I just walked into a little mountain town called Crackridge and stumbled into something of a trap.

Some weird scholar is blocking a door and because I was too lazy to get Castti, I just assaulted this guy with Ochette.

I've been wacking that guy with my Pok�mon for about half an hour now and despite his rather low rating, he keeps tanking hits like a motherfucker. I had to put my Switch down and take a break.

I don't want to be spoiled on what this guy is guarding, but how many HP does he have??? Is this random scholar some kind of hidden super-boss?

If it's one of those cases where you're not supposed to fight an NPC, I'll probably just take the loss and put him to sleep later...

There�s a reason that guy is so tough. The item behind him is From the Far Reaches of Hell, hence why he is freaking the gently caress out if you talk to him or scrutinize/inquire. Especially at night! You need the book for a side quest that eventually unlocks the secret boss.

Huh, explains why his info an Casttinazing him was just something like the word doom repeated endlessly

welp I guess I'll just let him cave Ochette's head in and then come back later with some drugs and solve this the peaceful way

That's kind of a coincidence, I was searching for that thing! Now I actually have two out of three quest items for that quest. (Also it turned out I was being overly dramatic: After five more minutes, the fucker suddenly dropped unconscious from Ochette's owl giving him one last peck. Kind of anticlimactic.)

Oops, made some progress with Ochette's story and already hit the damage cap. Now I know why goons prefer to make Ochette a Hunter/Warrior combo. Curse me and my love for fancy hats making her an inventor instead. :lol:

Luckily JP is universal, so all that JP you save from being in Inventor can immediately be used to unlock abilities in Warrior.

Yeah, that's one of those mechanics you're suddenly very glad for. I had to reshuffle quite a bit since I haven't unlocked any additional licenses yet bug Ochette is now a cyborg. I mean Hunter/Warrior. gently caress. Wonder why I made that error.

Thr�ne is now the inventor and Hikari has to be a hunter, at least until I bother with unlocking more subjobs. :v:

And then there's the case of Hikari fighting one-on-one in an arena, until the last fight derails into a Gladiator-uprising and when Hikari continues fighting Evil Gladiator Man to prevent him from saving his employer from the Good Gladiators, he suddenly goes "I'll fight you with my friends! Cue a boss fight with the complete party.

With the obvious assumption being that the rest of the party rushes down from the stands to join Hikari, now that the fight isn't a duel anymore.

I love this game. I'm doing all character chapters at the same time. The music is just so good, I'm doing Partitio ch. 3 and had to come here and post his theme.

Partitio with the inventor catapult has been my MVP

Huh. You know, I never considered you could play a game like Octopath II any other way. :v:

In my case, Ochette as Hunter/Warrior has turned into a powerhouse. I've been regularly hitting 15-16k damage now in boss fights. Her latent power is like a boss-ending punch.

But I've also finally made my way through Partitio's chapter 3 and, wow. I knew I was in for a great time when Partitio suggested stripping down in front of Alrond.

The chapter also had some other great stuff, like how suddenly, the game involved your completed Partitio-sidequests. Pardi impressed Grand Duke Alrond a lot with inventing the music industry. I later celebrated this event by buying new tavern music from the big new mall now open in Wellgrove.

Also great was Ochette suddenly suggesting to make a meat-only department store and starting to list some of the food items you can turn monsters into. Sorry Ochette, I'm not sure if your Meat Mall idea will catch on. :allears:

The idea of someone carrying a huge steam engine around as some sort of portable stealth shield was also not something I'd have expected.

Great chapter, 10/10 salted seafoods.

I know everyone talks about Armsmaster Hikari but I honestly decided to give the class to Agnea and it is.. weirdly working out very well?

A lot of fights have adds involved or they change up weaknesses, so her latent skill + sixfold strike ends up being really drat useful. Plus she can take advantage of the high elemental attack from staves with her wind dancer skills. I just need to grind her a bit on Warrior to unlock break damage and she honestly might start putting out as much damage in single blows as my Hikari

Sorry Hikari, I guess you�re going to be wearing those dog ears forever

Recently I accidentally unlocked armsmaster because the city I was rushing to was, according to Oswald's story, supposed to be the graveyard of an important mage. And I of course took this to mean, "Score, that's where one of the hidden magic classes must be!"

Welp, turns out armsmaster is far too limited for my taste. For those who want to know:

Armsmaster-abilities only work if you are wearing the relics you need to unlock them in the first place. So you can really only use this class if you're willing to forego all other equipment options for them. Also Hikari looks kind of silly in this get-up.

