I'm not 100% sure but I assume it's like Throné, where you just have a choice of the order you want to tackle them in (although given the recommended levels it does seem like there's an intended order).
Sites Like CDjapan ans Play Asia should have it available before its release date. They still have the first game's artbbok.
If someone had served up Octopath 2 20 years ago in a world where FF 7/8/9/10 hadn’t been made, and told me it was ‘FF7, the sequel to FF6’, I’d have believed them.
It’s also freaking Jamieson Price voicing him, I love his voice so much. He can be in literally every RPG ever, please and thank you.
Agreed. I first heard him as Sojiro in Persona 5, and ever since then I get excited when I hear his voice in a game, haha
I think you need to go do the other part of Chapter 2 before her Chapter 3. And the game is structured so that you, generally at least, do most of the Chapter 1s before you then do most of the Chapter 2s, and so on. You definitely don't have to do it like that, but the levels of the areas and bosses are going to be a very steep jump otherwise
If the next section is a high level, or the next area I’ve stumbled into, I just look at the map and pick a different direction to explore, or sail to a port I haven’t been to, or travel to a place where there’s unexplored areas of a similar level nearby, or head towards new characters instead. It’s true that if you stick on one story path you’re going to get massive difficulty spikes, particularly early on.
Guess who kept going when a ‘a sense of dread’ message popped up, leading to a party wipe against something very nasty? Me
Found one of those and walked away without even trying, I'll be back soon enough though!Guess who kept going when a ‘a sense of dread’ message popped up, leading to a party wipe against something very nasty? Me
Temenos' latent power works really well with scholar's Elemental Barrage, it just tears through shields.
I haven't played with Temenos much yet (I have Agnea Apothecary as my main healer and one of Ochette's monsters as backup) so I can't really speak on that.
No idea. I do really like having Castii set up as apothecary/cleric though, as it means she can heal everyone at once with her regular spells without using resources, and keep the special move for loading up on buffs and restoring SP instead.
Yeah that's why I had Temenos go scholar. Solid synergy.
Cleric for Osvald seems the safest choice one could make (probably why I'd go for it ahah), but yeah my problem is by having him and Temenos in the same party have each others' job I'd be severely limiting my breakage capabilities, like A LOT.
Apoth for Temenos is probably very valid too.
Yeah, Temenos also having scholar is less big a deal due to his latent power, but if you have both I would definitely go with something else for Osvald. Honestly inventor might be interesting (depending on how many worthwhile skills you have on it), otherwise dancer for wind or thief for dark, if you want the elemental versatility. And you can always just shuffle it around and see if there's something you like the feel of.
It's a really good support skill especially until you have "stronger" ones. I ended up dropping it after a bit though, because it turns out that one of the NPCs you can allure with Agnea has something like "restores SP" (as opposed to just "a little bit of SP") as their performance thing. Which means that every time I use Agnea to buff someone I also heal them for a whopping 75 SP and even with the more SP-hungry classes (like armsmaster oh my god) I can keep them fed while getting extra buffs for free.
I’m so looking forwards to finding more stuff like this! The game is so varied, imagine everyone will have a ton of different stories and strategies when we’re all done
Yeah, it's really cool! Between the party compositions, the extra path skills, and the larger map, there's a ton of different routes you can take both in terms of exploration and party setups. And I really like how the game rewards you for being a little daring with entering difficult areas early, while also not hesitating you immediately make you explode if you push it too hard.I’m so looking forwards to finding more stuff like this!
