I've only played OT2. Should I get any of the other ones or just wait for 3? I heard 1 is kind of outdated compared to the sequel.
>>738996129Bit of a rogue pick... but I'd fuck Linde, the snow leopard.
>>7389982431 is definitely not as good as 2, but it's still a great game. 0 was made by a different company and it's sort of a different genre than 1 and 2.
>>7389982431 is a bit more generic compared to 2 but still good regardless, Olberic was my favorite story. Haven't played 0 and don't think I want to
>>738996129Name a vidya character cooler than PartitioYou can't
>>738996129What the fuck was with that localization anyway? That village is the only one speaking Ye Olde Englishe.
>>7389982431 and 2 are fundamentally the same game. There's mainly more stuff in 2, especially how they did interconnectedness between individual character scenarios. And by that I mean they actually comment on what's going on instead of going to their little story instance.
>>738999726>pays money to enemies to skip their turn>even cosmic horrors beyond your comprehensionhe was based af
>>738996471>schizo charactershe gives me the ick
>>738999760Isn't Provoke fucking useless?
>>7389982431 is worth a play. 0 I'm not so sure. The job system is inferior to both games, the town building is actually well done from an aesthetic POV but ultimately it's tacked on and inconsequential as a mechanic and as a story hook and doesn't amount to anything deeper than one of those stupid facebook cow clicker games where you occasionally run in to talk to every NPC to collect crap that you'll never need. The game also focuses more on the villains which is an interesting choice, but it's not executed well. They have shallow motivations and the writing feels more like grimdark for its own sake. Auguste is the closest the game comes to having an interesting villain because of how utterly insane and enigmatic it is how he manages to play the cult of personality to such a ridiculous degree and as a person who has had friends and family stuck in cults it strikes very true no matter how absurd it might seem.I'd give 0 a try if I was desperate (I did) but I couldn't finish it. I just wasn't as invested in it the same way I was invisted in the Travelers in 1 & 2.
>cleric >expected an idealistic goody two shoes who wants to help people>actually get a smartass inquisitor who will beat up people for informationI do like my expectations being subverted
>>739000462certainly better than ophilia
>mfw finishing Ochette's pathFucking hell this game does not hold back on the gut punches.
>>739000961>Let all... Face oblivion....
>>739000961You DID pick the dog right
>>739000462someone read the name of the rose in between games
I should really finish Octopath 2, but it's been like three years since I played it so I'd want to restart.
>>738998243OT1 is worth sinking a couple dozen of hours into, it is kind of jank kino.OT0 is worthless slop however.
>>738998172https://youtu.be/9P29PZEYWpo?si=zEB14pYovIqCo44d
>>739000161Apothecary MC + Battle-Tested Axe + Battle-Worn Tome + Swiftbolt Surpassing Power + Elemental Expertise = really good BP ST damage. Alongside the base Apothecary skillset for heals & a revive, he was basically my can-do-everything button once I got most of the ults.Of course, Cyrus with Battle-Tested Tome + Searing or Absolute Zero Staff + Surpassing Power + Price of Power becomes an extremely good elemental damage dealer + breaker, especially with his 1-hit Scholar spells getting boosted to extreme heights thanks to Price of Power.
>>738998243im going to be real and say, i played octopath 1 before 2, and gameplay wise, i found octopath 1 to be superior.i only say that because it felt like there was more fun in mixing and matching classes in 1. people say 1 is more of a grind, but it wasn't that bad. i also liked the special classes better.i will also say 2 was way easier than 1. like, in 1 you have to beat secret minibosses to unlock classes, and any of those minibosses are harder than any boss secret or otherwise in 2. that said, 2 does have some of the hardest jrpg bosses i have ever played in the form of extra stories.also people are like 'in ocotpath 2 the stories are more interrelated'... and its like, yeah theres like 10 cutscenes of 20 minutes of dialogue connecting them.tldr; for me its ocotpath 2 extra battles > octopath 1 > octopath 2
>>739001889I did.
sex with giantess agnea
>>739005060how
>>739004465Beating Galderra in 2 without the summoned bird cheese for the first phase is almost an achievemnt for me
Ochette sexo
>>738998243OT1 lacks quality of life features but it’s mostly the same game. I’ve seen people prefer 1 to 2 so you never know.
