Opening
Remember how everyone complained that there wasn't enough character interaction in the first game? Travel banter was all we had to see those characters talk to each other. Now we have some other ways to see the travelers talk to each other, but travel banter is still around! You have to have the right character in the party at the right time during a chapter to see travel banter. The good news is that Octopath 2 has made it easier to see them all!
This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on who to have in your party when so you can see all the travel banter. As soon as you see a banter for one character on the list, you should switch to the next character before the next event takes place. Hope you enjoy!
