Mine has just arrived! :3
Can't wait to open it up and get into it!

Edit: It sounds like a little bit of a shame that the stories don't converge and tangle more past a certain point, but it is a very original choice to make and I'm willing to give the dev team a huuuge benefit of the doubt on the story, since I haven't played it yet.

I like the look of the game, and the battle system especially seems like something I'd enjoy.
My only concern is how he described the different story paths, as if they're almost completely unrelated to each other. I guess I was hoping for the stories to get intertwined and that each one would expand on another in some ways.
But I'll probably check it out if I have the chance. Reminds me a bit of Bravely Default.

Octopath Traveller is about 8 individual stories, not 8 perspectives on one overarching plot. It reminds me a lot of SaGa Frontier.