Well, since Hikaris is part of my B-team anyway, and since he already got all the important stuff by soaking up apothecary and hunter. And merchant, because :lol:

for a while at least one of my party was carrying an item to attract Caiths and that blasted my everything through the roof.

Protip: If you combine Exp+, Money+ and Cait-items/abilities on the same party, be prepared for grinding just being cancelled. :allears:

Anyway, on my latest attempt to sink all those tons of ability points I've collected, I found out Ochette's apothecary costume makes her look like a magical girl. Very cute! But after getting all the skills I've decided Warrior-Ochette is a better fit.

Since their helper abilities are so useful, I have by now taught half the party to be back-up apothecaries and I rock multiple clerics and scholars. I still have thousands and thousands of points left, even after finally buying up more merchant-licenses to spread their abilities faster. I seriously hope the two hidden magic jobs use some of those points, Ochette alone still has 15k points left!

Fake edit:

I've sunk 61+ hours into the game so far, and the only thing I could complain about is that eventually, I will have finished the game and then I'll have to wait for Octopath III. That really sucks!

ApplesandOranges posted:

I think it's more than just Hikari, things like Castti's Desperate Measures or even generic job actions like Aeber's Reckoning just perform better with less set-up.

Magic can still be potent but it does require more finangling. Also doesn't help that for some reason, physical buffing is easier than magic buffing - for instance, Castti can concot physical buffs but not magical ones, so the only reliable source of targeted magical buffing is Peacock Strut.

Not exactly -Agnea as Scholar can spread all the Scholar's buffs across the party with her latent power, and Ochette can find some monsters with super-buffing powers. Though I've found the really OP monsters are 1-time use, like the story Pok�mon. Something like the Revenant boosts everything on everyone, and as the Revenant can only be activated on a full boost, those buffs will stay for a good, long while. It's a real "gently caress it, this enemy is done" button.

Welp, did my first final chapter today, mostly on accident because I couldn't believe Ochette with her 3 chapter 2s would actually for real end after chapter 3. Yeah, I'm dumb sometimes.

Did you know I was always rolling my eyes at the Humans on Ochette's island going on about "we need more land for our village"? I was always screaming at the screen you don't need two villages, you basically live on top of each other already!!!!!!!!1111 so I was genuinely laughing when one demon invasion later, the loving Humans finally decided to become reasonable and both villages are now sharing land like one big village. A reasonable end to a reasonable chapter! (Also, that poor dog.)

Well, Ochette has now retired from the party at level 57 to give other leaders time to shine. I flipped a coin and Armsmaster Casti is up next! I sure hope I can actually find a second relic for her soon, or this may end up very silly. :v:

Mega64 posted:

My only nitpick with Ochette is (full-game spoilers) she doesn't really have any personal growth during the course of her story, though that's probably more because beastlings are already pretty pure at heart due to their origins. She does decide to become the island's next protector, but that compassion for others, beast and human, has always been part of her character.

That's very minor though, Ochette owns regardless.

Ochette's story is mostly about learning not to be a lazy rear end, uninterested in everything not on her island. In the beginning, she only wants to hunt and eat. In the end, after returning home, she has realized that being the protector is actual work someone has to do, and involves more than just hunting and eating. Basically, she goes from being Ochette to being Ochette+ (this is a Might and Magic II reference)

And Ochette can capture wind monsters.

Some of which are insane, because monster attacks can also come with debuffs and status effects.

One of my wind monsters had a wind group attack which could cause instant death. That weird bird stayed with me for a long time.

Finished everyone's stories except Agnea's and Partitio's (though I'm pretty sure I'm at the save point right before Partitio's boss now), some disparate thoughts;

I went through the eastern continent's stories first, and then did everyone on the western continent; with the final chapters in the order of Ochette>Thron�>Temenos>Osvald>Hikari>Castti.
I noticed a little while back while thinking about some of the villains like Harvey and Trousseau that their names in the order of the travelers (with Osvald and Temenos being the first O and T) they seem to spell HTAPOTCO; OCTOPATH backwards which is incredibly cool, it's what I hoped they do in the first game and had been looking out for for a while.
Osvald - Harvey
Castti - Trousseau
Temenos - ??? No clue someone with an A but his story had nobody that started with an A
Ochette - ??? Whoever the dark hunter is probably starts with a P, I'm thinking that it's Roi from Temenos' story who got corrupted by the Darkblood Bow who decided to change his name
Partitio - ??? Also no idea but Ori starts with an O, and she keeps mentioning a brother that's curiously absent from the story, and since Ori and Roi are like one letter apart it'd be very Octopath/Bravely-tier punny name to have them be some evil sibling duo orchestrating poo poo
Agnea - ??? No idea but they start with a T, but honestly I cannot remember a single npc from her story aside from Dolcinaea and Vanessa
Thron� - Claude
Hikari - Oboro, who for a long while kind of has just been a ??? nonentity, but I'm thinking he might actually be Kazan; he's the only one of Hikari's friend group we don't have a solid backstory for and Benkei apparently also changed his name when he swapped allegiance to Ku, and Oboro's journal heavily mentions some complicated plan which would be in Kazan's wheelhouse

