Which do you think is the better JRPG as a whole, Xenoblade 2 or Octopath?

I've only played the demo of Octopath, but unless the demo doesn't accurately represent the game itself, I'd put Xenoblade 2 ahead by a country mile. Amazing characters, compelling narrative, great soundtrack, and incredibly addicting combat system pushed this game into my top 10, and including Torna into the package boosts it even higher. I loved it so much I'm already planning on a 2nd playthrough this year, it's that good.

Octopath had a fun combat system, but I already felt it getting rather repetitive already after however long the demo let me play. The characters didn't really leave enough of any impression on me either...seemed like typical stock fantasy stuff...but maybe that changes as the story goes on.

The demo does not give you anywhere close to the full experience the game has to offer in terms of strategy and what each story has to offer.  It gives a small taste, but there is a lot for to it than any of yhe chapter ones the game has to offer.  In fact, it is chapter 2 that the plots begin yo thicken.
