I'm thinking about trading in Sekiro once I finish it for Octopath, since I heard Sekiro doesn't have much replayability.

I was talking more in tone of voice. In Japanese he's pretty quiet and subdued even in battle.

He needs to be snarky since none of the other characters are.

How would you like a sequel? Personally, I want them all to travel to another continent.

Interesting. I think I'd prefer the English version then even if I did hear the Jap voices, mostly because Therion always did insane damage thanks to his divine skill. Also sorcerer Therion is great.

New cast, new world.

I got it last week and I've really enjoyed it. Would recommend.

Are Warmaster and Starseer just inferior damage and supports compared to Sorceror and Runelord or am I doing something wrong with my party?

>Sorceror Cyrus
>Runelord Tressa
>Starseer Primrose
>Warmaster H'aanit

It'll presumably be a new cast and new world/setting. Although I'm afraid what they'll do it with it.

How the heck are you getting more damage out of Runelord than Warmaster. Just charge their final skill and let er rip.

I only found out that nuts permanently increased your stats after 80 hours

This would fix problems of engagement and helping everything not feel pointless but I feel like the combat system needs overhauling too. They basically just took what worked in BD and slapped it on Octopath without crafting a system around it so strategy goes out the window and combat never becomes anything more than stockpiling turns until you get a shield break and then using up everything at once for damage. The classes are all really good and interesting but there's just this fundamental game mechanic that isn't utilized to it's full potential.

she's a damage dealer with a decent amount of utility. I think some of her captures functioned as decent healing spells if i remember correctly. I need to go back and finish that game though, H'aanit was quickly becoming one of my favorites while was playing through the game.

I always thought that she was supposed to be a teenager but Square Enix said she was 18 to not deal with any Treehouse bullshit.

Seitz hadn't even gotten into VA work when that game came out. He did a decent job with dub Ragna so i don't hate him like i do most dub VAs, but lets not lie about his work to make him sound better.

Attached: DkfanaUUcAIlHpF.jpg (1280x720, 232K)

that's wrong though. Primrose, Therion, and H'aanit are all better in JP, while Olberic is better in EN. the rest i haven't spent enough time with both languages to form an opinion on.

Make them like this, but mix up the teams cause this made phase 1 unbearably long (and phase 2 really easy).

Attached: boss team.jpg (1280x720, 107K)

Tressa is easily better in JP.
America can't into teen voices

JP Olberic is pretty good too though. He's just more serious and isn't hamming it up like Seitz.

Ophelia legitimately sounds autistic in English that's reason alone to stay away it ruins the scenes she's in

Good to see other jap voice enthusiasts. Yea Forums is full of dub lovers but original voice is where it's at.

Attached: DkfaiuzU0AAghzF.jpg (1280x720, 173K)

Tressa's character is fun, but her story has a fucking awful ending.
Olberic has a fantastic chapter 2 and 3, but then it has a real lame chapter 4 because thing need to be 4 chapters long.
Primrose has the most consistent story overall.
Therion's story is collecting Dragonballs with the lamest villains ever.
Alfyn is best boy.

I'd say most of the stories suck because they don't account for other party members. Therion's and Primrose's are affected the most by this. I hope that in the sequel, they divert some of that time they spent writing two-page biographies for every NPC in the game to making it so the characters interact outside a handful of three sentence exchanges at the tavern. You don't even get group conversations until you beat someone's fourth chapter.

Attached: DifW_gxV4AAfcQt.jpg (1280x720, 90K)

It also causes major disconnect when you have someone like Tressa gleefully working with Therion or everyone just glossing over Primrose being a murderer out for revenge.

Attached: DifXD1WU0AE1TSU.jpg (1280x720, 97K)

Checking out random NPCs in this game was actually useful since you could recruit the worthwhile ones into battle.

Therion has the best chapter 4 boss though.

Did anyone else never buy a single item the whole game? It was way too easy to just steal everything.

Make her a thief and she's pretty much untouchable in duels.
I had her as warrior and dancer most of the time though

I'd only do that for Therion since it's strange hearing Kirbopher in a legitimate game title

BUT OF COURSE

>warrior ophelia
Why?

The only things worth buying from actual shops are Concoct ingredients. The rest of my money went to NPCs, who usually have cheaper and better equipment, and also just to save time instead of savescumming the low% steals.

Tressa has the cutest
>lowers defense as thief
>"Be niiiice!"

I'm glad I found this thread.
I think I'll start a second playthrough this weekend.

I'll give the sequel a shot if they make some big changes but I sold the game after completing four character stories. I don't like the way it wants you to do all chapter 1s then all chapter 2s and so on because it all feels so unrelated. Even if you do only four chapter 1s and then go back to a chapter 2 there's this weird disconnect in the timing that throws off the urgency and makes me not give a shit about already boring stories. And it's almost inevitable the leveling curve with be thrown off for some of your characters at some point because of the disconnected nature of all the stories

Olberic's bombastic lines have their own appeal too.

I am so glad that Fortitude is a thing

Attached: 1542374110317.jpg (1100x825, 110K)

I might start a new one too. I was thinking of going through with each character solo this time through.

Runelord feels more useful than Warmaster, and its relatively weak 35 SP skills on H'aanit means I can use three before I'm out of mana. By weak I mean they don't really hit multiple times or do significant damage. Not to mention no utility. Considering moving it to Olberic since Warrior feels like it'd work better with him.

As for starseer it just feels like a weaker support, I'm not really sure what makes me feel that way, maybe it's just too unfocused?

