A new video for Octopath Traveler II has been released by Square Enix. The film focuses on two of the new travelers who may be controlled by the player inside the game.
This time around, the spotlight is on Ochette the Hunter and Casti the Apocethary, each of whom will have their very own distinctive tale campaigns that players may participate in and enjoy. Their film also provides information on the distinctive paths that each traveler’s journey might follow, in addition to the optional tasks that players can accept.
Ochette and Castti are two new travelers you should meet
The upcoming OCTOPATH TRAVELER II will have a total of eight brand new playable characters. Each of them hails from a completely diverse background, and they each possess their own unique set of talents and capabilities that may be used both within and outside of battle.
Just to name two examples:
Ochette
Suzie Yeung provides the voice.
You are a hunter by profession, and your name is Ochette. Your adventure starts out on the island of Toto’haha, where you are greeted by your fellow beastlings.
You lead a carefree life in spite of the problems you have with the people who reside on the island. That is, until you become aware of an impending catastrophe that is being referred to as the Night of the Blood Moon.
“All right, Master Juvah,” the speaker said. I’ll do it. I’m going to track down those Creatures of Legend and bring them with me.”
You are so determined to save your house that you set sail in the hopes of finding someone who can assist you…
Some of the protagonists and antagonists in Ochette’s story
As would be anticipated, Ochette is surrounded by a plethora of fascinating individuals. You may be surprised to learn, however, that not all of them are human…
Isle Warden, Juvah
Jaimeson Price provides the voiceover.
The commander of the beastlings who reside on Toto’haha as well as Ochette’s master. He has the fondest expectation that she would one day serve as a defender of the island.
Akalā
A ljackal, glowing with the elegance of the sun, was brought to life by Daman Mills. Throughout her voyage, he takes on the role of Ochette’s younger and elder brother respectively.
Mahina
Cristina Vee provides the voice.
A calm and collected malamaowl basking in the glow of the moon. Along the path that Ochette travels, she serves as both a younger and an elder sister to her.
The story of Ochette starts in the city of Toto’haha.
The ocean takes up the majority of the southeast region of Solistia and is littered with many islands of all sizes and forms. Toto’haha is the biggest of them, and it was discovered around twenty years ago by pioneers traveling across the continent.
The beastlings are a people that live in the westernmost parts of this continent. They are short and have fluffy tails.
To the east of Toto’haha is where you’ll find the town of Tropu’hopu, which was one of the first places on the island to be settled by people from the mainland.
Because of the port town’s close proximity to New Delsta, it became popular as a vacation destination for those of means. In addition to this, it is a major stop along the trade routes between the eastern and western continents and produces a variety of high-end items, such as delectable coffee beans.
Actions Taken Along Ochette’s Path
In OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, each and every playable character has access to a variety of unique Path Actions. These are the talents that allow you to communicate with non-playable characters, uncover information or goods, and do other things.
Each character has two different Path Actions available to them: one that can be used during the day, and another that can be used during the night. Here are Ochette’s:
Daytime: Provoke
Ochette has the ability to start a fight by luring a monster to attack a citizen of the town.
If you are victorious, they will be rendered unconscious. However, if you fail an excessive number of times, your reputation will suffer, and as a result, you will no longer be able to utilize any Path Actions.
Evening: Get to know each other
Through the use of this action, you will be able to bring a citizen of the town with you on your travels and call upon them for assistance in combat.
In order to become friends with someone, you will need certain commodities, such as jerky.
Capturing and preparing prey are two of Ochette’s talents.
Ochette has the ability to not only catch monsters but also prepare them so that they may be used as goods.
When an opponent’s health is reduced, when their vulnerabilities are revealed, when they are affected with status diseases, and/or when they are broken, her chances of successfully capturing monsters improve.
After Ochette has vanquished a monster, she has a predetermined probability of immediately capturing the creature.
Monsters that have been defeated and captured may be called upon during combat. Although there is a ceiling on the amount of monsters that Ochette can capture, once they have been captured, they may be called an unlimited number of times, making them formidable allies. They are also capable of compensating for the abilities and components that Ochette is unable to employ.
You have the ability to prepare creatures that you have captured to transform them into valuable things. You may do this action at any moment while on the field, or when you have a party that contains an excessive number of monsters.
You may utilize prepared things to heal, or even to make friends with folks in town when you’re out at night. When you defeat a stronger monster, you are rewarded with a better item, and the allies you make will be stronger as well.
Animal Instincts, the Dormant Capability of Ochette
Every hero in OCTOPATH TRAVELER II has a Latent Power that may be used in the heat of battle if the appropriate gauge has been reached.
When Ochette’s latent power gauge is at its maximum capacity, she is able to unleash her inner beast and get access to specialized abilities.
Beastly Claws and Beastly Fangs are two of the unique talents that Ochette has. Beastly Claws inflicts a devastating physical assault on all enemies, while Beastly Fangs inflicts an extremely powerful physical strike on a single adversary.
