The synergy part is so huge. PF2 is very strongly based around making your party as awesome as possible instead of just making your character individually powerful, which I think trips up a lot of people coming from other systems or video games.

It definitely trips up people who usually just look at RPGBot to build their characters out from levels 1 - 20 before the first session. That's how I made my build choices, and it was a pretty significant stumbling block for me when I made the switch.

The blue options aren't always the best options, because the best options depend on what everyone else is doing.

OMG yes. I was trying to figure out how to say that but couldn't put it into words, but you perfectly put together what I was thinking.
