Might as well post the last four travelers while I'm at it.

What octopath 0 characters will you invite to your party when the game comes out? Saoirse looks cool, alaune and eltrix too. Demo doesn’t give you a full feel of the characters and it doesn’t help that their moveset is limited compared to the mainline games but we’ll see

>>1887217
All of them.

Also the moveset in the demo is probably their complete moveset, aside from their Ultimate and MAYBE a secret extra move.

In the previous games you could swap around secondary job classes, here you have multiple characters that you’ll need to swap out instead. You can customize them a bit with Mastery Moves but chances are, what you see is what you get.

>>1887363
Yeah I know how this game will work mechanically and how that’s going to play out. Since the game is based on cotc it’s systems will be a for different from the mainline games so I can imagine that octopath 3 will return to 4 character parties with subjobs + divines

That being said, here’s a quick breakdown of JP allocation:

>1st & 2nd Skill - Default
>3rd Skill - 30 JP
>4th Skill - 100 JP
>5th Skill - 300 JP
>6th Skill - 800 JP
>7th Skill - 1500 JP

1st & 2nd Mastery Slot - Default
3rd Mastery Slot - 200 JP
4th Mastery Slot - 500 JP
5th Mastery Slot - 1000 JP
6th Mastery Slot - 2000 JP

Grand Total - 6430 JP

>>1887481
Your character is a different story, since he can essentially do all eight jobs.
>Warrior Skills - 2730 JP
>Merchant Skills - 2730 JP
>Thief Skills - 2730 JP
>Apothecary Skills - 2730 JP
>Hunter Skills - 2730 JP
>Cleric Skills - 2730 JP
>Scholar Skills - 2730 JP
>Dancer Skills - 2730 JP

Also while most characters start out with a Battle Mastery Skill Slot and a Passive Mastery Skill Slot, you start with two Battle Mastery Skill Slots and two Passive Mastery Skill Slots so…

>5th Mastery Skill Slot - 1000 JP
>6th Mastery Skill Slot - 2000 JP

Grand Total - 24,840 JP

Well damn that’s a lot of jp. Good thing I got an octopath 2 save file on hand to get that extra jp statue

How do I play this?

Dunno if the dataminers have already voied that, but checked some things in 0 files and...
Side Orsterra's final boss references the 4 optional gods + Galdy in their voicelines.

>>1888273
Did we get a reveal on who the extra party members are?

>>1888273
Also you say Final Boss like it’s not Or’sazantos or the Bestower of All…

Is it? A Yes or No will suffice.

>>1888273
>voicelines
you mean these? https://ghostbin.axel.org/paste/8pgwd
where do you see that?

>>1889175
When the Rings enter boost mode, the Bestower voice their respective titles. Search "O Scholarking" and follow the line. Then you will recognize some of their quotes.

Yeaaaaaahbaby! I got the silly cat and only costed me 330 free rubies

>>1889742
So I'm confused. Is Elrica and Sazantos gonna be permanent party members now or what's up? because el gets axed and even becomes a thing in hell for her little sister and Sazantos..I mean should I say more? the listing has me confused for that reason. even more when we have screen portraits for them when NPC units that join shouldn't even be on the menu character screen. or maybe some postgame shit?

>>1889886
Pretty sure they're just included in the list since they're "in the party and playable" at any point in the game regardless of permanence.

>>1889845
Aaaand holy shit, I just got confirmed that each of the story characters has their own job icon.

Warrior
Apothecary
Merchant
Thief
Hunter
Cleric
Scholar
Dancer
Apprentice Watchman
Apprentice Architect
Mafia Boss
Queen
King
Strategist
Shipmaster
Flameguard
Empress
Architect
Cait Scholar
Fallen Warrior?

>>1889886
I honestly don’t have an answer for how that works.

Though it looks like most of the story characters won’t be able to join until Bestower of All which is already late in the game.

>>1889912
Makes sense since all of them don't show up together in any arcs other than BoA.

>>1889911
>fallen warrior
Pretty sure is not that but probably is the brown sexy tiddie monster lady's job emblem?

