While I haven’t gotten too far into the game, Beastmaster was one of my favorite jobs back in my FFXI days and its something of a rare sight in RPGs now. Pixie and H’aanit both like dunking on Z’anta: I’m really loving this game so far, I never finished Bravely Default and I don’t own Bravely Second but this game is really scratching an itch I didn’t realize I had. Once I have her leveled up enough, I’m going to stick Tressa with Scholar so she too can be an unstoppable, magical, killing machine who upsells additional items and services at your own funeral.įor story/character reasons, I want to make Cyrus a dancer but the merchant skill halves MP consumption after a while so I’m feeling kind of torn. Since it was the first shrine I found, I made it so that her first secondary job was that of the Warrior but I have since used a guide to find the locations of the other job shrines. I was really hooked by her first chapter though and the second was pretty darn interesting too. All I really had to go off of was character art because I wanted to go in as blind as possible but another factor for me was how I don’t usually take on the role of a beastmaster or hunter. When I started playing Octopath Traveler, I chose H’aanit. Shoggoth made a man of knowledge explore the exciting world of dancing:
I don’t know if I would call it my favorite JRPG of all time, let alone my favorite on the Switch, but Octopath is a solid game for the Switch, and if you’re one of those Switch owners who thought that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 focused a bit too much on the Japanese part in JRPG and not enough on the RPG part (and I know a fair number of you did), I think this is the game for you. The main characters themselves for the most part are kind of bland (though unlike most JRPGS, there isn’t one character that I outright hate) and I could tell what was happening in each one a mile away, but the side characters that you meet are interesting and I like that each chapter is a relatively brisk stroll to complete.
The stories on the other hand are actually really good. And even then they were nothing that Olberic using his ultimate attack couldn’t handle. I started with Olberic (he’s who I went with in the prologue demo, so I transferred that save over to the main game), and I kind of regret doing that since he’s made combat a joke (he’s almost in the low 50s), with maybe one or two boss fights giving me a hard time. Soon I’ll go and get the other characters to do their stories too. Just hit level 50 with Alfyn, Ophilia, Therion and Tressa. I liked the simple “help people” goal, and made more sense as to why he would want to help each of the other characters through their stories. This is a story of four very different women helping each other out to achieve each’ equally valid goals.īit by 8 Bit needs strong and simple motivation:
OCTOPATH TRAVELER OR XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 SERIES
In the Bravely series that meant that I switched that stereotype around 180, but in Octopath it means that I’m leaving the lads on the sidelines to let the ladies have their moment. One thing that I really like in Job-based JRPGs is that you can go against the familiar old mold of Men = Strength / Women = Magic. That said, I also have another self-made narrative, namely that I made up my party out of all the four girls. “Put that pretty mouth where it belongs, and I may go easy on you.” It made me want to help Prim get out and take back her life, so that’s exactly what we’re doing. Her story is compelling and the writing is a lot more mature than I would’ve expected. Primrose was the one that stuck out to me from the very first moment. I had to wait a couple of days before I could get home to pick up my copy, so in that time I went through everyone’s prologues in the demo. ShadeofLight is inverting those gender images:
