OCTOPATH TRAVELER™

2/10 Your Excellency

굿

Moinsens! Knappe 30h im Spiel und ich bin wirklich fasziniert! Ich bin eigentlich einer der Leute, die immer gerne auf "NextGen Grafik-Jagd" ist - passt das Spiel da rein? Nein - ja und, das Gameplay ist toll und selbst mit der Pixelart sieht es klasse aus! Seit FinalFantasy 7 habe ich rundenbasierte Kämpfe vermisst - ich verstehe nicht ganz warum dieses Gameplay eigentlich so stark vernachlässigt wurde?! Es ergeben sich viel mehr Möglichkeiten einen Kampf zu gestalten, als bei real-Time Kämpfen... Naja ich schweife ab! Ich habe Octopath schon eine ganze Weile auf der Wishlist und selbst bei den Keysellern gab es die Spiele nur zu Vollpreisen - ich bin froh, beim Sommer-Game Fest endlich ein attraktives Angebot erhalten zu haben und griff direkt zu! Ich bereue es keinesfalls! Geniales Spiel!!!

This is one of the best RPG's I ever played. I love the art style especially. Now my favorite touch to this RPG is that it has this option in battle called "boost" You can use it in the battle and as far as i know you can build it up from 1-4. Attacking a enemy to one, two, three, four time. Its my favortie spin. I like this better then the special attack mechanics you can use in games like tales of symphohia or legend of hero's trails in the sky. In my opinon this is my favorite mechanic in a RPG. This is why i prefer those titles over most of the older final fantasy RPGs because i like those mechanics better. If your a world war 1 or world war 2 veteran in RPGs. Your going to be pretty alright fighting things. If your new, your going to have a lot of fun otherwise. Just try not to rage dying all the time, im kidding. I will update my review probably after playing more. I also did something i usually dont do. I picked a character i normally wouldnt play (the thief) and he can steal from npcs, its super cool. I haven't had this much fun in a rpg in a very long time! The animations in battle are sick too but im so addicted to this art style. This is so sick. You going to have lots of fun, buy the bundle well its on sale now, your going to have entertainment for a long time! Cheers!

Gameplay 7/10 story 8/10 atmosphere 10/10 I can only really recommend this game if you’re a big fan of the old school final fantasy games. I found myself in a weird state while playing of wanting to hurry up and finish the game so I could be done with it, but also I couldn’t help get side tracked with extra dungeons and random side content. The random encounter system of final fantasy wears me out pretty quick, and this was definitely no exception. Parts of the 8 stories were really well done, and other pats you could definitely tell they struggled to fit into their 4 chapter plan for each character. Finally there’s the art style and music, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it carries hard. It’s gorgeous. The game looks like a 16 bit pop-up book, and usually I don’t really care for the depth of field visuals, but it works so well in this game. If you do want to give the game a shot, I highly recommend starting with Cyrus. The game forces you to keep your starting character in your party of 4 (until their story is finished at least) and his kit was easily the most well-rounded and useful of the 8. I ended up keeping him in my party even after I was done with his story because the game got really annoying without him.

É um ótimo jogo, pra quem curte rpg de turno á moda antiga é um prato cheio, acertaram em cheio na nostalgia. O combate é interessante, é muito legal ficar tentando descobrir as fraquezas dos inimigos. Cada personagem é único e isso dá uma brilho único pra cada. Sistema de jobs também, uma maravilha. Único ponto negativo do jogo é o preço, mas em qualquer promoção é uma oferta impossível de recusar.

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.

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.
