OCTOPATH TRAVELER™

I just couldn't get into this. The plot is recycled from dozens of other JRPGs, the characters just don't feel sympathetic, and the story's specifics are just plain uninspired. I have identical complaints about other Squeenix games so I call it the "Squeenix Curse." Because ever since they merged in '10, Squaresoft lost everything that made it the gold standard for JRPGs while Enix games always felt rather cookie-cutter and that hasn't changed a bit.

HD-2Dの先駆け 戦闘システムも良いが、なによりもHD-2Dが素晴らしい。 難易度もそこそこ高く、好き嫌いは分かれるかもしれないがレベリングが必要となるような難易度であり、個人的には好み。 全実績解除させる気がなさすぎるのがちょっと残念

The writing in Octopath Traveller is tedious and inane. It takes itself far too seriously for a game constructed from tired JRPG cliches. Combat is repetitive and random encounters make exploring feel grindy. The only good thing in this game is the music.

Extremely boring. I feel like I'm only watching lackluster conversations with no depth in it whatsoever. You need to get all 8 characters in the beginning and have to play all there storylines which is really tedious. While it certainly has good elements, it really bores me in general.

I was told this was a return to form for Square Enix, I don't agree. What you have here is a bad idea wearing the stylised skin of 16 bit games with a forgettable soundtrack that comes across as a game designed by committee rather than any actual creative process; in short it's soulless. Eight characters, eight stories, eight starter dungeons, eight starter bosses one bored player. So far there's no interaction between the characters and I think 10 hours playing he first 70 minutes of stock characters origin stories is more than enough. Seriously not worth it on sale for £20 definitely not worth it for £50.

Mega fun gameplay loop which especially comes alive when you get through everyone's act 1. My biggest grip is it can get VERY grindy and takes too much of a time sink. If your looking for a JRPG experience to sink into, this will keep you engaged easily for 40+ hours. Ive heard the other games in the series have less dedication to a grindy loop.
