Many Octopath Traveler 2 players are wondering why they can’t switch between characters. If you are also one of those players, then this guide is made just for you. In this JRPG, you can choose between eight different characters and follow their storyline. Each of them has different reasons to travel around the world of Solistia, that is, eight different stories. But can you change characters in the middle of the game? In this guide, we will tell you how to change characters.
How to switch characters in Octopath Traveler 2
In order to change characters in Octopath Traveler 2, you must complete the first chapter of your main character. Then open the world map and find cities near other characters. If you are at the recommended level, then go to this city and talk to the character to recruit him. Then go to a tavern or inn in that city to change your character. Once you do this, you will be able to complete the first chapter of the recruited character.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t kick your original character out of your party until you’ve completed their story. Each character has four chapters, so if you don’t complete them all, you won’t be able to get rid of them. That’s why it’s so important to choose a character that suits your playstyle as your primary character. Here are all the characters in this game:
- Agnea Bristarni (dancer)
- Partitio Yellowil (merchant)
- Hikari Ku (warrior)
- Oswald W. Wenstein (scientist)
- Throne Anguis (Thief)
- Temenos Mistral (Churchman)
- Castti Florenz (pharmacists)
- Ochette (Hunter)
The combat system in this game is turn based. So each character has their own special attacks and talents. In addition, they also have path actions that determine how they will interact with the townspeople. At the beginning of the game, you can check this when choosing a character, so make sure you choose one that suits your play style.
That’s all from us on how to switch characters in Octopath Traveler 2.
