It's marketed by Nintendo and also published in the West by Nintendo, so it's not likely imo.

Are you running? I've noticed a pretty sizeable increase in encounter rate when running
NIntendo did publish it outside of Japan so I doubt it. Unless SE and Nintendo struck some sort of deal.
Feck went into a higher level cave and wanted to see what the enemies were like did two battles that were long but not overly hard. Got everyone up 3 levels and decided to go back out to go elsewhere. Right at the entrance another battle. So I'm like fine I'll polish this off then leave. They one shot my team...
I doubt they will but there would be nothing to stop SE publishing it themselves
Nah, as we've seen with Capcom, you can easily lose Nintendo's support in publishing if you wrong them. If Nintendo and SE agreed that Octopath is exclusive then it probably needs to remain that for SE to get that juicy support in the future.
ofc, just speculation.
It's high enough when walking as well, but tbf it was only that canyon area that gave me any grief. Afterwards it was easier but it was hard to see where to go and the constant interruptions didn't help.
Yeah, but then you meet enemies that are neither weak to sword or spear and you're like welp guess I'll just attack whatever and build up BP.
Just met H'aanit and she's definitely the most easy mode. She has access to sword, spear, axe, bow and lightning. She can heal and if the boss is weak to bows, she can break 5/6 defenses by herself with her rain arrow skill if she has decent enough accuracy.
Probably gonna ditch her since I don't the game to be TOO easy.
Man, battles are long enough as is, i need Haanit. Hell im making someone in my group also get the Hunter class.
Battles aren't long when you have a Cyrus that can easily be boosted to do 10k damage in a few turns. :p and I've not even optimized a party, just rotate to keep everyone evenly levelled behind him.
There is an Apothecary Skill (Alfyn) to get SP for every attack and then Scholar (Cyrus's Job) has the skill "Vim and Vigor" that regens HP at the end of the turn - it's the 3,000 JP skill, I think.
I use both on Cyrus.
Cyrus is very useful because he can discover enemies weakness at the start of the combat or using Analyze and is a must for me (and he's magic is amazingly powerful). With those two skills he's much more powerful.
The second jobs can be found on Shrines near some towns.
Also, a FYI for something I missed for over 10h: support skills can also be boosted with BP, increasing the turn duration. I facepalmed when noticing that.
Thanks again!
Yea so far I haven't have the need to grind, I've been exploring almost every corner and usually hit the level required just nice.
Anyway I just bought this House Landar Records for 6k from an old man, can't find any info about it, what does it do.
In my experience you just continue to gather all kinds of random shit by playing and then sometime you find a NPC and a cutscene will trigger and a sidequest you didn't even know exist got completed.
controller pro question
You know about the parameter in the console's settings about using the Pro Controller with a USB cable (for data communication)? Does this feature work when the controller is plugged in the dock, or only if it's plugged directly in the Switch tablet somehow?
Thanks

That's a good advise, gonna just keep doing that (that's how I completed the king recipe thing).
Well what a ride, 7 hours in and as suspected I just love the game. Sidequests are really good and the absence of handholding is really refreshing.
Started with Cyrus then went to recruit Primrose since I liked the character. Some sidequests needed Olberic's ability so I recruited him next. He has a really tough boss btw.
Now starting with Therion. Party around level 14, cant wait to resume my journey.

Yeah, the problem with Olberic is that he only has swords and spears to break defenses, though Tressa's Pass BP ability matches up well with Olberic's AOE skills to speed up battles.
The problem with Cyrus is, while he has high burst, his spells only break defenses one time, unless you use the lvl. 2 spells but those are 22SP. So you need someone else to break defenses for him.
What are some useful things Therion can steal? Already got the Golden Axe, Knight Sword and Imperial Spear.
Played this for a bit. Started with Cyrus. The music is lovely!
But OH MY GOD tone down the depth of field effect. It's way too strong. They're blurring shit just a few feet in the foreground. Reminds me of 3D Dot Game Heroes, and not in a good way.

Capturing dungeon bosses at about 1% capture rates...
TFW you only get to summon it once.
TFW you'll never ever summon it.

Cyrus main. Got H'aanit and Therion.
I'm in front of Primrose which will be my last party member for now.
Battles give a very good amount of points. I'm constantly levelling up and all despite having Cyrus passive 95% of the time on.
Loving the game so far. After getting primrose I'll do more side quests/exploration and begin second chapters of the 4 characters.
I didn't expect the game to be that special. I like it a lot more than Bravely.

Oh shit, you can boost and capture?Capturing dungeon bosses at about 1% capture rates...
I really do wish the captures were permanent though.
Anyone know why Caits keep dodging all my attacks? I'm even using weapon types that are effective.
Caits have high evasion, so most attacks will miss. You can use items and magic (as they don't miss), alongwith multi-hit physical skills to kill them.
So, uh, there's a whole lot of skits, right? If you're always given one at every opportunity, then that means each character needs to have one for each of the (3?) slots per Chapter 2? So 7*3*8=168 skits for Chapter 1 are possible? Or if you don't have the right party members, you just don't get a skit at each of the flag marks?
And then it gets more complicated in Chapters 3 and 4 as you get 3 person and 4 person skits?
I don't mind the segregated and limited characterization. Skits for side conversations are more fitting than bloating up every story scene with extraneous dialogue.

You can steal it from an NPC in the southernmost area of Victor's Hollow.
Me too. I can't tell if it's just that since I'm running it feels like I'm getting to random encounters faster or what lol
Yeah it's also the low angle in some sections combined with bloom and blur that contribute to getting lost in some areas. For me anyway.
This is interesting. I did the same quest, but I did it by stealing some better bait for the fisherman.
The minimap goes red when you run. I'm assuming that means danger or something so you'll potentially experience more encounters. Or maybe a higher chance for ambush encounters.
One side quest I enjoyed was one where the answer was to obviously fight the guy... but? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LOSE
Im enjoying the little stories and the world as a whole. I came into this not expecting a generic over arching jrpg plot and Im vastly enjoying my time
I'm not sure if I hit a bug or I just missed the cue of what to do next, but I'm stuck in Alfyn's chapter 1. I just fought the boss and gave the venom to Zeph, but nothing is happening now. I've tried to pass time at the Inn, going back into the field, and talking to people in town, but no luck so far, Zeph just gives me the same dialogue each time.
I know the skits are supposed to be at the taverns, but how do I access them? Do I need to reach a certain point in a character's story?
They dont do exclusive anymore so its save to assume its coming down the line.
