Octopath Traveler
| I like it it's good. Dunno why it has a reputation as a grindy game, I haven't grinded at all and I'm like 50 hours in already.
There also seems to be this weird attack on it by games journalism, like they just complain about relentlessly for some reason? Even though it's widely accepted as a great game? I dunno what they have about this one game did it kill their mothers?
But anyways, having a blast so far.
| >>377666 I feel like the reception is mixed if anything. A lot of people expected it to be like Odin's Sphere in rpg form, but it's not. The characters stories don't intertwine and people are so disappointed that it doesn't matter to them whether the actual individual character stories are good or not.
Also, dungeon design isn't too great (but really when has dungeon design ever been the strength of a jrpg).
| I hear the story itself is kinda bland. So, bland story + bland dungeons + decent turn based combat = meh?
| >>378840 I think the combat is actually the highlight of the game. Turn based combat is always fun when turn order can be manipulated.
| >>378971 I hear you my man! I enjoy some well done turn based combat too, but if that's all the game has going for it, why would I play it over something like Trails in the Sky, which has fun turn based combat and a fantastic story with loveable characters?

Okay, buddy, reason with me for a sec. Of all the great thing that game has (and it has a LOT of great things), fun combat it does not.
| It seems fun. I'll probably buy it sometime this year. Tried the demo, and absolutely loved it.
| Project cocktopath traveler is the best game of Gay Wrath Month.
Also: Ophelia is totally a lesbian. Just read her sketches with the archer girl and primrose.
