gear/skill loadouts. Where octopath 2 shines is in the writing, voice acting, and art style, but eventually battles become too mindlessly repetitive to be enjoyable, partially because of the unavoidable random encounters (BD2 has visible encounters like most modern JRPG's)

                She's really just a victim of circumstance. Her hubby died, she fell for some cleric chick who said the right words at the right time, and BOOM, sacrifice. Which is pretty fitting considering the otherwise harmless nature of Agnea's story.

      Depends on which group you start with.
      I'd recommend NOT starting with the eastern continent as all the western clown stories will make you want to drop the game if you've already experienced the kino of Osvald, Temenos and Throne.
      Also going back from combat with a full team with 2 fully skilled jobs, secret classes and optimized gear to level 10s with 2 skill feels incredibly shit.

    I need help building a team for some of the crazy shit I keep stumbling across. I'm maining Temenos until I finish up his story, and I've gotten everyone. I'm using the eastern continent team and seem to be lacking in quickly building up to my heavy damage attacks.

    Temenos is subbing Armsmaster for easy breaks and the axe skill, Osvald is Arcanist at the moment to learn everything from it, Ochette is Merchant (with a few of the once per battle monsters available so that's what she builds up to) and Throne is Dancer right after finishing up Warrior.

        If you're judging based solely on their connections to the overarching plot, then you're just stuck with Tenemos. Everyone else just had an antagonist/side character that magically get "revealed" as evil later in the game. If this game was just about the final story, then it would be the lamest shit ever. Just enjoy the fact that Partitio is a fricking gigachad who single-handedly started the industrial revolution just to make people happy.

    I'm feeling like I was wrong to enjoy the stories as self-contained narratives, and that I was supposed to criticize them for not being sufficiently linked to the overarching save-the-world-from-the-demon-lord plot that's present in the final story.

      You're supposed to enjoy them as self-contained narratives and then slowly pick up that they're connected until the final chapter ties everything together. Except for Partitio and Agnea's stories which have nothing to do with anything apparently.

    All that is required is a sacrifice of blood using a Darkblood weapon near a Sacred Flame brazier, so Vide can get close enough to snuff it out. The wound need not be fatal, as Ori discovered.

      It's just overleveling one character which isn't a big deal, really.
      As long as you shuffle characters around every single chapter you do, it's fine, they will actually end up evenly leveled outside of your mc and you have no need to do mental gymnastics with equipment or exploration.

      >I am once again asking why they decided to do this
      If I had to guess, it's because older gen RPGs had a tradition of locking one character into the player's party as the main character, and this franchise is emulating that effect while also implicitly giving you the choice of which of the eight you personally consider your main character.
      As for your other question, I say that you should do whatever feels right for you. After all, this is an adventure all your own, not one Ganker should micromanage for you.

          Is temenos REALLY fighting people, or is it just a way to illustrate him grilling people for info? The background is all black and hazy like a dream unlike all the other path actions where you fight NPCs, but he loses actual health and SP from these fights. Is he literally going inside their minds to fight their egos? Scary.

      It's a carryover from OT1, where half of the Path Actions had an RNG element that hurts your party's reputation if you fail. Fewer Path Actions taken at night hurt your rep if you fail, presumably because it's easier to escape notice under the cover of darkness.

      the stats of whatever you have equipped. Elemental attacks just go off of whatever weapon has the highest elemental attack.

          it wouldn't be enough to make a noticeable difference as turn order is semi-randomized anyway. high speed will GENERALLY have you go early, low speed will GENERALLY have you go late.
          windy reverie, stimulate, and leghold trap and defend are the only reliable ways of ensuring you go ahead of the enemy

            I think this is meant to be old school bartending reminiscent of a time when domestic freezers weren't really a thing and you'd get big blocks of ice delivered to your bar for use that day. The showmanship of the process is the appeal, even though it'd be much easier to just use an ice machine like almost all modern bars do.

        I never used Stroke of Genius either. The idea was to give Osvald a little more utility, I guess. But doing anything other than preparing a big attack feels like a waste. If he has nothing to do, you could give someone or himself more stacks of intensified magic.

      You can get them all except conjurer, which requires you to finish Hikari's story. Inventor is obviously easy to find, Armsmaster requires you to go to Gravell and have a rusty weapon which should be easy to do. Arcanist requires you to beat the Whirlpool boss though.
