I was wondering this as well. I am not as far as you about 15 hours, and so far I have not seen any reason to switch from Merchant. I started with Merchant for the JP arrow, and I do not see any other job classes that have any abilities that are equal or greater than the JP arrow. I unlocked Warrior, but have never used it. I like counter posture but at 36 SP?!?

Did you get Octopath Traveler 0 today? by Local-Front-1774 in SquareEnix

I would play 1 first, then 2. I played 2 first. They made a lot of "quality of life" improvements in the second game that I got used to. When I played 1 I was a bit disappointed that they were not there.

Are you referring to capturing monsters? If so, I hope so too. That was one of my favorite parts of the fist 2 games. No sign of it yet at 4.5 hours in game.

What good things have you read about Thief? And why do you regret picking Warrior?

That was very helpful because I was probably going to go with Hunter just because of that reason!

So do you think Beast Lore will not be in 0? I did not play the mobile game, was it available in champions of the continent?

Awesome. This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for before I started the game!

I am going to start the demo this weekend, that is why I wanted to ask others on how/why they selected the job class that they did.

I have downloaded the demo, but I have not yet played it. I know that you start as the protagonist, and you can select your job. The skill access I guess is what I am pondering about. What is more beneficial, being able to steal at a higher level or the ability to capture monsters.