>>1889936
You mean Tatloch? Nope. Hers is the one with the eye. The emblem of G'roha.

>>1889911
>Fallen Warrior?
Those are probably Aelfric's blue flames around the sword when/if he's playable. Like how Phenn and Laurana could have their class icons and then you could end up losing them forever after the timeskip by ignoring the Wishvale repairs.

strongest enemies in the OC0 demo files by HP:
1. D_Enemy_Snow_SnD23_P001_1_01, probably the Shrine Guardian (3.75 million HP)
2. AGM_Boss_Chp8_08_01, some new end-game or post-game boss beyond Bestower of All? Seems to have some relation to a dragon or the dragonstones, see >>>/vrpg/3878232 (1.2 million HP)
3. 9pcs_Arena_Boss_RE_Second_05, no clue who that could be (601203 HP)
4. 9pcs_Arena_Boss_RE_Second_04, no idea either (580600 HP)
5. AGM_Boss_Chp8_03_01, probably Bestower of All (500k HP)
6. FC_Enemy_046_01, has one physical and one magic weakness which is why I think it might be an NPC (454744 HP)
7. JoinPC10201_Boss_01, no clue. Comes after some BoA Ch7 boss in the file (440k HP)
8. FC_Enemy_025_01, pic rel. Can be fought in the demo, classified as a boss (413876 HP)
9. Boss_EvQuSQ120_01_03. Its in-battle texture folder is titled "Emd_NPC_B04_000_L_CS", for reference, Bestower of All's is "Emd_NPC_B08_016_c". Lyblac is one of the few bosses whose texture folder also ends with "LL_CS" (405k HP)

>>1889951
First off, Phenn is a Hunter and Laurana is a Cleric. That's their class icons. And I'm sure you can't completely ignore repairing Wishvale as far as I know.

Also, Elrica is confirmed playable. Aelfric...is definitely NOT.

>>1889845
>>1889846
>>1889847

What about character portraits? Can those be unveiled?

>>1889956
Thank you on this, shit was confusing to navigate as it is.

>>1889974
>El
>playable
Limited time only I'm guessing. Unless the new postgame has some magic bullshit that brings her back for some reason and sazantos dabs you up to kill big fucker for the 3rd time

>>1889982
Having Elrica and Sazantos as playable companions makes does make things confusing. Since the game doesn't usually do temporary comp- Okay Octopath 2 did that.

Maybe they are temporary. I dunno. Can't believe we have to wait two weeks to find all this shit out.

>>1889974
>Aelfric...is definitely NOT.
I'm referring to Aelfric's flames around the sword for Sazantos's class icon to contrast with Rondo's church symbol.

>>1889981
not sure if anyone here has this but apparently, the enemy labels are largely the same as in CotC, so that could help with reading the file

>>1889987
I thought that was Elrica's symbol.

Sazantos and Rondo are both Flameguards (Rondo's an an apprentice) so I figure they'd both have the same symbol.

>>1889995
But rondos steps up from being an apprentice too during BoA and goes through the trial and all. So there's also that.

>>1890034
Oh this is new. Looks like one of those towers from CotC where you do a challenge run till you reach floor 100. Pretty much 100 battles

>>1890036
There's apparently a region category titled "Tower" in OT0 (see https://files.catbox.moe/k9bqrc.json), but I can't find anything explicitly referencing that category. In MapPathListTable (https://files.catbox.moe/9nsb1i.json) there's weird references to areas titled Map_EV_Gacha_N0_0001_A1 and Lv_Gh_All but that linked directory seems to have been scrubbed for the demo. All that's left is two cloud and rainbow textures, not sure if related

>>1890036
>>1890062
Seems to be the Tower of Remembrance:
See the voiceline "Reach the Tower of Remembrance! Ulti-meow!" in https://files.catbox.moe/7nrjss.json

>>1890068
Man, this game is gonna have it all it seems

>>1890062
The Gacha stuff seems to be related to tarot card stuff, not sure see those (left-over?) paths in the TextureID file (they're all in /Level/Area/Gacha/ but have been scrubbed from the demo):
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Wealth
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Power
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Fame
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Opulence
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Dominance
UiTX_Gacha_Tarot_Prestige
In MapListTable, the battle map (and therefore the area itself maybe) for Map_EV_Gacha_N0_0001_A1 seems to be in the clifflands. What's odd is that the region category is set to Gacha when there's no such category.
I want to say it's leftover stuff from CotC but there's files describing the shading of those rainbows from the area in the ocean water. Not sure if there's anything like that in CotC.

