WAIIIT question-

Is Temenos ACTUALLY related to Claude or is that just a fan theory? I don’t remember anything in the game saying this but if I see a lot of people talking about it-

[tarn-ati0n]

Don't mess with Claude fans there are like three of us.

Sociopath Traveler (Part 2)

After the first game, the 2023 sequel Octopath Traveler II and the 2020 spinoff Champions of the Continent provided a few more sociopaths to the roster. Not nearly as many as in the first game, but they were still incredibly notable.

For profiles on these ones and the first game's roster, click here to see them all. (They may not be finished when you see this.)

Bruh this chapter actually wrecked me emotionally but not in the good way :,D

Yeah, Claude’s appearance was actually so out of nowhere though- I remember when I finished it I like.. stared at the screen for a bit before audibly going “what the fuck-“

They just- didn’t foreshadow him??? He just appears and is like “btw I like did messed up gross shit hehehaha kill me :D” like if you’re gonna add him in the story, at least give him some sort of presence prior to the last 20 minutes of the quest

Akxbwkxhc I actually felt so gross during that whole fight tho like thank god I got it first try bc I think I would’ve quit the game for a bit if I had to go through those cutscenes again ;-; like it was so disturbing…

But aside from that, Lostseed is actually one of my favorite locations in the game lmao it’s so creepy and eerie and it feels so empty (plus the blurry screen effects that happen when you’re there are a nice) like it does such a good job at setting the atmosphere

Also I’m p sure the vessels are Claude’s children :,D

Okay. Reflecting on Throné Chapter Five.

I feel like I've learned a lot of things that don't. Substantively. Change anything. Like the previous chapters, this one's all about the big bad evil guy we're here to face for Throné's freedom.

Claude's been absent for the entire story so I was wondering how this would avoid feeling like the final chapter was just rocking up to some nobody we've never heard of and stabbing him in the ribs. Because after the big showdowns with Father and Mother, "Meet some rando," would be a bit anticlimactic.

And for all the spooky eldritch aesthetic... Yeah, I still feel like we rocked up to some nobody and stabbed him in the ribs. There's a lot of complicated lore surrounding Claude but at the end of the day, he still feels like just some dipshit. A spooky eldritch dipshit is still a dipshit.

The build-up to the confrontation with Claude is fantastic. They really go all in on the spooky atmosphere and eerie tone. But then you meet the guy and... Well. This is all illusory depth, in that it seems deep and meaningful in the moment but then you realize that it didn't. Like. Affect the actual story at all.

Claude: You see, the startling truth is that all of the Blacksnakes have similar genes. Throné: Okay. Claude: And you are my daughter! Throné: I already knew that. Father spilled the beans. Claude: And now for my sinister master plan: You are here to kill me! Throné: I am here to kill you. Claude: You see! You cannot resist but to kill me. Throné: You did nothing. I was always going to kill you. Claude: Come, Throné! And kill me! Throné: We already did this bit with Father. I'm really just here for the key. Claude: You see! Your true nature was to be a killer all along! That was what this story was about! Throné: Yeah, we did that bit with Father too.

Yeah this all kinda fell apart for me once we actually got to Claude.

(Also, I'm not sure how or if he's supposed to be connected to the creepy 'Vessels' in the town outside. Like, they're all eldritch-possessed and shit. But this guy's just a sperm donor. Is whatever's affecting those people supposed to be something else, and this random immortal guy's just chilling on Cthulhu's couch? Or what?)

How I imagine the theory that he and Claude are related to go down

[blvcklizard]

He's so babygirl (a 26 y o mass murderer)

[rage-of-draefendi]

Normally I don't like hurting anyone, but can I kill him again?
