The Ultimate Child Support Dodger

The Ultimate Milk Buyer

Maybe I haven't read through enough side stories, but it feels like a lot of the parent characters I've seen in my experience with the game so far are just deadbeats or aren't good at their job. There are definitely more examples than the two I list here (ex. Tah'luk) but these two popped up into my mind first:

Baha:

• tries to eat his youngest son
• steals someone's wife when prevented from doing so
• lets 6 of his other children harass the son he tried to eat
• does not provide emotional support to another of his children while they do their job
• uses the woman he stole as a negotiation tool to try eating his youngest son AGAIN
• calls his youngest son selfish for not trying to act as the ideal god

Gallanth:

• tries to fight literal God with his wife and two children unguarded on ship
• leaves to go buy milk but with extra steps
• while doing so, leaves his child in the care of a child not even 5 years older than him
• decides to send creepy blind man 500 miles back to his house to deliver a letter to his child
• pummels his own child for trying to figure out what happened to mom
• loses to blind man less powerful than the god his children were fighting

Hello everyone, decided to make a little daily discussion post heavily inspired by a Fire Emblem community discussion format "Rate the Unit" from SerenesForest. Here you can discuss an Octopath 0 traveler's viability.

Today's traveler of discussion is Sazantos, the Bestower of All! List your thoughts in the comments below!

-Rules

• Ratings should be based on the traveler's performance as a party member and their availability.
• Provide a score out of 10 (ex. 5.5/10) with your comment.
• Ranking assumes no grinding and no stat nut spam. (Grinding = going out of your way to farm encounters looking for Caits rather than naturally running thru a dungeon/field. Nut spam disregarded to avoid the Fire Emblem equivalent: "this unit is amazing after arena abuse and stat booster spam!")
• Do not use very simple explanations like "this traveler is just worse X". Comparing to other party members is fine, but I will not tally any ratings that are very barebones in reasoning.
• Will consider any replies written within a 24 period of the discussion post going live. In this case, replies will be considered until 5 PM PDT tomorrow.