>>739006628yiff in hell
>>739007889Rude
>nsp/xci for 1.0.7 never surfacedreeeeeee
>>738999760>Play 2>Meet a Beastling>Deathly afraid Ochette is going to talk like that, greatly relieved when she doesn't
>>738996471Eew, a white woman
>>7389982431 is really fun
>>739009256>She didnt start out with OchetteCringe
>>739010829How was I supposed to know that she was the best character on my first playthrough?!
>>739007889But she’s cute, anon>>739011168Castti is probably better because apothecary is broken af in 2. Sadly they got nerfed in 0
>>739010829But Agnea is the true main character
>>739011742Hikari is literally a shonen hero
>>739011935>Everyones final fight song has the same intro and overall vibe>Agnea's is the only one unique out of all of themThis proves I'm right
>>739011935He has the most underwhelming climax, honestly.>Shadow is just cause the ancestor who fucked around was tainted. Meh
>>738996129I only played 1. Is 2 any better? None of the new blood look as good as Therion.
>>738999726Osvald is better. Autistic man bear seeking revenge is better than communist cowboy
>>739012159The thief has big tits on 2
>>739012201>communistHe's capitalism done right
>>7390121592 is better in every way
>>739012680Except for the characters and world
best girl
>>739012932The characters and world are way better and have more depth to them. The way how many mysteries tie together into a coherent narrative is also done better. This isn't a slight against Octopath 1, it crawled so Octopath 2 could soar in the sky.
>>739013834Why are people acting like if 1 doesn’t have a similar review score to 2
Glad to see everyone hates stupid OT0 in the house
>>739005060Hikari is so lucky bros…
>>739013428I love my nursemommywife.
>>739013428Drunk sexo with Castti
>>738999760Does she only speak like that in the English dub? What about in Japanese
>>739013428>devotes her entire life to healing people, even her enemies>carries a gigantic fucking battle-axe around with her everywhere
>>739016874Yes only in english.
>>739018195This also applies to other characters like Zanta as well.
I love how much his arc made reddit homos and fujos seethe
>>739018262Why?
>>739018590Why what?
>>739018402Why? All I remember is he solved the case
>>739018590More like why are you surprised? All EN localizers are fucking horrible.
>>739018697Why does she talk like that in the English dub>>739018941LikeThat’s terrible
>>739019179So the normal answer would be that you'd have to ask the translators, but this is square-enix game. This is actually common in their games. There's no basis in the japanese for a faux-archaic english translation. This isn't like Tolkien's Beowulf translation where he argues the language in Beowulf was archaic even for the time period it was written in. It's definitely a crutch. They can't think of any other way to preserve the emotion/tone of the japanese so they go with their best ye olde impression to mask that. They got away with it in Vagrant Story, so it's their default.
>>739018832They wanted him and Crick to have gay sex
>>739020263They’re still the number one shopping couple doe
>>738998172That final boss fight was peak cringe kino
>>739017559
>OT0 final boss is 32 nibbas in a rowName a more kino boss fight
>>738996129I love this gorilla woman so much.
>>739020842Bravely Default's final boss has literally infinite niggas in infinite rows
>>739020981I was so disappointed to see how small Veronica is in Agnea's ending art.
One thing I hate about these games is the font. I know it's autistic as fuck to care about something like that but it's just ugly.
>>739020347
Thoughts on Eliot?
>>739022381looks great can't wait to play it
>>739022381I'm hoping it will scratch the top down Zelda itch.
>>739022381I'll probably play it
>>739022381Why the fuck is square so quit on Elliot, it's releasing next month and there's so little advertisement on it.
>>739023786That's normal for SE
>>739022381>>739023786literally never heard about it until I saw the thread a couple hours ago
>>739024675>>739024191Square sucks ass at advertising anything that isn't FF or DQ. They barely advertised Octopath 2 and Nintendo did the advertisement for Octopath 1 when it was a switch exclusive.
>>739024873also TWEWY but yeah that's why I'm not surprised
>>739024675Kino
>>738996239Faggot
>>739002198OT2 is slop too. Even worse, overpraised slop.
>>738996129When I played through OT0 I didn't think about it much, I was much more enamored with Bestower of Wealth and Master of Fame, but I think Bestower of All might have my favorite theme after all.That game really got to cheat the rules by letting each boss have their own main theme + transition + boss theme. I love the OT2 character themes but they don't get enough time like the boss's main themes do in OT0.
>>739031205OT0 is focused more on the villains. All of the villains name spell out Octopath for example and there’s less focus on the playable characters
>>739028671>"I know! I'll sound like a retard that describes games as 'slop' without going into any specifics, which shows that I haven't even played it!"Thanks, buying it now.
