#and ophilia is the sweetest
Text
Got excited for the travel banter and then got hit with the:
Olberic: “You pray for the lizardman?”
Ophelia: “Yes. To the townspeople, they are fearsome monsters….but they are just creatures for all that and I would hope that they rest in peace”
Olberic:“Just so”
..
Olberic: “Ophilia I have a favor to ask.”
Ophilia: “What is it?”
Olberic: “Would you also pray for me?”
Ophilia: “Why of course”

Alfyn, what's your LEAST favorite thing about each of the other travelers? I know you like them all, this isn't meant to be mean-spirited. But you're such a positive person that I'm curious about your answers! (*cough* and asking just about Tressa would be too suspicious *cough* *cough* he might think I was trying to gather data so as to find a way to get them to finally confess feelings for each other *cough* which would just be ridiculous *cough*) wow this cough is something, sorry about that
Alfyn: Well, if it ever comes to cause trouble for you again, you know where to find me.
Alfyn: And yeah, I get what you’re asking. Just things that may need a bit of a fix for them, I suppose.
Alfyn: For Ophilia, I hope she takes care of herself more. She’s always helping people left and right, but honestly I worry for her sometimes, since she seems kinda hard on herself.
Alfyn: I guess for both the professor and Therion, they need to lighten up a bit! For Therion, it’s kinda obvious, but the professor always seems serious about everything as well. I hope they can loosen up a bit around people, even if it’s just a bit.
Alfyn: Primrose.... hm. I hope she—and Sir Olberic too—can come to rely on us more; they ain’t needing to place their burden on just themselves; we’re here to help, after all! Oh, I guess this applies for Therion, too.
Alfyn: I think H’aanit might need to loosen up a bit too. I think she’s more fine talking to others and all, but I still don’t see her smile often. Hopefully we all get to see it more!
Alfyn: And I guess Tressa’s last. She’s already pretty sociable, kind, selfless, and independent, so...
Alfyn: *smiles* I think one thing’s that she’s very carefree... which ain’t a bad thing, but I hope she knows how lucky she is to still have a family to go back to, along with the many great memories she’s made on this journey with us.
#literally he's saying all this in the sweetest way possible#octopath traveler#alfyn greengrass#tressa colzione#ophilia clement#cyrus albright#olberic eisenberg#primrose azelhart#therion#h'aanit#alfyn x tressa#alftress#implied#ok imma end here it's late#will answer the rest tomorrow

Alfyn is the sweetest creature to walk Orsterra, all his companions love him, complete and total strangers from all walks of life love him, and at one point Ophilia says it’s like Alfyn was a gift from Aelfric himself, but all of his battle quotes straight up have him ready to throw the fuck down like he’s having a grand old time and he’s just so great -sobs-

Ophilia's hands trembled slightly with anxious energy. Despite this, she took his hands and she stood on her toes, struggling to reach his cheek but just barely managing to kiss his chin instead. "I... I want to spend my days with you too, Alfyn--" she blurted. "You're wonderful and you're kind and you make people laugh and feel safe and... I want you to remember it."
☀╎ ALFYN FELT THE HEAT rushing up the back of his neck and marveling as she lifted herself to kiss just askew of his lips. ( Could she hear the way his heart pounded away too? ) Absorbing her words with a spinning mind, he nodded.
“Golly, with the way you’re makin’ me blush, how could I forget it?” He said, smiling through the redness on his cheeks, “You’re the sweetest, Phili… I adore that about you.”

Octopath Travelogue, Tressa Chapter 4
Time for something light, I think! I mean, unless we’re going to have a very severe shocking swerve on the level of Nuklear Age, I could do with making sure smol babby happy merchant girl is taken care of.
I did notice the Shrine of the Warmaster outside Riverford, but again, considering I’ve been beating these recent final bosses by basically sneezing on them, I decided to avoid it for now and put people in normal jobs for this episode. Maybe then it’ll be a bit of a challenge.
