Hello there! So it states in the cutscene that you have to complete the respective expert hunt for the four remaining regions to unlock the other veteran heroes. You have to complete the regular hunt at least once, the "Road to Expert Hunt" sidequest that comes after, and the following expert hunt at least once to unlock the the veteran hero in that location. So in the case of Cragspear, you have to first complete the Cliftlands region regular hunt, then complete the side story "Road to Expert Hunts: Cragspear Chapter", and then after that complete the Cliftlands region expert hunt to unlock the Powerful Pauper Veteran Hero in the slums. (It's a lot of hoops to jump through, I'll admit.) Let me know if you need a bit more explanation! I tend to struggle with explaining things...

@@TheOrsterraRecords Thank you so much!

Thinking smarter, not harder, right? (It would be interesting to see if they would implement a QoL to change how fast auto-replay goes.)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed it too... I suppose lowering the tint of the scene was meant to make it seem like it was set at night? Maybe...?

Hi there! I'm glad to provide this resource for you. RPGs do take up a lot of time, so I completely understand. :)

Hm, great question! As somebody who has played and loved both games, I would say that COTC is more of a "spin-off" that does share most of the backbone of the originals. The gameplay requires you to wear down the shields of the enemies, and you can use path actions to obtain items for your party. However, I would say it does feel quite different from a mainline Octopath entry. For starters, you have a party of 8 travelers instead of 4, and are only limited to three path actions. The story is also much more mature in subject matter (to degrees I have to give warnings on videos... xD), and more or less focuses on the journey and stories of one character (the Ringbearer Chosen) in comparison to the intertwining stories of eight travelers. As it is also a gacha game, you will be relaying on "guiding" (pulling) for characters, instead of having a set 8 to play from. I am a light spender for what I record, but I was able to do just fine with original (and still) free-to-play account. Overall, I would say it definitely is worth a try if you are interested in the series. :) After all, that's why I'm recording this game! If you are interested, I believe the anniversary is coming up somewhat soon so that might be a great time to join.

The plan is hopefully to get it to it, but I'm mostly focusing on content within the Master's storyline for now. (This includes Traveler stories, which are going to take a bit.) I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that the game continues at least a little bit longer so I can record them though!

@@TheOrsterraRecords I think the game is doing alright, so I doubt EoS is incoming, but square did shut down like 3 gachas recently. Either way, thanks for recording all of these.

No problem! These hunts are definitely a doozy to get through, so I'm glad I could help. :)

Thank you for the replay! I was taking a little break since I had a pretty chaotic week. :) Yes, I will be planning to upload that hunt today or tomorrow, so please look out for it. (I will let you know that I will probably not be able to complete the LV.90 hunt or EX fights since I'm still under leveled myself. xD)

@@TheOrsterraRecords ah i see, that's totally fine, don't worry about the lv 90 hunt or ex, my issue was that i just couldn't get to fight 9S on the second hunt but thanks, i will be looking foward to your next vid :D

Thank you for the comment! Trust me, I definitely know the feeling of not wanting to pick up another mobile game, so I am glad that this is a way for you to experience Octopath COTC!

@@TheOrsterraRecords the main readon is because this game is only the past of octopath traveler and i already know what will happen in the future line.

You're welcome! :) Hopefully I'll at least have enough time to record everything before that day comes. (Or at least get an offline version of the game. One can hope!)

Thank you! It was actually my intention to get Millard due to him being the closest thing to Stead. But since I started around the 1st Anniversary and with the advent of the Codex of Salvation, it probably didn't matter who I was going to get. Oh well!

experiencing the same thing in sea server

I believe it is blocked for now. For where I am at in the story, it is probably locked until another questline opens up. The interesting thing is that the Tower does state there are some treasure chests inside... but I am not sure yet. My apologies!

Thanks! Happy New Year to you as well!

So you're a masochist?

No problem! :)
