Bravely Default 2 Edition!>Bravely Default 2 Collab4/03 BD2 Part 1 - Ringabel and Gloria for two weeks. Chomper as a new Keeper, Plus a Free Adelle Seal.4/10 - BD1 (Adelle, Edea, Agnes) rerelease with Overclass and TP HIGHLY LIKELY. Also expect Osvald since Chapter 4 of The Chosen One is also coming out.4/17 BD2 Part 2 - Magnolia for two weeks. Airy as a new Keeper.5/01 - End of the BD2 Collab. Chosen One Chapter 5. Milgardi Arena Match.Good luck with your pulls!
Magnolia seems busted as fuck, but I will keep saving for Kaine. Mag's tempting 'cause most fights that aren't weak to sword tend to have a spear weakness, but I must hold strong since Kaine+Tiziano can cover it all, or so I'm told.Haven't pulled since August of last year, I hope Hikari+Castti are after the collab.Wish I could post the roadmap but the image limit is too small, it's posted here: https://x.com/octopath_cotc/status/1902915899008618624
Let see….W’ludai (Recycled)Theo (Recycled)Promme (Recycled)Viola (Recycled)Therese (Recycled)Cardona (Recycled)Tressa (Recycled x3)Cyrus (Recycled)Hayes (Recycled)Sertet (A2)Ringabel (A4)Gloria (Completed)
>>1725922>Wish I could post the roadmap but the image limit is too small, it's posted here:Compress the image you fucking lazy tard. I'll do it for you baka
>>1726044Thanks fren, this is why I'm lazy
I’m not sure what I want more. Chapter 4 of Chosen One or Part 2 of the Bravely Default 2 collab.
Three more days!Who’s ready for Osvald?
>>1726959I'm not. I dumped everything on A4 Gloria...
Newtard here, anniversary when? And what are the anniversary rewards? I've heard that we get 888 free rubies and I get to pick my wife Cecily for free
>>1727009You too? Well, at least I can save up for Magnolia.>>1727069In Global it was July. Since we’re SEA now, it’s gonna be in June.
>no thighs this weekIt's over, EOS when?
>>1728192So she's coming next week. Jeez, keep your shirt on, man.Also, I got a feeling that Magnolia won't be coming alone if you know what I mean...
>Adelle/Agnea/Elvis rate upzzzzzzz....
So, how should I prepare my teams to take on all eight chapters of the Bestower of All story and the ongoing Solistia story starring Saul? Should I start trying to clear the towers and game boards and unlock the arena after years of stalling, and what's the reccomendation for clearing the individual traveler tales?
>>1729412Definitely clear the game boards if you haven't already.
>>1729412>Should I start trying to clear the towers and game boards and unlock the arena after years of stalling, Definitely clear the entire arena except for the final champion fights since it gives you a pretty nice amount of rubies, which will be useful very soon
Passingbyfag here with a curious question. Is game finished yet? I watched youtube vid that the game has a final boss and ending so I am wondering about the state of the game.
>>1729709Kinda. The main game story is finished, but there's a new story that is set in the continent of Octopath Traveler 2 and that one is still unfinished
>>1729727Thanks. So they took the FGO route and still continuing.Guess I can look forward for more music, really the only reason I keep tabs on it.
>fail 80% influence check four times in a rowYup, gotta love arriving in a new town
>>1730453I never did get mikhail's pendant before en-us shut down. Sucks to get fucked by luck.
>>1732207I got it, but I regret it
What a ride
Calculations Complete.Also, quick reminder. Mirgardi has three sets of weaknesses:1. Sword/Axe/Ice2. Spear/Tome/Ice3. Axe/Thunder/Light
Any other day 1000 bros here?NetEase goofed again and all the archived letters are untranslated.
>>1734915Untranslated as in, they left the Japanese text in? Seriously?
>>1735261Exactamundo. Once you get 1000 letters, it unlocks a quest where you go visit Isla in the archives and he unlockes the Bond Log in your codex. It's an archive of all 1000 letters so you can reread them if you want. But I guess NetEase didn't count on anyone having played for 1000 days yet (likely 'cause SEA isn't that old), so the text for all the letters is completely untranslated.
What are they waiting to release the Ost Vol 2 in this side? SS is already over.
Well this was a pain in the ass.
>>1735694Damn, nice clear! I don't have Ochette or Kilns, so I'm sitting this one out.
>over 4000 rubies to Osvald's big pecs>Got the suicidal samurai and the incestuous knight dupes insteadT-Thanks.
>see that a paid 100 ruby guide gives me 10 dual fates fragments>decide to buy traveler's rest A so I can get the 220 paid gems and do a single paid guide to get the 10 paid step fragments + 10 fragments for pulling at the same time>only get 10 fragments instead of 20bros... all I wanted to do was get Jane early and have a decent amount of fragments for the next good dual fates banner... if I knew that I was going to burn 300 more rubies at worst, I would have never try to pull herI still had to spark her. It's fucking over. I bet that I am not even going to get Castti on the Hikari banner now
>>1735822FThat really sucks, sorry to hear. I'm waiting to get Jane with the free anniversary selector. I'm going for an axe team with her and Castti, and eventually Signa EX and Avar a year from now.
Side Solistia last chapter release was basically 2 in 1. Odds of Seed Story doing the same?
Piece of shit crashed on me when I got her into the red and had to start over.
>>1735694>the new EX forces you to field in the arena champion>Tikilin with that fucking lamb>Rittu with that shitty ass kit against the nasty master thief>Largo who without his taunt skill - given the pissed off merchant- is basically a dead weight>the dancer is manageable, but that fucking charm segmentThis is going to be hellAlso, welcome back you lovely fuckers
>>1725903>no more Octo podcast>the German FTP channel decided to stop uploading videos for his own sake and familyMaybe jumping to Sword of Corona or whatever it was called instead of taking a breather was a fucking bad idea after all.
>>1737312I thought Hunter Tower EX2 was gonna be way harder, but I gave it a casual try the other day and while I didn't win (I gave it zero prep), it doesn't seem like the boss was uberjacked or anything. The only notable thing was the hp being hugely buffed, I didn't see any new mechanics. I'm lacking all of the latest and greatest hunters, but I think I can get a clear when I 6* my Z'aanta later this month when I get more blue seals, so I should be able to beat it next time Hunter Tower is open.On an unrelated note, our man on the inside says Shana is coming this week so I'll finally be able to pull on a banner for first time since JULY 2024!She's a fantastic support that every player will want and you only need one copy of her, so I pray we all get lucky, bros.
>>1737416True, they have massive HP but at the same time some of them will become menace for that only. The Cleric and Warrior are the prime example for that.>On an unrelated note, our man on the inside says Shana is coming this week so I'll finally be able to pull on a banner for first time since JULY 2024!Are they the Mario bros? Shit I missed those fuckersIs Shana that babe that's supposedly one of Barrgello's? How is her U10 ?
>got Kilns and Ochette-chan>EX2 hunter still took me way too many attempsDamn, I can't believe I am this shit at vidya. Her last phase is just too fucking brutal, her AIDS straight up murder the dumb catSo now that my Yunnie is all maxed, fortune, cosmic or brilliant? And what skill to soul potency? I'm too retarded regarding weapons
>>1737498Yep, Luigi's still bringing it and yeah, Shana's the girl from that Bargello manga that still doesn't have a translation despite ten gazillion manga/manhwa/webcomics getting fan translations or even janky machine translations on the regs.I wouldn't worry about U10, U9 should be fine on her. It's kind of a shame her ultimate has an attack tied to it and isn't full support, would've been nice for U20.
>>1737741Does he come here or relocated to somewhere else? I missed him
>>1737753No idea, I'm getting his predictions (which have been right every single time so far) secondhand from people in the discord.
>>1737741Let’s say I got a duplicate, which to pick? A1 or U10!?
>>1737788Shard it for something more useful.
>>1737416Aaaaand there she isWhoever that mama mia is, he is the real deal
Since I'll pull Shana at exactly 4500 jewbies, which 6k memory guy should I pitty? Already got Isla, Kilns, Signa and Suszantos. Was interested in Bargello, but maybe getting Solon instead would be better because then I can ignore RyunieEx?
>>1737763>discordLoss
>>1738563I'd go for Bargello. He'll pretty much always be useful, especially if you're planning on running the core of Kaine+Tiziano because Tiziano wants 4 thieves in the party iirc and Bargello helps with that while also bringing passive buffs. Plus it means you can start working on buying a Bargello awakening stone from the exchange every month to get his A4, the best A4 in the game currently.
>>1738910Yeah, solon without Bargello or his a4 is just asking for cap problems. Bargello all the way.
>>1738910>>1738916nvm pulled her on my 6th single pull, get fucked lucklets lmao
I failed rolling for Osvald. No way I'm gonna roll for Shana.
>>1739132do it fgt
>>1739131Based. I got two copies of her on my second ten pull, I can't remember the last time I've been this lucky. Oh yeah, and I meant to say, I think Solon's gonna lose some of his desirability once we get the game-breaking damage dealers JP has like Kaine and Pardis because they have potency increase built into their own kits and it doesn't stack with Solon's ult.>>1739132Good luck bro!
Give me 3 reasons as to why I shouldn't turn Shana into a physical DPS. I have desperate need for axe+wind exploiters
>>1739543Low base attack stat. Sp condition on her double cast will likely eat into one of her accessory slots further reducing her damage. And there is only so much damage you can do with only 6 hits especially if she can't afford to equip a weaker brilliant axe to raise cap. Unless you are talking general story progress in which case go nuts.
Each of these is just going to be a pain in the ass, huh.
>>1739566>Unless you are talking general story progress in which case go nuts.I am talking about Hammy Ex3. She just seems to be built for that fight
Thief EX2 is NOT nice to me. Let me count the ways.The Trial Thief blocks weaknesses from the get-go (normally she does this after you kill her henchman) and she blocks four of them at that. The henchman seems to always block dagger making him harder to break.Meanwhile you got the henchman both adding shield points and putting shield guard on the Trial Thief. Also if you kill the henchman first, the Trial Thief gets three actions per turn.
