I am so bummed I can’t use a voucher on this. The demo has me hungry.
Xenoblade 3? Harvestella is a really good rpg with farming elements and great side quests. It has a demo.
I enjoyed the demo for Live a Live. I haven't played it yet, so can't say.
Have you played Bravely Default 2?
I found her story to be the weakest as well, but I will say that her final chapter salvages it quite a bit IMO. It's really well done.Having played some Chapter 3’s I think Agnea has probably the worst story so far to the point that I don’t even care for her story anymore. I will finish it but the other stories are a lot more interesting.
Had such a satisfying moment during Hikari’s finale!
Scraped my way to the last phase and got wiped just before I could wrap it up. Took a look over my skills and realized that Rest — a skill I have basically never needed to use until this point — pairs incredibly well with the Arcanist job, which is how Partitio was already set up! Absolutely breezed through it the next time. Hikari’s was my fave ending so far (and my initial character!).
You were right, what a beautiful victory lap that was.Just do it, the epilogue is worth it
That ending was everything I could have askedYou were right, what a beautiful victory lap that was.
I can still squeeze some extra hours out of this game with the super boss, but man...
MAN
Very reminiscent of Undertale in a way, which is always a good thing.That ending was everything I could have asked
It's actually really fast, like 1- 2 hours (there's a lot of story and there is no final dungeon, you revisit 3 temples and a couple of boss fights) and the fight with the final boss. For levels as long as they are well equipped and have good monsters for ochette and abilities learnd from Hikari, and have good sinnergy with the team primary and secondary jobs (you are going to use all of the characters in the final battle) around 50 should be okay, 60 if you need more life / sp for some characters.Quick question about the endgame because I’m starting to feel the heat in finishing this before it’s due back at the library: how long is the epilogue once you finish everyone’s tale, and about what level should I be for it?
Thank you for the reply! OK, I am feeling a lot better about being able to finish this week then. I have been using 3 members for most of the game and swapping out the 4th when necessary to advance the story, so my team is already ~Lv60 with two final chapters to go! Sounds like if I do a little gear lap and spendathon before the epilogue I should be alrightIt's actually really fast, like 1- 2 hours (there's a lot of story and there is no final dungeon, you revisit 3 temples and a couple of boss fights) and the fight with the final boss.

yeah, worst case just use merchant hire help at max level with the soliders or the assasins at the final boss, at that point you don't really use money for anything elseThank you for the reply!

In the journal press R and it will display the sidequest per areaHow do you track sidequests?
OMG THANK YOU!!! Is it me or is that not very intuitive?In the journal press R and it will display the sidequest per area
Glory to the sax, and yeah, that's pretty much my ranking too with Cassti in second plance and Temenos in 4thOkay, now that I'm done with the 8 Paths, I have to rank them:
- Best Theme Music: Has to be Partitio. The sax cannot be beat. Honorable mention to Agnea for the excellent fiddle.
- Best Overall Path: Cassti or Temenos, I can't decide. Both were very good. Honorable mention to Osvald.
- Best Finale/final boss: Somehow... Agnea?! She's probably my overall least favorite path, but her finale was incredible. Although I'm probably bumping it up a lot of points for Song of Hope alone (which is STILL stuck in my head days later)
Ooh, story comparisons!Glory to the sax, and yeah, that's pretty much my ranking too with Cassti in second plance and Temenos in 4th
Go give it a yeah in the rpg vote thread (along with anything else you like)I think this is the best JRPG SE has released since the PS2.
Already had it done. I think a lot of folks here are enjoying and know about Octopath II now. Maybe I should make a thread about why Monster Hunter Stories 2 is one of the best RPGs and a must play for Pokemon fans as well.Go give it a yeah in the rpg vote thread (along with anything else you like)
Such a good rpg. I think MHS2 has legit got a fantastic combat system.Already had it done. I think a lot of folks here are enjoying and know about Octopath II now. Maybe I should make a thread about why Monster Hunter Stories 2 is one of the best RPGs and a must play for Pokemon fans as well.

I need something on Switch to fill my Octopath Void and MHS 2 is half off at the moment…will investigate
I’m a little salty that I killed Partitio’s boss so hard that once he transitioned into the form with different music he did one move and instantly died so I didn’t get to hear itFinished Throné's story tonight (which.... yeah, okay), only have Hikari left before I move on to the crossed paths and the end.
I gotta say, I really like how each character's theme gets woven into the boss music for their final chapter (except Agnea who just gets an amazing boss theme herself). My favorite has been Partitio's and Temenos' versions.
That's an issue I ran into for Ochette's boss lmao.I’m a little salty that I killed Partitio’s boss so hard that once he transitioned into the form with different music he did one move and instantly died so I didn’t get to hear it
Just out of interest,And that’s it, rolled credits! Excellent game, and the final boss unique gimmick was very cool.
The elements and characters connecting all the stories weren’t quite what I expected, but it seems like they weren’t really intending you to figure any of that out (at least I sure didn’t) before the big reveals. I like that it explained a lot of the things that seemed out of place (mostly what the hell was up with Claude and his entire deal).
Great game that I hope keeps selling with good WoM. I don’t think it’ll be my GOTY by year’s end, with too many other games competing for that slot (and I had some nitpicks), but I can 100% say that the soundtrack is going to be tough to beat out for my OST of the year.
What were your nitpicks out of curiousity? Spoiler tag if needed. My friend is giving me some tips on the final bits. I should be done by weekend.And that’s it, rolled credits! Excellent game, and the final boss unique gimmick was very cool.

Just out of interest,what did you think was going on with Claude? What was he? I’m still not sure I understand.
Lovely, thanks very much!Here, this should answer your questions. I'm assuming you're looking for the first paragraph in the "history" section. Correct? In short: Vide's blood gave him immortality.
They’re mostly gameplay related, not story or spoilers. Basically, similar to the first game, I wish there were more jobs, more ability customization, and better pacing with unlocking things. Early on, it feels good to unlock and try out new abilities and new skills, and then when you unlock secondary jobs you get the fun of mixing and matching things, and that’s great! My issue is that by the end of Chapter 2s/start of Chapter 3s I had unlocked pretty much everything I wanted to and basically ran out of “new” stuff to do and character mechanical progression screeches to a halt. There are of course a few hidden jobs that spice things up again but they come very late (like level 45-50) and there’s not as much as I’d like, and it leaves a huge chunk of the game where there’s not mechanical tinkering to be done. And it feels like around Chapter 3s JP becomes pretty much pointless since you have enough on everyone to always buy whatever you want, which takes a lot of the shine off.I really like having long term builds and things to work toward.What were your nitpicks out of curiousity?
