I never finished texturing the Bravely style Tressa model and I feel bad, since now I'll be too busy playing Octopath to finish it :negative: Here's how far I got, anyway

I did not need to know that Shane McMahon had at some point grown up into an adult human being. So thanks for that.

Game is good so far, and despite being multiple separate paths, there is clearly overlap in the various plots. I'd be shocked if there isn't an endgame dungeon that ties up some of stuff I'm seeing early.

I do kind of wish they had come up with a better excuse for Cyrus to go adventuring though, because the existing reason feels more than a little tone deaf.

I've been watching/listening to Cohh play this morning and I have determined three things:

1: I am definitely getting this game
2: I am definitely starting with Therion
3: Wa hahaha

Poochy ain't Stupid.
I might be.
How frequent are the chests Therion can open? I want to start as Alfyn as my favourite character right now, but I'm worried about constantly wanting to have Therion in the party anyways for chests to avoid backtracking.

Would it pay off to choose Therion just to make it easier? And can you eventually change your starting character out of the party?

I think Tressa's gonna get shelved actually. :( It strikes me that if the party is essentially invisible, I'm going to get basically all the fun Tressa stuff just by doing her story, so might as well make Therion my lead.

Tressa's path action, so far, has been incredibly useful in getting good equipment at cheap prices. Hopefully this scales well.

i already shelved her, her abilities arent that useful, still collecting characters atm though. whatshisface the healer isn't that great either, gonna go get ophelia and see if shes any better. I feel like if her summon ability is similar to primrose then those two together will be a pretty big dps boost from having essentially 2 extra turns of damage.

does anyone know if you can steal support skills from other classes? I want everyone to have the healer guys mana stealing passive

So has therion's, for the cheap price of free :devil:



So like I got all the party members but all the chapter 2 areas are like 5 levels higher than my highest guy. Am I supposed to grind up levels or will it be okay if I just go there?

vvv Savescumming is gross! I use the age-old tactic of Being Weirdly Lucky.

it is kinda weird that there is no party banter or interaction it seems.

i give the story huge plus points for being a JRPG without any completely incomprehensible weird poo poo though, everything has been a little cliche but at least its not like final fantasy where you need a glossary to figure out what an l'cie or fal'cie is

As far as I can tell it just means you can't use path actions on anyone in town until your clear it? The price to clear it has seemed to go up every time I've done so also, though it might be a level thing, I haven't gotten bad rep too many times or been paying attention really.

Do you get more than when you defeat the boss?

It makes sense to steal items during a boss fight from a boss so it can't use that item, or so that you can use that item during the fight. But I figure if you didn't steal it, you just get it after defeat.

You have to go clockwise or counterclockwise, but you can skip over any towns you're not interested in. You can also fast travel to any town you've already been to.

Also, having hit Chapter 2, I can confirm that there are inter-party skits, with the first one I've run into being Cyrus commenting on Tressa's chapter 2 shenanigans. Personalized lines too, not generic chatter.

Tressa's Collect gold is separate from winning the fight gold, yeah.

As far as I can tell, it's just extra money that you wouldn't otherwise get.

Like, why would the skill even exist if you get that money anyway?

So am I to understand from Cyrus' intro that Olberic's city-state was destroyed 8 years ago and no one has any information on what their religion was. That's some extremely poor record keeping for a city known for its scholars.

I assume later chapters are longer than the initial ones since each character only has 4?

I was actually concerned 4 chapters per character might not be enough to flesh them out but I don't actually know how long they are.
