Story bosses often feel stronger than their recommended level while contend opponents feel weaker than their recommended level. Maybe this is intentional so that players can acquire items easily. #OctopathTraveler0

Why did Ulrika use her power words at the end of this stream? Is she trying to brainwash the player into playing Horizon 2? #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
I can't help but notice that the map has the names of all the major establishments in Creil, almost as if the UI itself wants to honor their memory. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
Harwood's toxin doesn't proc easily on bosses, but when it does, the damage can reach six digits due to the bosses' inflated HP. It almost makes up for how auto-guests rarely ever use their S-Crafts. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
Somehow, Harwood only has an SS-ranked S-Craft. I know Anguis aren't necessarily chosen for their combat ability, but he seems like he should at least have an X-ranked S-Craft after his performance in the previous game. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
The game sets you up to believe Celsus is a devout cleric, but he's actually a devout thief/assassin. #OctopathTraveler0
Maybe I'm pushing this gimmick too far, but Captain Klinger from Metaphor: ReFantazio was canonically in this situation.

Orbal RAM prices are going up because Van and Shizuna keep sparring in the Grim Garten. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
After I decided to unlock the scholar class for the protagonist, I ended up recruiting a scholar in the next town anyways. At least she covers different elements from me. #OctopathTraveler0

If a boss uses an S-Break in response to you using a 0-delay craft, you might be able to use Shard Commands and take action before they can activate their S-Craft. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
I really need to resist the urge to use the equipment shop and instead just rely on path actions and chests to obtain my equipment. #OctopathTraveler0
It's getting more noticeable that the series keeps making a lot of strong characters into bosses, only to not even give them an S-Craft until a later game. At best, we might get a regular Craft that looks like an S-Craft. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
Tytos is so evil that he destroyed Wishvale's save point. Even Mugen didn't go that far. #OctopathTraveler0
I can't believe Rean's party has the audacity to post their sweets reviews to Van's blog after nearly being captured by the CID. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
I was expecting the protagonist's starting class to be more of a "Freelancer" jack-of-all-stats than a Warrior-lite. I guess having a more defined role could make the tutorial section of the game a bit easier. #OctopathTraveler0
I hope that someday, Aaron gets to keep the Masked Martial Artist's swords, Pojun and Tanlang, as a weapon skin like what Jusis and Kurt had. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
For some reason, the attack buff icon is a house. Is this a good or bad sign for Gemeid's housing market? #HerHeartAnew2 #RPGMaker
One disadvantage of automatic guest characters is that they cannot use shard commands, meaning they might not benefit from Ultimate Wind if they move first. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
In the post-finale title screen, it looks like there's an empty spot reserved for Oersted. Maybe under different circumstances, he and the protagonists could have formed an Octopath Traveling team. #LiveALive
Seeing Prime Beast Essence in any ingredient list fills me with a sense of despair. It's like the game is trying to trick me into buying DLC. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
Ultimate Wind is a powerful Shard Command, but it needs to be used when everyone's turns are close together, otherwise the most delayed characters might not ever get their turn. #TrailsBeyondTheHorizon
