Quick question dunno if this is been answered yet but, if you dual class say a warrior and a scholar, when you cast a spell how does it calculate your elemental attack stat? Do you need to have your staff "selected" or will it automatically base the damage off whichever weapon you have equipped with the highest magic stat on it??

If there was one difficulty modifer this game needs, it would be the option to cap your level when entering a dungeon. The second half of the game inevitably becomes a cakewalk if you play this as quadpath traveler.

Agnea's was probably the story I was least excited for but I think it's one of my favorites. Really uplifting stuff compared to, say, Throne's or Cassti's.

Andrast posted:It indeed uses the weapon with the highest magic stat I was wondering about this, too. That’s very helpful. Andrast posted:Your gear is way more impactful than your level anyway Yeah, I was saying earlier that I had to grind to get to the recommended level because they kept jumping up, but I gave up on that because I have really good gear and level doesn’t matter quite as much. I am rolling through chapters with recommended levels in the mid-30’s with a team of lv 30 characters plus lv 40 Throné Edit: I’m glad that Agnes’s story isn’t high stakes but also not stupid or boring. The game needs some moments of calm to balance with the dark poo poo.

I've been playing this sporadically since release and just got unlocked all 8 travelers. My favorite stories so far, through just chapter 1 mind you, is Osvald followed by Throne. Temenos going for kind of a vigilante detective, batman-esque thing is pretty neat too. I picked Hikari first and his chapter 1 was lackluster imo, probably my least favorite of the opening stories. Just couldn't get down with the JRPG rework to the opening plot points of Gladiator. Hoping it picks up. Agnea's chapter 1 also didn't really leave me too excited, although I find that making her famous to be more heart warming than the other stories and she definitely stands in contrast to OT1's mega dark Primrose story. Ochette, Castti, Partitio were all sort of middle of the road. In any case the game owns and I'm excited to start rolling through everyone's 2nd chapter now that I have a full party and multiple options.

Oh yeah, I suppose that makes sense. There are a few without side quests, like the Abandoned Waterway (which had a boss but mediocre loot) and the Quicksand Gaol (which gives you an item used for a license and a rusty weapon)

I picked up Armsmaster to give to Hikari, got the sword, and was going to go about to pick up the spear, but god drat the guy guarding that is hard as hell for my level 32 Hikari. I can't knock him out yet either. Guess I need to level up Throne more.

Bought this on a whim last week and have been really enjoying it. It's definitely better than the first game, which I enjoyed but fell off of pretty quickly once I got the entire cast, whereas now I've got everyone between levels 20-30 and am finishing cleaning up everyone's Chapter 2s. I've been avoiding looking things up and just trying to figure stuff out myself for once, and it's been going pretty well. I started with Throné and went counterclockwise from there. My current MVPs are probably Throné, because Thief can do a shocking amount of damage, and Castti with the Dancer license.

I had a really strange encounter after Temenos' Chapter 1 (which was my final traveler chapter) - I walked outside the city gates and everything was purple and had weird music playing, then I got into a battle with an actual tough enemy (it was also purple) rather than the normal level 11 scrubs. The weird music persisted throughout the the battle and when I beat it, it was just regular daytime again and everything was back to normal. Is this a portent of things to come "Night will fall" or whatever? Also with the Armsmaster class, does it ever make sense to equip stronger weapons than the class weapons? Some of the skills are pretty good but if they lag behind later, Hikari especially may benefit more from some stout Learned skills instead.

I had a similar encounter wandering around a mid-tier area, I want to say outside Crackridge? It was some dark avian creature, not too tough but a step up from the other encounters there. Same thing happened with the ominous music that went back to normal after beating it. I think it's just a random occurrence, but I'm only guessing here. Kinda cool when it happens though.

Especially for Hikari once you start picking up some of the stronger stuff.

Cleared out all the Chapter 1s, and did a couple Chapter 2s. I do like the cast, though I'm not sold on a few of them yet but it's still really early days. I think I like half this cast better than OT1's, but OT1 still has some good people in there. It's probably even between them right now. Regardless, Partitio is the best. Also I find it cute that (Partitio Chapter 2 banter spoilers) he and Oswald just casually complimenting each other's muscles.

This game is kinda glitchy though, I’ve had times where it went back to normal speed even though I had 2x speed toggled, so I had to hit + twice to fix it.

Especially for Hikari once you start picking up some of the stronger stuff. Yeah, some of them are incredible when you can first unlock them, but there are several Learned skills that replicate to some degree. The bow one is definitely better than the Learned counterpart though, because I think it triggers again if you break an enemy with it. The sword one seems by far the best since I can hit upwards of 50k with very little setup. We'll see how it goes as the game progresses though. Right now they are about the most powerful weapons I have so it's kind of moot. Rand Brittain posted:Was it whimsical music? Generally that means its one of the rare enemies that will shower you in goodies if you can best them before they flee. No, it's not an Octopuff or Cait, and the music was very ominous. Like another poster said, it was a dark avian type, and the sky was dark red/purple. The music was ominous map music that persisted through the battle too. I've only ever seen it once. As soon as the battle was over the sky went back to daytime and the music resumed the normal map theme. Kind of cool, just wondered if it means anything (I'll probably find out if I just play lol)

Was there a way to keep a character's default outfit in battle even with a subjob? I mean most of them are fine (I'm partial to Dancer Partitio myself), but would be nice to keep some characters in them.

As mentioned, you just need to survive a couple randoms (either keep trying to flee, or try to beat them, they're tough but still just randoms so they shouldn't be too terrible).

It is also my standard Octopath approach to beeline the endgame cities in order to attain the fanciest gear and whatever available goodies, like maybe an advanced class license, can be found there. This absolutely breaks the difficulty curve because I also refuse to ever let Néné or Aggie out of my party even when they outlevel everything else from these escapades, but hey, the game lets me do it and I think it's cool.

If anyone is trying to catch a chubby cait, the calculation is 2 large soulstones and then 1 medium for a 100% capture rate. I used him to beat that fucker guarding the rusty spear. I don’t even have armsmaster unlocked to use it yet, I just stumbled into the dungeon looking to grind levels for Partitio and Osvald who were only like level 35 each. Ochette and Throne are 50 though. It worked out. Ochette is so loving good and is basically carrying the team, though I’ve accidentally stacked too many one per fight monsters and they’re all too good to eat… Next time I play, I’ll start with her.

Thinking about it, Hikari might be the 'worst' character to start off with? Oswald and Partitio have utility based QoL via innate Analyze/money gathering that's always handy to have around. Oswald, Agnea, Temenos, Throne and Castti have level-based job actions so them being overleveled isn't a bad thing. Ochette is just kind of a beast and you can just passively keep your monsters updated. Ochette and Temenos mean you always have some way of hitting weakness, although Temenos requires his Latent to be available. Temenos and Throne are nice just for night-based passives to always be available. Both of Hikari's actions are 'honest', and while having him be strong is good for Challenge, Ochette can also do the same. He's still a strong character so it's not bad to have him be powerful so he can just cut enemies down to size. Partitio's actions are also both honest so he's probably second worst, but always having access to Merchant means you'll build up resources without really noticing, and once he almost masters Merchant you always have a source of full Donate BP at the start of a fight.

Hikari can’t challenge people unless he’s a specific level, so having him over-leveled could help you get better learned skills earlier.