So, let’s check out Grandport!
...man, Aston Wyndham is definitely the name of a stuffy stupidly rich venture capitalist. Bet HE’S the final boss, so Tressa can learn about the evils of capitalism! 😈 Nah, just kidding.
...yeah. Uh. If he’s willing to give away one billion leaves (1,000,000,000) as a prize, maybe he actually is one of those good-hearted capitalists! I mean, fuck, other than Bill Gates I sure as fuck can’t think of any billionaire who’s given up that kind of money. Musk. 😒
uhh Ophilia is that you? in a blue dress? (obviously not, but the similarity is uncanny.) ...hm. Name’s Noa...I’m willing to bet she’s the Wyndham daughter. Only the best for the poor girl whose legs are weak so she can’t see the world like she wants to, something like that. Heh, even Tress sees how similar they are.
These two are either gonna be BFFs...or she’s the final boss and it’s gonna be heartbreaking. 🙁
...or okay no it’s probably that mysterious black-clothed white-haired stalker.
Ophilia prays for Noa, because of course, the sweetest girl.
Huh, according to Cyrus, the Wyndhams are big art and scholarship patrons. That’s...actually good. Again, the kind of capitalists I wish we had in the real world.
ahahahahaha how cute, I thought H’aanit was uncomfortable at being in a big city surrounded by thousands of people. But no, she was just watching and enjoying Tressa being cute. :3 Ophilia and Olberic are team mom and dad in general, but everyone is Tressa’s surrogate parent.
All these names Tress is rattling off sound like nowhere I’ve ever been. I mean, I’m sure there’s a world outside Orsterra, it’s just the continent. But still.
Oh hi creepy stalker lady who’s probably the final boss.
...who just walked up and took the notebook from you without even confirming if it was okay with you.
Tress. Tress she’s gonna steal it. She gon’ steal it Tressa. Get H’aanit or someone to do Leghold Trap or something--GOD DAMMIT TRESSA WE COULD HAVE AVOIDED ALL THIS, BUT NOOOOO, YOU JUST HAD TO GET SUCKER PUNCHED
poor smol merchant babby 🙁
A Khafqa carpet, you say, Ali? How...Khafqaesque.
Starting the bidding at ten thousand? Ali, with clientele like this, I feel like you’re lowballing!
What kind of person would steal someone else’s notebook, Ali? What kind of person indeed...With the black robe, I feel like she’s an Obsidian member. Which...makes me think...the previous owner of the notebook was an Obsidian too.
...are the Obsidians...linked to Galdera, somehow? 😮
“Over there! Follow me, quick! We can’t lose her!” Tressa runs off...while Therion stays behind, side-eyes the gigantic crowd of NPCs, and starts a pickpocketing rampage. (literally ten minutes later: oh my god, so much stuff!)
INCLUDING THIS DOGGY ON THE BEACH WHO ALFYN SPECIFICALLY NOTES AS BEING A GOOD BOY BECAUSE ALL DOGS ARE GOOD. :3
Anyway. ...This guy looks creepy. ...is he the super-secret final boss? Or Tressa’s, at least? I’m sure we’re going to get this Esmerelda chick, but someone that big and ominous isn’t going to get away scot-free either...
Something about the eldrite feels different, eh? You don’t think it’s your secret greatest treasure that Leon mentioned, do you, Tress? Because it’s a material object -- it can’t be, that wouldn’t be dramatically satisfying enough. 😉
oh boy we’re gonna have to rescue Ali’s dumb ass again aren’t we, just from big creepy black-robe man this time
How do you know how old Ali is, Tressa? I mean, you’re like 18, aren’t you? He strikes me as older than you, how’s he too young for the alehouse? ...bahahaha. “Alfyn, if you ever have the urge to become a merchant...Don’t.” But SP Saver is so good, Tressa! 😉
Alright...sewer dungeon time. Yay. 😕 Tressa - Scholar, Primrose - Cleric, H’aanit - Thief, Alfyn - Warrior. We’ll see if this is still too overpowered for Esmerelda when we catch up with her.
