Current Events > I'm pretty much done with Octopath Traveler. AMA? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I haven't 100% it, but I'm pretty much done. Haven't done the final dungeon(or found it yet), or one of the secret jobs. Those are the only two things I've really got left to do at this point.

No regrets on my purchase price. Probably won't go on any decent sale for at least a year. Not worth waiting a year to save $15.

I loved it. Got about 60 hours in it so far and thoroughly enjoyed almost everything about the game. There's a few minor gripes but it's super polished.

The worst aspect...hmm, I don't really know. It was a really good game and like I said, there's not much to complain about. The only thing you could maybe say is that it's a bit too formulaic. But that can also be a good thing. Almost every character/area/dungeon in the game follows the same general formula for how it's going to play out, so it's predictable in that regard.

Does the story hold up?
How long did it take you?
Did you play old school ps1 games like Saga Frontier? If so how did it compare?

Some people think the story is the weakest point. I personally liked most of the stories. The 8 stories are all very 'short' stories. There's not a lot of overarching evil or any of that. It's just 8 simple stories of 8 characters that each set out to do one thing.

The game takes about 58 hours to beat. I plugged my time into howlongtobeat.com when I finished, and my time was almost exactly the 'average' time to beat it.

I didn't play Saga Frontier. The game is most similar to games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, but its battle and gameplay mechanics are much improved from that era.
