Damn, I've never heard of this game so I'm just here nodding like: "Ah, yes Herminia and Auguste, my buddies. I think I saw them at the local barbecue last week."
Can't wait for the rings to become a secret or true final boss, where the rings merge to become a beast and all of the characters team up to destroy the rings
alternative ending: after you beat the final boss, the person who gave you the ring appears and uses the rings to kill you over, and over, and over again
Octopath had a really interesting story, really. The final boss was stupidly difficult, but it was nice that it required you to actually use every aspect of the super in-depth combat
I literally found this out a just two weeks ago when i listened to the OST and found Daughter of the Dark God and was like "i dont remember hearing this track". So i looked it up and found that a final boss existed after finishing all 8 stories. It is unbelievebly hard anf you have to be lucky in how the boss attacks in both phases. Its also interesting that Simion, Primroses final boss, has a connection to the ring of Fame in CotC.
I really wished they weren't encased in their own worlds, they kind of mingle with one another, but each character had their own story completely separate for each other despite working with one another and adventuring together.
I love how I have to strategies my characters. I have Cyrus as my Arch Mage/Sorcerer Ophelia Healer/Starseer Primrose Dancer/Healer Therion Theif/Runemaster By having two healers, which I either make Primrose or Tressa, I can tank more hits. And Cyrus is my main guy besides Ophilia that has the most SP to do attacks. Ophelia is my support, and Cyrus can pack quiet the punch as Arch Mage with his special power that targets one guy. Therion is both support and attack, it works great.
Definitely a super interesting theory. The only key point that I think was missed is the ritual to purify the rings; meaning the reason that the rings made Tytos, Herminia, and Auguste go berserk is because the rings are corrupted, or rather become corrupted. The ritual to purify them is successful…but then we see what happened to Pathos and Apathia (the Ring Maidens)… The more interesting thing to perhaps look into is the Tower of Remembrance. If you defeat all of the elite enemies in a particular region, you’ll unlock a boss within that particular “bonfire” inside the tower. If you defeat that extra boss, you unlock some lore about HOW Auguste, Herminia, and Tytos came across the rings… …they were given to them by a shadowed figure. Sound a bit familiar? A “shadowed figure” also gave our character their ring. Maybe they’re the same person. Just my thoughts.
Actually *Spoiler ahead, you've been warned* ................................................................................................................... ................................................................... ................................................................ .................................... You nailed it on the head. Although Simeon did give Auguste his ring, the shadowy figure who gave you the ring actually gave all eight rings to human's. He's actually Finis the father of the gods and he turned eight of them into rings to resurrect his wife Orsa, the only problem is the eight gods he turned into rings were the ones protecting the world so Finis felt conflicted because he also noticed that Humanity wasn't exactly that great. So he bestowed the rings unto them as a way for them to decide for him whether they deserve protection or he should let them rot and revive Orsa. If you played Octopath Traveler that's why only Winnihild, Balogar, Steorra and Dreisang are physically present in the game. Aelfric and the rest of the gods who represent the 8 basic classes are the rings.
This was a very interesting Theory as a fan of the series my only question is does this game have a secret final boss that is ridiculously overpowered and requires precise strategies unlike the rest of the game
The original game does. This game being a newly released mobile game with a slow rollout of content, not really yet. There’s still super bosses, but nothing BS. But I hear in the Japanese game (which has been out for over two years now) there are plenty of BS difficulty bosses requiring precise strats (and sometimes specific Gatcha characters)
@@tristanbowles7258 The global release is actually at a much accelerated pace for content. We are getting the Tikilen cup very soon, for example. Additionally, while I haven't been able to see them yet, I have heard that once you've beaten a couple BT fights you can attempt some level 100 fights that are basically impossible for now.
