Topic	My impressions as I play Octopath Traveler for the first time.
BakusaiTenketsu 09/09/20 8:03:47 PM #156:	H'aanit, Chapter 4 Got a Red Eye problem? H'aanit is on it! I purposely saved this Chapter for the final one because H'aanit has become my favorite Octopath Traveler, despite having the weakest path action and trait (imo), and I wanted to end the stories on a high. I was not disappointed. Playing her Chapter reminded me of Star Wars in a way where a young Jedi Padawan who has lost their master comes into their own to become a full-fledged Jedi Knight. Corny comparison, I know, but that was the similar feeling I had with H'aanit and Z'aanta. H'aanit comes to Marsalim and saves the entire kingdom from a most dangerous foe that only she can fight, while the entire nation rallies to protect her from the lesser enemies that encroach upon the city. It's rather epic story-telling. The final fight with Red Eyes was great too. I could tell it was definitely meant to be harder than I gave it a run at since by this point all my characters are level 55+ and I have tons of weapons in the 380+ range, but the enemy itself definitely seemed ominous. My best guess is that it must be something that came forth from the Gate of FInis considering it's appearance, and the way that H'aanit reacted after she dispatched it, "What evil is this?" The reunion with Z'aanta was great. He picks her up as if she is still a child and his daughter figure, and she is embarrassed for it, and then proceeds to walk into the sunset with him. I can't really explain why all of this worked for me so well, but it was just really well done. Interestingly, H'aanit narrates the final bits as if she is telling someone else, not Z'aanta, but rather her apprentice or even child, the story, also as if it is sometime in the future, and the story I just played through was a retelling of her through the words to that person. No mention of Graham Crossford, Galderra, or the Gate of Finis, or the Obsidians, or any other cross story topic I can think of exists, and so I surmised that Red Eyes was the common factor and will likely be the tie in to the other stories. Now to see where the game leads me from here. I have TONS of side stories to clean up, plus I noticed some new ones (Mikk and Makk had a quest in Noblecourt when I finished Primrose's story), so I'll need to revisit towns and re-Inquire townies that I wasn't able to before. Check out any new purchasables or stealables, and challenge any NPCs I wasn't confident with in the past. --- https://tinyurl.com/yaumw2p7 <cite>BakusaiTenketsu posted [p:944415919] in My impress...
