Did they not add a single new job in the entire game?

[Paro]

Is it true that there are the EXACT same jobs as the first game? Not even any new additional secret ones?

[Izzy]

Inventor is new.

[la_nague]

the names are the same, thats about it?

[JonWoo]

I've found one completely new job so far. And even then, the old jobs aren't EXACTLY the same.

[sumdumgoy]

it was years ago when I played part 1 but the 4 new "secret" Jobs are very different and the basic jobs are different in most ways other than name.

[Paro]

I fell in love with Octopath traveler 1. And so far for some reason I'm not feeling this one.

But very, very recently (as in these past 2 months) I started playing a series called "Trails." I've already beaten the first four games in the series. And I think it might've broken me. Meaning the games were so good and so perfect for what I want in a JRPG that it might have ruined every other JRPG for me lol.

Like I'm running around the town realizing that not every NPC has something to say, and it's only now I realize just how much effort and work must go into those games to give literally EVERYONE something unique to say that is contextual to whatever is happening in the story.

Ahh yes a tale as old as time. For me it will always be The Legend Of Legia (the first on part 2 was ok but the first was the best). The still to this day greatest JRPG ever made.

I'm sure this game will grow on me. I just need to treat it as its own thing and not compare it to trails.

Legend of Legaia the best JRPG?! I vaguely remember that game. There is like evil mist or something? I seem to remember bright green weapons and an earring. And a girl that reminded me of the annoying chick from Chrono Cross. Think I played probably 10ish hours of it.

this. basic jobs have different skillsets and the secret jobs are entirely different aside from a very small selection of skills that i assume were deemed too powerful.

[BACKSTABUUU]

No, there are new hidden jobs and all of the old jobs have been changed. The old jobs have all had skills changed, removed, or added, and each character gets special skills for their original job that only they have access to.

Scholar for example no longer gets access to multihit spells straight up, they now have a buff called Advanced Magic which turns your single hit spells into multihit spells a certain number of times. That has some pretty big implications for how you build your spellcasters since in Octopath 1, Scholar kind of sucked as Sorcerer made all of Scholar's spells obsolete. Now it seems like Scholar is a vital job for spellcasters.

[MegasonicZX]

Lot of people seem to be getting hung up on this despite all the jobs having a lot of good changes and adjustments to them. Like the warrior in this game compared to the first is almost an entirely different class moveset wise.

And they're all wrong unless it's Chrono Trigger.
