Happy Pride Month from both Octopath crews <3
These were from a series of print illustration I did for both games. Thought it would be fun to share separately! I love 8path, if it wasn't obvious

honey, you’re familiar / like my mirror years ago
I'm convinced that there is a canon order to the chapters in Octopath 2. It gets a little fuzzy in the middle but some things only make sense if they happen in a particular order.
Throné's Chapter 2 (Mother Route) takes place during the X many months timeskip of Partitio's Chapter 1 (After beating Giff, before setting out)
Temenos's Chapter 2 takes place before Castti's Chapter 1. That way there's no other apothecary to deal with the tainted water.
Temenos's final chapter happens immediately before Ochette's final chapter, the two of them are the last final chapters before endgame. Kaldena's actions are what triggers the Night of the Scarlet Moon
Castti's last two chapters have to happen immediately back to back because there's a time limit on that shit.
Thank you, Castti. Goodbye, Malaya
Excuse me while I CRY. I finished Castti's final chapter a while ago and it absolutely floored me. Definitely my favourite story of them all. I just had to draw it <3
Given how many people of the Lineage of Light get killed in Octopath 2 it's like there's some kind of quiet genocide going on. Just a bunch of completely unconnected murders where the victims happen to be descended from a tribe chosen by oh I get it.
yeah i know it's the Moonshade Order but I think this puts it a little in context.
man the grind to beat galdera truly feels hopeless. i feel like im losing sight of what i loved abt octopath i guess
hikari's theme randomly came up in my writing playlist and it just made me Feel Things. for one it's an amazing piece and i love it a lot, but it made me long for a time in octopath where the character themes played in game (as in, while we were still completing the story. a much simpler time before endgame) :,) i kinda wanna play the game all over again. i only beat it a second time recently but it feels like a literal eternity with how much endgame refinements have taken
or better yet, i should pay a visit to the original octopath again (would be my third playthrough). im probably gonna miss the extra character interactions and qol features but like there's a reason why i called that game my favorite ever before the sequel came around and i wanted to relive the warm fuzzies again i guess
absolutely cracked luck with alrond. i expected a really long training session for my b team (so we can finally beat galdera) and im not even joking first encounter we got a chubby cait. AND THEN!!!!! i summon alrond and i get the exp x100 buff holy shit
then the next two encounters, i summon him and i get the exp x100 buff BOTH TIMES. so pretty much i got the most bang for my buck with my alrond summon
WE ARE READY.
(mastered phase one of the fight so my a team is good!!!)
currently succumbing to grinding in octopath 2 for the super boss…….. getting progressively pissed off at alrond…………
(i swear he was able to do exp x100 pretty fuckin easily but now when i have one last summon with him he absolutely refuses to do it. also i fucked up and didn’t put temenos on my alrond team 😔😔😔😔 so i have to manually grind him to get alrond for free unless im okay with partitio hogging a bunch of levels as The Alrond Guy)
