Octopath Traveler 2 is a fabulous but disappointingly easy JRPG.

Two of those times I was purposely under-leveled and still not in much danger.

I know, I know; JRPG fans will stare at menus and unironically say the gameplay is peak.

But sometimes it’s true!

It was one of the most frustrating, confounding, andsatisfyingexperiences I’ve ever had with a game.

There are a few obvious things that make Galdera ridiculous.

He has two forms that you fight back-to-back with unique parties of four, using all eight titular travelers.

I was still in ‘this game is easy’ mode at the time.

An amulet that totally prevents random encounters.

It’s handy for exploration, but it did not get any use.

That’s enough of that, thanks.