Purple chest at the bottom of this fork on the first screen, because of course.
...wow, an armor named Robe of the Dragon Princess should really be statistically more impressive than that.
dammit alfyn do you need me to put an accuracy booster on you? there’s so much better stuff that can go in that slot but i will do it if i have to.
Alright, there she is...just hanging out...reading the book...like she’s not in a hurry like she said she was... 🤨 ...anyway. Let’s do this!
...lemme guess. Galdera wrote the book. Or something equally crazy. And that’s why it’s so important.
...what has Tressa done to you to warrant killing her, Esmerelda? Aside from carry this notebook that you just deemed as utterly useless to you! Sheesh, you crazy lady. Let’s...act in self-defense, I guess?
Nothing too spectacular so far, though the fact that she can seal off physical attacks by sticking a knife in Tressa and leaving it there is unnerving. I can’t figure out how to get rid of it, either. It doesn’t seem like a status effect Rehabilitate can fix.
...ah, breaking her fixes it. Of course. When all else fails, break ‘em.
YIKES SHE HAS A FULL-PARTY DOOM
...that breaking her removes, phew!
...yeah, I guess being in the normal jobs does make it harder. Especially against her broken-ass Five Strikes ability, which I wasn’t able to lift the weakened defenses on everybody to protect against. 😶
And that’s that -- nothing super-climactic, H’aanit just axed her in the face for 950 damage. Kind of a weird final boss, because she clearly wasn’t the big bad and any emotional investment she had with Tressa is still a mystery...but oh well!
“Hehe. I told you not to underestimate me.” That’s right, because not only is she a smol happy merchant...she can be a smol furious merchant too. 😀
There it is. Her precious special treasure. There ya go, girl.
...oh, wow, and Ali outsmarted the dude to the extent that he was able to turn him over to the cops! Good going, man!
...okay. Okay. Cool. She’s gonna enter the notebook...not because it’s monetarily precious, but because she thinks it’s something Noa, the focus of the whole competition, can treasure. Because as a merchant, she wants to give her customers something they can truly treasure. That’s...clever. I like that. Tressa is such a good girl.
Primrose’s advice to Tressa for getting up on stage: “Just imagine everyone else is a fish.” Ha! I like her logic. And it’s more family-friendly than imagining everyone naked.
Of course this audience of capitalists doesn’t get a word she’s saying. 🙄 I like it, though. It’s a good, heartwarming speech, it means a lot to her, and I can just imagine the rest of the party members watching with vast amounts of pride in their smol happy merchant daughter. Even Therion. He would never admit it, though.
...And Aston Wyndham likes it too! HAH. EAT IT, CAPITALISTS.
“What!? Are you a merchant or not? This is a fair trade, Tressa!” Are you sure about that, Ali? One billion leaves for a notebook, even the most emotionally important notebook in the world? 😛
Oh, so she’ll take it in lottery payments, basically. Or as a lump sum later when she’s in need? Or something? Whatever, I guess they needed an excuse to not dump one billion leaves on you just for completing plot...
...wait. Wait. WAIT. Is this the guy? The guy who wrote it in the first place? Ah, okay, no, just the guy who made it, the guy who wrote it was someone else named GRAHAM CROSSFORD?!?!? 😮😮😮 HOLY SHIT! TRESSA GIRL YOU NEED TO SHARE NOTES WITH ALFYN RIGHT THIS GODDAMN MINUTE.
Ali is totally the boy in class who teases the girl he has a crush on...
Ooh, nice touch to have the ending narration done by Noa writing new entries in the diary! ...Kinda strange considering she wasn’t an important character until literally this chapter. But still sweet! I like the connection Tressa made with her. I hope she has a good postgame sidequest or something.
