From what I keep hearing I can only feel like Seiken Densetsu 3 already did 23 years ago what Octopath Traveler is trying to do, and did it better as well.
yep. It's like someone's little brothersister heard about ff II/III from their older sibling and grew up and made a game about that conversation where half the shit you'd expect to be there in the genre rep isn't because it wasn't mentioned. Also fucking bizarre mish mash mechanical and graphic choices, like this started as a mobile game and then suddenly got a budget but they didn't go back and update anything they already had done.
I overall enjoyed my time with the game, but it definitely isnt perfect. It bothers me how hard the character stories are used as the selling point, but then it ultiamtely ends up feeling half assed because they never fucking talk to eachother outside of the support convos. It actually makes each individual story hard to take whenever the MC gets doublecrossed you just start to wonder where the other 3 are.
