The main flaw of the Arranged album is that it lacks Decisive Battle 1.

Break-side Battle 2 would've been cool as heck. I love DB2 but we didn't really need it twice. Also Victor's Hollow.

Not to sound like a complete idiot but how do I deal with the sacred flame boss at the beginning of ophilias story? I keep dying because I can't attack his minions and he'll myself fast enough. I have a sword follower to summon but it's not enough. Edit: yep, nevermind. As soon as I ask the internet I figure it out. Kingtheninja fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Feb 22, 2019 |

Guide the NPC in Flamesgrace tavern that has the multihit wind skill. He brakes the boss's shields fast.

Oh god I am at the final fight with Galdera and it mopped the floor with my crew. I didn't know it would use all 8 heroes. Now my party and equipment set up is all out of whack. What level should all my heroes be for this? Any tips?

If you’ve got all four of the advanced jobs, grind up everyone to unlock the permanent Attack and Defense boost passives. You’re also going to want everyone to have the Cleric passive that lets you overheal, and your final slot for your damage dealers should have the Warrior passive that removes the damage cap (MAYBE minus the Sorcerer, since it’s unlikely that each individual hit is going to hit for 10k without some setup). You’re also going to want to ensure that both parties have a Cleric and an Apothecary. The Cleric is self-explanatory, and the Apothecary can cast Dohter’s Charity on someone so that they can spam BP-restoring items on the entire party. Also, the difficulty for the final boss is pretty frontloaded, IMO; if you’ve got a Warmaster in the second part, it’s almost hilariously easy if you make sure that they have a constant flow of BP coming in so they can spam their ultimate.

Here's my lineup: Tressa (first pick, 76), Cyrus (77), Alfyn (75), Primrose (67), Olberic (60), Therion (57), H'aanit (49), Ophilia (53). My main cast was just Tressa/Cyrus/Alfyn with a rotating 4th slot so 3 of them are way stronger than the rest. I...also gave every nut I came across to Tressa not knowing the late-game stuff and the end fight... I also sold some armors and weapons thinking the same thing so now I gotta buy some high-end ones via shops (I do one all the battle-tested stuff too).... aaaand I've done pretty much every side quest too....I really hope I didn't gum this up. As far as jobs, go, I got all 12 and I can use my Sorcerer Cyrus to carry my lower level guys into Forest or Purgnation and grind the poo poo out of them since I have the EXP and JP items and skills. Hopefully I can set up the whole cast to fight the final boss with ease.

I mean, those levels should be totally fine, the party make up and jobs (and passives) will really determine if you win or get stomped.

If you have the highest def/mdef stuff, you should be fine. Someone put together a spreadsheet of all the items and equipment and I just scoured that to make sure I had the best stuff.

I beat it! The final boss music is beautiful. I really hope a sequel is in the future. There a few things they could touch up on like side quests, but overall it was a fantastic game.

Things I learned from Octopath Traveler: 1.) Tressa is the best 2.) There's still things need improving on such rear end map icons for shops/inns/taverns, ability to see and have record of all teammate conversations 3.) Have the last end-game stuff be its own chapter to find things easier like the main chapters. 4.) Check your local library to see if they have Switch games to check out because that's the reason why I was able to play it while jobless and broke. 5.) Tressa for Smash. Seriously hope there's a sequel. Such a fun RPG.

Agreed as well! More Party Banter and making it more easily accessible would be great - and I'd love if they did what other games did and just assumed you had the whole party travelling with you even if they weren't in your party. My local library is pretty great too. It's also been pretty good at picking up physical releases of various indie games too which I've liked too. They even post reservation data before things come out so you can pick things up from the library somewhat close to release. Sometimes just two weeks after? I love my library.

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent announced for iOS and Android https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB0ECPgcob8 Interesting direction, though combat kinda has me worried a bit (All the Octopaths?). One of the screenshots has a couple options though so maybe it'll have more depth than the video suggests. Also the next console game is still in development and won't be seen anytime soon.

"We already have all these resources, may as well force something else out." 8 person combat could get broken as gently caress especially if they just lazily carry over all the classes for OT1.

1.5m copies sold for a game that was likely developed and budgeted with the expectation/hope of moving a couple hundred thousand units. I hope Octopath 2 is to Octopath Traveller as Suikoden 2 was to Suikoden: nothing new and fancy, just fine tuning the systems while putting out an extremely good story and fun content.

Never underestimate Square Enix's tendency to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But yes, I hope the sequel is kind of more of the same.

Okay, the Starseer kicked the poo poo out of my team. She increased her number of moves per turn to three then used some insane random target multi-hit move that slaughtered my party. If there any good way to mitigate it? I know reflective veil helps. Should I just give Ophelia a ton of BP every turn and give her that special buff that makes single-target buffs effect the whole team, then use max boost reflective veil over and over? I can’t remember which class has that as its special skill.

I picked this up for the first time since July and started into chapter 3 quests. I still enjoy the combat and exploring dungeons, but hoo boy I forgot how wordy the story bits are. I was lol'ing at Olberic internal monologuing on the battlefield as he realized for whom he fought now that his dumb king is dead. This game is a perfect Netflix companion app.

But yes, Dancer Divine Skill and Reflective Veil will do a lot of work in that fight. You also might want to try poisoning her.

I managed to kill Starseer with only Sorceror unlocked by abusing the dancer and cleric divine skills and reflective veil. But as my dancer and cleric were the same person I had to go on the offensive for most of the battle. Also had Saving Grace equipped for everyone which made tanking the spells quite a bit easier. Ended up making it by the skin of my teeth with only Cyrus alive. No idea how i'm going to manage Runelord without any pomegranates.

Was fighting the super-duper-final-boss, and holy hell. For the first phase, I had Sorcerer Cyrus, Starseer Ophelia, Warmaster Olberic, and Warrior Haanit. This let me hit the adds all at once for massive damage, to kill them all quickly. It was working well, and I got it down to red, until the Eye used Consume Soul. I didn't manage to kill it, and it used it's first three action round to petrify and one-shot Cyrus. Apparently, if a petrified character is killed, they're gone for the rest of the battle! Didn't last long after that, I was dependent on Auspices on Sorcerer to break it. We're at low 60s, level-wise. Should I be higher? Or was my strategy just not good enough.

So what's a good overall party now that I've just picked up everyone? Ophilia is my main, and I've typically been rocking cyrus Therion and whoever the newest member is. Felt like a decent balance but I don't know how job change affects the makeup either.

My party is always changing. My approach is to always have as large of an assortment of spells/weapons as possible because breaking enemies is priority #1. It should be noted I'm not into min/max. I'm about half way through chapter 3 and things are going just fine for me.

If you want to do post-game stuff, it's better to rotate your characters since the final boss requires all eight characters. If you're not going to bother with that, then just go with your favorites. As long as you have a Cleric or Alfyn for party-wide healing (non-issue for an Ophilia main, of course) and keep up-to-date with your gear, you can tackle the story stuff easily enough.

I would recommend looking up a “party chat guide” and changing your party around based on that. It adds otherwise missing flavor and connections between the characters.
