Octopath Traveler is so much fun! Every time I try to play it, I am blown away with the beauty of it all - for a pixelated 2D game, I absolutely love looking at the backgrounds, and the music is lovely. I have nothing negative to say about the gameplay either, but I've been distracted away from it and subsequently restarted about three times now. I'm currently in a 'distracted away' dynamic with it, but now that you've reminded me it exists... Maybe after I play The Great Ace Attorney, I'll put it back to the front of the queue.
Agreed about H'aanit. Every time she says something, I am just very tired.
I think Primrose is probably my favourite. Her trope of subjecting herself to years of abject misery and (unconfirmed) sex work and just getting the people around her killed because of her thrall to her personal quest is just completely my jam.
I also really like Therion, although that comes with a bit of discomfort considering his English VA's abuse allegations; but I think that in cases like that, it's important to remember that video games have teams of hundreds of people and I should not judge the content based off one involved person's unrelated misdemeanors.
The only thing about the game that really makes me sad compared to other JRPGs I've enjoyed is that the party of eight characters don't really interact much at all?
Yeah, I agree! I've been replaying Final Fantasy XII recently and have had the same thought with that game. I miss Tales-style skits, or even all of XV's hours of miscellaneous flavour dialogue.