I'm a little confused on the specifics but Trousseau has to be another one of Claude's sons right? Trousseau i believe was an orphan with his sister, he has the same hair colour as Claude, and he initially lives in Winterbloom, which, seeing as Sebastian/Father stuck around there a lot and took care of things might be another location to shunt Claude's children to. Apparently Trousseau during his second phase also gains additional weaknesses which are the exact weaknesses that Claude has, which my boyfriend noticed as I was streaming the game to him on my second attempt of fighting Trousseau, which I feel is a pretty cool clue to that if it is the case.
Assuming that Trousseau is Claude's son, it also makes sense that they're both weak to Dark from the start; if my assumption that Claude and the entirety of the Blacksnakes and his children exist to find a suitable vessel for Vide (which ends up being Thron�), then them being weak to Dark to make it easier for Vide to possess them makes sense.

The part that I'm confused on is Castti's involvement in this; one of the travel banters during Thron�'s final chapter says that Castti had been to Lostseed before which was a whole lot of ??? but with Trousseau straight up saying that he wished that she had listened to his words that day it makes sense that the two of them came to Lostseed together, with Trousseau being drawn there due to being one of Claude's children, and since Claude has weird vampire mind control powers when Castti rejected that simply wiped her memory of the events. I'm assuming that this implies that Castti's later memory loss is also somehow a part of this? Since her memory loss afterwards doesn't seem to be very explained beyond just being another side effect of the poison rain, but it's never really stated that that is one.
I kind of wish that Castti was a bit more morally ambiguous before losing her memory honestly; it would've been cool to have fakeout double memory shenanigans and have the final chapter reveal that Castti was complicit with Trousseau, and specifically brought everyone back in time to catch their poison rain after falling for whatever the gently caress Claude told them, and that all the memories she had with Malaya are what she wished she did instead, her cognitive version of Malaya effectively being her conscious telling her what she could have done if not for Claude's mind poisoning, setting Malaya and Trousseau up as basically being the angel and devil on her shoulder, the final fight with Trousseau also rebuking that past. I know it's absolutely not what the game was going for with Castti's story but out of everyone hers really feels the most boring; she has a great first chapter and a really good last one but all of her middle chapters are so incredibly dull and predictable.

In terms of difficulty the Mahamaowl (Mahina?) was definitely the hardest one by a massive margin, followed by Trousseau whose poison rain gimmick left me incredibly hosed up; by the time I finished his fight my party had maybe ~500 max hp. I died to Claude and Kaldena once when they pull out their action-blocking/instakill gimmicks but Harvey and Mugen were absolute jokes, I didn't die to either once; though in Harvey's case it's pretty fitting that he just got absolutely chumped by Osvald. I am kind of confused as to what the hell happened to Harvey in the end since he seemed to just kind of, evaporate to somewhere, it wasn't the same animation they used to denote the shadow monsters dying so that was a bit weird.

I'm also pretty certain now that the Shadow, or the 7th source, or the one true magic or whatever is just some kind of interdimensional emotional energy, and how it manifests depending heavily on why it's drawn out and the user; Hikari basically confronting his shadow and turning it into the light is very similar to Osvald and Harvey both managing to access the One True Magic but somehow still manifesting in different ways. Since the Shadow and Vide seem to not be of this world as per the monsters appearing during Ochette's Scarlet Moon, it's possible that there's some weird imbalance caused by Dar'qest or whatever his name was ages ago that made the source and Vide be mostly shadow-oriented, being influenced by him. Since Vide and Hinoekagura are the only new gods and seem to be the sources of the two divine jobs this game I'm also thinking that they may be the same thing initially; if the 7th source is able to be both light and shadow, the dawn and the night, then if Hinoekagura split off to give the dawn to Solistia some time in the past, it makes sense that Vide is stuck only with the night, which is why everyone that attempts to manifest the source from that other dimension/Vide is only able to harness it in a way that manifests as Shadow, while Osvald who draws off his love for his daughter, and Hikari who would assumedly have both the blood of Vide through Clan Ku's lineage and Hinoekagura's through his mother is able to access both as well.

