Octopath Traveler Series Video Game • Page 10

Im happy to hear about some of these changes. I’m in the chapter 3’s now on OT 1 and I liiiiiiiike the game, but I’m not sure I love it, owing mostly to the monotonous structure and bland stories.

The open structure is a cool idea, but I’ve found it sucks out any sense of dramatic development. I don’t feel like I’m in the midst of a story, I don’t feel like the drama is escalating or like the story is going anywhere.

The gameplay is a lot of fun, and I love micromanaging a job system, but every time I start a new chapter it almost feels like a chore. I’ve yet to actually skip the cut scenes, but I’m finding them dreadfully dull.

 

Picked up Throné to start cause she was hot. Only about 25 minutes in, not sure I want to burn through my 3 hours tonight and tomorrow and have to wait for the game.... I probably will though.

 

I think I'll probably play the first chapter of every character now on a separate file maybe and then skip them when I recruit them in the full game. Kind of a waste of time but I need MORE.

 

I've noticed there is a lot more voice acting, for even smaller scenes.

And the option to speed up battle is a godsend.

 

Robbing every person you see takes up a lot of time.

 

Excuse me what? Pls explain

 

never finished the first one but loved what i did play, didnt really feel the need to pick it back up after the new one was announced since it will presumably fix the few issues the first one has.

 

Every game should have have speed up options

 

Idk when I will get to opt2 I’m behind on my games

 

I gotta rob them then interrogate them then duel them lol

at least on Switch, press the start button during combat - it makes the speed 2x

 

damn you can only have one save slot for the demo. Guess I'll keep my Throne/Temenos/Oswald file going and just play around with other characters on new files and not save them.

Started Hikari's chapter last night and it was so damn cool. I love his blue mage type ability to learn enemy skills. Also yeah, chapters are seemingly way less linear this time around. I'm liking it.

 

I just finished Hikari’s first chapter. I found that more engaging than any other first chapter story I played in the first game. It feels like there is more voice acting this time around? I like the night and day switch and how you can do that on command. Faster battle speed is nice. Good stuff. Ultimately I still think I tire easily on the random battles when exploring.

 

I failed on three 80% steals in a row and was absolutely raging.

 

Played the demo a bit more, and I kind of wish the day/night system was dynamic vs user controlled. I would rather not have think about it. I do like that it makes grinding/leveling up a touch easier at user discretion though.

 

I want to play more but I'm holding out for the release. One more week!

 

That was me first reaction. Being able to press a button to change it feels a little weird.

 

apparently it does change on its own but it takes a long while

 

Ha, I’m a total of a couple hours into the demo for II and I only just found out you can have canoe battles on water.

 

Lol I love the canoe, no work for it or anything, you just have one and can fight in it

 

I cannot WAIT

 

Very excited for this even though I'm sure it'll be a while until I actually play it

 

lol this game comes out next Friday, which is the day before I pick up the moving truck for a cross country move. I'll play it Friday night but spend all Saturday packing and all Sunday/Monday on the road.

You better believe I'll lose sleep playing it in the hotel I'm staying at alone in Mississippi Sunday night lol

 

hell yeah tax return just hit so I got this shit preloaded

 

I’m gonna start a new file tonight with the Scholar and just go from there wooooo

 

Scholar is always a good choice, revealing weaknesses is clutch. Plus his story is fkin awesome so far