I haven't unlocked the final dungeon yet but I have sort of picked up on the fact I need all my characters for it, so it'll probably be a while before I do it. Alfyn's level 10, and I need to rethink my party setup to accomodate everyone. Thinking of splitting em into an elemental focused team and physical team with starseer to supply BP for Warmaster.

Also Cyrus marries Therese right?

Why are jew girls so cute

The power dynamic of being with a girl who has more money than you is hot.

I ran with Sorceror Tressa because she's the only one who can equip both Wind Damage Up weapons and has a worthwhile EAtk stat
Cyrus was the Runelord, Alfyn was the Starseer and Therion the Warmaster

I chose Tressa because Transfer Rune sounded like it would combo well with Sidestep and Rest. Alfyn Starseer sounds like a good idea, actually.

Tressa has cute feet

Runelord passes on the damage, whack an elemental rune on sorceror Cyrus/Ophilia and watch them do 18k damage a pop.

Surpassing power, then back to sorc unless you're going for meme potential.

>Steal with Tressa

I'm not looking for 100% authenticity in a SE fantasy, but don't just slap an '-eth' at the end of every other word and call it dialect.

Also the idea of Olberic and Ophilia joining Therion to help him break into a mansion not for noble intentions, but just to satisfy his own ego as it's supposed to be impregnable, is really dumb.

>Savescum to steal the Golden Axe

Equipment is fun

I think there's a disconnect, they're there for the battles, but the way you restart stories at taverns, means it's more likely they're just 8 buddies travelling the world together, and telling each other of their exploits at taverns,which is also why the banter scenes go back to the tavern rooms

Miguel is one you can do easily I thought, pretty much the first chapter 3 I did, just needed to abuse leghold trap shackle foe, and double sidestep

Why waste two hours savescumming an 3% item when you can just buy it?
With Tressa in your team you get much more money than you can spend.

Do you actually use the steal money move or whatever it is in battle?

Olberic also has near batman levels of joy when curbstomping thiefts and burglars in general
I think Primrose it the reason why stories arent connected becouse most the other 7 character would look at hthe cargange whereber she goes and say nope and run away

>Cyrus marries Therese
He remains oblivious.

You don't even need to, Tressa has a passive ability that gives you more money for each battle. Plus she finds money every time you enter a map.

therion can run sorc with 3 fire weapons making him the most effective, many others can get 2xelement but only therion gets 3x
the other dude has the right idea with tressa, passing out free sidesteps with runemaster is busted

Sure, Transfer Rune + Sidestep is great (against physical attacks) but I really like watching my girl hit for 67k per hit on Ventus Saltaire
And she does it twice because Cleric's Ultimate Skill

This is why Therion works best as the protagonist over the others, you could justify him being a softie underneath his edgesterior and helping the others but you can't really justify 90% of the party joining him because they want someone around who can open purple chests

Darius did not deserve to die the way he did.

Attached: 1499842030250.jpg (852x960, 74K)

If I can pick between two high damage dealers and one very high damage dealer and one character that doesn't compare for a two-phase fight with two different teams,I'm gonna go with the former

>Therion actually stole 4 masks to sneak in
>When Darius' goons laugh and taunt Therion because he's outnumbered, but the party of four actually outnumbers the three goons

>Alfyn and Ophilia just watched Primrose bleed out in the floor for a while until the other guy walked in and saved her

It's funny when you think about it.

That doesn't make sense because tressa can still shit out damage as runemaster while therion shits out damage as sorc

Her damage as Runemaster does not compare to her damage as sorc
And Cyrus is a very good Runemaster on his own
You can say all you want, but this composition is what got me through Galdera's two phases at a much lower level than usual

ok buddy

I would say they didn't want to show Therion kill him, but they did want to have him die as comeuppance, tht said they let that happen to Miguel no problem.

Wrong. This is the comfiest.

I think Galdera is mainly about how you deal with the attacks, saving grace, hang tough, patience etc. + inferno amulets for phase 2, thunderstorm amulets for phase 1

Warmaster shits out 60k damage with very little additional prep work. Very useful to have against Galdera's final phase.

Then don't. The game gives you a lot of flexibility in tackling it however you want.

Just put good gear on em and take em through their chapter scenario without running from mobs, should get to the desired level on their own.
If anything the difficult is constantly skewed in your favor since your 'MC' is constantly overleveled

You know, it makes sense that other protagonists can beat whatever bosses that they end up fighting, but tressa doesnt.
She had to be saved from the pirates by leon, and yet somehow she can beat omar, who is supposed to be an extremely expensive and powerful bodyguard.

If you didn't smack bosses around with max boost mercenaries, you're playing Tressa wrong.

DId they really do that much damage, I never used hired help

What were they thinking with that voice. Total different in tone with the dub.

Not a fan of Greg Chun in general, he does nu-Ike and Eph and I'm not big on either

If the boss is broken and debuffed, it's competitive with some of the more damaging non-secret class skills, assuming your cash holds out.

He's great as Lucas in SoV but in every other role he's only tolerable. Though I would argue as Alfyn he's a bit better than Ike and Eph, mostly because he actually goes above a whisper at times

I think he's got the right voice at least, it's just direction that needs work. Ike's new yells in Smash sound absolutely great, but then he taunts or says a victory line and it sounds all wrong and too quiet.

How useful is the surpassing power passive?
It says that it increases the maximum damage that can be dealt to 99,999, but I don't know if I'll ever hit that to begin with.

No, but the old damage limit is 9999 which you can hit with 4* specials and pursuits, so you want them on your qualified damage dealers, that easily hit 9999

tfw you reach the 999,999 damage limit.
