Under the vast night sky, two hearts are growing closer 

 Agnea and Hikari

Yay I’ve been playing Octopath Traveler II wooeee I am so close to beat the game!! I took me a long while perfecting Hikari’s face (he reminds me of Felix) and I just remember Yomi commented on his beautiful kimono, so I was like okay gotta draw it pretty. Yeah and I like how the side he’s close to Agnea is lit and the rest of his body is in darkness.

Dec. 24th 2023 - I can’t believe it, but I beat Octopath Traveller 2. This was hands down my favourite JRPG of the year and I’m so immensely overwhelmed I beat it. I’m sad it’s over, but the journey was worth it. This might be my personal GOTY! Best Christmas Eve in years.

4, 7, 13, 17 for the Octopath asks

4.Favorite overall path? Castti was my main and I think she's my favorite of the playable characters overall by a fair amount.

She's such a kind soul but also capable of understated and/or explicit sass, as shown at various times during her interactions with Edmund, Partitio, and Andy. I've seen so many series where the helpless doctors serve as a side character, failing to convince people to take the plague seriously until the mc steps in. So it was refreshing to see Team Asano take that dynamic and go, "Hmm, but what if the doctor had a massive axe and agency?"

There's also a lot of casual coolness to some of her lines, like the bit where she says, "I'm going to have a word with that antlion." With all the collected poise of someone about to talk to a landlord about getting their sink fixed. I'm convinced she has a very supremely high Karen power level but will only use it for good.

I think I encountered a post pre-release warning people off headcanoning her as the momfriend of the group ala Ophelia, but c'mon, the writers had two separate characters literally call her mom. More people than call Osvald "Papa", I think.

Also having Castti in the group meant concocting and the sweet, sweet pomegranate was always close at hand.

(There's not a character in the main playable cast I really dislike.

7. Favorite default job? Gotta be merchant. Bifelgan's MONEY LASER is a cool effect, and Hired Help is hilarious, somehow fitting Partitio even more than it did Tressa, since he's all about getting a posse together whereas Tressa goes on mostly a solo trek. And of course it allows for extreme meta comedy when used in a spot such as Hikari's duel with his inner darkness.

Digressing, but I did a solo Tressa run of OT1 including all 4 optional job bosses and it was part of my strats for all four. Winnehild actually was surprisingly vulnerable to the poison/blind 2-fer the Dancer summon has. I felt it was less useful in the OT2 early game, but somehow became an even more busted skill with the ability to do automatic shield damage (Beastlings) or 9999 plus a stat debuff (Foreign Assassin).

(Castti and Ochette were probably the most dynamically fun characters to use, but that was less because of their default job skills but more because concoction and monster friends had so much strategic potential.

13.Favorite soundtrack?

Hollow Empty Memories was a great track that was exactly the right kind of light yet haunting mix of bell sounds for the shell-shocked mood Castti chapter 3 put me in. I think I just sat there staring at my screen for a solid five minutes after drinking that ending monologue in and the music just washed over me in a really emotional way.

Shoutouts to my two runner-ups: A. Ochette, the Hunter -Ochette's theme kicks whatever one needs to kick to be really freaking cool. B. Invitation to Darkness -Great building pipe organ backbeat to set up for that ominous final Vidania confrontation.

17. Best relationship/dynamic between 2 characters (& elaborate!)?

Partitio/Ori

I liked Ori for a series of immediate and very specific personal reasons on meeting the character. You had that bold, plucky tone of voice she used when introducing herself in chapter 2, the way she tends to show up and freak Partitio out, and the way she gradually went from a neutral observer to someone who decided to spend some time helping him out, to eventually sticking her neck out for him by distracting the guards on Roque Island. And the way the last 3 chapters of Partitio's story are told through her eyes via the newspaper articles gives you even more time with her penchant for cheeky wordplay with a touch of steam-era slang. I warmed up to her character so much in such a short time.

And then it got better.

Journey for the Dawn was a massive "Yes, and…" to all of that characterization, showing you how the plucky reporter persona was an act she put on in the narrative equivalent of getting smacked in the ribs with a tire iron. Then they double up on it again by showing she switches back into puppy dog writing style when talking about her time with Partitio, even within her private diary. And then you actually see her pull back on the ritual and I'm going to cry all over again.

If there's some extra story scenes that get released a year and a half later ala what happened with Triangle Strategy, just know that I need these two specifically to interact.

(I also loved Castti/Malaya but the question was best and I will absolutely pick favorites.)

Initial Thoughts on Octopath Traveller 2 so far:

this post is mostly based off the characters' chapter ones which can be experienced for free in the demo, so ig spoiler warnings for that but none of this is hard to get info:

-

Narrative: I definitely had some stories I preferred over others, but I loved the variety in stakes and driving forces to travel.

Agnea seeks stardom and fame and connection through performance to audiences broad and wide.

Osvald wants to avenge the death of his wife and child.

Hikari's home kingdom was burnt to the ground, his father murdered, and him branded a fucking traitor to his own land.

So, yeah. The stakes vary.

But I like it because it adds variety to the characters and their stories and its interesting that some are fighting for their lives and homes, and refreshing that others just want to see the world or become stars. In my opinion, every 1st chapter ends on an intriguing note that encourages the continuation of the stories (though this effect can vary again, based on the severity of peoples' situations. Hikari needing to save his home and reclaim the throne is much more motivating to me than Agnea's mere drive for stardom and following in her mothers' footsteps).

(Also, being a fan of Bravely + Sentinels: Aegis Rim... Huge soft spot for the "memory loss" narrative concept for Castti.)

Gameplay: Honestly really fun! I prefer the chapter ones this time around where they isolate the party so it's much easier to level individual party members. You won't be stuck with like, Hikari or Throné being like 20 levels higher than everyone else like the original Octopath would do. That was my biggest complaint.

I found the demo to be easy generally and could finish most bosses within 10-15 minutes of some light grinding. Can't vouch for whether or not there's a difficulty spike later on, but definitely having a smoother time than the original Octopath.

Music: Baller. Amazing. Lovely. Expected nothing less of a SE game, from Team Asano no less. I want it on Spotify now if it isn't there already.

Characters' Designs and Impressions: Honestly, most of the designs did not interest me on first impression, barring Partitio, Hikari, Ochette a bit, and Osvald. I genuinely found most of them to just not be eye-catching or intriguing. This changed a lot when I actually got around to meeting them all and now I'm pretty attached to them LOL.
