He could be useful for some bosses. I'm about to start Ophilia's chapter 2. I accidentally stumbled upon the thief shrine while trying to get to her location.

He's saved my bacon on the Chapter 3 bosses since you mentioned him. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog of Zahan 213 Posted July 30, 2018 At about 64 hours in, and all but two stories completed. This game is amazing, and I'm proud to have stuck it out all the way through so far! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Democrobot 996 Posted July 30, 2018 I've been slacking in the game. Mostly don't have the energy to play. Decided the best route to go right now would be to do Olberic's chapter 2 while I train Alfyn up a bit so he can handle his chapter 2 with ease.

The Dog of Zahan 213 Posted July 30, 2018 At 68 hours, I've completed all Chapter 4s, gotten all finales, all 12 subclasses, and tied up two sidequest chains vital to post-game content. Now it's a long grind for levels and resources for post-game stuff. I'm happy with this so far! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Democrobot 996 Posted August 3, 2018 Wasn't feeling confident about the Olberic chapter 2 so I started grinding a bit as I went to find more cities. Made it to Goldshore and found the Merchant class. Will double back and get the Warrior class soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plattym3 2,306 Posted August 4, 2018 This is honestly very discouraging. I mean, when did we become a click bait message board. I mean, how hard was it to type out a little message to preface the link?Btw, Octopath has sold 1,000,000 copies. Guess we'll get a sequel, Decipath Travelers. I'd go with 9, but no one likes or easily remembers that prefix. This is honestly really encouraging. For a game that people initially dismissed for being more on the outdated side, it is really making a splash in the market.Maybe it's just a sign of worldwide release. **cough cough, dumbass Squeenix takes a year to translate DQ, cough cough** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies.Didn't mean to sound so harsh, I was just trying to model my response after Democrobot.It's just that these things seemingly have become more common since DQXI got announced. Someone will start a topic and say "hey Bob.com wrote about DQIX" and then just post a link. As a message board, I'd hope we'd just copy & paste the story if it's short or at least say what it's about. Personal preference as I hate clicking.The links work on Tapatalk just fine, but for something so small, a screenshot or note would suffice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dakhil 302 Posted August 7, 2018 Square Enix on Octopath Traveler 1:-Sales stronger than firm's pre-sales forecast; exceeded expectations especially in U.S. & Europe- Higher-than-average ratio of download version vs packagedSquare Enix on Octopath Traveler 2:- (Your analysis on success?) more appreciation to JRPG in recent years, game design that appeals to old Square Enix game fans, new elements including HD-2D, attractive characters etc.Square Enix on Octopath Traveler 3:-(You still think Switch's a good platform for middle-range games?) Yes.-(Can we expect more of similar games from you?) Yes-(Platforms?) Octopath is Switch exclusive, where appropriate for forthcoming ones. Square Enix better not half-ass the Nintendo Switch version of Dragon Quest XI (port wise and marketing wise). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YangustheLegendaryBandit 3,378 Posted August 8, 2018 Since no one else has brought this up around here, this is as good a place as any to post this on the Den. image: http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Dj5yQnOUUAA4WCL_thumb.jpg Square Enix is teasing a new game in the Bravely series from Square Enix Business Division 11. On the official Japanese Twitter account for the series, a new image and message was shared. In addition to again sharing a congratulations message celebrating one million copies being shipped, it showcases one of the Bravely series’ fairies’ shadows and suggests the next game the developer is working on is a part of that series. Here is the translation of the full Bravely series’ tweet: It has already been reported, \ Octopath 1 million shipped / Thank you! Well, well…… !? Please keep an eye out for Square Enix 11 BD’s upcoming game. m_ _m image: http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DjqCQYU4AALLvZ_thumb-1.jpg The artwork in the tease also flips the image from the tweet celebrating one million shipments of Octopath Traveler, so it looks more like the silhouette of a fairy. It also makes it look like that game is casting the shadow of a cryst-fairy. It should also be noted that the Twitter handle has been changed to “ブレイブリー◯◯◯◯◯” (Bravely ____) to go with the teaser. Octopath Traveler is immediately available for the Nintendo Switch worldwide. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy and Bravely Second: End Layer are both available for the Nintendo 3DS. Read more at http://www.siliconera.com/2018/08/06/square-enix-teasing-a-new-bravely-game-on-twitter/#x8HZAfS6pc4PdxPP.99 I didn’t even notice the 1,000,000 copies image looked similar to Airy’s pose on Bravely Default’s boxart. Now I can’t unsee it! It’s about time we heard about the next Bravely game. Hopefully it’s script won’t be as....”interesting,” as Bravely Second’s was. Yes I know I’m the minority who wasn’t a fan of Bravely Second’s attempts at humor, and I’m sure Platty will point that out. Hooray for being different.

Soera 74 Posted August 8, 2018 I hope this is a sign for the third game. Its the one thing (other than a unique DQ game) that would get me to pick up a Switch sooner than later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
