what i really like so far abt 2 is that they put in a lot more little details. the sprites still have the paper doll thing where sometimes you need to approximate an action thats too complicated to animate but way more stuff DOES have custom animations like particio pulling out a bag or throné doing the little knife flip at the end of battles, and also it seems like the protagonists you havent picked up yet have different dialogue depending on the party leader who talks to them which is great. most importantly though i really like that they have dialogue that react to each other in combat though, like giving them all lines for when specific party members do a good job or are in danger is really sweet

#c.paradisi #octoposting #octo1's weakest point to me was that the party members just did not interact with each other enough #the travel banters were good(i mean. the good ones were.)#but having them talk to each other in battle which you do a lot more of does a much better job selling that these ppl are like. friends #hopefully in octopath 3 they have onscreen gay sex but for now ill take all the girls taking turns telling throné she smells nice #also i dont wanna praise the game too much before i see the clerics route #but hopefully this game wont have the problem where like #if in-character a lot of the ot1 protagonists shouldve fucking hated each other. but theyre not actually allowed to fight #like primrose and alfyn shouldve been at each others' throats.#<- like if u do have characters who have mutually exclusive moral codes thats not bad . but in that case i want to see blood and biting #either i want the characters to make sense as buddies OR i want them to have clashing personalities that actually clash #the best im hoping for from the cleric is that he will be blandly inoffensive #idk if youve picked up on the incredibly subtle undertones but i was not a fan of ophilia #ideally he would be actively terrible and so a bunch of characters would have interesting conflicts with him #BUT i will settle for him just being There and not much else
