And so end the single greatest case of "well, that escalated quickly!" in the entire game! Dude just wanted to return a library book, not get caught up in some murderous steroid cult! At least there's one fewer murderous steroid cult branch in the world now, right?

Lmao I didn't realized but that was how it exactly went  

I also really find it funny on how he's so oblivious (which I really like about him) and that he's "handsomeness" got him into trouble  I mean is it his fault he's good-looking? Lol.

I personally think that he's ace, and never bothered learning the associated social cues as a result. The game itself never bothers with anything more than "he's just as dense as most of the tomes he reads", though, so who can really tell at this point?

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"...

That's kind of ridiculous lol you wouldn't expect that kind of personality on an MC but well, I did found most players really love her so I guess it kinda goes equal.

Hmmm wait a min who might you be talking about? 

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?

"After reuniting with his ex-boyfriend war 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?

That sounded almost exactly the same... are you the author of this game Autumn?

...Uuuuuuh, no?

She certainly had a lot rougher than the other Travelers, to say the least. She deserves every moment of rest she can get...

It’s amazing how strong-willed she is and the way she talks like the weight of her journey was nothing more of a hassle. I’m thankful she met H’annit and the others.

I also wish she gets a far more deserving man. Someone who’s hot too. *whispers pleaz to post game

Alfyn: proving that healers make truly terrifying enemies if you get on their bad side since 2018. Dude didn't even need his axe half the time! 

Concoct is a terrifying skill dear lord  

It’s so fun experimenting with it though!

Well, yes and no. Her story is that straightforward on its own, but there's an extra little bit of information that can be found if you go back the room you fought Redeye in. 

Ayyee thank you for letting me know  

@Maqqy I can’t afford it.   I have however seen on YouTube, and Ima buy

@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

What game is this?? :0

Edit: Nevermind, Zephyr said. I might try this. 

@@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...

She doesn’t really play a major part in the Story.

Cyrus is my second favorite character, after Therion.

Good. 

I love Cyrus too and his eccentric personality and slight denseness lol. Out of all them so far, my favorite is Primrose.

However, H’aanit is and will forever be my main.

though im totally on board for that hard mode you mentioned. it was one of the best features bw2 added, and subsequently got axed for ??? reason.

its not even that hard to make. bring it back gamefriq.

The problem with Gen II is that the level curve basically becomes a flat line once you reach Ecruteak City because you can go basically anywhere from there.

Even then Claire is still a legit threat though even if in part due to Dragons still being rather hard to deal with at the time.

@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.

Oh there's much 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...

Be scared if you think you should be

I think the hospital will wind up getting tired of seeing you. Almost every character will eventually have their turn on the feel wagon, and Primrose's story in particular just... never really lets up.

Doctor: Show me where the pain started

Maqqy: *Points to Primrose Chapter 1*

@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 

Ah, so thou doth hunten For Master? Interesting...

I wanna play 

@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.

Lions, eagles or deer? 

I plan to go through all of them but my first choice was always black eagles. None can do it like Edelgard let's be real.

True. 

Is that a hint or smth? Might be overthinking but yess I am joyful to battle..

It's one of Olberic's start battles quotes 

Ooohhh