>>739021210>bodyguard to a famous actress>in a world full of magic and steam weaponry she just uses her fists to beat the shit out of youBased character. I wish she would have been playable but I know they had to stick with the 8 character themeing.
>>739033339Yes and she should look bigger. She looks puny in her only official art apperance meanwhile her sprite she is all muscular
>>739033689sprites are exaggerated for dramatic effect to replicate the feel of old final fantasy bosses.
>>739032993Cope
>>739035221Seethe
I only played 0 because (I) am the MC and have a cute childhood friend gf.If the new game isn't like that, I shan't be playing.
>>738996129Based haniit
>>739037183That depends if they want to keep to games in the style of 0 or go back to the style of 1+2
>>739041180They will likely go back to 1+2.Unless Zero sold really well.Dunno how the gacha is doing so maybe there is more content there for another offline port.
I'm gonna be a stah, yall.
>>7390431540 seems to at least sold 1 million copies. It wouldn’t surprise me if it outsold 2
>>739030379Sex.
Stop thinking about sex
>>739004465you think the secret job bosses in 1 are harder than galdera, the deep one and dreadwolf in 2? I have to disagree, iirc i beat dreisang before my second chapter 4(or i did them after all chapter 4s lol, cant remember)
>>739012159Id say its better. Better gameplay, better qol, better story(in some cases), better presentation, etc.1 feels like a tech demo compared to 2
>>739037183I remember when I had these cutscenes of "look at wishvale and how beautiful it is compared to after its destruction" and it was just a giant mess of nothing but big houses so i could farm ressources because i cant build beautiful things for shit lol. I eventually just copied some other dudes town 1:1 i saw somewhere on the internet
>>738996129>provoke sucks>story is the most boring onedon't know why Haniit is popular
>>739051739theres no way you think haniits story is the most boring when tressa exists. She has arguably the most consistent story since already at chapter 1, the antagonist is there(redeye) and haniits goal is solidified(rescuing her master)
>>739051739Haniit isn’t that popular. Square did a popularity poll last year and she didn’t make top 20. I think the only real popular ot1 character is Cyrus.
>>739051739Redeye is genuinely the most interesting thing in the game but only once you read the secret reports or whatever you want to call them pre-Galdera.Graham's story in general is the best story the game has on offer and it's only text to read. This pissed me off about 0 as well. All that new worldbuilding for Orsterra, set before the events of the first game, and Graham only shows up once? That's fucked up, man.
>>739052189>most boring when tressa existsfair point
>>739051739because of the way she talksalso linde
Hopes/Expectations/Fears for OT3?
Sex with Isla
>>739052807Cyrus and Primrose, I think.
>>739053756it never coming out
>>739053756>HopesIt comes out.>ExpectationsIt comes out.>FearsIt doesn't come out.
>>739054759Ophelia, Therion and Cyrus. What the fuck is Rinyuu doing there
>>739055282>What the fuck is Rinyuu doing thereSuffering: the character who still tries to make the best of a bad situation.>Osvald, Hikari, Temenos, and Auguste made it into the top 20Incredibly good taste. If Partitio made it in, I'd have my whole OT2 team there.
>>739055282Makes me wonder why some of these gacha characters didn't get into 0. I don't know who the fuck 8, 12 (love the hat though), and 14 are but surely they'd be better than some others who made it in. Can't even remember half their names. Also>Rondo>Rinyuu>anywhere NEAR the top 20Japs will never escape the shit taste allegations. At least Elrica has a fucking spectacular battle theme to carry her.
>>7390556618 is the starting thief for CotC. 12 is Ditraina from the emberflame story with the Cait sages in CotC.
>>739041180>>739043154OT0's story was collectively the entire Orsterra Arc in the gacha.It had more: Side Solistia (short and also trash), Sacred Beasts or something involving the Caits (nothing of import), and now they're doing "The Unchosen One" or something along those lines while shilling "what-if" characters potentially for that arc like Good King Pardis III, etc.
>>739055661>>739055643>>739055282Rinyuu was ridiculously meta for a long time, anons.Prime backpack unit since she consistently refreshed HP and SP (which is difficult to maintain in the gacha during battles).
>>739056440Anon, could you please give a qrd regarding those 3 stories? They sound interesting.
