      I’m sure there was a lot of games that owed their success to the original Trials of Mana but I understand why you would that the 1995 game is the grandad of Octopath Traveler. Both were developed by Square Enix albeit one was an real time action RPG while the other is a turn-based RPG. Amazing how Square Enix can develop two different styles of RPGs and still find success on both sides. Really hard to do that to transition from one style of combat to another and then go back the other way.

The original Trials of Mana made the multiple characters with their own stories popular while Octopath Traveler not only used that but made it slightly better. The only differences was the combat system. The reason they called one the predecessor of the other is because both were developed by Square Enix.

    Duran DD: Dark saber

    Charlotte LD: Saint saber.

    I usually start by choosing a Route, choose both of them, then put Charlotte into slot three. Not only as a healer, but also because having her in slot three gives you a full team before the first boss. When doing her and Kevin's route, I used to fill slot 2 with Hawkeye to deal with trapped chests. However, as the remake does away with that mechanic, I'll probably experiment with other team comps.

    Having played the SFAM version a lot of times, I'd say one of the strengths of the game is replaying. You have to play 3 times to get all the endings, you'll want to replay more to try all the classes, and find better combinations. So don't sweat it too much, experiment!

    • @jonp1952
      @jonp1952 4 года назад +3

      Yeah, there wasn't really any need to create a perfect combination as all groups could essentially beat the game. I'm looking forward to seeing if Necromancer is any good in the remake, as it was probably one of Carlie's worst classes in the original, iirc. In the original summons were basically just on screen effects, so I'm looking forward to seeing if they change that in the remake. That said, my predownload does not seem to be working so I'm getting rather frustrated. Kind of disappointed Kevin and Duran actually cover up way more the more they change classes. Whereas the others lose clothing for the most part. Also a little sad Kevin's wolf transformations weren't shown.

    characters. Shade is good. Other mana spirits sound comically. Most of
    female characters are good. Male characters - depends. They simply had
    to lower load on existing voice actors and buy hours from other voice
    actors.
    3. Battle system is underdeveloped and lacks simple commands for
    companions - back off, stand still, attack, cast/dont'cast. Game gives
    you plenty of candies to compensate it, however this brings less

    Charlotte: Necromancer (healing + debuffing)
    Reisz: Star Lancer (group buffing)

    TBH, all class combinations can be made to work together and I find min-maxing party builds in a lot of ways detracts from the fun of seeing and experimenting with the different combinations just to get different character interactions, or experimenting with different strategies (IE taking Buff Reisz leads to a different style of play than her debuff classes).
    I think a more interesting exercise would be to determine which set is best supported as the "canon" party.
    IMO, I think it's Duran as the Mana Knight and Angela as Companion 1:
    1) Duran appears to be the most prominent character in the marketing. He's splashed front and center on the game box and title screen, was used in the demo, featured heavily in the trailer, most strongly resembles the heroes of FFA and SoM, and of the six is the only one who actually USES a sword, making him best suited as the Sword's wielder (even if you don't get to use it in the game).
    2) Angela connects as his companion by default since they share a plot and main villain, with Angela having the most personal connection to the Crimson Wizard. In addition her kingdom is invading Duran's, which naturally places them together. There's also the implications that Angela is the Hero King's daughter (more on him in a moment).
    3) Duran and Angela undergo the most character development of the six. While all six characters do set their personal motivations aside for the greater good, Duran and Angela experience the most personal growth and the others are more static (Reisz, Hawkeye, Kevin, and Charlotte all demonstrate more compassion and selflessness from the start, whereas for Duran and Angela they begin the game much more self-centered and selfish, and only begin to demonstrate their nobler qualities as they progress). Duran and Angela's individual story paths are also much more closely intertwined than the other story path pairs, with them even sharing an ending if both are in the party, in which Angela hints at her attraction to Duran.
    4) Valsena, Duran's home, has the most plot significance of the six kingdoms. While the player must still save Laurent and their actions put Wendel at risk, these locations are only visited once by the plot. Additionally, the three aggressor kingdoms are only relevant to the player in their own branch. however Valsena is visited in all three branches, and it largely becomes the player's central base of operations in the search for the Mana Stones, being revisited many times to advance the plot.
    5) King Richard himself is one of the player's main sources of advice and exposition after Faerie. However I think it's especially significant that the King himself was once bonded to a faerie during the war against the Dragon Lord. The game goes out of its way to establish the significance of faeries appearing in the world, so the fact the King had been bonded during the last battle against the Dragon Lord adds further weight to the idea that he is indeed the game's "main" Big Bad.

