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.

What about Octopath makes it high-end? Quality of art and sprites? Neither of those disqualify it from being called low fidelity. I think Octopath is worth $60 because I'll pay just about anything for high quality JRPGs. That said, it's not a hard argument to make that it should be priced differently. Much like I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear, it should have been priced differently from an $60 game.

I don't see how this helps your argument. Game is beautiful, but it's clearly not pushing any boundaries. They went with style over fidelity. That's ok. At full price, it's going to be compared to other $60 games, regardless of length.

Did you bother watching the video? Just because it's not on the same scale as FFXV or DQXI doesn't mean there's nothing high-end about it. Persona 5 is not on the same scale as those games and went with style over fidelity, but that's somehow different because it has 3D models and cutscenes?
What magical line in the sand are we drawing here.

Grouping it directly with I am Setsuna and Lost Sphear is just lazy at best.
