Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

Similar to the Octopath Traveler, the game plays as a traditional JRPG. The player moves between eight separate characters, each with their own purpose for traversing the game world. Once again, each character has their own "path action" - a particular means for the player to have the respective character interact with non-player characters in the game world, often with the goal of getting reward items or characters to fight in support of their cause. New to the sequel is there being distinct "daytime" and "nighttime" segments of gameplay, with path actions being different depending on the time of day. For example, the player can choose to make the character Hikari duel characters in the daytime, in hopes of learning new skills for battle, but at night, there is the separate option to instead spend in-game currency to bribe characters for information or items. The game retains the turn-based battle system of the first game as well, including the "break" and "boost" systems. Every enemy has a number of hidden "weakness" attributes related to being weak to particular weapons or elements. Once discovered, an indicator is shown onscreen, and if it is exploited enough times, a "break" occurs, temporarily weakening the enemy. Every turn, "boost points" are accumulated, which can be used for extra moves in future turns. New to the battle system are "Latent Powers", special abilities unique to a given character which recharge when taking damage or breaking the enemy. The game retains the six weapons from the first game, sword, spear, dagger, axe, bow, and staff. It also retains the six magical elements, fire, ice, lightning, wind, light, and darkness. Depending on the jobs each character has, it will allow them to use certain weapons and elements. Like the first game, there are 8 standard jobs, which once again are hunter, apothecary, thief, scholar, merchant, dancer, cleric, and warrior. All characters can have an additional job aside from their default one and can gain their skills, except for a few that are unique to the default character. Unlike the last game though, players can have a maximum of three characters aside from the default one on the same job. To get a character another job, players must find each of the guilds first. Aside from the eight standard ones, there are four unique jobs as well, Armsmaster, Arcanist, Conjurer, and Inventor, which offer more unique skills than the standard ones, and require the player to complete unique quests to unlock. Unlike the standard jobs, players can only assign a special job to just one character. When the player starts the game, they will have to choose one of the eight characters to start their journey. The chosen character will then become the protagonist of the story. Said character cannot be removed from the active party until their story is completed. The character will also take the lead role in events that do not specify a certain character. Unlike the first game, all eight characters will play through their first chapter entirely on their own, and may be joined by the others on the following chapters. However, except for the protagonist, players can choose to skip the first chapter of the other seven travelers.
