    What if a ring could grant you your deepest desires... at the cost of your own freewill? I think that is what may be happening to our character in the new mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. While the story is still ongoing, I think we can figure out what awaits us on our hero's journey and how this whole thing may just be a trick... Let's go!

      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 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.

  • @Aer_333

    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.

      ...................................................................................................................
      ...................................................................
      ................................................................
      ....................................
      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.

      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)

    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.

    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...

    • @bi_luna_games
      @bi_luna_games Рік тому +12

      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.

    ... 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.

    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 didn't really play that game since it's a mobile game, but I did play the first Octopath Traveler game which is the sequel of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. As far as I know, the first Octopath Traveler game has Ophelia the Cleric, Cyrus the Scholar, Tressa the Merchant, Olberic the Knight, Primrose the Dancer, Alfyn the Apothecary, Therion the Thief, and H'aanit the Hunter. In Octopath Traveler 2, you get Ochette the Hunter, Castti the Apothecary, Throne the Thief, Osvald the Scholar, Partitio the Merchant, Temenos the Cleric, and Hikari the Warrior. In Octopath 2, they replaced the Knight job with the Warrior job but they both function the same way.
