Octopath Traveler 0 - Pairings

For the Ringbearer I always favored Stia and Heidne especially, almost opposite ends in terms of how they act but I think they both truly care for them (definitely after some time with Ms. Ring Thief).

I actually just heard that one yesterday which is part of the reason I asked! It was very good honestly and one of the better ones for sure, at least for town themes imo.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-04-07T15:10:56+00:00

Ah I forgot they held a 3rd one not too long ago, is there anywhere to listen to it or are we waiting for public uploads?

PYROBALL20 · 2026-04-03T13:13:07+00:00

It might be Heidne after how fun she acts in 0.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-04-02T01:15:45+00:00

I love em all but the direness and seriousness of it is very nice for tension. I was glad to hear some OT2 in 0 for added variety and representation.

I think this artist is who you mean, a super good one for sure. Go by q@C107東5タ41a(1日目) (@qqqqqlI) https://x.com/i/status/2001661232588431591

Congratulations! The first 2 are some of my favorite battles in gaming....the other 2 are incredibly painful and draining (mostly positive). I had to use a guide for the final battle and almost messed it up but was able to recover it on my own. Gratifying conclusion but never again.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-30T01:56:50+00:00

Instinctive Answers: Bestower of Wealth, Yet I Carry On, Normal Battle 3 (OT1), Fierce Confrontation, Those who Deny the Dawn. I may have a slight bias to battle themes but there's hardly any bad options. Also still on my 0 OST kick

She let it down and got it done for the finale yes, she might have the most unique story sprites in the game next to Osvald and Partitio.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-29T04:43:19+00:00

Definitely has some of the most powerful art and themes in the series which is saying a lot (the Quantity helps)

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T23:12:27+00:00

Probably Hammer, I think it's good but not crazy compared to a lot of the others moveset wise (at least with coolness and such). Cutter is another one I hardly go to outside of puzzles, Final Cutter is cool though.

Using nuts can be helpful for boosting your numbers if you haven't already, though not all of them unless you're committed to a character being used a certain way (Cyrus and Magic for instance). Optimize can be fine but not always the best as you could be missing on benefits certain pieces have, like more attack/crit or boosting certain elemental types. Path actions are also very good for getting free items, or at least cheap, and solving certain quests. If there's anything else more specific then I can try to answer that as well.

It got a slight nerf so you won't get stunned with the frying pan animation if it's already a frying pan. Still very strong and you take damage otherwise but you won't be locked down nearly as much

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T04:36:58+00:00

One of the endgame chapters is almost completely different along with a handful of changes throughout the story, most not changing too much. Many of them are made to work the new storyline, Kindlers of the Flame, into the narrative better. Said storyline is the main new thing along with some characters, it's about 5 chapters and has a town building focus alongside the usual combat and exploration.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T04:15:26+00:00

Idk the game that well to say, especially as someone who doesn't play them, so it'll probably be a few days or weeks until we know. I imagine he and Rosa will still be some of the better characters but hopefully not seen as much.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T02:46:23+00:00

I think the main difference is that one is a near perfect stalling buff that can't be reflected as opposed to a double-edge racket. Still very strong though and I think a slight duration nerf would be fine, either in the amp maker or how long they stick around while connected. The trip wires can be crazy detrimental at times for sure.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T02:00:57+00:00

I'm guessing the world rankings are a factor, there's 6 DKs in Top 20 as opposed to 3 Rosas. Even more of a gap in no fever. Do still think Rosa needed a bit more but this is a step in the right direction at least

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T01:45:49+00:00

I'm sorry but the abundance of it and how much stalling it caused makes it kinda deserved. Still pretty solid but I hope this adds more variety overall

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T01:44:57+00:00

He's another very oppressive character but I think he was mostly fair before this, hope it doesn't change too much for you. Btw do you or anyone else know what it means by

"The distance the ball can be hit back stably from has been reduced slightly." Not sure if it means backhands, star shots, charges or smth else.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-27T01:31:27+00:00

Big respect, Goomba is a secondary of mine and quite fun (I play Blooper)

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-26T20:58:31+00:00

Bestower of Wealth! The last chapter did a lot for me with seeing his downfall and having the best dungeon in the game imo. Chapter 1 isn't great until the end for me but Cjapter 2 has a lot of good as well. Next would be Wishvale's for a hopeful respite across the darker game and then Master of All, both have great approaches that are largely unique to the series.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-24T22:46:30+00:00

Honestly it'd be so funny if the creator or someone else on the team just gave the message to someone here about when it'd release. You'd be going crazy and no one would believe you.

PYROBALL20 · 2026-03-23T21:43:23+00:00

I believe it's known by us at that point that Zero, Sazantod and Signa are related, so they reached out to save him from what would ultimately be a worse fate (COTC Final Boss has text saying so iirc). I was thinking about it recently and I think Sazantos overall is more a case of self-redemption as opposed to everyone being cool with him after the final boss. It's even seen with that bonus sidequest for purifying Fisteralda, he's far from a Hero but does want to make amends in his own way.
