RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 22nd, 2018
I just started with Ophilia because I'm going to do everyone in Octopath order. Was easier than trying to decide who to pick each time freely. XD
RE: Octopath Traveler - Chloe - Jul 22nd, 2018
Which job does Ophilia start out with, compared to Primrose?
RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 22nd, 2018
She's a cleric, and starts with the ability to heal and use holy light along with her physical attack. You'll get everyone though as who you choose is just who you start the game with and you use them to find the other characters to get them in your party to use/play as.
RE: Octopath Traveler - Hotspot - Jul 22nd, 2018
I kind of want to get Octopath soon, but at the same time, I don't want to spend 60 dollars right now. I also took a break on playing Legend of Zorldo: Breath of the wig. I feel like I should play one game at a time, and complete it.
I was looking into it a bit more, and was un-aware of the sub classes, you can add to the characters and how it changes their wardrobe. Which is really nice, because I dislike it when characters can only use abilities that the creators gave them. I like games like Final Fantasy 12, where they allow you to give characters abilities, or weapons, based off of what you want to give them.. so it's a nice feature they put in there.
If Octopath was a 3D game, I'd definitely make Olberic a dancer, so I can see those muscles henny. lol
I knew of Prim Rose because of the trailer from last year, and already thought she was cool... She could become my main, I don't know yet. Cyrus doesn't appeal that much to me, but he is a mage, and I like mages.. Tressa also looks cool, she seems like the energetic quirky type of character that I like so much, and I like the weapons she can use, and her ability to use wind magic. Therion also looks really cool, I also like thief type characters.
It's also cool to see the characters as mainly adults, and not kids, or teenagers.

Personally I started my file with Olbreic, the whole knight gets betrayed stick seemed up my alley. I'm going to get the Cleric next since Ophilia's closer & probably go after Primrose afterwards. My only issue is your charged outrageous prices for equipment & monsters barely drop enough cash for afew handfulls of grapes & plums. Wtff¿?

I've only just gotten her though so I haven't had enough time to see how much and how often she finds money.
RE: Octopath Traveler - ShiraNoMai - Jul 23rd, 2018
It seems best to use "Collect" when it's either a human or boss since they seem to hold the most money. Also I find that looking for plums and other healing items are way easier to get in the wild than by purchasing them.
This game is fucking great so far. Moony is following a clockwise motion in the "OCTOPATH" and I've loved Primrose's story the most (I chose her in the demo from last year) and adore Tressa's character. We're up to Alfyn, so only 2 more characters to recruit.
RE: Octopath Traveler - King Atem - Jul 23rd, 2018
Hmm.. I'll head over & fetch Teresa after I've gotten through Primrose's story path. Wow you guys (Moonface & Shira) are a lot further then I am. Though if queenzelda's Twitter posts are any indication: https://mobile.twitter.com/queenzelda01/status/1020944858020655104?p=v she's way further then most of us. XD
RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 23rd, 2018
I've spent most of my free time at the weekend playing it. Progress will be slower during the week since I only want to play the game with Shira present so she doesn't miss out on any plot, unless she tells me to do otherwise.
RE: Octopath Traveler - queenzelda - Jul 23rd, 2018
..Well I did get Octopath Traveler a bit earlier & I tend to grind through JRPG's quickly if I'm enjoying them & omg am I ever enjoying OT. I'm on chapter 2 of the knight Olberick's story atmo. I've been through chapter 1 of all 8 characters & have thus far only have done chapter 2 for: Primrose, & Alfyn. I wanted to head over for Ophelia's chapter 2 but trying to figure out how to navigate the map is a pain in the arse. Oh, well at least at lvl 30 for most of my group with the knights chapter had been a bit of a cake walk. I'm sure the boss will be a pain, they usually are.
RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 23rd, 2018
Have you challenged any of the townspeople to fights yet Queen who aren't required to be challenged for a quest?

A woman in the same town, & someone random while going through the theif's story path. I don't partake that often, just when the mood strikes me. I guess I'm weird, while others might battle everyone they can I'm kind of passive about it.
Edit: Oh yea, there was a side quest I did where I challenged this a-hole who was insisting on this girl go out with him. It was totally worth wailing on him impo: lmao.
RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 23rd, 2018
Excluding quests, I've only battled people in front of doorways so that I can get inside and get the loot. I might do that less now that I have Primrose though since I can try Alluring people away which is less risky.
RE: Octopath Traveler - queenzelda - Jul 23rd, 2018
Nu, it's pretty risky even then. With Primrose you get a certain % that she can allure some one to follow her & some npc's have a pretty low parentage. You only get 4 times that you can fail, & if you fail 4 times you have to pay the bar-keep to reset the town for you. (According to what Jim Sterling said in his review, idk as I try to keep things to a minimum.) So, just watch it if you do try using her ability. (That & some you can't even use allure on anyway.)
RE: Octopath Traveler - Moonface - Jul 23rd, 2018
Oh, it works similar to the Scrutinise skill of Cyrus then. I guess it's just a matter of deciding whether it's safer to fight them or allure them.
