Gate of Finis: 2/8
Unholy Simeon
Unholy Miguel
Status update: Still alive, barely breathing.
SpoilerThe diaries.... I-I’m kinda shook
-
Update: The human form of stupidity that is I, left my laptop unplugged for two hours because of errands so it died yep and the dungeon is basically a gauntlet elite four type with no save points.
Prayed for a miracle on an autosave but sigh. This kinda reminds me of my no saving traumas in past pokemon games. You think a person would learn by now. Fuey.

A lot has happened but alas. we are near the end of Octopath Traveler.
It was a journey full of sleepless nights
literallyyet, we are thou made it to the finale.Catch a glimpse of the final 4! The team that will be facing the Ruins of Horburg dungeon!
SpoilerPicking these four was a whole debate (with mostly myself) in the level of the supreme court I mean you really can't comprehend how long it took smh.
H'aanit > Olberic = Because of her summons and she's forever my main.
Cyrus > Tressa = This one was reallyyyy hard because Tressa had been the most useful till now. Cyrus just made the cut because of his analyze ability and great elemental attack stat.
Therion > Alfyn = Although I loved Alfyn's Concoct, Runelord was just really meant for Therion imo. Transfer rune really works well with his skills. I also had planned Tressa as Runelord, but Therion existed.
Ophilia > Primrose = Nggghhh I struggled with this one as well but Ophilia got that healer skills on the back already and she's soooo good as a support.
That's it! I'll update once I you know, miraculously survive the final dungeon. Going through the end game is always bittersweet but the excitement is always the same.
I'll surely miss OT! I'm getting the feels already. But let's just forget about the grinding part thank you.
-
...I misinterpreted 'Transfer Rune works really well with [Therion's] skills" as "Transfer Rune interacts with Therion's skills directly", and was really confused until I realized that were probably referring to Armor Corrosive's ability to increase the damage output of everyone across the board. Whoops. Bit of an important distinction, since Transfer Rune can affect some of the Travelers' skills the same way it effects the Runes themselves.
...Including Olberic's Incite, which kinda defeats the whole point of the move in the first place~
I will say that from a pure optimization standpoint, only one of your main team is in their "ideal Job". Though that isn't exactly too big a deal, seeing as I've yet to see even the most stringent powergamers bring themselves to give the Sorcerer to anyone other than Cyrus anyway (outside of themed runs that 'ban' him, of course). Guess nobody wants to lose out on Dr. Strange Lite, huh?
Though it is probably worth noting that said powergamers wouldn't be caught dead having someone as a Starseer in their final team- even with Shooting Stars (three elements, all at once in a single spell! What are you fools doing?!) and Steorra's Prophecy wrecking havoc, they still prefer to treat it as little more than a rocky road they have to suffer through in order to reach BP Eater. It's just kinda sad, really...
Anyway, good luck storming the Gate! Things are pretty tricky on the other side, but probably not a whole lot you haven't seen before, so be sure to give it all out!
...I do have one last bit of advice, but it is technically a mechanical spoiler, so don't open the tab if you want to go in completely fresh:
SpoilerDon't neglect the other 4 party members- you'll need all eight Travelers to overcome the Gate at last!
-
Yo, Steorra and Winnehild’s divine skill are so OP I could probably OHKO a single dungeon boss in using one of these moves. I do agree that I rarely use most of the Starseer’s skills but her divine skill and shooting star are so useful in battle sometimes and they do the job. So powergamers, you can’t sit with us.
SpoilerDon’t worry, I don’t plan to neglect them lol in fact I did level them up all the way to atleast 63-ish in case I ever need them and huzzah, I will do need them lol.
Thank you for the insight. Yea, my team is not really uber material for competitive cause so I’ll probably be switching it up and play with some synergies a bit more. Though I’ll probably stick with this one.
Thanks for accompanying through the end Autumn in a way You kinda became my mentor this whole playthrough lol
-
Funny you should mention Winnehild's Battle Cry- that skill on Ha'anit is the strongest attack in the game~ Well, with a little bit of extra setup, anyway. But even without that, it is still a terrifyingly powerful barrage of blades from seemingly all directions, and it's really, really hard to stand strong against something like that!
Ah, don't worry about it! It's been pretty fun being to help out on my end.

If Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash (which might be a unicorn) turns out to be true then I might just play around and buy 1000 copies of SwSh cause I’m sold in every possible way.

