Players can swap the time of day at any point (given they aren’t in a scripted encounter) by tapping the right trigger on their respective controller.

While all eight Travelers are playable in Octopath Traveler 2, you’ll need to start with one of them before you gather the others. The traveler you choose at the beginning of the game cannot be removed from the party, so make sure you go with one you want to use often.
