You can swap frontline/backline any time you want to preform the 2 characters' attacks. Those in the backline regen SP/HP quite significantly, and BP as normal. There's a new mechanic where you have a frontline and a backline, and 4 spots totaling 8 playable characters. That said, before every boss there's typically a 'full refill' shrine thingy. WARNING: YOU DO NOT HAVE PLUMS OR GRAPES. Because of that it takes a lot of brainpower if you intend to fight multiple enemies. The BP/SP/HP system is exactly the same, but you have to 'premove' your actions before 'submitting' them each round. Very fun and a very different taste from octopath. Many character skills are new from Octopath, and if you're completely foreign to the language you kinda have to test every skill. I, fortunately, am a fluent speaker of chinese, so I can decipher some of the skills/description, but if you don't have any experience in either, there isn't much to do. Hope you can read japanese or have amazing game sense, because everything is in japanese. Enjoy the gameplay! Once you use the VPN once for initializing the game, for some reason COTC stops checking it and you can delete the VPN if you want.This is necessary because COTC only allows people to log in through Japan servers, and this bypasses it. Open 'VPN cat master - express proxy', and change region to Japan.I swear on my 21k karma that I am not a scammer.

This is not an attempt to get you to download malware, you only need to use the VPN once and you can delete it. This should be visible if you're still in the Japan account setting. Download 'VPN cat master - express proxy'.You should now be able to see COTC, albeit in full japanese. Enter all the necessary information and enter a random Japan address (don't worry, we'll change it right back to your original settings as soon as we finish downloading COTC.).Click on the tab that says 'Country/Region', then click 'Change Country or Region' once you're inside the tab.Once you're in your 'Account' tab by clicking on your profile pic, click on your name (The first tab in the 'Account' tab.) After you enter your password/finger print, you should be in 'Account Settings'.On the top right corner you should see your Profile Pic. The art, combat, and music is very similar to Octopath, and has my seal of approval as 'more than just a gacha game.'Īnyway here's how you download AND play COTC. COTC (Champions of the Continent) is a 'prequel' game to Octopath.