Serebii: Edit @ 23:10: The Pokémon showed up again, but when it got startled before it got in full view, its mane lit up in a rainbow colour. It makes a similar sound to Ponyta in Pokémon Refresh in previous games
I want a Rainbow Ponyta
Also Maqqy, how about 999 copies for you and 1 for lil' ol me? -
@Autumn Zephyr I'm actually really wishing for a fire/fairy combination since that will be something wonderful.
@SilverAngelus You might actually get your wish silver!! and of course, I can "share" one with you. Lol
-
Ophilia's journey is now over.
I guess that concludes everything.
I wasn't aware that finishing your protag's story will be the cue to roll the credits lol but that was to be expected. So I got that already when I finished H'annit's.
TIME FOR POST GAAMMMEEE
By that, it's time to get that 4 secret jobs aayyeeee hopefully I don't have to grind too much? Almost all my party members are close to level 60.
I think I'm almost decided on who are gonna be my final members for the "final dungeon" the redditors are speaking of.
We will see!
-
Cyrus did exceptionally well and can now take a break with his studies for now.
His story was the most fun to do since it was really engaging with all the minor q & a’s.
Therese also had her redemption. Sis did good on chap 3.
One more char to go.... feeling nervous
-
Tressa can now finally retire. I mean, she’s now stinking rich what even.
2 more to gooo
It feels kind of bittersweet.

Mostly from the players, from what I've found. It's almost like they saw that she was a salesperson and immediately assumed that she'd be just as morally bankrupt as the dippity-doo from her Ch. 2. Guess that's kinda to be expected, though, seeing as the last merchant Octopath's team made was a self-righteous prick, even throughout the entirety of his, ah, "redemption arc"...
-
Erutus Profiteur from the Bravely games, of course. Dude's every bit as slimy as he looks. At least nobody in Octopath tried to seize all of the water supplies in a desert nation in attempt to build a monopoly, right?
-
Olberic has met his finale.
I’m happy for him.
3 more to go! I’m near at the end..

"After reuniting with his
ex-boyfriendwar buddy, the oldest member of the group decides that the only way up from single-handedly turning the tides of a war was to dispose of a corrupt despot in some town he hadn't even heard of before. A bit of an odd choice, perhaps, but hardly the most bizarre circumstance the group had to be traveling either."Does that sound about right?

Primrose can finally rest and take a chill pill.
Her story was the most engaging and emotional for me. She really deserves everything.
Oh and if you wanna see what perfection is like, take a look below.
Spoiler*single tear rolls down
I-its beautiful..

Done with Alfyn!
Best OG Healer. Sorry Ophilia, still love you though.
-
Therion
I super love those art drawings in the end.
Therion is one of the s in the game we stan him.

Finished H’aanit’s story.
......
That’s it?

*Breathes
Finally after two millenniums I have reached the end game of Octopath and I am now on the last chap for all the characters.
Along the way, there were parts that felt like a chore sometimes. Especially when I have to give an ample amount of time to grind for certain bosses (pretty sure this gave me insomnia), some of the plots were a bit... bland. Other than some points that stood out though.
All of Chap 1 were great, Chap 2 = Chap 3 were mids so I'm hoping the finale for them will be the best one since I'm pretty much excited to see what will unfold and everything were leading up to this point. Also based from the redditors, really can't wait for post game as well
P.S. I decided to get the last 4 secret jobs when I finally reach post game since I'm pretty much under-leveled and will be completely annihilated if I even attempt to challenge it skkkskskks so pretty stoked about that too
-
Ya’ll read the new chap of One Piece RIGHT NOW things are really getting crazy goodness gracious.

Alfyn is a sweet and soft boi. Must protect at all costs. Though he can obliterate you if he wants to.

@Autumn Zephyr Small Update: Hired Help is broken as f................... fff
-
Behold! The power of cheating the party count even more dramatically then than the others!
...Now I kinda want to see a challenge playthrough where the party's Ha'anit, Tressa, Primrose, and Ophelia, and the only non-basic offensive maneuver they're allowed to do is summon someone else. Does seem like it'd have issue breaking guards, admittedly, but isn't that what smart Allures and Guides are for?
I didn't expect this to be an all-girls team, help
-
It's tiiiime to dive in on Chap 2!! Sneak peek of the team so far:
I'm still going on order with how I gathered all the members. So H'aanit comes first naturally!! Oh yea her chap 2 is *recommended lvl. 27..... rip

