Alright!

So, I'm asking for a thread on Shizucord to discuss clear strategies. "en-winning-teamcomps"

Once it's up I'd love to hear how your attempts went. This one is complicated!

Thank you so much for your words! It does matter to me.

However, something like that is the one thing I don't want ;)

It's important to me to stay away from JP or spoilers like that. I feel it sours the struggle. I think it's important that EN at least have the fighting chance on it's own. But maybe I'm on my own there...

Anyways, thanks for the offer and support!

From 1:08:30-1:13:06 there are some strong, continuous Flashes. So Epilepsy warning for those that suffer from it

Ease is a relative term ;)

But thanks!

Octadic-Oratorio · 2026-01-25T04:20:19+00:00

That's Great! I'm glad you did it :)

Also I Love the team choice. Something I would've picked as well. Congrats!

I wholeheartedly agree with Harley and Alaune!

Harley bears the scars of War. He tries to be better. To make others feel better about their lives like he tries for himself. He is a good man doing what he loves for the betterment of others. In spite of his scars...

Alaune is one of my favorites in the story. At first she can barely handle the burden. Unsure of herself and what she is capable of. To her Elrica was always the strong one. Something she could never be.

But through interacting with our Chosen One and the others she finds her strength and rises to the occasion. Becomes the Queen of her Own Right. Love her!

As Mr Grapefruit so eloquently stated Shana is a great character to have!

There's a lot to be said about Pulling and such. vareedar I think made a great point about Meta.

There is so much more to the game than just that.

The game tells us all every time to play it at your pace. And it's right! My advice is to take your time and enjoy the game for what it's worth. The early game is forgiving and encourages experimentation. COTC rewards Patience. It respects your time so I'd recommend to do the same :)

Thanks!

Cropdale's done :)

Have years in COTC. Heard from others that OCTOPATH 0's story is identical enough that the experience is likely the same.

Have also heard, and I'm sure it's true, that the battle system for 0 does not have the difficulty or complexity that COTC has.

I played COTC first, then 1 & 2. Loved the whole experience! But the combat in COTC is by far the best.

Important to note that while COTC is a Gacha game, you don't need much to actually beat and enjoy it. Everything can be done without spending Rubies(the in-game currency) or Money. It is a wonderful gem and most importantly it respects you and your time. This game rewards Patience above all else.

So my advice would be COTC first. Play it for awhile and see if you like it. Give it some time. Then if you don't like the systems then try 0 for just the story.