>>1739616I always kill the boss before the minion on EX1, so this doesn't sound like a problem.
>>1739627Good advice. Glad I took it. The Henchman was child’s play compared to the Trial Thief.
>>1739652Nice, congrats! Glad I could help. For what it's worth, I do the same for the Apothecary boss, leaving the minion for last even though that means no regen healing.
English translation for Shana's manga just dropped:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b5PVbY8HiDAzYX0OTgOn1a7W9ZJhHVeI
So Global have finally reached the current version. Wonder if that will affect the chapter release timing. SS is already over, but one never knows.
>>1740225I wonder if OT3 announcement is around the cornerWhen was the SS announcement??? Was it after OT2 reveal trailer?
>>1739627>>1739652>>1739655What was the skills / attacks used on the boss? That little shit is annoying as fuck
>>1740557Canary’s Rapid Flutter does wonders in this round. Especially since the Trial Thief’s Shield Guard allows you to knock out three Shield Points before it kicks in.Meaning you can use it to target the Henchman first. And when you get to a point where the Henchman’s shield points are less than 4, you can target the Trial Thief instead.
>>1740553OT2 was only two years ago. OT1 was 2019.Team Asano was already busy with DQ 3-2-1, so I'd rather they not overwork themselves... and OT3 might end being worse than OT2 (hopefully not).
>>1740181>no mangadex>pdf formatbrehs how am I supposed to read this on Mihon?
>From "Twin Gods" to "God of Dual Fates"Netease...
>>1725903Finally done with this shit, Zaanta and Srgt.Kilin did a great pressure to the late yellow before falling… yes Hammy, stay there doing nothing you dumb bitch.My observation:>maybe Kilin‘s taunting is extremely bad idea in the long run especially past 70% health>Zaanta’s All Out attack is bliss>Yummi’s Dangerous Shot was extremely useful, the random ailments did help me greatly although I didn’t understand what Frostbite or Corrosion does > I don’t think I would’ve won if it wasn’t for Chole, my trust in my Sacred Dick was 100% worth it> I remember some said Hujib would’ve made this challenge a complete joke> Lucetta is bae, I cannot believe she’s 4 starsThief Challenge won’t be a cakewalk
>>1741756So Rique is next, eh?
>>1741756Out with itPlease
>>1741756Based prophetNow tell me when I am finally getting laid
>>1741756Correct yet againIs Rique buffed? Or better skip?
Hayle 6 star worth it?
>>1742518>8 cait sages>so far only 3 are playableWonder if they gonna release some in the next weeks along the final seed story
Accessory obtained. Now just need to wait for the other half.
>>1743413Damn, and with Tressa EX? Nice clear.
Which 4 star should I overclass to 6 and lvl up to 120 to solo the master tower? I want my rubies but I don't want to put effort
Ummm...new roadmap?
>>1744444Nice digitMy logic is they will never ever release 3 / 4 stars ever again and it’s a matter of time until you rank them all up to 6 starsI say pick whoever you like firstMine was Camilla
>>1743413> Tressa EXBasedCan you share the skills & equipments? Also did yiu drop all TPs on attack!?
>>1745363Give it another week I guess, we're technically still not done with the old one.
>6K pity for HuhbaeSo, do I pity Canary once I get almost fucked in my pulls?
>>1747014You mean Hujib the archer? I say yes she’s very valuable
>>1747014Definitely, she's probably the most valuable character I got on global. Can't imagine fighting a boss without her, any boss. Used her for pages and pages of EX3s in the adversary log.
>>1725903> dropping the pity to 150Pretty good
>>1747638Massive riot with everyone spamming their socials got that done last night. It's a good sign, we should be able to wrangle a 150 pity for Nier too.
>>1747638>tfw got him at 70 pulls + LeonImagine being a lucklet crying about pity lmao. Couldn't be meSpeaking of Leon, how good is he? I've gotten 7 Stead so far but no Cecily
>>1747875He used to be pretty good, but most people these days say his time is over. Spears/merchants, appropriately enough, are an expensive comp if you're gonna go down that route in the long run.
Full set obtained.
>>1748083Nicely done. I haven't invested in spears or bows, so I'm still waiting for TiziKaine to do the hardest stuff.

>>1750543>EX2 Warrior challengeFuck me!! This is by far the cringiest job challenge. Any tips to beat this son of bitch???Here’s a quick doodle I just made out of frustration
>>1750543Looks like Roland got his EX skill buffed, one extra hit (so it's 3 with Opportune Attack).
Stpry Chapter 6 in 2 weeksNier Collab in JulyBut where is the Seed Story Part 6?
Roadmap
>>1753699>ch6 in JuneTHERE ARE NO BRAK->no chapter in July or most of AugustNeat, they're finally pumping the brakes on SS main story. I figured they'd have to do it soon, otherwise our main story would catch up to JP by the start of autumn and still be missing a bunch of other stuff they have like wave battles and cross story. Speaking of, I wonder if that "new battle content" is wave battles.
>>1754580
>>1754604Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That's a lotta wave battles back to back, I'm glad I got Shana.
I wonder who we’re getting this week.
>>1755881Insiderchad here, it's Bargello rerun
>>1756562That’s it? I mean…I’ll take it. I’ve got him completed already. And I welcome the breather.Kinda thought we’d get Champions or Summer EX’s.
>>1756684I played a trick on you anon, there's no BargelloAlso Luigi is fucking dead
>>1755881The truth ended up being more disappointing than anyone could've predicted.
How f2p friendly is this and is this an okay way to jump into the series?
>>1758208Story is piss easy and can be done f2p. New challenge content is for whales only f2p need not apply. And no, play the originals.
>>1758208You do fine in Side Orsterra story mode. I recommend to not start Side Solistia unless you are finally in Orsterra latest story arc. This is a single player gacha, so there is no need of rushing it. Take your time.
>>1758208And yes. I recommend to play both games, especially the first one.
Holy shit bros, netshit redemption arc incoming
>>1759592Now we just need to see who the featured banner is.
Square Enix. It has been two years. Release the OST Vol 2 in the west already!
>tfw ochette hujheb kilns trio is so broken that I've already gotten all EX3 rubies from bow weakness bosses and also somehow managed to 1 attempt all 4 elite tower bossesHow harder are wave battles? My 150 day old F2P faggot ass is steamrolling the all of the endgame content now
>>1761561Damn, that's impressive. Maybe I should've went for bows, it's taking forever for dagger and axe to come out with their core characters. Only character I've pulled in a year is Shana.
Started a couple of days ago and im about to finish all the chapter 3's in orsterra - Im tempted to do the first recharge but my question is do I go for a new character (viola is pretty strong apparently?) or a dupe for lynette? I guess I should wait for the freebies first but im still asking to get an idea.
>>1762295Get Viola for her debuff abilities (and the more new travelers you get, the better). Just make sure when you pull a dupe of Lynette that you save the Awakening Stone for her U10.Basically, Viola & Lynette are the Dirty Pair of Orsterra with their buff/debuff synergy.
>>1762295I still use Viola to this day as breaker sometimes, haven't used Lynette since Prim ex came out and even without Prim ex, Pia fills in just fine. Wouldn't waste anything trying to ult 10 Lynette.
>>1725903Surprise, motherfuckers
Share codes faggots #CyDwVs
I'm so lost after finishing the ring story - too many unlocks at once and I dont know where to start. Also I think I luckshitted.>>1762375>>1762556Cool I'll grab viola then.
>>1762883What is this for? I didn’t update yet because it is fucking 1.5 gigs for some reason
>got Oskha in a second rollI'm glad but kinda scared. Is like I used all my luck in this one.
>>1762971Lucky basterdCongrats
>>1762971May be cursed with a thousand of Joses in your next rolls.
>tfw thought that the bars in the wish pages were the probability chances and bought one of eachStill won 6000 awakening shards kek. 2% chance for Bargello or 1000 rubies is retarded
>>1762812what the fuck is even a have-notIs bargayllo a have-yes?
nevermind i just check how to reply
>>1762971Dude really wants U10 (his ult is very important for him and got buffed wonderfully) and A1 (his patk is on the low side) so if you're really going for a spear team, get back in there, and good luck. Merchants are, fittingly, one of the most expensive comps in this game.
When you are in Ouma but not really.
>>1763787small indie developer pls understandu
>Make a wish for 150 Gold Orbs…
>>1764868>WOOO!!! I won! My wish came true!
>>1764869>But in the end, it turned out to be Fool’s Gold.Thaaaat’s NetEase for you!
>new 100 rubies quest chest is buggedCompensation for the emotional damages when?
>>1765064Now I guess. Why what happened? I got my treasure fine.
Mama Mia! It'sa been a long while, hasn't it, Luigi?>It sure-a has, Mario!Well with the new Chinese Overlords running the show, it's been-a hard to get good leaks that last more than a week! Fortunately it seems they did a bit of their own leaking! >It's about time! What kind of Leaks?The ones that tell you that they've been preparing to release-a the new travelers. >So...who are we getting?Well, first I'm-a gonna say that I know WHO'S-A coming out, but I don't know WHEN they're-a coming out. But chances are, if I'm right and we're finally getting Hikari and Cassti next week, then these are all gonna be July banners.>Holy Guacamole! It's been awhile since we've gotten a leak this big. Give us the scoop already!Well, first off, coming in hot off the summer, we're Looking at EX Bargello and EX Tatloch. A good eye will see that they already have their weapon icons ready.>Bargello's a Thief and Tatloch's a dancer...so we'll soon be gettting their EX's right? Dancer Bargello and Thief Tatloch.But that's not all we're getting as EX's. EX Rinyuu's coming in hot with her mad light skills and her potency buffs!>She's coming in pretty early! But I'll gladly have a spumoni with that sweetheart!