@@Autumn Zephyr Oooh is Tressa that OP? I've always taught that Alfyn adn H'aanit are broken but I guess I will have to see
@Chrixai Definitely try it! Give us an update too
-
...Whoops, I think I may have gone overboard here...
SpoilerOh, Tressa's definitely a bit of a nice unit throughout the game. Having access to two weapons and the coveted Wind element before subclasses helps her serve as a versatile Guard-Breaker rivaled only by Cyrus (and the Merchant and Scholar don't share weapons or Magic, making the combination even better, as you seem to have figured out already). This gets even more nuts once she earns the command Hired Help, which adds Swords, Axes, Daggers (with bonus status effect chances!), and Light to her already substantial pool, albeit at the cost of a bit of Gold.
But Gold is where she is meant to shine anyway, with her literally looting money off of dead people when changing maps (...I still can't get over that detail ), being able to buy better (and occasionally cheaper!) items off of people than the town's shop (some of which can't just be stolen by Therion), and eventually learning skills that grant a 25% chance to save an item she uses (and still get the effects) and a bonus to Gold earned after battle though her Merchant Class.
Add in the Donate BP ability to help fuel more focused characters' shenanigans, versatile stats that let her do well in any class you put her in (though she, as a person, isn't exactly fond of being a Thief), and incredible sustainability in glass cannon-type subclasses thanks to Rest (seriously, why is this thing free?) and Sidestep (Physical damage? What's that?), and you've got a very handy character on your hands.
...And then things get actually nuts in the late game. I won't go into detail there since most of the insanity involves spoilers, though.
-
I’m @ Cyrus’ story and I just want to say... that Therese is a piece of crap. Sis got up and snitched cause she got jealous? Oh well, things did go well in the end. Still, Therese will catch these hands if we ever meet in a ditch.
Maybe on the later chaps she will improve? She better. Girlie needs some love advice.
-
You know, I can really forgive GF for all the misgivings in Pokemon Sw/Sh if (and I hope) they make the games more challenging. USUM was a little bit hard for the most part with the totem battles, so I’m kind of optimistic. I just missed the difficulty that Gen 1 and 2 gave to me to be honest. Hard mode, please exist.

@Skull Servant HG/SS maybe were the easiest, but the same doesn’t qualify for GSC. Those games were entirely different from their remakes because the Physical/Special split weren’t implemented yet. Plus the non existence of certain items and TMs.
I do agree that our experience with the games have made us basically experts already. I just believe that GF can still pull a Reborn on the games, even without the field effects and everything.
@Gentleman Jaggi Claire, Whitney, Morty and even Jasmine were really hard to deal with atleast on the first or three times. I also had to level all my mons to 50 before I challenged the league. I generally don’t miss the grinding of it all, but the sense of preparing yourself for the battle is something that is now profoundly lost with the recent games I must say.

I have like 3 characters more to find in Octopath... how did that went so fast noooo
- Show previous comments 1 more

@DreamblitzX Yes basically when you find each character you finish chapter 1 then chap 2 opens up. Wait a min.. what do you mean haven’t played it? Why not??
@Wolfox You always say that and I don’t know if I should be scared or not...
-
Primrose’s chapter 1 was this close on me quitting this game. Na ah, don’t play with my feelings OT. Don’t do that... please

@SilverAngelus Doctor, I might need a Psychiatrist instead.
I actually have a question guys did you do the sidequests? I'm kind of just going along with whatever I stumble but is there a particular kind that I should watch out for? Or should I do it all for plot's sake?
Edit: @Autumn Zephyr "Never really lets up" does that mean = tragic ending? .................... why does the game developer hate Primrose she doesn't deserve this

I'm about to choose my starter in octopath traveler wish me luck ~

@Autumn Zephyr Um not gonna lie, kinda read that again a few times to understand it. Same goes with the in-game text. I was shooked by the accent.
@SilverAngelus You know I can't resist my boy Sobble :((( I will loan you octopath money Sol..
This game is breathtaking and I was really surprised that they had voice overs!! OT coming in strong.

Ayyyyyeeee
Spoiler*Proceeds to put them on the shelf for 2 decades till done with other games on hold..... sigh

Yes bishesss I’m finally done with botw!! Lol It took me two months to finished that gigantic arsh game but!! Every moment was really fun. It’s gonna be hard to let go of that cartridge. But alas, all good things must end.
Since another one must begin!! I finally got Octopath Traveler and I am p s y c h e d ! ! ! I know next to nothing about this game and I’m coming in clueless. Let’s gooooooo
P.S. I’m playing this version on my pc rather than my switch. Seems more fitting on windows for me since it reminds me of ragnarok mmo. Ooh nostalgia coming in.
-
I’m quite excited about Little Town Hero. To hear that Toby Fox himself made the soundtrack? Guess GF decided to invest on it a lot more than SwSh. To be honest, it’s understandable.