>>739051739H'aanit is probably the least popular in OT1
>>739056440Side Solisita:MC is Sailhe goes on adventure to figure out his past or find his mom or something in Solistiahe's also a vessel or something for GalderaOT2 main characters pop up mainly to cheer him on and say he's a good personit continues with awful writing where it comes to head that Lucian, leader of the Order of Blood cult or somethingSail falls and becomes Sailderahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfleU0DhRFAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJmkAW4KXP8stuff happensLyblac (yes, her) and Lucian fuse into the true final bossCait story I just tuned out entirely and The Unchosen One was just recently revealed in the JP version and I haven't touched the gacha in months.
>>739057554>>739058316wrong reply
>>739056509Gay
>>739055282>Hikari not in top 3Surprising restraint from the Japs. They usually love any character that dick sucks traditional honobaru Japanese aesthetics. Even incredibly boring and bland ones like Hikari
>>739059748Hikari has Sovl
>>739059748Westerners don't really have a right to talk hear considering all you need to for them is "make character talk strange"
>>739061086*here
>>739046204Hope thats true.>>739050357Same. I am going to properly set it up once I have unlocked everything.
I wanted to finish the secret boss of octopath 1 before going to octopath 2 but hes so fucking hard. I have everyone like level 70 too
>>739062546Octopath 1 falls into the same pitfall that Andrew's Game does where most of the endgame cleanup involves engaging with the actual game as little as possible in favor of cheese tactics. >this boss is actually really easy if you loop this exploit with that setup and never allow it to land a single attack while nailing it for 9999 damage every hit
>>739061086Explain dear anom
>>739064484>Released that May in North America, Vagrant Story was a significant step forward forEnglish localization. A taut, lean story of dark medieval intrigue and magic, it was a gamewith a depth of language still uncommonly used to this day.
>>739063118Based
>>739063118>falls into the same pitfall that Andrew's Game doesI don't think it's quite as bad as Andrew's Game in that respect, which I actually chalk up to the Threat system. Octopath 1's endgame is balanced around you having all the tools to be damn near invincible with Cleric's Saving Grace and dishing out stupid damage with Warrior's Surpassing Power (let alone shit like Runelord Tressa) but everyone is still targeting randomly at the end of the day so the game still has to be a bit conservative about it.Andrew's Game, since it gives you the knowledge and tools to "cheat" who gets hit outside of AoEs, does not pull a single punch. I think it's an inspired system, I just think Andrew might have put a bit too much emphasis onto it, knowingly or not.
>>739065886I don't say it disparagingly, mostly just making an observation. If a boss can hit me for way, way harder than I can keep pace with, but I have a party member like Tressa who can make the entire party immune to physical damage or a Summoner/Black Mage that can stunlock enemies indefinitely, trying to play the game as you have been playing it for the previous sixty hours becomes a fool's errand that you are punished for.
>>739012159I want to say Therion is worth it for the ability to open all those chests early, but since contents are shit it amounts to very little.
>>739053756Make it 12 niggas in a row
>>739056509Ah, so kinda like how Saoirse is ridiculously OP in 0 because you put her in the back row and never swap her back to the front (except to switch between Dagger and Fan for Sniper) so you continually refresh your ultimates thanks to her passive.
>>739053756It’s like 1 and 2
>>739018590In japanese she has a farmers accent.The american farmers accent doesnt suit H'annit so they went with the approach of her village speaking ye olde. This is often the case in medieval fantasy. Localizers will have characters speak whatever era the setting seems to be
>>739070304Cool, thanks anon
>>738998172Kino af
>>739056509>meta whoresPeople should like characters because they’re well written
>>739070304>japanese she has a farmers accent.When? Where?
>>739018262Weird ass jp font. Half the kana are irregular
>>739074654Don't know what you're talking about. Font is pretty normal.
>>739074901Looks like unown compared to stock text hiragana lol
>>738998243I'm actually going through OT1 right now, working my way through Chapter 3 for the characters. I have mixed feelings about the characters (probably like Olberic and Primrose the best so far, with Tressa close behind), but I like the game for the most part, especially the battle system. It can be a grind at times though.
>>739074271In JPN audio
>>739076173>It can be a grind at times though.I've never played a turn based RPG that wasn't a grind at some point. Even if I'm not actively grinding for levels. Thousands of menu battles will wear on you no matter what.
>>739076705Amazing. So you're just lying(Voice actress does not have a "farmer accent", whatever the fuck that means). If a character was meant to have a specific dialect it'd probably be present in the text. They do that a lot you know. Also here's Maron, a farm girl from another game(who doesn't have a fake medieval accent in English). It seems to take place in a similar era to Octopath so I'm sure you can point out similarities in Maron and Hanit's speech with the japanese knowledge you have, because you would never spread misinformation about a language you don't know just play defense for random translators you have no personal connection too.
