Game Theory: You Have NO Choice! (Octopath Traveler CotC)

Special thanks to Google Play for sponsoring this episode!

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!

Damn, I've never heard of this game so I'm just here nodding like:

"Ah, yes Herminia and Auguste, my buddies. I think I saw them at the local barbecue last week."

[s_lizz_e]

“What ever your heart desires”
Matpat: “Can it solve FNAF’s timeline?”

[durandol]

I'd like Matpat to do a theory or two on some older games. Imagine him dealing with the brain twisting madness that is the Marathon series.

[bumblebeegamerreal]

Can't wait for the rings to become a secret or true final boss, where the rings merge to become a beast and all of the characters team up to destroy the rings

[jstar]

Octopath had a really interesting story, really. The final boss was stupidly difficult, but it was nice that it required you to actually use every aspect of the super in-depth combat

[teowaage]

I love that with all of MatPat’s videos, even if it’s sponsored, he seems genuinely passionate about the game

[Aer_]

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.

This was a very interesting Theory as a fan of the series my only question is does this game have a secret final boss that is ridiculously overpowered and requires precise strategies unlike the rest of the game

[Stevejake]

I'm glad Octopath Traveler is finally getting the recognition it should have

[yoshipudding]

wealth, fame, and power. MatPat king of theorists obtained this, and with everything else the web had to offer

[jameswest]

As someone who played the original Octopath Traveler: Yes, MatPat, the 13th god WAS indeed that bad (not to mention a secret boss you need a strategy guide to beat)

Seriously, tho, please look at the original game.

[AmongUsStopMotion]

I was waiting for one of your videos, I really love watching them. They are the best, keep it up!!!

[HatakeMegumi]

Can we actually have a theory on the original Octopath? Between all the grinding and the different stories, it was hard to put everything together and it was a fantastic game.

[jackjones]

It would be pretty interesting to see a theroy on Gahldera (13th god), as he has a major role in the postgame of the original octopus that and works as the plot device that pulls the right character paths together.

[Crispyinthecutt]

Honestly this could be an anime if someone creative got their hands on this game and watched the theories to make it have a twist like you’re summoned then turns out theyre evil idk

[richardbednarski]

If you play original Octopath Traveler, you will learn later that "Galdera", the 13th God are the evil one.
It has massive spoilers, since the original one story also tied to this prequel game.
And some characters appeared or mentioned at original are appeared at CoTC.

15:09 Game Theory Theory: MatPat has the Divine Ring of FNAF and it forces him to keep reading the books and making more videos on the series

[thefastestlink]

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.

[Theycallmetomu]

Meta stuff is really big in the team that makes Octopath. Like I said: look into the Bravely Default series. I 100% believe in the "The ring is controlling your choices" theory just because it is very very on brand.

[sarahwolfate]

mat pat should make a theory about the lore of splatoon. especially since the 3rd game comes out soon