>>1766578Oh but it gets better! What if I told you, we're not getting Nier Replicant on the 17th of July?>Really? Are we getting Final Fantasy IV instead?Nope! For this particular Crossover, we'll be getting Tiziano and Dolcinea instead!>Tiziano and Dolcinea? But those are OCTOPATH characters!You remember how the Roadmap said there's a Crossover event coming next month?>Yeah?And you remember when they showed us the Dreadborn Tome?>That was a bit confusing, but also yeah.Well, that particular scene was the intro to the upcoming Cross Story! >Cross Story? What's that?It's Alternate Universe stories with characters from Orsterra and Solistia coming together. Imagine the Bargello Family, meeting with the Blacksnakes. Imagine Primrose dancing with Dolcinea.>Imagine a pizza pie with pineapples in it!So yeah. That crossover event they were talking about? No doubt it's Cross Story. >So where's the crossover?It's between Octopath 1 and Octopath 2!>My mind is like spaghetti right now.Well pull yourself togther, because there's one traveler I haven't mentioned yet? >Who?Relisha, the lightning cleric!>Well it's about time she showed up. She was in Chapter 3 wasn't she?Yep, and she's a Dual Fate's character. So a round on her Step-Up guarantees you get the girl!>But when are we getting these people?Hard to say. If I were a betting man, I'd say the week after next. When July hits.>Wowee zowee! We got an exciting month ahead of us!That we do, paisano! Well that's it for us!>We'll see you later! Whenever we can! Your guess is as good as ours!And remember to eat your pasta!
Neatease is the gift that keeps on fucking giving
Thanks for the Cassti, NetEase!
>>1766677>>1766684How do you even fuck up that hard?
>>1766583>turns out the crossover was with themselves all this timeNot what I was expecting, but I'm satisfied anyways
>>1766706When you've got a Chinese company managing a Japanese IP and all they care about is getting money, you realize there's a lot of shit they JUST DON'T CARE ABOUT.
>>1766583If it's not Nier I'm gonna lose my mind. At that rate, Solistia will be nearly done before Kaine releases.>>1766677This was fucking hilarious. I don't have the many hundreds of dollars it would be to straight up buy them right now though, so I'll wait til next week. Dammit, they delayed Hikari for so many months, it'll now be about 8 more months to exchange shards for his a4.
>HeI always knew that Casttifags chocked on cock
>Esmeralda>KazanWonder which baddie is gonna be the next? Mattias? Mugen?
Hey! We're back! And we have more info!>Oh wow! So soon?Yep! You remember those Weapon Souls that go revealed? Well guess what? We've got more of them!>What?! No way! Let's see we've got...Tiziano, Dolcinea, EX Bargello, EX Tatloch, EX Rinyuu...and Relisha. Who else is there?Apparently there's three more that have been revealed! Sowan, Alrond and Ori!>Holy cannoli! That's like...Nine weeks worth of banners!Actually, it's more like Seven. Eight if you count Hikari and Castti coming next week.>Huh? How do you figure?EX Bargello and EX Tatloch are coming in as a pair. So is Dolcinea and Tiziano. And that's if they decide not to condense any of the other banners.>So we could get Ori and Alrond paired together?Something like that. We basically know who's coming? We just don't know when. But if I've got the right of it, these next eight weeks are going to be an open book.>So many new travelers! Well we can only hope they get managed properly. Good luck, and happy hunting! If you come across any more Weapon Souls that haven't been revealed yet, let us know.>And remember to eat your pasta!
>>1766578>>1766583>>1767743Glad you guys still kicking, I’ve been checking your posts since 2023 or maybe before it>the summer bannerIt’s expected honestly or else they have to wait for another year, how good are they? Are they skip worthy?
>>1769000Bargello EX is lol fan damage but Tatloch EX is great for dark if you're planning to get Emil from the upcoming Nier Replicant collab since she implants dark weakness. Not really needed though, as there aren't any dark weak bosses that can't be killed by a better team and the most busted future damage dealers pierce dark in their kit anyway.As is appropriate for summer, it's basically just fan (pun unintended) service where they picked one of the best looking guys and one of the best looking girls to tempt people to spend.
Came back after a break and being mindbroken by the NetEase translation and I forgot how fun this kusoge can be. How is Sazantos EX? I don't give a shit about the guy, but Kain is my nigga and I will still pull for someone wearing his outfit.
>>1769349Hmmm the only 2 FF collabs that everyone hyped the fuck up are> Ophilia EX especially her unique A4 accessory> the freebie unit of all fucking thingsI barely heard anything about Sazanto EX and Agnea EX. For what I remember about him: you saw Magnolia from Bravely Default? Especially her Fly attack? Now imagine most of the kit revolving around that gimmick
>>1769349Saz EX is kinda meh, basically Magnolia like the other anon said. He gets mogged by buffed Oskah who released a couple weeks ago, doesn't really have much of a space on a meta spear team.If you wanna pull solely for your love of FF4 and Kain, go for it.
Whalechad here, going for 200 pulls to farm Hikari A4Do I pity Osvald since I already Isla or do I pity Agnea because big peaches?
>>1770195If you're a whale, then get Agnea. She has a nice A4.
>>1770195Osvald ONLY good with his 3 elements and nothing else, Agnea is BAE + useful pretty much everywhere + her A4 is busted
>Castti's passive translationsHow can someone nuke both reddit and discord?
3 teams set, but only needed the one. Ochette stronk. Also fuck cerpahina and fuck that apothecary ex faggot. Rng status effects and cutting your hp in half what bullshit.
>>1725903Am I the only one who finds S.Solistia overall plot.. or let’s just say Saul/Sail’s story is way more underwhelming comparing to Ossreta’s?I don’t think it’s the fault of the infamous typos, it’s just by chapter 5 I still don’t care about this guy.. what did I learn so far?> his mother probably used to fuck Satan or something> at one point she had second thoughts, so she escaped the cult alongside several others> the cult started their plot by fucking over her and using Sail’s inner evil to find Ouma logs to summon the Great WillSo far nothing earth shattering plotwise, it’s just cult vs this kid who’s definitely have a demon within that may show up very soon.Most of what I enjoyed in SS are basically the side plots such as:>the OT2 casts and what they were up to before their game>the dude who is searching for his brother who stuck in the Ouma dimension>Greig’s reason of why she is wearing that big ass helmet in OT1 which I find it cuteWithout spoilers, is the main plot going to improve in future chapters??
>>1773002I don't know anything about the future chapters except the big dumb twist, but it seems universally agreed that the SS story is shite.
>>1773002>Without spoilers, is the main plot going to improve in future chapters?lol. Outside the good lore dump in the latest chapters, expect disappointment upon disappointment. An the final is garbage for so many reasons. Many JP fans agree that SS feels like an experimental story with nice concepts, but a slow and poor execution.>>1773007It was a nice twist if the black bookmark stories is taken in consideration, but I think the main problem for most people is why had to be HIM instead another god.>"Hey we have two new mysterious gods. Nice, maybe they will elaborate further about the gods origins in Soli->Turns out both of them are fanatical apostles of that god.In the early OT2 development, Gal was supposed to have an active role unlike in the OG, but was later replaced by Vide, and relegated to extra boss again. SS is basically the scrapped ideas for OT2 turned into a storyline.
Talking about the gods, it's criminal how they basically introduced the primordial deity "Solis", but the only stuff we know about him is that he sent one of his soldiers to fight one of Gal's fanatics and nothing else. BoA is definitely the weakest storyline of the 8, but the very prologue had more lore about the gods than every SS chapters put together. As a late addition, I wasn't expecting the writers to recognize Vide, but it's kinda disappointing there wasn't even a mention of them in the solistian chapter. Unless they are planning to release another DLC in the OT2 explaining their backstory.
Maybe I'm just soft but I really like how there's an option to give some of the Hell NPCs the ability to move on. The first person I even checked was the burning guy and I was happy to see him as an option.>>1773007nta but that's disappointing to hear, guess I'll see it when I get to it since I only ran the first chapter of SS so far. Still catching up on Orsterra but overall I've found myself enjoying it more than I expected. Evil Elrica's theme fucking bangs.
Bros, my Hikari isn't soloing the ex2 arena fights for the awakening shards. What the hell is wrong with him? I thought he was brokenDo I really need Richard support?
>>1774375He's not that broken. Everyone needs at least some form of team support/synergy. This isn't like his source game.
>>1774391What does he need to be good? Only staples that I have are prim ex, Signa and ShanaDo I seriously need to wait for Ryuni ex since I don't have Solon to finally make Hikari good? Dude's still underwhelming after his 7 turns
>>1774069>Evil Elrica's theme fucking bangs.Yeah, it's fucking amazing and gets stuck in my head.>>1774375Hikari's not considered particularly good by anyone, people pull him because he has the best A4 a f2p player can reasonably expect to get.No idea which retard told you he's broken, but they took you for a ride. You still should've got him though, so gratz on getting him. Hopefully you didn't have to go all the past pity to get him like I did.
Bruh
>>1776824fucking kek
>turns out the collab isn't Nier>it's FFIVFUCKGood luck to that Kainbro going for Saz EX though!
>discord apparently killed the Mario BrosWelp. No leaks for a good while, I suppose.>>1777753Weird af. Wasn't Nier collab before FF4 in japan?
>>1777753Let’s say they didn’t buff any of them to fuck, who is the best one? I heard it was the freebie one THEN Ophillia EX for her unique A4.>>1777806> Wasn't Nier collab before FF4 in japan?Yes, but the logic is kinda obvious:Nier collab was so good so people assumed FF4 to be busted…. Nope it was ass overall. So them swapping places now makes sense
>>1777753I'm actually super fucking mad about this because I went all in for best girl Castti and had to go to pity, I was under the assumption that we were like a year away from this. Scraping together what rubies I can in a panic. Don't think I'll be able to hit the pity now but I'll settle for getting any of the units at this point, Kain > Rydia > Rosa in that order. Sad that Edge got cucked over from the the final five though, would have liked to see him there.