>>739074901This
>>738996129What does Letten mean
>>739080968middle English version of "let".
>>739082210*Obsolete past participle
The old english is all pseudo junk. Localizers are mentally ill.
>>738998498Why Linde???
>>738996129Why is it called Octopath traveler bros
It’s joever
>>739090129it's donover
>>739074227Later parts of the story (Bestower and on) are far more difficult than the OT0 versions. Metafaggotry is basically the only way to keep up with the damage race and damage mitigation.
>>739068594Pretty much, but Rinyuu barely had any presence for offensive purposes. Saoirse on the other hand has her ult to help with breaking shenanigans.
>>739076732>>739076173The lack of 2x speed toggle during battles (and all of the extra tools to break the game apart) makes OT1 difficult to go back to after having played OT2.
Surpassing Power should have been locked behind a town upgrade. 2 mastery slots with surpassing power being mandatory on attacks feels so bad.Also what level should I be before attempting the postgame boss. I'm on a streak of 5+ holy caits fleeing immediately and don't want to use Bargello.
>>739091378All you need is the MC spamming Dohter's with someone throwing out the ult-gauge-refilling items. Saoirse for helping with breaking and a team full of AOE multi-hit nukes. I guess that female merchant OC whose name I forget too.
>>739091378>>739091840And Pius. Because his ult is overclocked with the double debuff on enemies and double buff on the player's side.
I got to the second chapter of every character in octopath 1 and then just never finished. It's so fucking boring.
>>739022381The demo was fun so I'm looking forward to it
>>738998172Agnea had the worst story but the best final boss
>>739012201>partitio>communistPick one.
>>739007889The state of this board is hell so they're right at home.
>>739091078Rinyuu sucks as a character idaf how meta she was in CotC. If you pick her as one of your favorite characters over the missing ot1 and ot2 characters you are a cuck
>>739093468Considering the votes were done specifically for CotC, where the OG OT1 8 and OT2 8 barely had any presence in comparison, it's a given, anon.
>>739093568Ochette, Temenos and Hikari made top 8 with Osvald, Throne and Castti in th top 20. Cyrus was voted number two with Therion and Ophelia in theTop 20. There is no way anyone thinks Rinyuu is a better character than Tressa, Partitio, Agnea, Primrose, unbending blade man, Haniit and Alfyn.
>>739000572But Ophilia is cuter and sexier than he is.
>>739093936She’s another boring white woman with blonde hair
>>739092262I pick both.
>>739092184Wrong.
Partitio > Osvald > Ochette > Throne > Castii > Temenos > Agnea >>> Hikari
>>738996129> just started OT2> same strategy as before: gather all 8 travelers and all sub jobs before starting chapter 2s> huh?? Now I get the sub jobs through marked NPCs instead> I found 2 shrines so: Warrior and Dancer. They asked to bring someone> I presume there are 6 others like itWhat’s this about?Also, those marked NPC have side quests after giving me the job certifications asking for certain items. Are they worth it?
>>739098340Shrines require the character in the party with the same base job, ie Osvald to the Scholar shrine. You get the character's 1st EX Skill (exclusive to that character). 2nd EX Skill is gotten after beating the character's story.Guild NPCs have those so you can have more of the same job equipped, well worth it since some jobs are really good (Merchant) and you could want to stack multiples of the same job in your party if needed. Like 3 dancers + Agnea for Bewildering Grace spam.
>>739098535Holy shit, this is awesomeI was so disappointed in OT1 when I realized I couldn’t make full Mage team like I did in Bravely DefaultThank you dearly
>>739053756Has there been any confirmation that we'll even get a 3?
