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

Is Torna really that great? It's an honest question, I'm debating on whether I should get it or not.

OT: Xenobureido 2 in my opinion.

It depends. The way I see it: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 New Game+ > Torna > Xenoblade Chronicles 2 first play.

Part of the issue with the first playthrough is that the beginning feels very rough due to missing so many field skills and difficulty spikes; also the pacing is kind of terrible. Torna and New Game+ are excellently paced. Torna's pacing and length feel a bit like an SNES RPG, it's a lot shorter.

I realize this is controversial, but I actually liked Xenoblade Chronicles X even more. The game felt grander, and the story more interesting - despite not having a traditional plot line, and is instead more like a large collection of short stories that fill out the overall universe instead - think Asimov style, like iRobot or Foundation; or even Robert E Howard.
