| Topic | My impressions as I play Octopath Traveler for the first time. |

Most of Chapter 2 for Therion is a rehash of Chapter 1. Stake out the joint, gather information at the bar, and lift a few things off of some local vendors. I actually got caught on one of the pilferings despite the 80% chance of success. After running around and doing errands, I once again just walk through the front door after being allowed in. That doesn't stop me from being randomly attacked in someone's house again though of course. The boss for Therion's Chapter 2 was a bit of a wake up call for the ramping up difficulty. The boss fight probably took 20 minutes, and though I didn't struggle, it definitely felt like I needed to play carefully in order to maximize efficiency, and avoid complacency. The game is not "hard," but it's going to just let you button mash through bosses. The highlights of Therion's Chapter 2 were his flashback with Darius where you can start to understand the meaning behind "No Honor Among Thieves," as Darius attempted to pocket additional spoils, and the ending scene back at Ravus Manor where Cordelia was once again being sweet on Therion. The story saves the chapter from the mundane tasks, and makes me empathize with Therion a bit more. I'm going to hold off on ratings until I've completed at least 4 of these Chapter 2 runs. --- ...