>>738996129I know barely anybody played cotc, it’s a shame Zero didn’t use any of the collab characters or at very least BD units since they were kinda integrated to Orsterra. The other collabs didn’t have such significantHere is a quick summary> thanks to some shuffling books fuckary, the BD characters found themselves in Orsterra … or at least most of them> Elvis: being the usual drunk jolly self despite being stranded> Adelle: tagged with him, however she got homesick quickly> Angés: had a side story dealing with a little girl who got manipulated by an asterisk> Edea: the usual mrgrgr self> they all decided to take shelter in “Nameless Town” which is Wishvale> the overall first arc revolved around our favorite bitch Airy who they had to deal with again> “to be continued” after killing her> Two years passed, the 2nd arc finally came> Gloria showed up to them asking if there’s a way for her to return home> Magnolia crashed in with her spaceship, damaging it> everyone started searching for any clues> found Ringabel who was oddly out of character> turns out he was corrupted by Airy again and betrayed his friends> luckily he managed to drink some holy water behind her back to break free> an awful boss fight> Magnolia managed to fix the spaceship, but only one can return home> Everyone elected Gloria> after all said and done, Magnolia did her usual bullshit and wiped everyone’s memory of her existence… except for Ringabel for some reason> the end for nowI understand why they didn’t bring BD story to Zero, thier story is not concluded even in Japan
>>739098979In the mobile version: all servers already concluded the Solstia’s arc and now they are on some fillersSame thing happened when they were done with Orsterra before they surprised us with OT2So maybe they are planning on OT3 as we speak
Huh, an Octopath Traveler thread. I should really go back and finish Alfyn's game. From what I remember, the combat was satisfying, and the music was outstanding. For as much as I liked OT1, however, I put the game down one day and never picked it back up for some reason.
>>739099718> put the game down one day and never picked it back up for some reason.Same thing happened to me, I played it day 1 but dropped it temporarily after Tressa’s story that made me cringe her Runelord form was kickass though Years later I had to complete it fullyAlfyn's story started lame because he’s so goody goody but things will take an interesting turn down the line and I liked it
>>739098141Hikari is kino nigga
>>739100493>I played it day 1 but dropped it temporarily after Tressa's story that made me cringeI, too, was someone who played the game on its first day of release. Went through the Prologue Demo and everything, thought it was neat that the devs allowed players to transfer their progress over to the full version of the game. Was Tressa's story that bad? What made you decide to pick OT1 back up and play the title to its ending? At this point, I know as much about the games as any newcomer would.>Alfyn's story started lame because he's so goody goody but things will take an interesting turn down the line and I liked itSounds intriguing. Alfyn's cute looks and good nature are what drew me to him. Still think of him fondly, based on what little I can recall. Always been a total sucker for the "goody two-shoes" type of heroes.
>>739099718Yeah the Octo threads are always a delight when they appear. Funnily enough, I had a similar story. Played Octo 1 all the way through, enjoyed it greatly. Octo 2 came out, played it a little bit, and then put the game down for like 2 years before finally coming back and finally finishing the whole thing.Not sure why you stopped, but for me I am pretty sure it was because Octo 2’s beginning is incredibly slow, at least compared to 1. I’m glad I ended up continuing 2 though; it also ended up tons of fun. well, I hope you pick it up again some day. Or don’t. Whatever. >>739100493>>739101060>Alfyn’s story…Man I gotta replay 1 sometime though. It’s been so long I barely remember the stories, but Alfyn’s was pretty interesting from what I remember. His battle lines are pretty funny too.
>>739099668This
>>739101810Seems like a nice thread, yeah. I appreciated seeing it in the catalogue. Reading your story and the other Anon, it's interesting that all of us put down an Octopath Traveller game before returning to it. Is this simply the nature of these games? Of JRPGs, perhaps? The genre sort of "fell off" with me at some point in my life, and I have been slowly getting back into it.At any rate, I am really happy that you love the series as much as you do. Be it blitzing through the game on your first play-through or coming back to it after a hiatus, it just feels good to reach the ending of a title you can say you truly had a fun time with.>second spoilerThank you. I appreciate your kind sentiment. Oddly enough, OT1 is a game that I have thought about for years after I randomly dropped it. This conversation made me realize that there is indeed a list of games that I do genuinely wish to play/complete amongst the myriad of titles in my collection. Maybe it's about time I took the plunge.>His battle lines are pretty funny tooI remember loving them! He was certainly my favourite for a reason.