>>1777823>Let’s say they didn’t buff any of them to fuck, who is the best one? I heard it was the freebie one THEN Ophillia EX for her unique A4.You heard correctly. Rydia/Ophilia EX has a great A4, but it's a collab A4 so that's whale-only territory. Cecil is still the best tank in JP to this day, so while it's devastating to me to have to wait even longer for Kaine (I've been eagerly anticipating this collab since its reveal on JP years ago, it's the only thing that kept me going during global's dark days), it does offer me the opportunity to regain some rubies after Hikari+Castti fucked me up (180 pulls for ONE Hikari, traded in my pity for Castti).So unless you're a huge FFIV (which is understandable, there's a lot), this whole collab is a skip. Just make sure you do the limited time missions to max out Cecil for free. Before you ask, I don't know what they entail, sorry.>>1777896Sorry to hear bro, best of luck to you. Collabs seem to be every three months or so, so this was always gonna be three months away at best, or maybe six if they put a rerun between Nier and it. But now it's coming and I hope you can somehow get them all.Someone getting Edge's outfit and becoming a thief would've been really cool, yeah, with fire/ice/lightning scrolls it would've been a great fit for Cyrus EX imo if they hadn't used him on DQ3.Maybe FFIV'll get a second collab one day like BD and Nier. I'd want Edge, Golbez, Edward and...idk, probably Cid cause IV's Cid was one of my fave Cids.
>>1778069> I've been eagerly anticipating this collab since its reveal on JP years agoI absolutely hate to ACKTUALLY a brother, but it wasn’t that long ago. The announcement was mid June last year so we just passed the 1 year anniversary
>>1779218Really? Jesus, it feels like 2 years ago. Hell, it feels like 3 but I know it wasn't that long.You just made me double check, the reveal was near the end of February 2024, so close to 1.5 years ago. Damn, so it could actually hit the 2 year mark by the time we actually get the Replicant gang.
I feel like I need a dagger character but I also feel like its too late to grab viola from the first time recharge. Is there going to be anything cockblocking me difficulty-wise after clearing bestower of wealth or am I fine?I do have hikari so im probably just asking a dumb question.
>>1779778The final bestower arc has a pretty big difficulty spike. You really don't need a dagger unit, just focus on 2~3 DPS and have the rest support the party. Viola is pretty decent because she can debuff pretty well and she also has a 4 hit shield shave, so you can splash her on any lineup as a support
>>1725903>you can disable or 5x the encounter rate at any time FUCKING FINALLYNow I can farm the Ouma shit without getting interrupted by tough shitheads with extremely low drop rate>>1779510There’s a good chance I mixed up between reveal and release. Because I remember a stream around June was featuring the bannerAlso the dark age we’ve been through it felt like an eternity
>>1780359Bestower of power was awful holy shit. Going in blind into that one was a mistake.
>>1780876Trying to beat Tatloch with only hasumi for healing and no regen setter on release was suffering. She gets charmed and then doesn't heal for a few turns and it's game over. Eventually pulled it off thanks to rng paralysis.
>>1780960I actually missed one of the ships the first time I tried so you can guess how that one went. Fame on the other hand was easy again.
Is Olberic defend spam good enough to warrant overclassing him to 6 star to bear Yan Long ex2 or is that retarded?
>>1781260Latter.
>>1781261How the fuck do I beat Yan Long ex2 then? His final phase deals insane damage and my Kilns is useless this fight
>>1781264Olberic still has defend as a 5 star, just slap an hp fortune sword on him. And it's better to just wait for cecil than waste the materials on olberic.
>>1781304But muh 300 shards
>>1781348He still needs to full boost to cover either way. I don't think 6 starring him will make a difference to you winning.
>>1781369I got AlauneEX and Kilns can spam the party BP boost skill and I can also give him a BP boost keeper in case I fuck up the BP economy. Giving him 6 stars would upgrade his defend from 60% to 90% which is definitely enough to solo tank YanI'm out of ideas man. I'd probably upgrade him already and try it myself, but I don't even have him at 5 stars lmao
>>17813836 star level 100 Olberic was the answer. Dude is insane in braindead turtle teams holy shit.
>>1781584CongratulationsRingabell helped me to kill his EX3 ass, but I needed to play between keepers carefully>Akala + Meowvolus stacking up>Chomper at the breakTo delete his HP before he summons his damn crows who never showed up in his story for some reason
> her and Leon 6 stars are coming upHow are their upgrades?? I remember there were people thrusting over her both for her and her kit. I spooked one a while ago and honestly I have no idea how do I use her
>>1781935She looks VERY stinky
I caved and did a round of the paid select before it leaves. Narrowed down my choices to either>Nephti (cute, can join the axe squad with Castti)>Isla (apparently makes a nice team with Cyrus/Osvald but also a c*t)Are there any other standout choices from the list? Already have Barg/Signa who seem to be top picks from some stuff I've read.
>>1782518Depends if you wanna go axe or elemental. I prefer axe and love my Nepthi, but I'm biased toward axes. Sounds like you already have the best picks.
>>1782518Get Isla. We all love caits here.
There are too many pets I'm so lost with that system holy shit.
>>1782725What exactly has you confused?
>>1782725Do people even use pets?
>>1782813They are good stat sticks, I love the white rabbit for making someone go first with its high speed.Lulu (Lolo's squirrel) can give someone essentially infinite SP, fun to use on someone like Fiore EX.Chomper is essential, everyone should go buy it from the awakening shard exchange. It's a huge damage buff, capping a unique category of buffs all by itself. Airy is great for things like cascade battles, which seem to be the new endgame content going forward, as she gives you infinite uses of your ultimate with a long cooldown.The bunny that provokes enemies has some niche uses too.
>>1782795Too many pets, too many sklls to remember and im not actually sure if there are any worth investing into outside of them being statsticks. I guess >>1782836 kinda answered my questions already now.
>>1782855You can just name them after their abilities so you don't have to remember anything. While naming them look at the cool downs for their first usage and assign the ones you think "I'd like to use that a turn earlier" to a hunt team.
I haven't played in months, is the netease translation still shit?
>>1782953Still machine translated, but now they have free volunteers to add memes to it if that's your thing. I don't read the story at all anymore and just set it to auto a battle happens.
Are the step-ups worth going for as a new f2p shitter? I have olberic and 8k rubies. I dont really plan on rolling anytime soon and this seems pretty great to fill out some job slots that I dont really have right now.
>They activated the ff4 collab quest early so they have to go on a second maintI love freebies.
>>1783062Nah, they're terrible. You're even getting a free Cecil next week which will last you through the entire game.ALSO, do the new special feats that give you 7th adversary A B shards. With 280(?) shards you can select two units for free in about 3 days. If you're a new player then see if you can finish their quests asap so you can get 220 shards
>>1783062No.
>>1783073>>1783076Cool I'll ignore the step-up then. Any recommendations on the two picks?
>>1783093Cyrus is hands down the best oneTherion is great for the main story since he can generate infinite SPDon't know if both are in the same exchange pool, if they aren't then I'd pick up both
>>1782953Got a bit better, yeah. Seems they have some proofreaders at least.Hate when they shove their memes and had the nerve of claiming those are good localization (looking at that discord mod).
>>1783093>>1783100I hear Therion's 6* upgrade (which he just got with this patch is great), so my vote is for Therion.
>>1783100>>1783355I was hovering both of those choices already because I liked them in OT and it looks like I can grab both of them - easy choice then.
Do you guys hoard your sacred guidance rolls for something or do you just throw them out randomly? I kinda wanna hoard mine until they add ochette to the pool whenever that may be.
>>1783751I use them immediately because I'm desperate to pull my wife Cecily. If you don't care about pulling a certain unit, then maybe hoard so you can reduce the chances of getting Yukes>mfw netease gives me a middle finger and doesn't add a free general selector next anni
>>1783751By the way, Ochette will never be available on sacred seals. Check the ingame compendium, the hoardable seals only give you units from the general pull, the largest one.
>>1783403Nice. I'm glad the ones I wanted most (Olberic A3 and Prim A1) are in different pools too so I can get 'em both.>>1783751I spend them as soon as I get 10. I desperately want Jane, I should've saved mine for her but I couldn't resist. Probably wouldn't make a difference though. My pulls with traveler's seals and free pulls are hilariously atrocious compared to when I spend rubies, often requiring hundreds of pulls to get a mediocre 5* dupe.And like the other guy said, limited travelers are never available from traveler's seals. Almost every single banner you see will be limited, I think there's only a couple more gen pool travelers coming at most.
>>1725903What the hell is “Daul Fate” ???? This banner has been here since forever but I just noticed it
After months of putting it off, i finally beat Hammy, the fucking bitch. Toke a couple tries too. Now considering where we are at this point in the game is worth it to invest in her? Or should i just forget about it?
>>1784639Nah, don't bother with her. Congrats on your win though. I finally beat her EX3 fight a few days ago thanks to a great f2p vid I saw on youtube but I don't think I'll ever use her. Decent A4 though.
>>1784656Oh right the EX fights. Could you link the video? I really don't wanna spend god knows how much time on this cunt again.
>>1784676Sure thing, it's gold:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUz6v33QQ6UI was amazed he didn't have U10 on Solon or Signa. No awakenings on anyone, free accessories only.
>>1784878Thank you, I have all of these characters except for Sonia. I'll have to find a substitute for her and i also need to level up some of the other guys as well. Man, the wait for Pardis is killing me. Some much rubies i refuse to spend until i get him.
Started replaying the original octopath and I'm amazed how much I forgot between its release and cotc. I thought so many of the characters, like Miles and Therese, were completely made up filler for cotc.
>>1785123Me tooMy mind blown moment was the dude who kept molesting Primrose. Turns out he was the one who showed up by the end of Master of Fame story… now add to it the shit that happened in Bestow of Fame abd you will get a further bigger picture like why he didn’t age at all.
>>1785123> ThereseI am surprised you forgot about her. I couldn’t forget her nor forgive her for throwing Cyrse under the bus by accusing him of sexual misconduct with the princess only because she wanted his dick for herself.When her banner released back then I was “hell no I am not getting this bitch”Take a guess how that ended up? I spooked her like 8 different times
Talking about Therese, it's a shame Mary wouldn't be a playable unit.
>>1785123>>1785316Is Therese well liked in JP or something? I'm just astounded by the fact that she got an alt for the DQ event which I'm assuming she was picked since people liked her. Thankfully my account hasn't been bricked by having her on it.