>>1889956
Surprised nobody mentions there's seems to be new bosses for BoA Chapter 7 too. Elfric label is AGM_Boss_Chp7_01_01 to 03 (as he resurrects 2 times, counting as separate enemies), but there is a 7_02_01 to 02_09 with ?? levels (01 to 08 seems to be the same enemy since it shares them same status and the 09 seems to be a minion) and 07_03_01 to 7_03_04.

Also I can't recognize the 03_99 labels in the Wealth and Fame enemies. A new enemy after their respective masters, perhaps?

>>1890986
I'm surprised there's this much shit on a butchered demo. Keep on cooking, I've been glued to the skill list and finding out some good shit

>>1891109
I'm also pleasantly surprised just how much is left over from the full game. Given that the CotC team is behind this and the fact that the files were encrypted and then encoded in binary assets, I thought they'd have been extremely rigorous when it comes to scrubbing the game files but I guess not. Almost every folder in the game files has an unusually large file with tons of leftovers.

I wish I knew of a way to determine who gets what skills.

Especially the story characters.

Also, modding seems to be possible already too. There's people who have localized the demo to Spanish and Russian. Haven't tried it myself yet but it looks like you just have to use MsgPack to turn the contents back into binary assets and then somehow modify the uexp files with the new json files, maybe Fmodel has an option for that.
If that works, I'll try replacing some town NPC with those new enemies, not sure if it'll work though as the textures, animations, etc. all are gone

>>1891184
There's some things that are very obvious to who the skill sets belongs too. Like the lightning song moves that are back to back on the list, those are from Goodwin, count the seven skills and makes sense. There's another that has an omni boost, 2 light multi hit attacks and a front/back heal that also give regen. That's the moveset from the queen, someone said it could be sazantos but that unit has sword skills too, which the 7 skills doesn't have any. Just spells and support spells

I'm pretty sure the codenames are listed like this, since Elrica doesn't fight all that much in comparison to the canon rank and lore that Sazantos is capable of.

>>1892886
*or will they cover bestower's chapters?

>>1892886
Yep. The whole Side Orsterra arc. Postscript stuff may be skipped, since it was released after CotC v2.14.

>>1892886
OCTOPATH title gimmick wouldn't work without the entirety of both arcs.

>>1889416
I got a friend who’s trying to use your tutorial.

He was able to do all but the last step.
How are you able to use the python scripts to extract the contents of the file?

>>1892886
>>1892889
It covers the entire Orsterra Saga.

All four parts. So yes, the Bestowers are included. [spoilers]Considering Tatloch is a party member and all…[/spoiler]

>>1892968
Export the json files using FModel and use the script on those folders whose files are encoded in binary assets.

>>1892968
>>1893157
oh and just to be clear, with exporting the json files, I mean saving the packages' properties. Just right-click on the Content folder and export it all. You can find the files under Output/Exports in the fmodel folder. The binary assets seem to all be located under Local/DataBase so it suffices to use the script on that folder with the recursive option

also some info for dataminers: while there's no other track in the files not found in the demo, the sound effects seem to be relatively untouched (not sure about voice over stuff. Seems to just be NPCs in the demo but there may be some extra lines). You can listen to them right in FModel and it'll extract them automatically, or use HDADecoder with the decryption key

>EX Hikari and Rei Mei
>New Game Board - Isla’s Dream Land
>Free Primrose and Cyrus
>10 Traveler’s Seals and 1000 Rubies
>That Kindling Wish again
>And of course, the Selector Fragment

>>1896396
What's the wish thingy? I'm essentially new to this games holiday fest whatever this all is. Since I started recently

>>1896396
Is there a catch on the 5* selector? I assume its just a list of characters from the sacred seal pool or do i actually get to pick whoever i want?