>>739099668They’re doing a new storyline in the mobile version
>>739101060> Was Tressa's story that bad?Without spoiling, her story was “maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way” it actually made me scream in agony. However you need to pay attention to her story and the other 7 characters because each have a clue to a certain someone you will keep hearing his name throughout the game>What made you decide to pick OT1Shit I had to dust out my memory, it was early 2018 when I got my switch as a birthday gift but I left aside to finish off some 3DS games. Then when I picked it up I wondered what exclusive games to look for. I somehow missed BotW which is a blasphemy for many and Xenoblade 2 but I heard about this new ambitious project called “Octopath Travelers” only on Switch so I kept an eye on it>>739104521Yeah they now starting the dimension fuckary where now you will meet characters from other timelines who are complete 180 such as picrelBut from what I understand the intro is a filler in a way until they made a anniversary celebration for JP few weeks ago where they implied they will go all inI wouldn’t be surprised if OT3 turns out to be basically this
>>739032993OP blatantly shills their slop, and you expect nuance and details in a /v/ thread?There is evidence of "overpraise" everywhere (just google it!), yet you choose to be the one to get baited easily
>>739105492Define slop nigga
>>739105898Slop is "low-quality, low-effort digital content"Literally what Octopath is.Does any part of the story strike as something unique and worth discussing? None. You will never see any plot discussion in Octopath threads. It's just waifuposting.Gameplay? Boost and break weaknesses then use your strongest move all the time.>"oh but you are ignoring the superbosses". Who needs superbosses when your content is already lackluster from the beginning, you cannot hold someone interest long enough to reach that point.But ultimately even if it's a decent slop if you loved grindy JRPGs on a slightly better than KEMCO quality level, it's also an overpraised, overpriced one.
>>739019179The guy who localized it is a specialist or something in that kind of old English language and iirc he said it fit them being isolated or something. Honestly it's just an excuse to insert one of his passions into the script. Funnily enough the same guy had an actually justifiable scene to do this in (in Raging Loop, there's a point where characters are speaking archaic Japanese that's difficult to understand)
>>738996129Sazantos did nothing wrong
>>739108195>Funnily enough the same guy had an actually justifiable scene to do this in (in Raging LoopThese games share translators. It always a shame how translators have a passion for everything outside translating the fucking game
>>739111054*These games share translators?
How was 0?
>>739018195>Thou just madest that one upShe is using the present indicative, so does it mean "you're just making that up" in present tense? But "that one" implies she's responding to a previous line, in which case using the present indicative would be incorrect. Is that the case? I don't remember the dialogue well.>>739018262>Comen now, girl!The localizer knew to use Middle English infinitives. So then why does he again use the indicative mood here>Must thou makest our parting so gloomy?When it's a question and afaik should not use the indicative, which would make the correct way to say it>Must thou maken our parting so gloomy?assuming I'm right that the infinitive should be used here. Of course I'm no expert, but I've seen localizers and indie devs misuse these verb forms as well as inflected pronouns(thee/thy/thine) enough times to have doubts.
>>739111678Whoops I fucked up, "madest" seems to actually be the indicative past tense(correct), since the indicative present would be "makest", which already shows up in the last line I'm talking about here, my bad. I still think my version of that one is correct, though.
>>739111149Like a midway point between 1 which felt like a beta and 2 which wasn't topped by it.It feels more like a spinoff (which is fair because the gacha is a canon spinoff) considering the basis of the Octopath Traveler gimmick of 8 "main heroes" is plain missing in lieu of the 8 villain arcs.Subjob system is ass in 0 because only (You) can do it and everyone else including (You) has to make do with 3 additional active skills and 2 additional passives (along with locking out 2 of your base passives).It also dragged on way too damn long (like the gacha) and lack of extra in-battle spritework actions/animations is very boring to look at since they're more focused on particle effects and the like (not as bad as OT1 which barely had anything). Unironically, I'd replay OT1 over OT0 if it had OT2's and OT0's QoL - I just can't handle how slow it is anymore.
>>739019179Welcome to the far right and disliking translations
>>739110284he did but it was a valid crashout
>>739112876>There you are reading the Octopath thread on your basket weaving forum>And all of a sudden, you're a nazi>You didn't ask for this>You didn't choose this>Yet there it is, horrible EN localizers
>>739112909No it wasn’t valid
>>739111149Kino
Has anyone tried to emulate 0?I've given it a spin, but I'm getting slowdowns whenever effects start to play. Don't think I'll be able to play it properly in this current state. Anyone had any better luck with the settings?
>>739118923No
>>738996129Cute sprite

>>739111149It was ok
>>739110284I can't justify him making Elrica suffer even more.Does the gacha have alternate universe shit where she isn't getting fucked over?I see the gacha has a good Pardis.
>>739130646I think so
>>739132914Well at least she has that.I was already feeling sad for her in chapter 5 but then Tatloch and Hell chapters further adds to the suffering context.
