SuperNova said: Mine has just arrived! :3 Edit: It sounds like a little bit of a shame that the stories don't converge and tangle more past a certain point, but it is a very original choice to make and I'm willing to give the dev team a huuuge benefit of the doubt on the story, since I haven't played it yet. |

Octopath Traveller is about 8 individual stories, not 8 perspectives on one overarching plot. It reminds me a lot of SaGa Frontier.
Nice, the Switch really is shaping up to be "Paradise" for the JRPG gamer.
*slight smiles*
I wrote this one off since the first demo didn't really impress me, but I might have to pick it up at some point. Seems like it's getting a ton of praise. Then again...so did Bravely Default at first...maybe I should wait till people complete it.

Due to the recent flooding no shop close to me has it and my amazon order is slated to arrive on the 25th. *sigh*
(But I don't want to download it out of principle.)

I'm not exactly looking for an overarching plot that's present in all storylines, but rather some ways they get intertwined. |
They don't team up for a common goal they more so just cross paths and travel together lending their skills to the party to see out their on story, the open ended nature of the game made it difficult for SE to make the characters interact and affect each others stories as the amount of chapters and 8 stories for 8 characters would require a lot of combinations for every scene.
Was tempted to buy the Wayfarer's Edition but it was sold out on Amazon. Probably for the best though, as my finances are hurting a bit as it is. Settled for the regular edition, but had to at least opt for a physical copy. Now the wait begins.. Watching live streams in the meantime, looks awesome. While the turn based RPGs are hit and miss to me, I do love the retro 80's-90's JRPG vibe ala Dragon Quest, FF6, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, etc.

Finally got a Switch.
Got it with Zelda BOTW (double dipped since I already have the Wii U version), and Hollow Knight.
But the reason I finally got it now (Octopath Traveler) lands in a few hours and I can’t wait to finally play it!
After playing the first demo, I was a bit disappointed. I heard that they made massive modifications to it, and it seems that reviews agree. I might just end up buying this
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
My special edition will arrive shortly. Still got a day of work to get through..
