re: Question about Octopath Traveler

I like this game, in principle, but the story has failed to grab me. Probably because the plotlines do not intertwine and I haven’t really noticed much of an overarching narrative. It gets tiresome playing chapter after chapter that seem to follow similar story beats.

I put it down months ago and I haven’t really come back to it.

The combat and class systems are quite fun. I just wish there was more of a narrative hook.
