Triangle Strategy. I played Triangle Strategy first so it left a bigger impression on me. I played three playthroughs and even started a fourth. I'm about halfway through Octopath Traveler and I am having a hard time finishing it. The random battles are just a chore and it seems to be so hard to earn enough money to by equipment.

I prefer to play games with a good storyline than endless grind fests. Triangle Strategy was as much story as gameplay. The branching story allowed for replay value and the gameplay was very fun. I'm finding combat in Octopath to be a chore.

Also, I feel Triangle Strategy's characters are better and more well developed versions of some of Octopaths characters. Therion reminded me of Rufus. Heathcote reminded me of Benedict. Both Ophelias are similar.

I was more heavily marked by Triangle and find myself wanting to go back to it rather than finish Octopath.
