- Why H'aanit?
- Each character is a different category (see https://www.speedrun.com/octopath#Single_Story). H'aanit is my favourite and I chose her on my first playthrough, so I'm starting out with this game doing runs with her.
- Why do you get other characters if you just need to complete H'aanit's story?
- The bosses later on would be very hard without the other characters and would require having to grind exp, making it slower not to get them.
- How are you not getting encounters?
- The way encounters work is when you enter a new area / reload a save / enter a fight (eg provoking), the number of steps to the next encounter is reset. With the evasive manoeuvre support skill the number of steps is high enough to get through a lot of areas without any encounters (or a low chance of one). So we want this skill as soon as possible. To unlock it you need to unlock 2 scholar skills which cost 130 JP. There are two ways of getting the required JP: killing an encounter in Whistlewood forest or killing a cait. Caits are very rare (we think about 3%) and you can't always kill them since they flee a lot. However, caits save a lot of time over the whistlewood method and since I got one in my PB, to beat it I will be trying to get one. This will mean there are a lot of resets in the first 10 minutes of the run.