>>1896410
You buy a Wish Spark for $1 and you use it for a chance to get something cool. Like a character to spark or Awakening Stone fragments. It’s kinda like a lotto. If you win, you get the prize. If you lose, you get 16 paid rubies so your money isn’t completely wasted.

>>1896418
The Selector Fragment is awesome! You basically use it to select a chart of your choice. The downside is that unless they change things, you’ll only be able to select from the Chance Encounters. No limited characters.

>>1896418
The Reunion Festival is basically the anniversary. The global server went kaput in January. We are now on SEA’s server only NetEase wants us to forget that. Thing is, our anniversary is in late July, SEA’s is in early December. So to avoid confusion and save face they simply give us SEA’s anniversary and rename it to the Reunion Festival.

Because giving us a SEA anniversary AND a Global Anniversary would be too generous. Especially since December is SEA’s 2nd anniversary and January is Global’s 3.5th anniversary.

>>1896396
>tfw I'm finally getting a Cyrus
Yaaaaay! Already got a Primrose so I'll shive that extra somewhere

>>1896526
You seem to know a lot. What would you recommend we pick up from the free 5 star unit? What's the best choice

>>1896694
My two biggest picks are Jane for dealing massive axe damage and Primrose for being able to regen/buff/boost the Ultimate gauge.

But I can give you a list of others if you're going for the A4:
Nicola - Def down for 3 turns. Good when combined with Signa's A4.
Harley - Atk down for 3 turns. Good when combined with Signa's A4.
Therese - Thunder down when broken
Z'aanta - Bow down when broken
Grieg - Damage Cap up 50,000
Nina-Lanna - Dark down on break.
Hasumi - Increases buffs for an extra turn.
EX Primrose - Also increases buffs for an extra turn.
Eleonora - Dodge some physical attacks. The poor man's EX Ophilia A4.
Joshua - Sword down on break.
Nina-Lanna - Dark down when broken
Molu - Fire Down on break.
W'ludai - Spear down on break

>>1896926
Bases, Already have Primrose and we are getting a 2nd one so I'll leave her at that. Might pick Jane then or Prim EX

Of course
You will make a massive pulling spree at one point if you desire a collab banner such as DQ and FF6. Also with free selectors from the gen poll every now and then, these guys will help you immensely >>1896926

you think they'll do a trilogy boxset for the Octopath series? I know the bundle is sold out on play asia.

>>1898665
Wait, wtf is this?

>>1900760
Yes, those are literally the two characters you needed to pull. Crick is shit without Hikari EX, and if you get Hikari EX, you gotta get Crick. Congrats, newbro!

>>1903535
NeTease fucked up again and accidentally released Relisha without properly proofreading her skills and other translations. She was in the free EX Hikari/Rai Mei banner for a day before they changed it and took her out again.

Though against all odds, someone actually got her. I WISH that someone was me.

We are gonna deny the OT0's alternative timeline in the Crossed Stories, aren't we?

>>1908090
I wouldn't be surprised if that was added in a later update. They could literally just port Or'Galdera and Amatsukami no Orochi later for less effort.

I'm not exactly sure if i have any magic with the right amount of fire to consider pulling for Lynnette but i've been hearing a lot of good things about Mydia.

EX Sigrid looks like a pretty solid unit. Might try her out sometime. Her A4 also looks like it could be useful for Pardis, who burns through SP like motherfucker.

I downloaded this game during a Live a Live collab to get my man Oersted but stopped playing shortly after. Now that I'm giving it another shot, is there a way to get Awakening Stones besides getting dupes in the gacha? Just looking at the bonuses it seems like getting to at least Stage 2 is pretty important.

For certain banners, you can use the Awakening Exchange. You can trade six Awakening Stones for 1000 shards a pop. Then exchange 6000 shards for a single Awakening Stone.

