Octopath is its own beast, aside from similar but not quite the same combat.
The game goes for a much more serious and retro feel, where as Bravely was retrospect but with steps to innovation including the misaligned cycle system at the back half. Honestly despite people keep bringing up FF6, I would say that the game is closer to a DQ style story of short arcs but with no connecting big story arc to bridge it all. It is a good game but I do think one review put it best this is a side game and it will wear on you if you are going full bore at it because of everything being similar.
