To those who say Octopath is not worth 60 dollars...

I heard many people complain over the short the campaign of Mario Odyssey which in turn made them question if it was worth the 80$ 

And seriously ?! A high-end stylised JRPG called low-fidelity game ? On the basis of what ?  Don't mask your opinion on the basis of critism.

I don't recall anyone complaining about Odyssey's price. But even if this is true, then you have also provided a valid reason as to why some people would complain, and therefore have a self-defeating argument.

Secondly, high fidelity does NOT refer to the level of stylization, it refers to games that are using cutting edge graphical technology that typically require a large expense to implement. So, Octopath Traveler would have been high-fidelity maybe in 1998, but not so much in 2018, it's nowhere near cutting edge.
