Couple of typos in the first story update:Mega64 posted:
I think this is supposed to be "territories inland". Mega64 posted:
Should be "is as important". Mega64 posted:Fail five times, and you have to bribe the barkeep at the tavern to spread good rumors around you or else you can no longer do path actions in that town. Or you can just save scum. Not really a typo, but this feels like it would read better as "spread good rumors about you," or possibly "spread around good rumors about you."

Correct you are, Your Highness! It was a time of great strife here in the Flatlands, as the eight clans waged a long and bitter war. Change would come when the armies of Grandport invaded these lands some two centuries ago. At the time, the rulers of Grandport sought to exert their influence over territories island.

I feel like Cyrus's next companion should always be looking for a bargain.

I started my game a bit further south of where we are currently and traveling north up this path, so I ended up recruiting Tressa before Cyrus. It was extremely amusing to me to have her max Boost Collect against the boss of his Chapter 1, given that said boss was apparently already neck-deep in debt.

Good loving riddance. Everything about Helgenish is utterly vile, reprehensible and irredeemable. Gutting him and leaving his corpse to rot away in the sands is one of the most satisfying moments in this game, especially if you started as Prim. forever, Helgenish.

Yeah, also started with Primrose, and it really wasn't an issue. As Mega64 says, it's scaled down in numbers if she's your starting character. I can see it being a challenge if you didn't bother to allure anyone to help you, but as long as you remember to take someone along with you (pretty sure that old man is your best bet when you're first starting out), it's easily doable.

Olberic's got the best max boost line in the game, though I'm also a big fan of Primrose's and Cyrus's. In particular, there's just something about Primrose's tone of voice in her delivery that just gets me every time.

I voted for Alfyn because we need a healer, so it's either him or Ophelia and I figured we might as well just keep going clockwise.

Glazius posted:I won't begrudge you a Cait now and again, just to boost into later areas and such. I suppose it's pretty unbalanced unless the people yet to join are getting XP too. Nope, everyone who joins starts at level 1, and people who aren't in the active party don't earn any experience from battles.

Glazius posted:Do the monsters stick around to get whacked, or are they just attacks? I can actually see in the lategame H'aanit having them primarily to hit off-weapon or off-element weaknesses or... to buff? If they can buff? It wouldn't really matter how strong they were in that case. When they're summoned in battle, they basically come out, do their attack/spell/whatever, and then go back into whatever off-screen limbo they exist in when you're not using them.

I like how it's not enough for Alfyn to just go into the cave, knock out the snake and collect the venom... he feels compelled to sass it, too.

If I remember right, I believe you can also buy all the weapons with Tressa instead of just stealing them, but I don't think it actually changes how anything plays out. Though it is kind of amusing to think of Tressa offering to buy up the weapons and the poor folk being like, "Sold! ... Wait, poo poo, I needed that to enact social reform!"

One of my favorite things from this game's job system was making Tressa a Thief, giving her the Incidental Attack passive, and then using Collect on enemies. *shakes enemies down for money* "Thank you!" *STAB* "Always looking for a bargain," indeed.

Tressa politely thanking people and monsters after shaking them down for money, only to immediately follow up by shanking them will never stop being funny to me. Especially if she Boosted for it.

GunnerJ posted:Vanessa's plan doesn't really make a lot of sense because if she's just in it for the money, there's no reason to poison anyone poor. Hell, if anything, she could have spared a single vial for Flynn to use as a test case to prove that it would work, then turned around and jacked up the price on the remaining vials to compensate for her reduced supply.

Bleh, I meant as a demonstration, not a test. Basically, just cure the girl for free to prove to the rich folks that you're on the level, then fleece them for all they're worth and then some.

Given how much everyone is praising how much of a good foil Ali is to Tressa, I'm expecting him to either get killed, or at the very least injured or imprisoned, by the guy who owns the mining operation in this town for daring to turn a profit under his nose without giving him a cut. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid over nothing.

ultrafilter posted:We have to do CAT PHOTO at some point. Since we're going to have Cyrus stuck in our party no matter what for the duration of Chapter 3, we might as well save his for last, so that way we can blow through his Chapters 3 and 4 back to back, which will tie off his story nicely and allow us to rotate him out of the party for the duration of Chapter 4. So in that sense, it would make sense to go ATOP HOT C for Chapter 3 before viewing CAT PHOTO in Chapter 4.

LiefKatano posted:Five bucks says Erhardt is provoking the lizardmen into attacking town so he can play hero. I think Erhardt's probably on the level here, but that's not going to stop him from skipping out of here and leaving Olberic to deal with the leader of the lizardfolk as the boss for the chapter, thus saving Erhardt himself for Chapter 4. I mean, it'd be kinda weird to build up this whole thing between Olberic and Erhardt and then have it be settled in Chapter 3 and then spring a new character on us as the final boss of Olberic story arc.

It's an acronym of "OCTOPATH" that refers to where Therese wishes she was at the start of Cyrus's story.