>>1785741There was an anon last year who said something like: she joined the church to ask for forgiveness for smearing Cyrse, especially when you see the Two characters in the background.Since then I couldn’t unsee it
>FFIV characters are getting global buffsoh shit
>>1787089FUCKING WHAT?!a) that's awesome and b) I gotta go see if this changes my pull plans.
>>1725903>>1769349Wake up some FFxCotc update:SazEx:>Double Jump: 4hit > 6hit>Fang & Claw: Also lower phys def and spear res by 10%>Ulti lv10: 8hit > 12hit>Ex: Also lower phys def and spear res by 30%AgneaEX:>Miracle light: HP barrier 1000 > 2000 > 3000>Cure: Frontrow > All allies>Blessed Shooter: 3hit > 4hit, Frontrow > All allies>Wildshot: 6hit > 8hit at max boost>Ulti lv10: buff 10% > 15%, also add phys/elem def>Ex: 2hit > 6hit, condition removedOphiliaEx:>Passive: 15% eatk at full hp > perma 30% eatk>Meteor: 6hit > 8hit at max boost>Leviathan: added 100k cap for the skill>Ulti Lv10: Can use 3 times>Ex: Increased potency, added 50k cap, no condition, 3x usage
>>1787612I hope Kainbro gets and enjoys his new and improved Saz EX. I will only be getting Cecil, but I'm looking forward to having the best tank in the game, even in JP apparently.
Retard here, what's the best soul weapon and souls for Cecil? Bro has 99x free souls but I am still much of a retard to test
>>1788610I am still learning his kit, however I heard metafags in JP found him extremely useful as a tank
Got my Kain and swept the banner at 10 pulls in. Total haul>Sazantos EX>Agnea EX 3 fucking times>Ophilia EX>Nona (new)and Chloe (A4)Chloe is some surprising timing since it looks like her A4 is almost perfect for Agnea? I'm tempted to go in on the remaining 5 pulls to pick up another dupe for Kain so he can at least be U10.
>>1788760Hell yeah bro, congrats! And with the free Agnea stone, looks like you got her A4 too!>I'm tempted to go in on the remaining 5 pulls to pick up another dupe for Kain so he can at least be U10.If you have the rubies and you wanna use him a lot, definitely go for it. Who knows, you might lucksack a dupe and get U10 AND A1. But his U10 is his best use of a stone. Dude's ultimate can hit harder than any attack in the game, I've heard it can hit damage cap without the enemy being broken. Good luck!
>>1789224Taking both turns of break to do limits his damage pretty good.
Sazantos and Ochette on the same team sure can put up some lopsided numbers.

Ummm... Hello? FF4 Collab Part 2?
>>1794404lol
>>1794404Next week. The collab event lasts a month so they’re gonna post the rest of the collab next week, giving us two more weeks to finish everything.
Is there a priority on beating/getting arena champions? I tried the hammy fight but I got trashed.
>>1794872Yan's a4 good. Getting him as soon as you can clear the fight is advised.
>>1794872Hammy is a tier above the others, the only one harder is the only Solistia champ released. Their release order was Tikilen, Glossom, Varkyn, Ritu, Gertrude, Yunnie, Yan Long, Largo, Hammy, Midgardi iirc. Most people consider Ritu's fight the easiest but anything before Hammy should be easily stomped with 6* characters. Yan Long is very good for Cleric Training tower and like Anon said, his A4 is one of the best in the game for your breaker because it lowers passive pdef. None of the champs are particularly good to use outside of him, but overclass might change that for some (I hear good things about Yunnie but I didn't invest in bow). That won't be for a long time for you though, if you're just talking about clearing the initial fights.
>do 5 ads>2 prolonging woods and 3 20x experience nutsOoof, time to stop giving Netease my ad money
>>1794895>>1795109I did beat yan long and tikilen earlier today so thats a goal I can work on before the tower shop resets. I saw the a4 for varkyn and I might try to beat that one before reset as well.I only started working on checking out the more unique accessories and man it feels like a lot.
>>1795115Yeah, the chances of rubies lowered too iirc. At least I got some awakening shards today. Speaking of NetEase, you guys hear about the CN scandal? Some of the worst egg on their face that I've heard of.
>>1795284Looked into since you brought it up. Didn't bother checking the full buff/debuff history but seemed like pretty low ranking incompetence. Sounds like they'll be taking more feedback from now on though to try to keep it from happening again.
>>1795284>At least I got some awakening shards todayNice! Now you just have to roll that ad reward 199 more times to get a full awakening stone
>>1795625Only 199? Seems doable. I swear my luck on the ad gacha is so much better than the real gacha. Something around the equivalent of pulling in 5* in less than a ten pull almost every single day, it's crazy. Guess they're pumping the brakes on that though.
The difficulty spike in bestower of all has been a mixed bag but chapter 8 is hilarious. Unsure how to prepare for all that but I dont plan on looking up guides so thats on me I guess.
>>1797202Same, I just got past BoA 7 which was a huge mixup for me and BoA 8 seems appropriately difficult. figured something was up when the game prompted me to make 3 teams
Mysterious Corridor coming up in a few days for JP. It’s a randomly generated dungeon where you fight and get a special currency as a reward.What are your hopes and dreams? For me, I’m hoping they use this to replace the Ouma Realm shit for gathering light crystals. That shit’s gonna be obsolete once The Chosen One ends.
>>1797815I felt like I was ready for whatever bs the game would throw at me but here we are. Maybe I suck at building parties but Its cool that I get to work on new characters now.
>rinyuu ex this earlyOh boy time to spook the Bargello that I had to spark 1 month ago
>>1725903Man I wish that was my armBtw, I am sitting on 4 awakening stones for Sophia- spooked them on different occasions- and I was thinking of sharding them … now with this new sexy banner exclusively made for Ice , should I get upgrade Sophia for her accessory?
>>1799116How good is she? Is she seriously replacing Solon?
>>1725903Which Dual Fates generic banner is worth chasing?? I heard some here said something about upcoming generic unit that’s so good to pass up
>>1799229She's okay. Not essential. Luxury character for sure.
>Rinyuu EXHuh? Isn't too early for her to be released in global?
>>1799370Yeah, Netease got some plans thoughI won’t be shocked if they announced the entire Summer banners including the new ones tomorrow
>>1799220Holy fuck, this game is REALLY good at picking its summer characters! Really hope this redeems Eltrix from utterly meh to at least usable. I like both these characters a lot, especially Eltrix, next summer's gonna be lit.>>1799229>Is she seriously replacing Solon?Yes. Solon's only really used for her ult, and her ult is Solon's ult with more effects added. And unlike him, Rinyuu EX has skills and passives that help your party, like everyone restoring hp and sp whenever they switch rows. Plus she got buffed for global.You don't exactly need her, but you will be happy if you get her and if you can spare some rubies, I recommend picking her up. A lot of strong damage dealers like Pardis and Kaine give themselves potency up so they don't need Rinyuu's ult because it won't stack, but notably Black Knight wants a source of potency up. He's the best damage dealer in the game and you will see Rinyuu EX in every Black Knight clear for that reason.
Idiot here, is Rinyuu EX good with DPS Ochette? I have no idea if the ult potency buff works with salt the wound
>>1725903>new OT rumor coming out>possibly Octopath Travelers Zero
>>1799898CONFIRMEDYears ago I speculated here that they may release an offline version for Osstera arc since many OT fans skipped Cotc because it’s gachaFUCKING CALLED ITbut I didn’t predict they will flatout remake it
I am fucking ecstatic to hear this. And it's a """remake""", I was hoping they'd at least do a half assed offline client but this is above my expectations. I just wish SE would have done the same for Final Fantasy Record Keeper or Opera Omnia (rip, not even JP survived like RK did)
>>1800127yea I can forget about cotc now. we basically have it in single player form in december
always hoped this would happen but never thought it actually would
>>1800222i mean non gacha form*sorry my brain broke
>>1800225Other than Side Solistia content but eh....
>>1800227But also without the ESL AI translation
>could recognize Aelfric's wolf form and that sub dungeon of the Gate of Orsa in the producer videoHuh, neato! Seems they gonna use Side Orsterra stuff to cover the narrative gaps (impossible challenge) between prequel and sequel, although having the 8 main from OT1 is a weird take, if that was their intention.Wonder if they gonna do the same with Solistia. A Side Solistia rework could work too.Kinda hyped for the superbosses. Expecting Galdera electric bungaloo 3 and maybe the 7 remaining gods.
>>1800227Side solistia sucks ass anyways.
And after many months of putting it off waiting for Cecil cape cold lvl 120 down.
>>1801195Nier CrossoverBDII CrossoverBDII Part II CrossoverSolistia Chapter VII next yearSeed Story part 6 nowhere to be seen

All that’s missing are Herminia, Tytos, Auguste, Ex Lumis and EX Millard.
>>1801195>>1801229>>1801248Not only that, I feel they did this intentionally to release new stuff alongside Zero release date.
Just pulled Soleil, is it worth maxing her to level 120 and go max magic build? She has the "heals everyone while on backrow" TP passive which seems like it would trivialize apothecary EX5 2
>>1800227Solistia is a terrible step down from the Orsterra side, I'm glad it doesn't look like it's in Zero.Also, CotC has collabed with every HD-2D game, so I'm betting we'll get this new Elliot red mage guy who's starring in the first H2-2D action rpg.
>>1802001Star Ocean though.
>>1802304Not a Team Asano game. It's like a lowercase hd-2d game, 2.5 D, instead of HD-2D. The HD-2D games are all done by Team Asano using their proprietary technology/engine, which is also why they look so samey. I might be wrong, I think they have a trademark on "HD-2D", which is why you see stuff like the Dragon Quest remakes having HD-2D in the title. There are certainly games coming out that try to ape that style, like the SO2 remake, but when I say HD-2D games, I'm just talking about the Team Asano ones, and CotC's gotten a collab with each one so far.When we consider Team Asano games that aren't HD-2D, we've also got the BD collabs but come to think of it, we don't have a collab with Various Daylife, making it the only one of TA's games not to collab with CotC afaik.
