    What if a ring could grant you your deepest desires... at the cost of your own freewill? I think that is what may be happening to our character in the new mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. While the story is still ongoing, I think we can figure out what awaits us on our hero's journey and how this whole thing may just be a trick... Let's go!

      I literally found this out a just two weeks ago when i listened to the OST and found Daughter of the Dark God and was like "i dont remember hearing this track". So i looked it up and found that a final boss existed after finishing all 8 stories. It is unbelievebly hard anf you have to be lucky in how the boss attacks in both phases. Its also interesting that Simion, Primroses final boss, has a connection to the ring of Fame in CotC.

      I love how I have to strategies my characters.
      I have Cyrus as my Arch Mage/Sorcerer
      Ophelia Healer/Starseer
      Primrose Dancer/Healer
      Therion Theif/Runemaster
      By having two healers, which I either make Primrose or Tressa, I can tank more hits. And Cyrus is my main guy besides Ophilia that has the most SP to do attacks. Ophelia is my support, and Cyrus can pack quiet the punch as Arch Mage with his special power that targets one guy.
      Therion is both support and attack, it works great.

    Definitely a super interesting theory. The only key point that I think was missed is the ritual to purify the rings; meaning the reason that the rings made Tytos, Herminia, and Auguste go berserk is because the rings are corrupted, or rather become corrupted. The ritual to purify them is successful…but then we see what happened to Pathos and Apathia (the Ring Maidens)…
    The more interesting thing to perhaps look into is the Tower of Remembrance. If you defeat all of the elite enemies in a particular region, you’ll unlock a boss within that particular “bonfire” inside the tower. If you defeat that extra boss, you unlock some lore about HOW Auguste, Herminia, and Tytos came across the rings…
    …they were given to them by a shadowed figure. Sound a bit familiar? A “shadowed figure” also gave our character their ring.
    Maybe they’re the same person. Just my thoughts.

      ...................................................................................................................
      ...................................................................
      ................................................................
      ....................................
      You nailed it on the head. Although Simeon did give Auguste his ring, the shadowy figure who gave you the ring actually gave all eight rings to human's. He's actually Finis the father of the gods and he turned eight of them into rings to resurrect his wife Orsa, the only problem is the eight gods he turned into rings were the ones protecting the world so Finis felt conflicted because he also noticed that Humanity wasn't exactly that great. So he bestowed the rings unto them as a way for them to decide for him whether they deserve protection or he should let them rot and revive Orsa. If you played Octopath Traveler that's why only Winnihild, Balogar, Steorra and Dreisang are physically present in the game. Aelfric and the rest of the gods who represent the 8 basic classes are the rings.

      The original game does. This game being a newly released mobile game with a slow rollout of content, not really yet. There’s still super bosses, but nothing BS. But I hear in the Japanese game (which has been out for over two years now) there are plenty of BS difficulty bosses requiring precise strats (and sometimes specific Gatcha characters)

    6:11 they did lead the town and survive. you said it yourself, a year passed between master of wealth and bestower of wealth. they weren't exactly defenseless without our help, either. in the battle that ensues at the start of the bestower of wealth prologue, there are eleven enemies shown in the cutscene, and all but one of them are dead in the next. you only take out three in the battle. i'm sure they handled themselves pretty well over that year.

    Just because a god of absolute justice established a world order of domination and submission, doesn't mean the one they found so abhorrent as to lock away forever isn't an evil chaos god out to destroy all existence.
    The enemy of one extreme is likely another and should not be your friend, MatPat.

    I've been wondering... if all of the ringbearers can transform into a monster with the power of their respective rings... does the main traveller character also has that ability?... as MatPat said, how are we different? The only thing we notice is that all rings except ours glows red instead of blue...

    • @bi_luna_games
      @bi_luna_games Před rokem +11

      Spoilers but they have to activate their ring in order to do so. It's something they have to chose to do. Matpat left that part out. Main character chooses not to do it, hence we ARE different. It's not our abilities, it's our choices. Really feels like he didn't actually read the story imo.

    I didn't really play that game since it's a mobile game, but I did play the first Octopath Traveler game which is the sequel of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. As far as I know, the first Octopath Traveler game has Ophelia the Cleric, Cyrus the Scholar, Tressa the Merchant, Olberic the Knight, Primrose the Dancer, Alfyn the Apothecary, Therion the Thief, and H'aanit the Hunter. In Octopath Traveler 2, you get Ochette the Hunter, Castti the Apothecary, Throne the Thief, Osvald the Scholar, Partitio the Merchant, Temenos the Cleric, and Hikari the Warrior. In Octopath 2, they replaced the Knight job with the Warrior job but they both function the same way.