The talents associated with Animal Instincts do not need any SP to use, allowing for straightforward and efficient combat.
Castti Florenz
Sarah Weidenheft provides the voice.
You are known by the name Castti Florenz, and you work in the apothecary profession. Your story begins off in a harbor town located in the Harborlands.
You were found floating aimlessly in the ocean, and when you awakened, you realized that you could not remember your own name. Your satchel and your talents as an apothecary are the only things that can help us determine who you are.
“I need to find out who I am all over again. And…one there’s more item to consider. Something vital that I’m unable to remember…
You are unable to ignore the nagging sensation that is developing inside of you, so you decide to start on a trip to regain what you have lost…
A figure from the story told by Castti
Due to the fact that Castti has lost her memories, the circumstances behind her ties are shrouded in mystery.
Heather Gonzalez provides the voice.
A wandering pharmacist who is dumbfounded by Castti due to the fact that her talents have not diminished despite the fact that she has lost her memories. Castti’s compassion for the residents of the village has moved her, and as a result, she has decided to offer her assistance.
The Harborlands are where Castti’s journey officially takes off.
Long stretches of winding coastline may be found in the southern region of Solistia, and along one of these stretches lies the active port city of Canalbrine. Ships that were launched from the piers in this town during the Age of Exploration, which occurred around a hundred years ago, were responsible for discovering the maritime passages that led to the eastern continent.
The massive lighthouse that welcomes ships from every part of the globe and ensures their safe arrival in Canalbrine Harbor serves as the town of Canalbrine’s unofficial mascot. It was built around twenty years ago by a group of engineers who had escaped the destruction of the U, and it is distinguished by its one-of-a-kind architecture. The special mineral that was used to make the reflector plate was made into a mirror-like finish and then fashioned into a plate. The light that the plate produces is said to be seen all the way in New Delsta.
Nowadays, the church that was founded by Canalbrine is a significant starting place for proselytizers and evangelists from the eastern continent who come to propagate the teachings of the Sacred Flame all throughout the western continent.
Daytime activities on Castti’s Path include: inquiring
Castti is able to question the citizens of a town in order to gain information from them if her level is high enough.
The calmness of nighttime
Alleviate the suffering of the citizens of the town so that they may get some rest.
Castti is able to calm the nerves of the townsfolk by using various materials, and the item she needs to use depends on the person she is treating.
Castti’s Talent: Concoct
Castti have the ability to mix different components together to create potions that may either cure or harm. You can use the boost ability to increase the amount of components, and depending on the compound, you could even be able to heal the whole party.
If you use the appropriate chemicals to target an adversary’s vulnerable areas and combine them with a dangerous substance, you may be able to easily shatter them or inflict status diseases on them.
Castti’s Latent Power: Every Drop Counts The ability to create without using up any valuable ingredients is made possible by Castti’s latent power, Every Drop Counts. When your boost is turned up to maximum, you have the ability to save up to five different supplies all at once.
When assisting the team in fights against regular enemies or against bosses, having this skill might be quite helpful.
Castti and Ochette Have Intersecting Lives
Crossed Paths is a new feature that was added to OCTOPATH TRAVELER II. These are tales that include more than one traveler.
Castti and Ochette have made it to the jovial small hamlet of Cropdale, where they have heard that the hunting has been subpar as of late.
The two then go a significant distance into the forest in order to explore…
Various narratives each have their own unique organizational patterns.
In OCTOPATH TRAVELER II, the framework of each traveler’s story is unique to itself. Some of them have many goals, and it is up to you to decide which path you wish to take to accomplish them. Let’s take a look at two instances of characters that we’ve already covered in the past.
For instance, the burglar, Throné, had to determine whether to go for Mother or Father first in their family.
If Throné makes the decision to go after Father, she will go to the town of Winterbloom, which is populated by thieves, where her prey is waiting for her.
If Throné makes the decision to go after Mother, she will go to Oresrush in search of information that may lead her to her prey’s whereabouts.
The merchant, Partitio, has the option of moving on to the next major plot goal or following the Scent of Commerce as it travels around the realm.
During the course of Partitio’s adventure, you never know what kind of hidden gems you could uncover…
Side Stories
There are a total of eight primary storylines centered on different travelers, in addition to a number of minor stories to uncover. Use your Path Actions to assist in finding solutions to the issues that the residents of the town are facing, since some problems might have more than one answer.
When all of a sudden, a merchant’s horses vanish, she is at a complete lost. Is there any way we can provide a hand to her before she is forced to permanently stop her business…?
In order to retrieve the stolen horses, you must first locate the thief and then either challenge him to a duel or ambush him. Or…
You may either Allure or Guide a rancher who is short-handed and then introduce him to the merchant in order to assist the merchant in finding new employment.
The second installment of Octopath Traveler will be available for the Nintendo Switch on February 24th, 2023.
