OCTOPATH TRAVELER™

游戏性没问题，甚至可以说不赖。主要问题出在主线剧情，哪怕以jrpg的标准来说都过于无聊和儿戏了，尤其第一章，无聊程度让我数次弃坑，只有最后的最后所有故事连起来的时候才勉强算得上有意思。与之相比，支线剧情和npc的背景设定虽然特别简单，却因为本就期望不高，反而显得比主线剧情更出彩，给这个世界增添了一份鲜活感，尤其是《在那之后》系列，后日谈和日式包寿司正确运用的典范。

It's obvious that the graphics caught our attention, and the game really delivers in this aspect. The environments, combat animations, and boss designs are incredibly eye catching. The soundtrack is pretty good too as they fit perfectly into both the emotional scenes and the combat sequences. I also really loved the concept of secondary jobs, which allow you to experiment with different builds for each character. It gets even more fun once you unlock the four endgame classes. Now, coming to the weakest point of the game, the story. Each character has four chapters, and I can confidently say that for most characters, the first three chapters are super boring. There were times I wanted to skip them, but I didn't out of fear that I would miss important details. What makes it worse is that the stories don't seem to have correlation with another. At least until you reach Chapter 4, where you finally start to connect the dots between them all. Still, it is really hard to stay invested during the first three parts of each character's journey. Overall, it is a fun game, just don't expect the first 50 hours of the gameplay to have a compelling enough story to keep you hooked.

Very Very fun, and such a great story!

Grew up on Square in the SNES era, but just couldn't get into this game. Story felt flat and the side quests dragged.

very shallow game. i can see why people don't like this game. pros: - art and vibes look pretty nice. - jobs/skills/abilities have some interesting design and thought around them - has the bones for a good game. cons: - character stories uninteresting and don't overlap with other characters. - voice acting is rough. - exploration/map rewards are meaningless. as are most npc interactions even when using character abilities or talents. - combat seemed like it could be good but the game auto-scales the same enemies with how many characters you have + story checkpoints. very lazy and shallow. that enemy you killed with 1 shield now has 7 shields and way more health. exp rewards are a bit low too unless you are killing the cheese exp enemies. - feels completely hollow and boring because you're copying and pasting the same pattern/story-arc and multiplying it by the amount of characters in the game. - level/scaling is a mess but still a very easy game overall.

白天偷晚上抢八方旅人 画面夯音乐棒像素的神

打过隐藏boss之后，我决定将之前给出的大大差评改成好评。 评价上的转变并非最终真结局带来了什么剧情上的惊天反转（尽管它确实在这方面有所努力），而是我终于意识到八方旅人所提供的东西和我原本期待的东西之间其实存在本质偏差，尽管我并没有得到我最初想要的东西，但他所提供的某些独特的可玩性，确实也值得我品味一番。八方旅人最初设计出八个角色也许确实是想要构建出一种盘根错节藕断丝连层层推进的剧情，但显然编剧并没有这种能力，过于分散、流水帐、俗套的剧情完全撑不起这种特殊的游戏框架，而游戏系统中要么冗余、要么缺失、要么左右互搏的设计更是比比皆是，所以当我打到第四章的时候，很容易得出这游戏真垃圾的结论... ...吗？ 很感谢制作全成就攻略和孤独旅行者攻略的各路神仙，没有他们我绝不可能完美通关整个游戏。在我打完全部八段故事（其实压抑甚至有点病态的舞娘线我还挺喜欢的），枯燥地完成一个个支线任务（其实有些支线故事的编排还算可圈可点）的时候，净化之森的大狼就这么出现了。被它秒天秒地秒空气两口咬死之后，我才真正意识到，这游戏才刚刚开始，原来真正的羁绊并非存在于剧情层面，而是存在于角色自身的主职业和副职业，角色之间的搭配，辅助技能的选择里。最终boss不可保存的十连战，更是时刻提醒我需要在战前进行认真规划，战时仔细考虑出招、攻击顺序、是否破防，以避免“大侠从头再来”的悲剧。而一次精妙的安排，不但能大大提高战斗的爽感，甚至能实现以超低等级打败最终boss的神仙操作。哦，原来这是一款战斗向的游戏。 总之，八方旅人也许并非一款杰作。但，就，还蛮好玩的。

Awesome game!