    @calinstanciu9385 Před rokem +2

    A detail that needs to be pointed out.
    The rings the three big bads owned were given to them by the bigger bad, Galdera's daughter Lyblac. The game makes it clear she gave the rings to them for the express purpose of corrupting them. The theory teased at the end wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact Lyblac is undeniably evil, something Werner, the destroyer of Hornburg, the town where the Gate of Finis, behind which Galdera was sealed, makes it clear in his diary. Quote:
    "She was beautiful-there can be no doubt of that. But did I desire her, even for a moment? No. For within that attractive trapping was evil-pure evil, intent on bringing humanity to ruin. If a man dared touch any part of it, his own flesh would rot and fall away. She was a lethal poison. She was a witch. And so I cut myself off from her entirely and did not look back."
    End quote. So there you have it: if a villain claims that the big bad is the big bad, then the big bad is the big bad. And yes, I am aware that the diary said that Lyblac had Olberic, one of the eight protagonists of the forest game and the last Knight of Hornburg to bring him down, but that doesn't make sense because for eight years Olberic thought Werner's scapegoat Erhardt was the destroyer of Hornburg, which, again, was part of Lyblac's plan. What's more likely is that Aelfric was the one who had Olberic strike down Werner by having him meet the other seven main protagonists of the first game, including, won't you know it, a member of the Order of the Sacred Flame. This hints to me that, while Hornburg's fall was masterminded by Lyblac, Werner's fall was masterminded by Aelfric. And if that's not enough proof, keep in mind how Lyblac also tried to corrupt Kit and Lianna, the former a descendant of a champion of Aelfric's, the latter another member of the Order of the Sacred Flame, and succeeded with Mattias, the big bad of Ophilia's story, Ophilia being the Order of the Sacred Flame member Olberic met. And Mattias himself was implied to be yet another member of the Order once, until a cataclysm happened, cataclysm for which Mattias blamed Aelfric. It's exactly the "The Hero Is The Villain" theory that Lyblac used to corrupt Mattias, Lianna and Kit, and Werner knew it.
    What Aelfric strikes me more as from this theory is a Knight Templar. He knows there's a darkness in this world, and he's willing to do anything to ensure said darkness won't end up releasing Galdera. That's why he established the Order of the Sacred Flame and gave it complete control over the society. That's why he had the order give his ring to the chosen one. That's why he chose Ophilia as the Flamebearer instead of Lianna. He knew Lianna was emotionally unstable due to her father dying and that Ophilia would go to the length of trying to do the kindling, a journey a member of the Order does once every 20 years, in Lianna's place. He knew Mattias, who betrayed Aelfric, was the reason Lianna's father was dying. What he didn't know was that Mattias killed Lianna's father specifically to make Lianna emotionally unstable so Lyblac could corrupt her. Now, Lyblac failed to corrupt Lianna, since Ophilia made Lianna snap out of it and killed Mattias, but if Aelfric didn't set up Ophilia as the Flamebearer, Lianna likely wouldn't have snapped out of it and turned out like Mattias.
    So there you have it; the reason why you should always take the "The Hero Is The Villain" theory with a grain of salt. Chances are, whoever came up with that theory is an antichrist up to unleash a God of evil on the world.
    But hey! That's just a theory! A Game Theory! Thanks for reading!

    I've just thought about the idea of Game Theory doing a video on Hunt: Showdown. Maybe looking into the Corruption and the Sculptor and seeing if any of the legendary hunters are being used by the Sculptor like the Night Seer and his cult or the Sinners cult, or even something to do with the AHA or any of the boss monsters, the gunplay, some of the consumables like hive bomb or concertina bombs, etc. They could even look into the event Serpent's Moon that's going on right now.

    ... our ring looks bigger more powerful and reminds me of... something...
    "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them"... not to mention 3 warring factions, seeking power to put them on level or at better odds than the other. Rings that granted wealth, power, and longevity given to each ruler among the 3 factions, given to the leaders, of which... would they not be the most famous of their species? So yeah I'd buy your theory, Octopath Traveler we're basically Sauron from the Hobbit and LOTR books/movies.
    Edit:... I made this 1/2 way through the video, that the ring is pushing you along controlling your will... yep this is basically Lord of the Rings/Hobbit.

    To put some thing out there. The rings are meant to give god-like qualities, but it’s also mentioned later in the game that the evil in the rings was from the 3 masters who wore them, effectively tainting them. Hence why when they are purified we get the boss battle. Even so there have been many subtle hints about galdera playing a large role in the villains. When revealing their true form they take similar appearances to those that have been corrupted by galdera such as red eye and such. As such it’s more like galdera is corrupting the individuals and then the individuals are tainting the rings.