As someone who played the original Octopath Traveler: Yes, MatPat, the 13th god WAS indeed that bad (not to mention a secret boss you need a strategy guide to beat) Seriously, tho, please look at the original game.
We are TOLD he wants to end humanity by a corrupt entity. What, do you think corrupt gods have a "no lying" policy? Before you start bashing Matpat, try using some critical thinking
Honestly this could be an anime if someone creative got their hands on this game and watched the theories to make it have a twist like you’re summoned then turns out theyre evil idk
Can we actually have a theory on the original Octopath? Between all the grinding and the different stories, it was hard to put everything together and it was a fantastic game.
It would be pretty interesting to see a theroy on Gahldera (13th god), as he has a major role in the postgame of the original octopus that and works as the plot device that pulls the right character paths together.
6:11 they did lead the town and survive. you said it yourself, a year passed between master of wealth and bestower of wealth. they weren't exactly defenseless without our help, either. in the battle that ensues at the start of the bestower of wealth prologue, there are eleven enemies shown in the cutscene, and all but one of them are dead in the next. you only take out three in the battle. i'm sure they handled themselves pretty well over that year.
If you play original Octopath Traveler, you will learn later that "Galdera", the 13th God are the evil one. It has massive spoilers, since the original one story also tied to this prequel game. And some characters appeared or mentioned at original are appeared at CoTC.
Meta stuff is really big in the team that makes Octopath. Like I said: look into the Bravely Default series. I 100% believe in the "The ring is controlling your choices" theory just because it is very very on brand.
Yep, one of my favorite moments ever is in the original Bravely Default when the big bad is explaining his plan. Internally, I'm going "Blah blah blah, conquer the world/Celestial Realm, whatever." Then the screen breaks and I see myself, suddenly I realize who his target in the Celestial Realm is and flip out from both the reveal and how high the stakes become.
@@firefliesowlcity12 I forget the specifics, but there was something I read somewhere where snack of the serpent involved it being implied that the composer's world was the snack? I wish I could find the reference, I thought it was super cool. But yeah, the Bravely series seems like something MattPat would really like.
ive only heard about octopath traveller in passing and my only impression of it was that it looked aesthetically pleasing so to see a theory from you and hear about it, it sounds interesting!
Can you please make a theory for the first OCTOPATH traveller, I loved the first game and after 100% completing the game I was still somewhat co fused on the story.
I actually think the "Ring is the true bbeg" is the intended lore. It mirrors the original Octopath Traveler in your actions throughout the game actually makes it possible to summon and fight the secret super-boss.
3:08 "Any truly traditional RPG deserves itself a traditional Game Theory Episode. So today, I am here to tell you that classic Game Theory thesis we love so well: the hero is..." Me: "Ness?"
I've been wondering... if all of the ringbearers can transform into a monster with the power of their respective rings... does the main traveller character also has that ability?... as MatPat said, how are we different? The only thing we notice is that all rings except ours glows red instead of blue...
Spoilers but they have to activate their ring in order to do so. It's something they have to chose to do. Matpat left that part out. Main character chooses not to do it, hence we ARE different. It's not our abilities, it's our choices. Really feels like he didn't actually read the story imo.
I remember being addicted to the Switch game a couple years ago, so I got excited when you guys randomly made a video about it. Can’t wait to play this new game.
Just because a god of absolute justice established a world order of domination and submission, doesn't mean the one they found so abhorrent as to lock away forever isn't an evil chaos god out to destroy all existence. The enemy of one extreme is likely another and should not be your friend, MatPat.
That final statement on the video is like hearing that Zeus punished Prometheus for giving humanity the gift of fire, and going on to think "Maybe Kronos wasn't such a bad guy after all"