Also is it just me or does the Conjurer class seem like garbage. Overall the advanced jobs this game haven't really seemed that worth it beyond Arcanist Osvald being able to pump out 30k per turn.

I got some mileage out of inventor's "now every damage is critical damage" skill, and that dumb catapult, but I also only have one relic for arms master, and haven't found the other two super-jobs at all, so I'm basically using inventor because it's the only bonus job I actually managed to develop, :lol:

I�m on chapter 3 of Castti�s story and poo poo�s real hosed up

Edit: Malaya what the the fuckkkkkkkkkk this is so sad

Yeah, right?

Back when I was playing Castti's story, I was for some reason totally convinced Malaya was evil, and walked into chapter 3 expecting a backstab. Instead it turns out no, Malaya was not only Castti's best friend, but also deader than disco. Castti spoke only to a delusion formed from her suppressed memories trying to get out! Kind of a surprise.

Don't read those spoilers if you haven't finished chapter 4 yet:

Castti finally got to take a well-deserved nap after saving an entire kingdom. Well done!

Also it finally dawned on me that this was the kingdom the people of Saih were fighting with. For some reason I had assumed that after Khu wrecked the place, Saih would have been taken over and that the foreign soldiers fighting the refugees must have been under the command of the Khu Kingdom. Boy, was I wrong.

Apparently Khu just absolutely destroyed Saih and then left, huh.

Trusseau was just a mother of gently caress, to quote the AVGN. I brought my level 57 Ochette with my otherwise level-apprpriate team, and this rear end in a top hat pelted us with so many status effects, he still very nearly took us down.

The fight is also on a timer: Trusseau's poison rain will constantly lower the party's max HP, making it tougher and tougher to survive if the fight drags on. Eventually, I panicked and blew a bunch of cash (two of my party had Merchant as subjobs) on max boosted highered help, to aid my two main damage dealers (Weaponmaster Castti and Hunter-Warrior Ochette) also blasting the boss with everything they got. Trusseau survived, held a villain speech and powered up for phase 2 of the fight. I then panicked a little more.

Turns out we did so much damage in that one turn, we blew through almost all of Trusseau's HP, anyway. A single axe hit from Castti brought him down. I like to imagine Castti just stove his ribs in right after he stopped talking.

Then of course defeating Mad Man Trusseau wasn't enough, she also had to do some speed-alchemizing to combine all story-relevant remedies into one super-medicine. Then she ran around healing everyone the soldiers hadn't dragged out of the poison rain in time.

Stop, Castti. Stop! You're doing too much, take some rest, for the gods sake!

And then she slept. :allears:

I do wish the late-game bosses, especially the bosses for each character's last chapter, had more HP. Wonder how hard that'd be to mod into the PC version since it's really my only issue with the gameplay. I "solved" the problem by nerfing myself intentionally so the fights would take more than three turns but it'd be nice to have the opportunity to really cut loose for more fights than just the superboss.

I'm kind of glad they aren't stronger, :lol:

I'm not one of those super-players who min-max themselves to death and back, every final chapter boss so far was nail-baitingly close.

That was, after all, why I panicked when Trusseau powered up -my party was down to ca. 40% maximum HP and nearly every serious hit would have killed a party member. We were running on empty pretty much, hadn't Castti saved us all with her trusty axe. :v:

Right now I have maybe 3-4 party members that can consistently do more than 9999 damage on a consistent basis without blowing huge amounts of cash: Ochette, Hikari, Castti, and Thr�ne on a good day. To be fair, that's plenty and from what I observed, boss fights seem to be balanced around the fact that you can deal some pretty heavy damage, as every time I managed to pull a big set-up more than once, the boss had powered up enough to drop the total damage by massive amounts.

Like, for example Ochette would do 14k damage in the first phase of a boss fight, and then later, with the boss powered up, the exaxt same set-up would only get me around 8k or lower. Same with Hikari, first major hit in a battle: Something like 11-13k. Follow-up with the same amount of boosting and buffing, against the same boss but in a later phase: around 6k.

Those huge damage drop-offs seem to mean that if you have a powerful party, but don't immediately blast through all of a boss's HP, the resulting power-up can potentially make the last part of the battle a magnitude harder.

The devs just clearly underestimated how far players are willing to go to achieve infinite damage. :v:

Clearly, just giving bosses more HP would just make the game more tedious. It would already help a lot to program boss phases to have separate HP blocks, because then the more powerful later phases would already defuse player-shennanigans a lot.

Fake edit: Of course, that's probably harder to patch in than just giving every boss a billion more HP