Welp JP is going to reach Part 6 soon…Might as well get you up to speed.Part 1 - Master of Wealth/Power/FamePart 2 - Master of AllPart 3 - Bestower of Wealth/Power/FamePart 4 - Bestower of AllPart 5 - The Chosen OnePart 6 - Cross Story
Hirohito announced they are planning something for CotC's global players.>>1802599>Icon is featuring the reapers appearing in the cross story. Hmmm... So, could I take that B09 folder in the files suggests that Cross Story is a basically a sequel for BoA?
>>1802630Not really. Bestower of All 9 doesn’t exist. So the Reaper’s been repurposed to be the main antagonist of the Cross Stories instead.
>>1802630>Hirohito announced they are planning something for CotC's global players.Sounds ominous, you're making me nervous. Especially given the latest roadmap is padded with reruns with no new story.
>>1803129Some people think it might be english voice acting but the video releasing to CN via taptap makes me think it’s something bigger than that. He talked about how cotc and zero are “siblings” which is interesting.I really hope zero has the cast of cotc in it but unfortunately the signs are currently pointing to no, which is stupid because the ot1 gang is in there but the 8 characters from the game you’re basing this off of aren’t there? I don’t want the 8 cotc characters to be relegated to mobile game limbo, I really like them (huge cope for their swimsuit subjobs to be in zero).I’m just hoping there’s a way to preserve our own characters that we worked hard to get and come to enjoy, I really hope that this project exclusive to non-jp players is that preservation.
>>1803183>I really hope zero has the cast of cotc in it but unfortunately the hich is stupid because the ot1 gang is in there but the 8 characters from the game you’re basing this off of aren’t there? Ye. That part confuses me a lot too. It's supposed to be a prequel of the main game. Their adventures hadn't even begun (unless they are planning doing some timeskip in game after ringbearers arc, but seems unlikely). Did they feel cotc8 weren't representative enough, so they shoved the og8 so they can say it's an octopath game setted in Orsterra? By the producer's words, I suppose we can expect at least some dlcs for zero. Fingers are crossed.
>>1802667B0X not necessarily means "Bestower". Master of Wealth is "B01", for example. One can say the "B" folders are for Orsterra's main story files.
>>1803192Ruling out dlc is tempting since team asano doesn’t do that, but this game has a digital deluxe version which they’ve never done before in the octopath series. Dlc might be a possibility, it’s the closest thing to paying to obtain characters like cotc but without the gacha, here’s hoping they have them as dlc or something.
>>1803183They technically have COTC characters in it. But only the story characters, like Tytos and Bargello and Eltrix.It’s a retelling of Octopath COTC done in Console Form. But unfortunately, the overhaul means we won’t be getting the Chance Encounters or Sacred Blaze characters we know and love.They might let us use the COTC 8 if we’re lucky. But with Nameless Town getting replaced with Wishvale, that means no Nephti (which sucks). And the chances of seeing Isla and the other Cait Sages seem pretty slim too.
Wonder how customization works I Octopath O.
>>1803267I’d be happy if we just had the cotc 8 playable, I don’t expect them to have the 100+ characters playable or even include all of them in some way. My ultimate copium and unreasonable hope is that the EX jobs for the cotc 8 are worked in so that their main job switches to the appropiate class (since learned skills replace subjobs in this game). They can rework some of the chance encounter characters as npcs to recruit to wishvale since inviting characters to our town is a path action and they give bonuses. So it would be cool if they were difficult to recruit but they give a nice town bonus.
is there a site to quickly check all 6 stars? and which of the 4* and 3* do i take all the way to 6?
>>1803417https://octopathcotc.notion.site/cd888b135e0640cc8f31ce0d181af022?v=6e335ea51dd743d8a8b8bfb72775a90dI'd keep hoarding 4 star seals and sacred seals. None of the characters are worth overclassing, aside from Lucetta and Mabel since they're actually useful, BUT you might eventually want to do so once you decide to get the 600 ruby reward in master town that requires you to only use 4 stars. Once you reach that point, maybe overclass Pia since she's a great tank in any fight and overclass the 4 passive backrow healers for extra magic and thus extra free healing
>Got Yukes>checked his skillsThe hell is the point for this character as an unit?
>>1803518>Got Yukeslol
>>1803518You know how in any prize draw there's a bunch of duds put into the box to prevent people from easily pulling out the real prize? That's what Yukes is.
>releasing tatloch ex before EmilRude, but I'm still gonna gamble for her because I am mentally deranged
>>1801248Well shit…there goes my prediction…They went with EX Bargello and Ezx Tatloch first,
>>1804419100% this, my brother from another mother
can we fully awaken cecil and get the u10?
>>1805456Yep, for free. Get on it, you only have a week left. You need to do Side Solistia Ch1 to unlock the FFIV collab, but the collab itself takes place in Orsterra. Between the login bonus and completing the two parts of the collab, you'll get 5 stones for A4+U10 on Cecil. The collab's also very easy, I think even a brand new account should be able to clear it. But you gotta do it before time runs out.
>>1805681Is any unit worth a reroll right now? I've done it for Signa, got her + Alaune ex, then I tried for Rinyuu ex, but I'm already 90 rolls in and only got some standards like Molu, Theo, Sofia, Millard and Jillmena. Wondering if I should keep this account or just go all into a new one
>>1806422If you got Signa, keep. Arguably best character in the game, considering she's been permanently used by everyone even up to today in JP.
Thanks. I kept the account and kept rolling for Rinyuu, ended up having to get to pity with nothing even remotely good from those 150 rolls.Is this team good enough or should I change someone? I feel like most of my characters deal no dmg, but idk if it's because of my team or their gear. I'm trying to use one of each weapon and my unused 5*s are Sofia, Hasumi, Alaune ex, also got a bunch of 4* and 3*s while trying to get Rinyuu.
Think i might cave and pull on the FF4 banner just once.
>>1807516I thought Cecil was only good at tanking and mediocre to awful in anything else, or am I misremembering
>>1807552I don't have the slighest idea, that's why I'm asking if it's a good enough team or if I should have some replaced. I just got Barrad while trying a single 10fold on FF's banner so he replaced Devin for now, but idk if I can make it any better with the characters I have right now.
>>1807523So i decided to pull on the banner. I got nothing. I'm not pulling again. Saving all of my rubies for Pardis.
>>1807516Signa and rinyuu get you most of the way for support, but ditch devin, millard and wingate for pia, billy and madelaine (when you can 6 star her, as she gains a damage buff at 6 stars).
Question: Say you have both EX Bargello and EX Tatloch at A4. But you also have your 150 fragments.Who do you spark to Ultimate 10?EX Bargello - P.ATK & E.ATK 10%, Dancer Potency 100%.EX Tatloch - Random 8-Hit Dark that lowers Dark Res. 15% with each hit.
>>1807516>I feel like most of my characters deal no dmgThat's because you don't have any of the good damage dealers, but hold tight and you'll get some gamebusting ones in a month or two at most. What you have there is fine for regular story content, very defensive with the best tank (Cecil), best support (Rinyuu) and best debuffer (Signa) in the game. You don't need Millard there because you have Rinyuu EX for heals and you definitely don't need Devin because you have Cecil (Devin was actually the best budget tank b4 Cecil). Is Sigrid one of the 4 stars you got? She might be one of your best bets for damage if there's sword weak enemies; she even saw use vs lv120 Solistia NPCs with her 6* upgrades. Bring in Sofia whenever something's ice weak, other than that, 4 stars will have to do vs weaknesses other than ice/fire/bow/light. Cecil can actually do a bit of damage too since you're pretty hard up for damage dealers.>>1807523Damn, wish I could've warned you not to do it in time.>>1807741Tatloch EX's ultimate is extremely good. So good I U10'd her with my dupe because I don't have the money to get her A4. You especially want her U10 because you got her A4. She's the only character other than Dorrie and I think Paulina that has access to ult dark res down, and you're never bringing those other two.Bargello's ultimate is just sad because he's the best fan damage dealer in a dancer party and he can't even benefit from his own ultimate buff because it lasts 1 turn even at U10.
>>1807741You have my thanks. Having Dark Resistance down for 8 turns sounds a lot more appealing. I’m gonna go with that.
>>1808188Was supposed to be a response to >>1808092Stupid phone…
>>1807688Are they worth it even if I'm probably take a while to get them to 6*s?>>1808092Got it, I'm still overwhelmed by how many skills most characters have with so little skill slots, but I guess I will focus on trying to make the most out of those 3. And yeah, I have Sigrid but she's a 3* right now, would you still recommend her over having a team of all different weapons for the story? Or should I build her only for endgame stuff?
>>1808251Oh, and I forgot to ask. Any f2p character that I should try to get as soon as possible? I think you can only get them from some really hard arenas, so idk if I should even think about it right now
>>1808092>Damn, wish I could've warned you not to do it in time.It's no biggie, they seem to be holding off giving us Pardis for some reason(Probably waiting until anniversary). Correct if i'm wrong but Rinyuu EX came out after him right? If so then that means that i still have some time before he shows up.
>>1808251Madelaine is the only one that changes dramatically with her 6 star Pia and billy are fine without.
>>1808251>Got it, I'm still overwhelmed by how many skills most characters have with so little skill slotsMost characters only use 2 or 3 skills out of their kit in a fight. It looks like a lot of skills, but a lot are trash.>And yeah, I have Sigrid but she's a 3* right now, would you still recommend her over having a team of all different weapons for the story? Or should I build her only for endgame stuff?By the time you're ready for endgame, you'll have better characters, so don't worry too much.And generally you wanna focus on one weapon type but since your roster's not filled out yet, covering all the bases should be good enough for now. If you get a chance, try and at least 4* Sigrid. >>1808259>Any f2p character that I should try to get as soon as possible?Cecil, but you already have him so you're good. He's really the only one who stands out.