I need to suggest a game that has some of the darkest lore I know and I really feel like a theory can be made out of it. The game is called is called Into The Radius. It's a VR game and it's got some really cool features and hidden lore that is found while exploring throughout the game.
I had no idea Octopath Traveler had a mobile game, I thought this was going to be a theory on the main game, I'm okay with this too, I'm glad to hear it's not a game you can't play without spending 100s of $, that's why I never touch Mobile games, that and it's kind of hard to play games on a phone.
Tbh square Enix makes game look soo beautiful like every game I play by them looks amazing 👏 they care about how the game looks and the gameplay 👌 perfect
*_I've been playing Octopath ever since it's release; and I've had so much fun so far, giving me old RPG vibes... Thanks for reviewing this game MatPat!_*
... our ring looks bigger more powerful and reminds me of... something... "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"... not to mention 3 warring factions, seeking power to put them on level or at better odds than the other. Rings that granted wealth, power, and longevity given to each ruler among the 3 factions, given to the leaders, of which... would they not be the most famous of their species? So yeah I'd buy your theory, Octopath Traveler we're basically Sauron from the Hobbit and LOTR books/movies. Edit:... I made this 1/2 way through the video, that the ring is pushing you along controlling your will... yep this is basically Lord of the Rings/Hobbit.
Thank you for introducing me to Octopath Traveler! I am absolutely in love with the game and already put 24 hours into it! Right now I am playing the original but love it all the same. Great story, characters, design, just everything!
I mean the game literally states that the rings give you power but what you do with that power is up to you. They don't inherently corrupt. So the basis of your theory doesn't really work.
While watching this, one thing kept ringing in my head, pounding ever harder like a drum, one thing, the Dark Lord's testament: "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."
Oh this would be an amazing post game content imagine fighting back against the control of the Ring. Doing all of this just have the world turn on you. With it probably being one of the hardest challenges. Finishing it off with you fighting the master of your ring.
Wealth, fame, power. Gol, D., and Roger, the Tyrants of the rings, attained everything this world has to offer. And so, one man went to find these treasures. The world has truly entered a Great Tyrant Era!
I loved Octopath Traveler for the Switch since its release and was sad that it didn't get the hype it deserved :( the mobile game is so fun too and I love every aspect about it 😭
MatPat's never gonna see this, but I would absolutely LOVE to see a theory on ULTRAKILL's lore. It features a lot of mystery especially based upon the disappearance of God. I'd love to see his take on this story and possibly even see him theorize on what's next.
Galdera is pretty evil, as his goal is to consume all life and become the one and only existence for eternity. But here's my theory: Aelfric, knowing this, becomes increasingly terrified of Galdera getting out, so he beats the other gods into submission, as he believes he's the only one capable of keeping Galdera locked away. Sort of like Gwyn from Dark Souls, in a way.
I think it's also worth mentioning how Octopath's successor game "Triangle Strategy" refered to Aelfric as a devastating weapon that could be crafted Apparently at it's full extent, it could grant someone god-like power
Coupled with poor climactic pacing, Octopath Traveler provides a series of genuinely enjoyable side-stories worth playing, sandwiched into a trite overarching plot that cheapens the impact of those stories. Octopath Traveler is available now on PC, Switch, and Xbox One
This is a huge mechanic that is used in the Bravely Default series, in which we are led by an certain individual or concept that brings us to an ending, but then it pulls the rug and tells us that it's not the true ending. It's so fun and crazy.
If a divine ring comes your way, question everything. I wonder if there's a way to avoid the ring or stop its control. I mean there has to be as long as one understands how something functions
Great video, I really loved it! I think a nice game you could do a theory on would be Unravel Two. It has a lot of lore when you play the levels, and it's over a fun game that compliments teamwork
Damn, I've never heard of this game so I'm just here nodding like:

MatPat doing a video about this gem of a game is… just… MARVELOUS !
Funny how MatPat intros have more dedicated art and animation than the actual game they’re theorizing about

Game Theory will always be a legendary Chanel ❤❤

I still think you would like looking into "Game for Anna" / "Darkness under my bed".
I mean the game literally states that the rings give you power but what you do with that power is up to you. They don't inherently corrupt. So the basis of your theory doesn't really work.
No joke my deepest desire is to have the worlds biggest and best cat sanctuary.
Kitties are gods and deserve to be treated as such.
Was pleasantly surprised to see a game theory on this game. And an interesting one too!
While watching this, one thing kept ringing in my head, pounding ever harder like a drum, one thing, the Dark Lord's testament: "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul."
The ring must be destroyed
Was not expecting this game to get a theory!!
I love that mark was in the beginning as the all powerful
Oh this would be an amazing post game content imagine fighting back against the control of the Ring. Doing all of this just have the world turn on you. With it probably being one of the hardest challenges. Finishing it off with you fighting the master of your ring.
Wealth, fame, power. Gol, D., and Roger, the Tyrants of the rings, attained everything this world has to offer. And so, one man went to find these treasures. The world has truly entered a Great Tyrant Era!
Btw matpat you should play and make a theory on the game series The Room, it's super fun and SUPER mysterious , just right for you!
6:39 AH AH THATS A HAMILTON HE DID A HAMILTON
He did indeed
I loved Octopath Traveler for the Switch since its release and was sad that it didn't get the hype it deserved :( the mobile game is so fun too and I love every aspect about it 😭
MatPat's never gonna see this, but I would absolutely LOVE to see a theory on ULTRAKILL's lore. It features a lot of mystery especially based upon the disappearance of God. I'd love to see his take on this story and possibly even see him theorize on what's next.
I literally just started playing this this week xD

No way, I love OCTOPATH Traveller, this is insane that you’re doing a video on it
Love both the original game and CotC. Really hope to see more Octopath theories.

I wonder where I've heard that before?
At 2:23 …. That Markiplier? Lmao
i love this game and I loved seeing a theory about it

Ok dont read my name 😑 😒 ...
I agree with myself
13:56 or maybe the 13th god was even worse than the 12th when both options are bad you are forced to pick the lesser of the two.
God damn, you know Matt's pulling weight when Google itself is the sponsor.

I NEVER expected an Octopath Theory but I am VERY happy! Thank you MatPat for giving this great game recognition!

The first minute was my favorite of the entire video Lol
Galdera is pretty evil, as his goal is to consume all life and become the one and only existence for eternity. But here's my theory: Aelfric, knowing this, becomes increasingly terrified of Galdera getting out, so he beats the other gods into submission, as he believes he's the only one capable of keeping Galdera locked away. Sort of like Gwyn from Dark Souls, in a way.

You just commented on sssniperwolf
@Oscar Univerze i translated it
I think it's also worth mentioning how Octopath's successor game "Triangle Strategy" refered to Aelfric as a devastating weapon that could be crafted
Apparently at it's full extent, it could grant someone god-like power
This was 🔥🔥🔥

i love jrpgs so much. this looks super fun and i love the story as well :D
Hermidia is so pretty and such a sad back story I find it cool if the rings were the final secret boss and your team is all the ring owners
Me patiently waiting for matpat to finish the mass effect theory 🙂
Coupled with poor climactic pacing, Octopath Traveler provides a series of genuinely enjoyable side-stories worth playing, sandwiched into a trite overarching plot that cheapens the impact of those stories. Octopath Traveler is available now on PC, Switch, and Xbox One

Oh mygod the bots
Wealth, fame, power, gol d Rodger had this and everything else the world had to offer
2:04 So you're telling me you start with a ring of power, rather than go in two episodes so far with bupkiss rings to show for it?
cool.

This is a huge mechanic that is used in the Bravely Default series, in which we are led by an certain individual or concept that brings us to an ending, but then it pulls the rug and tells us that it's not the true ending. It's so fun and crazy.

If a divine ring comes your way, question everything. I wonder if there's a way to avoid the ring or stop its control. I mean there has to be as long as one understands how something functions
Great video, I really loved it!
I think a nice game you could do a theory on would be Unravel Two. It has a lot of lore when you play the levels, and it's over a fun game that compliments teamwork
