Thats good news. Im holding out because I dont want a $300 system that basically plays platform games.

The DS/3DS have the best game library of any of their systems.

Black Friday might be a good time to pull the trigger. Maybe a bundle of sorts will be out, even though Nintendo doesn't drop prices much.

Pretty fast-paced (for a turn-based game), fairly deep combat system, eight different characters to choose from in whatever order you like.

Hard to explain more than that; all I can really say is that graphics aren't everything

depends on if they challenge the player or not to me. I find games like Dragon Quest to often be a chore since strategy takes a back seat to grinding. But something like SMT or Etrian Odyssey where grinding isn't as helpful as team building and tailoring strategy to the fight I enjoy quite a bit.

The presentation is basically the big draw for most players to Octopath, Retro style without retreating into a lazy presentation. A proper homage with modern SFX.

I must say the one thing I don't like about Octopath's graphics is that the party sprites don't match the enemy's in combat. The enemies will have nice detailed and large sprites while the party just has their map sprites.

I feel the exact same way about platform and non-rpg action games. Each to his own.

I think a lot of people enjoy leveling up their characters.

I wish that there were character portraits next to dialogue though...but I agree with you about enemies.

Supposedly Square Enix is experimenting with adding in new content and trying to find a way to make it worth porting to the Switch.

Like, rather than just releasing a port of it, or a port of the 3DS version we're not allowed to have, they're holding it back so they can add in what'll probably just be trivial gimmicky bullshit. Why are game companies so out of touch with consumers sometime? >_>

http://www.gamerankings.com/ps4/836707-ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana/index.html

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana

Developer Nihon Falcom has always been talented, but this project represents a new high for the studio, a game where each piece comes together and interlocks in a way that feels damn near perfect. Dont let the obscure name fool you; forgettable story aside, this is one of the best action-RPGs of this generation.

Polygon 9.5/10

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is easily the most ambitious entry in series to date, with an expansive world map and a greater emphasis on storytelling. It carries the proud tradition of a skillfully satisfying and lightning fast combat engine, paired with a soundtrack that could only have been composed by the legends at Team JDK. It makes a strong case, not only as one of the best Ys games ever made, but also as a contender for game of the year.

Doesn't seem to be much "SaGa" about it, apart from maybe the plot structure.

It's like the opposite of hearing about Assassin's Creed Victory and I thought "AW YEAH that title is boss" then they reneged last second and called it Syndicate

I was kinda hoping for the reverse to happen here

You kind of answered your own question.

SNES had some great JRPGs. Final Fantasy 4 - 6, Chrono Trigger, Lufia, etc.
