OCTOPATH TRAVELER II

好玩

太好玩了，世界上最幸福的事就是玩到一款画风喜欢、音乐喜欢、故事喜欢、战斗系统上头的单机游戏。太爽了完全对上胃口的感觉太爽了。 这是我第一次接触HD2D像素JRPG，目前打完了舞娘线和剑士线，但是就迫不及待来打好评，我很久没有这么沉浸在一个单机游戏里。等打完主线后我打算去把系列1和0也打了，然后再考虑其他的HD2D游戏（完全因为本作而爱上了这个游戏品类……）

der grind ist mega nicht zuviel und nicht zu wenig begegnungen. aber das finden der anderen charaktere ist etwas schwer

第一遍玩的时候，章节之间的等级要求跨度太大，我又不爱刷级，结果直接卡关。后来用 Cheat Engine 刷了 9999999 叶币，体验瞬间丝滑了。商人的召唤佣兵简直是神技，没有垃圾时间，能专心探索地图、琢磨配装，找回了 JRPG 的快乐。整体来说，是很传统的 JRPG 王道作品，但后期吸引力不足，敌人强度只到 55 级，没法让我大后期队伍战斗爽，也没有歧路旅人 0 真结局 36 人战那种好活。 好游戏，推荐史低入手，刷出无限金币爽玩。

相比于前作算是全面进化。流程上变得更加合理，完全没有额外练级就实现了全成就（早已忘记冰龙口）。 单人的剧情不再白开水但总感觉编剧可能从网上搜了类似“10个惊艳读者的脑洞设定”的陈年老贴。偶尔有点小巧思，比如我很喜欢药师线结尾的配药环节，算是两代里剧情与技能相呼应最好的一次。真结局的反转虽然有点刻意但还算合理地串联了八个故事。 克里克好惨一男的。 正常剧情流程的难度低于前作，相当休闲，但是在完全没有额外探索的情况下过早进入番外确实导致我凹了好久正篇最终boss。支线的解谜难度似乎低于前作，大概只有一两条查过攻略（比如等半宿这种神人任务）。 隐藏boss比前作难很多（感觉放眼整个jrpg史也能拼一拼），而神官奥义、先驱和宝可梦又过于bug，导致这一作的最终boss战过于公式化，不如前一部的战术丰富（不过凹到极致发现输出其实也溢出了相当之多）。 调低了全成就获取的难度。但如果能像其他游戏那样提供一个游戏内的独立成就系统，那将更完美一点。

This is a great game and a perfect sequel. I liked the first Octopath Traveler, but only enough that I was left on the fence about buying this game. It was definitely flawed. I understood that though given some of the more unique elements of this JRPG series, from how it handles the story all the way to combat. So there were some things I thought the first game took some risks with that I thought really paid off, but also some aspects that really suffered. I can't tell you a single aspect of this game that wasn't only an improvement over the first game, but used as a launching pad for new ideas. That's what I mean when I call this a perfect sequel. The story is probably the biggest improvement. I like most of the individual traveler stories more in this game than the previous. The way they structure the story and the progression of it isn't too different for about 85% of it. However, the Crossed Paths chapters and the final chapter of this game gave us two things that the first game was sorely lacking: a feeling of relationship between the travelers and a grand conclusion that doesn't undersell the bigger plot of the game. The difficulty is just right. I breezed through the first game (I can't even if I ever died excluding one late game boss and the final boss). I felt like i hit the spike on the difficulty curve after finishing everyone's chapter 2. And that's important because this combat system can lead to some slower fights for a turn-based JRPG, so easy+slow can lead to boring at times. A lot of the both broken and useless aspects of certain jobs, skills, and weapons/armor/accessories were balanced out quite well here. This game is almost everything I thought the first game had the potential to be. I am definitely playing Octopath Traveler 0 after this.
