Final Fantasy IV, V, and VI. Secret of Mana. Super Mario RPG. Chrono Trigger. Unarguably, these are brilliant games. For years, diehard game fans with reliable internet connections were at least kind of familiar with Live a Live, which never received a localized release outside Japan. So when the remake was announced, I anticipated it with curiosity and wonder, as if some long lost treasure had been found. Would it be on the level as these SNES greats? The short answer is no, obviously. It is not the "missing link" between FFVI and CT. If anything, it's the spiritual predecessor to Saga Frontier for the PSX. The player explores 7 loosely related scenarios with 7 separate characters. An 8th scenario follows that allows for the characters to converge. In true Octopath Traveler fashion, this remake also features the dangerously overused "HD2D" engine (which is honestly not really noticeable unless you directly compare screenshots). The scenarios vary drastically in quality, though each one brings something different to the table. "Far Future" - featuring the adorable coffee robot Cube - is proto survival horror told in an almost visual novel - like style. "Present Day" is a Street Fighter parody. "Feudal Japan" is stealth-based with opportunities for "genocide/pacifist" playthroughs. Some of these are really inspired (Far and Near Future are my favorite), while some are pretty bad ("Medieval China" is boring and has literally racist battle music, even in the remake). The battle system seems to be the biggest strike against this game though. The game gives the player a ton of freedom to move around the grid and attack basically whenever they want. Sounds good, except the enemies don't have the same freedom, so it felt extremely... easy I guess? It's just strange, like it's missing something. Anybody play this?