And that’s good sweet smol happy baby merchant girl Tressa.
That was real nice. I needed that after how intense a bunch of the other stories got. Heh.
Just Cyrus left to go...and then whatever the hell’s waiting in the endgame that certainly won’t have anything to do with the Gate of Finis, Graham Crossford, and Galdera...

Oh here’s a fun one! If you all had to date one traveler of the same gender, who would it be and why?
Tressa: Ophilia! She’s absolutely the sweetest, and despite out differences we get along very, very well!
Cyrus: Hmm, whoever I choose would most likely know me the most personally, so I’ll go off personal bonding and choose Alfyn.
Primrose: *thinks a little* I’d choose H’aanit. We have similar opinions regarding a lot of different things, and we talk a lot about personal things.
Therion: ...Alfyn. He’s an okay person.
H’aanit: I shall chooseth Primrose for the same reason she gaveth, and that we seemeth very alike.
Olberic: I would choose Cyrus because while we have different interests and different strengths, we both love to discuss with each other a lot, and I get to share a lot of my past and upbringing to him.
Ophilia: If I were to date a traveler of the same gender, I would choose... H’aanit! She gives off a very caring aura, and I love having calm chats with her!
Alfyn: I’d actually pick Therion! Despite his backgrounds being very different from all of us and all, I really enjoy talking to him!

Octopath Travelogue, Alfyn Chapter 4
On today’s episode of “how can we break Alfyn’s heart and dreams even more than we already have.” Though, since it’s the finale, it’s just as likely he’ll find reason to believe in himself and his ideals and revalidate everything the last couple of episodes made him doubt. Let’s see!
“Gadzooks.” Oh, Alfie.
...uh oh. I’m...thinking Ogen may not actually be the villain. His hands were shaking...ahhhhh shit, he’s about to become a plague victim, isn’t he?
“Thanks, but no thanks. I always work alone.” “Aw, c’mon, man. I just got done with a friend of mine who kept telling me that same bullshit.”
I get the feeling Alfyn and Therion, both frequent partakers of booze, would make really good drinking buddies.
did you just try and flirt with the barmaid, Alfie? man, your game is weak. Just how I thought it’d be, sweet boi.
...yeah, Ogen’s a fair bit less villainous than I first made him out to be. He’s just a depressed old...well, middle-aged man.
...A depressed middle-aged man who has definitely caught the plague. Welp.
No rest for the wear--dude you just coughed up BLOOD. That’s 3000% the sign that you’ve come down with the deadly disease, you dimwit!
Yeah considering how well Ogen is holding up I think it was probably a good thing that Primrose did not approach him last night!
...I like how Alfyn is the nicest, sweetest boy and yet swears heavier than anyone else in the party.
Oh, so he knew about his Incurable Cough of Death. Alright, buddy, but we all know how this is gonna work out -- Alfyn’s gonna save your ungrateful ass and make you see that life is worth living again.
...He better, at least. No more heartbreak for Alfie, please.
Alfyn to Ophilia: “Have you ever thought of becoming an apothecary?” Uh, did you miss the part where Apothecary was the first job I got and I classed her into it immediately? 😉 It’s cute that Ophilia does things like draw baths for the others, though.
It is hilariously tone-deaf to have these people describing how much pain and agony they’re in from their sickness only to Alfyn pipe up with “Nice chattin’ with ya!” afterwards.
Oh. Damn. I still don’t appreciate how Melyssa was fridged solely for Ogen’s character, but...I’d be lying if I said his story isn’t effective. Yeesh. Because he feels the same way about himself that he does about the lives he deems not worth saving. Yeesh.
A letter from Zep--dude, how have you gone this long without seeing this?! It’s not like I haven’t had you reaching into your bag to concoct something nearly every boss I have you fight!
