OCTOPATH TRAVELER™

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.

그래픽과 브금 보고 하는 게임. 기존에 전사, 마법사, 힐러 개념에서 일반 직업 = 약사, 소매치기, 상인, 학자, 신관 이런 개념으로 접근한 RPG 라서 특이했지만 반복 되는 전투가 너무 평이해서 게임 볼륨에 비해 자칫 지루해질 수 있음 아닌가? 내가 나이 먹어서 그런가? 그래픽은 독특했음. 카메라 앵글 보는 기분. 브금도 들을만 했음. JRPG 추억이 있는 게이머라면 뽕맛을 느낄 수 있음. 스토리는 글쎄. 내가 나이 먹어서 그런가? 너무 뻔하고 유치한 내용이라서 지루했음 결론적으로 한 10대~20대 게이머는 충분히 즐길만한 게임 반면 30대~4, 50대는 기존에 해 봤던 게임(파랜드 택틱스 기타등등) 반복하는 경험이 없잖아 있어서 지루한 감이 없잖아 있음. 그래도 왜 이 게임이 잘 팔렸는지는 납득감

Awesome music 9/10, good battle system and isn't too slow, enemy sprites are awesome, build customization for your characters so there isn't really any character that you cant make work, a bit grindy but there are ways around it and playing normally through all the characters stories you dont feel the grind that often, and if you wanna brute force content you can to an extent by rolling for better item's than you'd normally have access to with a character's ability. Story is pretty baseline for most of the characters but for having 8 protagonists it's not bad. Solid 8/8

舞娘的曲就是神

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

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.