>mfw overclassing random 5 stars just to get +100 power influenceI really NEED that +0.5% damage bros
New player here, so I wanna aska few things:I heard that Cotc's anni is coming soon, how are we ctalking about?Also, I'm on Master of All chapter 8 with 900 gems, getting my ass kicked cause even random battles can 1 shot some of my party members (guess I gotta lvl them up a bit). If I don't spend anything, can I have enough for a pity by anni or by the time the Nier banner is up?
>>1809769>If I don't spend anything, can I have enough for a pity by anni or by the time the Nier banner is up?>If I don't spend anything, can I have enough for a pity by anni or by the time the Nier banner is up?Nier? Doubtful, though you do have a lot of free rubies still in permanent content, much of it requires clearing hard content.Anniversary in December? Probably, I'd say almost definitely. Though bear in mind, this one of the stingier gachas out there when it comes to gem income.Levels and gear are important, make sure your whole team has the latest weapons and armor.
Wonder if Netease have some SQEX translators giving them some advices. There's no way they could had cooked those gems by themselves. Props to them anyways.Note: Japanese version was just the penguin saying "Hot" in that line, so that wasn't a direct translation.
I've been reading some dolder guides and I've gotta ask, are you really supposed to build different teams and craft/upgrade every new gear for each boss of the "Bestower of" chapters? Or can you skip some of that grind these days?I get that gachas need these grindy time sinks in order to keep players, but this stuff is usually for endgame challenges, not the main story mode.
>>1813953Just roll Kainé-chan and Tiziano in about 3 weeks and rush through the entire game with them
>>1813953Just make the best gear you can at any time and move on. You don't need to worry about grinding unless you start getting walled.
another batch of keepers taken care of, I'm almost impressed by own creativity and wits

>FF6 collab5sisters... we were forgotten again
Cross Story 3 is gonna be the new 4.0 Update.Cross Story has gone from filler to Part 6.Get ready for some Octopath 0 characters to make their appearance.
>>1820443>>1820585HOLY SHIT!This is better than anything I could've hoped for!Actually has me debating on whether or not I'll skip DQ3.
Tina, my beloved! Next year can't come faster.>>1820585I lost track of the Cross Story chapters. What was Part 1? FF4 crossover? They introduced the "dread" tome there, so does that count?
>>1820655Nope. FFIV was a filler story, as is DQIII when it comes out.We haven’t been given Cross Story 1 yet. But it takes place in New Delsta and features the Blacksnakes teaming up with the Bargello Family. I expect it to come out three weeks from now.Also, all of the Cross Stories, with the exception of Final Fantasy IV have been two updates (2 months) long. Not sure if we’ll get the same treatment .
>>1820674Fair warning though. Cross Story is gonna be filled with all sorts of multiverse fuckery. You should get an idea of what you’re up against if you’ve played through the Final Fantasy IV chapter (Cecil meets an AU version of himself that embraced his dark side).Assume that each chapter, whether main story or filler takes place in its own universe. Plus we have Octopath 0 coming up which is essentially a retelling of Side Orsterra. So expect some crossover moments there too. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we got Stia, Phenn and Laurana when Cross Story 3 rolls around.
Now that we are talking about Cross Stories...>Hirohito said, in CoTC terms, OT0 would be a big Cross StoryWhile that may explain the OT travelers (wouldn't be surprised if they include some nod to Side Solistia), I have mixed feelings about the implication, considering the stories are about correcting/denying alternative storylines created by the dread tome. >>1820674>FFIV was a filler storyYeah but not exactly. "Cecil" is basically the introduction for the "what-if stuff" the stories would delve later. So its more like a prologue.
>>1820697Except that in JP, Cross Story 1 came first, THEN Final Fantasy IV. NetEase bungled up the order of events, but since the FFIV collab is an extra chapter of Cross Story, it really doesn’t matter if you play it before or after Cross Story 1.Not to mention Square released the official prologue (Cross Story Prequel) after Cross Story 2 so I’m not even sure if they planned on making Cross Story their Part 6 when they first created it.
Right now here’s our Cross Stories I. Order of release.Cross Story 1 - Blacksnakes and Bargello FamilyFinal Fantasy IV - The Red Wings invade OrsterraCross Story 2 - Phantom Thief Elrica and Murder mysteriesDragon Quest III - Fight Dragon Quest monsters in the arenaCross Story Prologue - Introduces Corridor of Fear. Takes place before Cross Story 1Final Fantasy IV - Terra and the gang fight Pardis III and GonskaCross Story 3 - Orsterra and Solistia Collide! Cross Story becomes Main Story!
>>1820720Netease have a weird schedule>Skipping CS1 and releasing Oskha before TizianoWonder why they did that. Suppose they arent interested in Cross Stories for the time being. They are nowhere to be found in the roadmap, but then Seed Story part 6 was shadow dropped, so there might be a chance of getting it before november.
Hopefully there will be a part 2 for FF6 crossover.Expecting Celes to be a traveler.If the train suplexer isn't playable, I'll riot.
>>1820785Check the roadmap again: >>1820585Part 2 of FFVI is next month. And probably with another three, maybe four travelers coming in.What are your predictions? Here’s mine:Celes - WarriorSabin - ClericSetter - Dancer
>>1820825Celes and sabin feel like no-brainer picks but are the nips on the same page as the west? I would guess setzer as number 3 because I wanna see what they will do with his mechanics. I also wouldnt mind shadow because hearing a new version of his theme would be sweet.
She's in
>>1820898Isn't she originally from FFV?
>>1820911Yep. You had to fight Gogo in order to get the last crystal and the Mime job. Except Gogo can mimic any move you do against him and send it right back at you.So the only way to defeat Gogo was to do absolutely nothing.. Final Fantasy allows you to put this same character in your party.
>>1820825>>1820857Are Sabin and Setzer popular over there?>>1820935>Final Fantasy allows you to put this same character in your party.FF5 Gogo is not FF6 Gogo unless I am missing some of the lore.
>>1821280I think I remember terra, locke and celes to be the most popular playables for 6 no idea about the others though. Ignoring the funny train meme - sabin would be my guess because edgar made it in.
>>1821280>FF5 Gogo is not FF6 Gogo unless I am missing some of the lore.Not sure it's ever been confirmed, but the fact that both games feature a mimic named Gogo who can travel to other dimensions, it's a fairly safe assumption.
>>1821749That makes sense, there was that stuff about the void in FF5
Is Richard's banner still good?
>>1822018No.
>>1822018He apparently gets replaced by a redhair slut soon. Feels like shit to not pull him since my swordfag team is clearly lacking a support buffer
FFVI Collab: The Kingdom Hearts version of the story that takes place in Orsterra. Multiverse shenanigans at its finest.Now let’s World of Ruin Orsterra looks like next month.
>free nier unit is 5 stars instead of 6sheeeeeeeeeit i just burnt all my 5 star seals on Hasumi just so I could beat dancer tower ex5 2It's over, I'll be a faggot for a whole week now
>>1822450>spoilerHell yeah>>1822679What the fuck? That's horrible, I'm screwed too.They need to permanently quadruple the blue seal income for 5 star base characters. It's only going to get worse when u20 comes out since I hear going from u19 to u20 costs blue seals too.
>>1822450>poor man's Kefka finally becomes a less cheap Kefka ripoffQuite the development. Looking forward a possible new form in the next month.Shame there was nothing interesting in the internal files for Part 1. I suppose they are saving the bomb for the next big update.
What the hell are Cross Stories even?
>>1823396Cross Paths (you know, the OT2 mechanic) but between Orsterra and Solistia characters. Fanfiction stories created by some dread book that shouldn't exist. Ringbearer is basically a time janny now.Dunno if the dread reaper is the main antagonist, but its power is divided in 8 fragments, and each one had been the final boss in the 3 cross stories we've had so far.
>>1823396It’s Octopath’s way of giving us Multiverse Fuckery,The main stories give us crossovers with Orsterra and Solistia. But there are collab stories which also count as Cross Stories (FFIV, DQIII, FFVI).Initially it just seemed to start off as filler stuff made just for fun, but now that The Chosen One has run its course it’s become main story content (I.E. Part 6).We got the first two chapters early, but Cross Story 3 is when shit starts to get real, I guess. And because we have multiverse fuckery ahead, expect some characters and other things from Octopath 0 to leak into the game as well.Also new Fear(?) Weapons that can be used in both Orsterra and Solistia.
>>1725903Recommend me a YT channel where explains character kits especially the difficult ones like Agnewa and gives the optimal build(s)>inb4 spear of salvation showcase videosThey are pretty good, my problem though is he made every single motherfucker a massive damage dealer + hitting the cap as much as possibleI look into units like Agnea, Lemaire or any support character to understand their kits and they are just getting Solon’ed every single time in his channel
>>1825251You want someone who can explain the kits to you, go to Urshiko: https://m.youtube.com/@urshikocotc/featuredHe’s been at this for a long time. He also explains upcoming mechanics. Plus he does play throughs of the latest Japanese updates.
>>1825251Your options on youtube aren't very good. I'd say Silver Roxas is more what you're looking for, but the guy himself is a big time NetEase cockslurper and has some lolworthy takes sometimes. At least he presents things as they are with their buffs taken into account.The other anon mentioned Urshiko but he looks at things exclusively through a JP lens when many characters in the English version have buffs altering their usefulness, with more buffs to surely come in the future and change the view JP has on them. For example, our gigabuffed Odio-O will likely replace where Kaine would be used on JP teams alongside Pardis.
>>1822450Isn't that what they did with Triangle strategy. At least they're not EX variants and the actual characters this time
>>1825503>gigabuffed Odio-OI'm a new player, are these buffs coming from some other version of the game (CN?). Or were they already buffed in JP first
>>1825503So, our Kaine won't be buffed at all?
>>1825660Not quite…What the Triangle Strategy collab did was have a retelling of Master of All, but with House Wolffort as the protagonists. Plus it focused on the game board.The Final Fantasy VI collab is a retelling of Final Fantasy VI but makes it set in Orsterra, and literally replaces Emperor Geshtal with Pardis III and Kefka with Gonska. Plus I’m sure the Dreadborn Fragments are involved once again.
