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

I'm not exactly looking for an overarching plot that's present in all storylines, but rather some ways they get intertwined.
For example, in SaGa Frontier 2, Gustave's story ended a bit abruptly and ambiguous, to the point where I wasn't sure if I would perhaps see him again later. But then in Will's storyline, "Gustave" does show up again. Except it's a fake Gustave.
The presence of this character in Will's story had a bigger impact on the story because we got to know Gustave through the previous story, and how he built up his reputation, rather than if the character's backstory had been explained in exposition.
It seems like the main characters of Octapath Traveler team up in the game? So I'm hoping that they affect each others story lines in interesting ways, even if they all have different goals.

They don't team up for a common goal they more so just cross paths and travel together lending their skills to the party to see out their on story, the open ended nature of the game made it difficult for SE to make the characters interact and affect each others stories as the amount of chapters and 8 stories for 8 characters would require a lot of combinations for every scene.