The answer, of course, is because “it’s dramatically appropriate,” and dammit, it still works. These wholesome boys love each other so much. :3
Oooh, wow. Therion’s having some real mixed feelings about Alfyn’s total trust in his best friend. On the other hand...I just finished dealing with your shit, Ther. You should be feeling better about Darius by now. 😉
Fuck yeah, Alfie! You go, punch a sick and dying guy in the chest to make him lie down! 😀
Is this Alfyn’s theme playing right now? It’s good.
...wow. The exact same plague that hit Alfyn when he was a kid? What’re the odds?
...is the dungeon in Alfyn’s mind or something? Am I gonna have to walk his brain pathways to recover the recipe for the elixir? 🤨
Okay, maybe not a whole dungeon. Just this little flashback. Cool!
“Ah, okay. This elixir was brewed from the feather of a monster who just so happens to nest right outside the town where you currently are!” We’re approaching a few too many contrived coincidences in this chapter, Octopath writers. 🙃
“Damned if I know how...” You and the rest of us, Alfie.
Before leaving town, I rejiggered my party, because Ophilia really is crazy overleveled compared to everyone else -- I swapped in Olberic/Hunter for her, classed Therion into Merchant, Primrose into Cleric, and Alfyn into Scholar. ...Honestly Alfyn’s kinda a terrible Scholar, but he already knows all the spells so I have that coverage, at least. I’m hoping I didn’t already miss Olberic’s banter, but knowing my luck I probably did. 😕
Prim’s Cleric lines are...kinda cool, gotta say. I mean, they’re the same as Ophilia’s, but she says them real good.
So I think healing may be tied to Elem. Def.? It would explain why Ophilia’s Heal Wounds heals like 1700 (unboosted!) while Primrose’s only does around 800. Let’s see how she does when I beef up her Elem. Def. a bit more...Hm, managed to get it up to 1100. So yeah, I think it’s Elem. Def. Good to know!
i hate these stupid-ass devil deer that always always always use the first turn to gather strength and have 5 damn break points.
Wow, and I thought the Grimsand Ruins were mazey...
...Alfyn has his Concoct ability. Which covers pretty much every elemental weakness. What am I doing putting him in Scholar?! GAH I’M SO STUPID 🙃
Alright, last save point...after like two hours of traipsing through this forest. Sheesh! Let’s see if this...Ogre Eagle, if I recall correctly, is as bad as they say it is...
...Well. Three turns in, and I’ve already had like five status effects inflicted on me. Yep...this’ll be a fun one...
Ahh, thank god for Concocting that mix that heals and prevents status ailments on the whole party.
Haha, with Surpassing Power Alfyn can just barely deal above 10,000 damage with Amputation. Olberic shows him up immediately afterwards (20,000 Brand’s Thunder), because of course.
I’m sorry what is this rainbow cloud doing? WHATEVER IT IS I DON’T LIKE IT. ...OH MY GOD IT’S LOWERING MY MAXIMUM HP. FUCK.
HOT DAMN! I didn’t realize I had so many high-damaging abilities. Between Alfyn’s Ampuation hitting for nearly 10,000, Therion paying out the ass for three Veteran Soldiers to come up and deal 3000 each, and a typical Olberic Abided Brand’s Thunder for 20,000, he...this Ogre Eagle is pretty dead.
Suck it.
...Wow, Ogen knew Alfyn’s hero, huh? Small world.
what is going on with this heartbeat the HD rumble is doing? WHATEVER IT IS I DON’T LIKE IT.
Graham Crossford, huh...Somehow I feel like he will be important in the mysterious endgame... Ogen says he’s dead, but...hmmm.
“Well, guess I’ll be off, then. After all, there’s still folks out there who need my help. Like...not just the sick, but...these other folks I got tied up with...”
And that’s Alfyn, I suppose.
...
I gotta admit, I’m not super-impressed by his final boss being a random big monster. But everything else in this chapter was really good, so...I can deal with it.
What a good sweet boy.
