also not a badf idea

but do play the demo at some point

bbl dinner

Octopath is a good turn based JRPG, but it has some flaws. For having 8 characters, the characters don't really interact much and have no rhyme or reason to be traveling with each other. There's no real "overarching plot" either if you're looking for that, but each character does have their own story of 4 chapters, and it should take you 4-6 hours to do 4 chapters and if we assume the median of 5 hours, that's ATLEAST 40 hours of gameplay, that's not including sidequests, exploring and etc. The sidequests though, or some of them seem to be bare bones, the path actions sometimes are gimmicky and not rewarding either. The battle system is good though, but the game is very easy, to a point where it's kind of sad. There is a sort of class system, as each character has a class, but also can acquire a subjub from the other classes. The game is very pretty though and runs nice. The OST is also INCREDIBLE. I'd say if you're really into these types of games then spend the money, but if not then wait till christmas, though the game is out of stock everywhere right now, so christmas might not have many sales.

thanks

I just summed up my thoughts on the game.

I'm 100% sure there's more then just 4

4 seems too little

Max, you should post that on MAL

I've read that there's only 4

I'm sure they'd appreciate it

Maybe for the main characters

But what if chapter 5+ is basically all of them together

Then maybe karp

but I've seen no reason for that to exist as of right now.

I've played bravely default so i'm using that as my basis on what to expect

i would totally get this game if it was ~40 USD

oh well

to be fair, max's estimate of 40 hours minimum is assuming your rush things and do not do sidequests

you can easily get 60-100 out of this game I imagine

I think 40-60 is more accurate than 80-100

^

People saying this is an 80 hour or 100+ hour experience are just wrong

Even though I'm sure you could spend that long playing, technically

How much time would you think 8 separate run throughs be?

8 solo runs?

idk why you would do 8 single character runs umbreon

Yeah

About the same

Interesting

Like Max said, the stories don't overlap until the end, maybe

So there would be a little more retracing your steps and re-visiting towns

If anything, you might run into a bit of trouble if you're doing all your sidequests on the first character

How does the class system work?

Because then the leveling experience later on might not be as fun

But nobody has seen what happens after we beat everyone's chapter 4

you find shrines that let you reclass as the class shrine yo ufound

you can change your second class whenever, and you keep your primary

So I could just make everyone a dancer yeah?

Given that Nintendo confirmed post-game

You're right Karp

But nobody knows how substantial it will be

second class is limited to 1 per character

Bullshit game

lol

Boycotting it

Dancer is a good class too

We should make a class tier list

Not characters, since we did that

though

there would be little difference

Dancer is top tier tbh

Mostly because mp regen

I wish the game made a lot of stuff different depending on who you used

lol, I guess we can never have our 1v1 in League now Bopit

They killed my favourite champion apparently

scholar is best class tbh

ha ha

tressa makes a very sustainable scholar

the 4th merchant support skill halving SP consumption

^

that is what I was thinking]

anyone can have the passive with any combo

^

yeah I have min maxed skills

What a filthy powergamer

ha ha eye for an eye on olberic is fucking broken

I'm not going to bother girnding the JP to put the best skilsl on everyone

I didn't grind

JP?

I just had it lieng around

oh

i see

job points

every battle yo uget 3 things. money, xp, and jp

its like affinity in xbc2
