I'm pretty excited for the game. I wrote a lot of notes for the last demo in the survey they sent out cause theres a lot of things to work out and tweak. Namely the UI needed some work so hopefully it came out for the better.

It's pretty great as Olberic you can beat up everyone in town

Speaking of licensing and music, you can't record video clips. Curious if it's a demo limitation or a Square Enix limitation because of the music.

I took a look at the Octopath reddit and saw people were already number crunching and data-mining who the most optimal party members and the like were. I think that's a little much at this point.

Have they mentioned how XP works with people not in your party? Do they still level up or do you need to grind to keep them adequately leveled?

The Kotaku review is up and it seems the core gripe is the stories dont overlap which really bugs the reviewer. quote:Some of these stories are entertaining, others trite, but they’re always independent. They never intersect or share common ground. To buy that these eight adventurers would team up, putting aside their own motives to help each other out, requires a suspension of disbelief well beyond what most video games ask of the people who play them. Why would a hardened thief spend so much of his time hanging out with a goody-two-shoes healer? It’s never quite explained. I can see where that might bother you, but.. I feel like that's a pretty common trope in RPGs that seems weird to focus so much on.

Chaotic Flame posted:Usually you have the overarching narrative as the reason but you don't really have that here so I get it. I can see that but I'm just used to people showing up for whatever reason even if they just stand around in cutscenes or do nothing anyways. Another weird criticism is when plot reasons dictate that the player character is incapacitated while the villain escapes and Jason gripes about the other party members not being acknowledged or doing anything. Like do you just want them to show up to be token beaten down or paralyzed too for the plot? Is it really that big of a leap to assume that if the story participant is wounded too far to pursue that the rest of the party isnt? It just feels like the connectivity of stories is going to be the major wedge issue of this game and you either care or dont I guess.

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

My only gripe so far is that the difficulty of the boss fights really ramps up by the time you're on your 6th or 7th character. I think it was like a 20 minute slog to finish one of them. Also don't mess with Exotic Grandma

Olberic is a physical attacking beast and its hard pressed to find someone who keeps up. Tressa or Hannit if you cross into Soldier, maybe.

Finished all the Chapter 1s and naturally my levels are all over the place. Anywhere from 22 to 8. The level 20 grinding zone is right outside Stillsnow. So, uh, better to get to grinding I guess. Need to afford all this good Chapter 2 city gear, but man its expensive.

So is there a guide on what triggers party banter?
|
# ¿ Jul 18, 2018 04:14 |

Yeah I think each character has one per other characters chapter that all trigger at different points. My party for Primrose Chapter 2 of Olberic, Tressa, and Ophilia all triggered before I even went into the dungeon.

Your Computer posted:I assume he gets some more story in his later chapters but it's sort of funny how Therion is just straight up a thief (not to mention a jerk). No 'treasure hunter' or excuses, he just wanted to rob that mansion because it had valuable treasure in it (and Tressa was in as soon as she heard the word "treasure"!) I see we all screen shotted the same exchange

My level distribution is like this after doing Primrose Ch. 2 as the only one so far. Olberic (main) - 30 Tressa (2nd Char) - 28 Primrose - 25 Ophilia - 26 Everyone else is 18-20. Since Primrose's chapter 2 is on a route with level 20 encounters I spent some time to get everyone up to level 20. I'll have to level some people up more to get to where their suggested level is.

Imo Thief subclass is the best costume for everyone. Although Dancer Ophelia is neat looking and kind of funny when you think about the character. Same as Olberic.