    i had duran as my 2nd, which turns out having connecting stories to angela which is great, and hawkeye as my 3rd. both duran and hawkeye are melee dps with hawkeye also debuff enemies. i mainly play as angela and nuke enemies from a save distance while healing duran and hawkeye with items, which is quite effective for my first play through c:

      So these "unique abilities" you mention are not unique at all.

    Donnu about Duran, Angela ,and that healer girl, but Kevin is absolutely op in end game.
    All his CS moves are strong , and he has access to that insane -35% CS cost. Pair that with the cactus chain skill and you can literally just spam one CS3 (cost 200% only) to end every battle in 5 seconds without exception. (Kevin move 3 is a perfect big aoe that does insane dm to all enemies in an area)
    CS 2 can be used to target moving bosses during some mechanic phase (Like the super annoying ghost phase) since it literally pauses movement of boss while doing high damage.
    CS4 damage is absolutely insane against the secret boss too (It literally hit her like 4 times per hit due to her size, leading to some juicy OHKO with CS4 in last phase)
    His normal attack is insane too on top of having the highest crit rate in the game.
    Kevin is quite a bit lacking when he's only class 2 but becomes disgustingly op at CS3/CS4.
    The other 2 toons Reiz and Hawkeye can't even compare.
    Reiz ended up become my buffer and spell aoe distractor, while Hawkeye is just there... (negligible in most cases. He has stupid AI too)

    Angela's Doppelganger spell does NOT create clones that can attack on their own (not in gameplay anyways), the spell (in-game) is just her using an illusionary copy of herself as ranged weapon projectile! I was actually quite excited about the Grand Diviner class for Angela most especially because of your misleading information about the spell. However, since I checked another video, seeing what the spell actually does, I disappointed. Just thought you should know that you made an error here. You got the idea right in terms of how it would likely work in an anime of this or something, but sadly, that's not how it works in the game.

    • @EbonySeraphim
      @EbonySeraphim 4 года назад

      Hawntbawt I found Warrior Monk to be the worst of his classes. Tree Saber is actually underwhelming because it’s rarely the element you need (it’s only a buff against Moon element), and those who need it do little physical damage reaping little MP back. Prefer to use MP restore items as the old game is designed for it. It also turns Kevin into more of a full time healer, and now caster for that saber, who should he doing damage. Lastly, Warrior Monk was the only 3rd job of Kevin’s to lack a fullscreen tech (class strike) unless he used the one obtained frIm his second job - Whirlwind Kick. Class strikes seem different now so maybe this isn’t the case against Warrior anymore.
      If Tree Saber changes and now magic damage returns a percentage as MP letting casters unload without constraints, we have a new equation that makes me value it.

Duran and Kevin can both learn her heal spell, but it can't be multi targeted with them in the original(in the original you learn single target then pump more into the stat to learn multi target for most spells, though Duran and Kevin can't multi target). Duran can also learn saber spells which imbue your weapon with elements and there's one that gives you healing on attacks, Kevin might also learn these in one class can't remember. That said, you'll be waiting MUCH LONGER if you want these guys to be healers, as Carlie learns heal light in her base class. Her story is also pretty good I'd say so she's worth trying out. Honestly Kevin annoyed me more than Carlie. It seemed like he could talk properly in some areas and that he was just delaying his speech and speaking oddly on purpose. Either way all the characters imo are worth playing at least once. Also keep in mind your character's classes will be set from the get go if you want someone to be a healer that's not Carlie.