>>1825662Let me put it like this> Partitio released in EN, same as JP> released in CN with buffs iirc> months later, released again in EN with the new buffsThis may happen again
Since souls for the nier character also release tomorrow, spoonfeed me which weapons to build for each guy Fortune/brilliant/cosmic and which skill to boost etc etcI am literally too retarded for that
>>1825662JP doesn't get buffs. The Odio buffs (both of them, but Odio-O's are insane and make him our best damage dealer AND best physical support when he gets them) are from...TW, I think? Maybe CN. Other versions, yeah. They should come with his rerun/6* release, which is practically guaranteed to be one of the collab reruns on our current roadmap. The coming months are expected to be NieR Replicant collab, NieR Automata rerun, then Live A Live rerun. Pardis is almost guaranteed to be in December for anniversary.>>1825663Correct, it fucking sucks! The announcements came out today, and there are zero buffs for NieR Replicant.NetEase has been buffing plenty of characters that didn't even need buffs lately, plus they delayed Kaine by at least a month and a half if not more, but there's zero buffs because they know it's the one banner everyone is pulling on anyway.People are now discussing Tiziano as a skip because before, his big thing was buffing Kaine who used to be the top dps in the game and also buffing physical comps in general. Instead, Kaine will be top dps for a month or two, then fall to sub dps when Odio gets his buffs (Tiz becomes potentially unnecessary around this time) then Kaine will fall to SUB sub dps this Christmas and may even be benched once things get rolling in 2026.Funnily enough, the gimmicky titular character himself, NieR, is now the most desirable pickup from tomorrow's banner if you're planning to play this game long term, as JP bosses have so much hp that NieR's third break turn is becoming necessary to one break. And if you think one breaking is a whale-only thing, think again. F2P can clear tons of content in one break already and it just gets easier with the upcoming characters. It'll even become necessary for some content, as there will be bosses that auto-overkill your team as their recover-from-break action.
>>1826065>Pardis is almost guaranteed to be in December for anniversary.I will have more than enough Rubies by then.
God I hope netease fucks up as usual and extends the maintenance so we can get more rubies
>>1826227Speaking of our glorious kang: is it possible to spook / spark other villains in his banner??
well damn now I'm tempted to go for A4
>>1826546they got me again
>>1826545Not sure.
>>1822679sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit300 left seals to goEnjoy your 3 turns break without me bros...
>>1826702It's alright bro. Right now, his three turn break gimmick is mostly to help people who fumble their one break kills and need one more turn. It's only later on that'll it'll become mandatory for one breaking.I'm saving me seals for the Odios, or maybe A2 for my axe meme team.
>>1725903FUCK THIS MOTHERFUCKERDid someone make a team of 4 members- for grinding- for the 6th Ouma? Sadly I don’t have Osvald
>>1827995I see very little reason to grind Ouma in the first place.
>>1827995Don't remember struggling against this one. If you had Alfyn or someone who grant immunity to ailments, it should be easy.
>>1827995I grind Ouma 2, it's comfy. But like the other anon said, there's no need to grind Ouma.
>>1828002>>1828164What about grinding for those Crystals to unlock those 2 TP moves and stats ? Or are you suggesting using up the generic crystals?
>>1827995Here you go. There’s some handy A4’s that’ll make your life easier. I can basically use this to break and kill him in four turns.
>>18284932 TP moves yes, stats are pretty pointless. So if you run out of generic crystals, I guess you could do a few runs here and there for the characters you're actually using.
Once again it is my birthday, and once again i ask you to say something nice to me or else i will fuck you COTC waifu.
>>1828493Far quicker to just exchange for the crystals from the cascade log exchange. Ouma is pointless even for stats and skills.
>>1828987Leave Saz out of this.Also Happy Birthday.
>>1828987Happy Birthday.Hope you managed to A4 the Nier: Replicant trio.
This was a nice run.
>>1829024Jack's design is rad. Shame this collab is kinda short and he is the only shade appearing in cotc.
>>1829008>>1829023Thank you, but i'm saving my rubies for Pardis. I did pull on the one time free banner and got Kaine though.
>>1829045You planning on saving rubies until December? Because that’s probably when he’s coming out.
>>1829054>You planning on saving rubies until December?Yes. I have a lot patience, and i'm sure my wait will be rewarded with a butt load of rubies to offer to my Glorious King.
Well I think this is as far as I'll get against the Ryu lvl 120. Kaine hard carrying the damage, but damage cap getting in the way. Going to be putting this off until at least a weapons upgrade.
Huzzah, 2 hours of making an upgraded weapon for both Bargello and Frederica later and Ryu level 120 down.
>>1831094Congrats! Can you post the party screen? I wanna see how whaled out you are, because I have all of those characters.
>>1832628Canary's a4 and Bargello's a4 were the only none f2p accessories that mattered, but I just got them slowly from the shard exchange.
Kaine? is strong. But not horrible.Took my time with her and it paid off. Dark Team FTW.
>>1832837Darn, I don't have any awakenings on my Canary, but could otherwise copy this. Hikari's A4 should suffice once I get it next year, then I can do this. Thanks!
>>1832837Great job with that! The just managed to defeat him myself today!All that’s left for me is the Cropdale 120 NPC, Saint Sazantos and Or’sazantos. Then I’ll have done everything there is to do at this point.
Another one down.
>>1835379solo Osvald? goddamn
>>1834438Completed! That just leaves the Woman who Entices Monsters.Hoping they give us a good update this week. Cross Story would be nice.
>>1835383That would be pretty cool, but no. Not Solo Osvald.
Did Dark Signa, Black Knight and DQ3 already release in China? I'm wondering how long it should take for us to get those banners
>>1835650Nope. China’s on Bravely Default part 2 right now (not sure if rerun or not).And as for the other stuff…Give it about six months. We’re expecting Pardis III and Ceraphina to come out on December.
>>1835708Oh well, at least I get more time to save I guess, really want those 5 units
>>1835725Which three DQIII characters are you talking about? There are six characters:EX CyrusEX ViolaEX MolrussoEX ThereseEX PartitioEX Signa
>>1835759Oh, did they all come out at the same time? I thought it was just Cyrus, Viola and Molrusso at first and then the others came out during some rerun.I guess the first 3 then, although I'd also try to get at least Signa if I still have some pulls left after that
>>1835762>Did they all come out at the same time?nta, but not. Like the current collab, DQIII had two parts. Part II was released a month after the first one.
>3 Emils>2 Niers>0 KaineGuess she hates me
How does cascade battle difficulty work?The ex1 cascade battle featuring the clown and Pardis, if I do this battle without any modifiers, would be exactly the same as doing the ex1 versions of each in adversary log?
>>1836397Difficulty is locked depending on the battle. An EX 2 Rank will stay EX 2 no matter what. But you can adjust certain parameters, like enemy stats and party limits.For the big boys, you can increase the enemy’s grade and add an extra phase in the battle. Those will yield special prizes for getting 100 points.
>>1836453Shit, that seems way too fucking hard. I wanted the new 100 point reward but the game expects me to beat 3 buffed ex3 difficulty bosses back to back while also having to deploy shitters like Jose
>>1836471YouTube is your friend.That and having some strong Travelers.
>>1836397I think EX is generally lv100
Finally, the Cross Story. Or Crossed Paths according to NT.
>>1837087Not crazy about the name change.Crossed Paths in Octopath 2 is where two protags share a story together. This involves two entire worlds, Orsterra and Solistia. And later it’ll probably be three with Octopath 0. In honestly feel like Cross Story would’ve been a better fit in this case.Maybe I’m just used to the JP version. Like how people comfortable with Seed Story didn’t take too well to Emberflame.
>>1837110While isn't technically incorrect, I'd prefer the naming be consistent with what we've got so far: Main "Story", Side "Story", Traveler "Story", Emberflame "Story". >be three with Octopath 0Did I miss something? So far I know 0 is in Orsterra. Unless you are talking about an alternative Orsterra and I don't know if that can count as another world.>Like how people comfortable with Seed Story didn't take too well to EmberflameCan relate to that. I don't mind "Seed" Story, but in context, I think "Emberflame" Story sounds miles better.
>>1837189Cross Story…or in this case Crossed Paths deals in multiverse scenarios.The first one is going to take place I. new Delsta with a mix of Solistia. And Orsterran characters. You might even run into some random NPC’s that are party members.Also, Octopath 0 is basically a console retelling of Octopath COTC. But it gives us original party members not found in COTC and adds Wishvale, an original village into the mix of things.So yes, when I say three worlds I am referring to:Orsterra - Octopath COTC/Octopath 1Solistia - Octopath 2Another Orsterra - Octopath 0/Octopath 1We’ll probably get a clearer picture of this when JP releases Crossed Paths 3 in October for their 5th anniversary.
Gonna get Tiz tomorrow to go with Kaine. We finally made it, after all this time.
>>1837589He's fine at A0, right? I'm not doing too hot with rubies right now...
>tfw got Tittyziano in just 600 rubies>tfw got most of the must pull units in under 1k rubies>tfw 20.5k rubies leftWho /F2Pwhalling/ for Pardis A4 here?
>>1837940Not worth it in my opinion.
What's with all those shadow released chapters lately?
>>1838450NetEase has been releasing side chapters occasionally along with main chapters. These don’t show up on the Roadmap at all as they’re not considered as important. But they’re still updates nonetheless.And with these three months being nothing but banners having the extra updates is a welcome addition.I surmise that Chosen One 7 will come out in November.
>CelesExpected>RelmNot so expected. But Lemaire is a precedent, so kinda makes sense.>SetzerWat? How could him be a Hunter when Gau exists? I know Gau is not popular enough, but still.>>1838677Chapter 7 stuff is already on the files , so it could be between novemeber and december.Don't recall the CS1 being timegated, tho.
>>1838918Cross Story 1 timegated? What do you mean?
>seven of the 14 playable characters of FFVI got HD2D sprites before a remake existed.I have this feeling they're testing the waters.
>>1839623TerraLockeEdgarMogCelesSetzerRelmYeah, I’d gladly see more FF7 characters done in this style.
>>1839790Fuck, I meant FF6 characters.