>>738996239Yes
0 is the best game in the series. That’s all
>>738996129The final boss of OT2 is pure RPG kino, i was shedding tears of hype just for the music and being able to play with all 8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVwJpIFfJs
>threads been alive for 2 daysblessed thread
>>739138625It's funny because in some ways OT0 has a complete dogshit story. Like the whole game of thrones influence is palpable. It's almost even comical at times. But I love the part of the story about rebuilding the village. And the actual gameplay and level design is the best in the series. And there's a lot of content. So even if the story is pretty trash, I still beat it while I never could finish all the 8 characters for OT1/2 just because the gameplay is a lot more boring, easy, and simple while the story might not be dogshit it's also just as boring as the gameplay.
>>739111054>>739111097I swear I watched a video from a guy claiming to be a consultant on the old English used in both games and discussing them. If I was mistaken my bad, maybe I'm misremembering and he was an unaffiliated third party just talking about them
reminds me that i have to beat OT0 once i finish KCD2
>>739139446Sex with Stia
>>739141998
>>739142767>tfw no Stia lewds existActually feels bad bros
>>738999760It was an English localizer making shit up for no reason, same as it usually is.
>>739139446It’s finna be 3 days soon unc
>>739145293For how relatively popular the series is, uts surprising.Most games get some autistic fans who do art for their niche series like say Summon Night for example.
>>739149737It sold well but that doesn’t translate to Internet popularity. Like on twitter most OT rarely reaches 1k meanwhile any doodle of a flavor of the week like the new cat girl gets a lot of boost
>>739139807>playing kcd2 Kek
>>739130646>>739134640That's part of the new Unchosen story.To whit, Elrica is also the first character to have a second variant/alt (her bride Dancer version because of that) which was unheard of at the time, but understandable because she is THE fan favorite in the gacha.
>>739145293>>739149737Many OT1/2 fans didn't have much of an opinion on the OT0-exclusive characters or the non-story-relevant units in the gacha because there's just too much of them. Either from skipping the game or not actually enjoying it as much as the OG 2.
>>739053756I hope they do something different with class/subclasses, either different starting classes or more or picking some sort of fusion class mechanic
>>739124342For me it's Ori
>>739053756>Hopes More catgirls>FearsLess catgirls
>>739154403Technically none of the Octopath have cat girls. They’re not in 1 and the Beastlings in 2 are more like catdogsquirrel creatures. 0 comes the closest but Isla is a boy. 0 is the only one in the series with cat girls with the 2 female cait sages and one of Ditrina costumes.
>>739154786I meant to type Champions of the Continent instead of 0 kek
>>738996129Sometimes I want to replay OT1 but it took me like 80hrs to finish the game the first time, I’m not sure I can commit that much time anymore…
>>739153304I see.I can see why. Elrica was pretty cool.
>>738996471THESE HANDS!
>>739156530How did you get a pic of Trump’s hands anon?
shooting for the fabled 4 day thread
>>739158023What did she mean by this
>>739156530achievable natty?
Should I continue with octopath 1 (I stopped when I finished all the chapters) or should I start 2?
>>739159428Storywise, you just need the (true) final boss in a sidequest but it's also a very annoying superboss that's exponentially more difficult than anything else in the game. Otherwise, just NPC quests for world-building.Just start OT2 instead.
>>739159759I think I'll fight a few more bosses and then play 2 still need to fight that giant snake with it's master in the desert
>>738996471>band chain garterthere's the sexo
>>739000462Temenos is insanely based. I'm very much mad about his bro.
>>739159428start with 0
>>739162267I don't have 0
Who else didn't bench Stia at all on their run.I'm actually surprised why this games has so many metafags who stop using the older units when the game is relatively manageable if you do the combat path actions regularly.Spoiler from BoA (Last story arc).
>>739163671I'm rather surprised that even after all this time they still haven't made Lebrandt a unit.
>>739164251Really?So disrespectful lol.Even that fight felt like it had no emotional weight despite him being relevant for a good while.Mahrez was like that too but at least he didn't interact much with Zero.
>>739164484I'm still waiting for Velnorte, of the characters that debuted in the masters arc he's my favorate.
>>739164484>mahrez actually became playable a while ago>meanwhile, lebrandt, velnorte, king dudek, rosso, and several others........
>>739164990Tressa's final boss is playable unit. Can you believe that?
>>739165723>sexy woman>gachaI mean, that's a no brainer especially since she's not Lyblac popping up.
>>739163671I kept Stia and Phenn the whole game. Phenn ultimate is good.
>>738996129I really like this sprite bros
>>738999605This
I remember playing OT1 and completely dropping it after the stories "merge".Is 2 any better?
>>739171245Yes.
Play the Elliot demo
is there such thing as too much added content in a sequel of a jarpig sloppa?
>>739174881Explain dear anon
