Movement optimization guide for Ophilia Single Story Thief Shrine route.
Kinda scuffed but I hope it gets the point across. Might redo in the future if this seems useful.

This guide is meant to help Octopath speedrunners, mainly new ones, optimize their movement in certain parts of Ophilia Single Story speedruns.
I ended up including some general menuing tips as well.

If you want a more general tutorial on the Ophilia Thief Shrine route you can check out Sanjan's guide:
