Octopath Traveler II

In Octopath Traveler II, Path Actions are further expanded such that each traveler has access to two: one that may only be used in the day, and another that may only be used at night.

Daytime path actions are the same as those found in Octopath Traveler while nighttime path actions are new to the series.
