re: Question about Octopath Traveler

I feel like they were trying to be ‘open world’ about it with a modern take on the old school JRPG combat system. The combat is honestly some of the best I’ve ever experienced in an RPG, but lord do the stories and characters just scream mediocrity.

I can’t say what the ‘point’ is so to speak, but if I am playing a turn based game, I expect the story to be one of its stronger points. Yeah, from time to time the gameplay can carry the game, but the needless grinding in Octopath kills the experience for me. I got into the late 30s in levels, so no clue how far I got, but honestly I probably won’t be revisiting it anytime soon.