Collabs (among certain others like Champions of Memory and Seasonal Banners) are different. You can buy one awakening stone ONLY during the first run of the collab banner. Otherwise you HAVE to get to pulling if you want multiple awakening stones. For Live a Live, you better hope you have some cash handy.

Pardis and Ceraphina have been doing great for me. So happy i choose to hold off on doing those EX fights. Almost at 6,000 rubies. 6 thousand is minimum required for pity right? I feel like Mydia will be a great addition to the team.

The 3.0 Updates are winding down. So let’s see who’s left to get:

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS
Morena (Scholar)

SACRED BLAZE

This fucker…this fucker right here is the LITERAL DEFINITION of Developer’s Revenge:

>Has 58,000,000 HP and 70 Shield Points RIGHT OFF THE FUCKING BAT.
>Restores his HP, Shield Points and eliminates debuffs every turn.
>Summons 3 waves of monsters which get progressively stronger.
>Every few turns the Ouma Scholar will sacrifice a monster and increase his attack at the cost of his defense. Which is good because his defense is also jacked. Like hitting an overpowered Cait.
>Killing each monster reduces the Ouma Scholar’s max HP and shield points, but he blocks his weaknesses in exchange.
>Uses Master’s Wrath and wipes out your entire party after TEN Turns instead of the usual 15.
>Oh and if you somehow manage to deplete his shield points, break him…but you DON’T kill him after his first break? He wipes out your party anyways!
>Hope you managed to strike the right balance between sacrificing and killing monsters, because otherwise, you’re fucked!

Jesus H. Christ what was Square smoking when they made this guy. I shudder to think of what nightmares the Masters of Part 6 will induce…

That's what you get when metafags complains about the game being piss easy.

>>1934935
Ah yes…the Risk Enemies.

And somehow these bastards are tied to Crossed Paths as well.

Only seven more months until Crossed Paths 3…

Guess what, bitches? We got a Special Event coming this Thursday. A brand-spanking new Traveler! One that we might be getting before anyone else!

It’s Xerc the Scholar! Ice and Wind mage and Lover of all things Soulstone!

This, my friends…THIS here is the reason they put in 17 original characters into Octopath 0. So that we can pull for them in COTC, just like we did for the Octopath 1 and Octopath 2 characters.

Good luck, and happy pulling! You’ll need it!

Let me reiterate.

This is the first time Global has a getting a completely new traveler. This not someone JP has had before like Reime or Stia, nor is it a Chinese exclusive like EX Lynette and EX Sigrid. This is uncharted territory right here.

That doesn’t mean JP, CN or TW won’t get this guy along with is this Thursday. But it does mean that they didn’t get them before us!

Legit don't understand this. Are they gonna added her as a trial boss or something?

Just downloaded this. Encountered a they/them in my beginner rolls. How much should I worry about the translation/localization quality?

>>1936892
Side Orsterra is fine.
It's when Side Solistia starts that's when the localization was going to EoS before SEA version took the reins and they've been using AI. Some of the stuff starting from Side Solistia and later are near-incomprehensible.

>>1936892
This is one of those moments where I disregard the localization. Menno's a dude through and through.

Xerc confirmed for CN and TW. Xerc is also an Orsterran Memory Traveler. One of his major gimmicks is that he collects Soulstones of different types and gets buffed based on the number of Soul Stones.
1+ Soul Stone - +10,000 Damage Limit up and Elemental Crit
2+ Soul Stones - +10,000 Damage Limit u and 20% Elemental Attack
3+ Soul Stones - +10,000 Damage Limit up and 10% Elemental Damage Up

Also Soul Stones grant Xerc 10% Elemental Damage up for the Corresponding Element.

Xerc can also do a follow-up attack of any elemental attack.

And his A4 grants 70,000 Damage Limit up and gives the front row 10% Elemental Damage Up.

By the by. The TW promotion grants you a free Xerc Awakening Stone and a chest with a random Orsterran Memory Traveler.

Xerc was nice to me yesterday.

Anyone else manage to snag his pendant?

Also, which of the OT0 17 would you want to have appear next?

Stia and Reime are already guaranteed to show up.
