I initially wondered if the $60 price tag was a little high for a game that has a sort of indie-looking charm... nope. This game has meat on the bones. It is kind of high honestly, but there are a few things to consider that make it a bit understandable. 1. They built an entirely new engine just to make this game. 2. They have a decent amount of voice acting (VAs are the most expensive part of any game that uses them) especially if you want quality voice acting. 3.

It's fucking stupid. Combat is fun Inquire is fun but overall side quests feel a little thrown in Tbh the games combat is what's keeping me in right now (and sinking $60), hopefully it picks up at chapter 2s</quote> Interaction starts to occur a little more in the form of travel banter once you start doing Chapter 2s. Depending on who is in your party, each character will have a little skit where they talk with whomever the Chapter 2 is currently about. An example would be Tressa asking Primrose a question about dancing after a story cutscene in her Chapter 2. Supposedly, once you start completing Chapter 4s, then the skits open to having multiple party members in them such a skit with all the guys participating in a contest of sorts but I haven't made it to that point myself.</quote> Sounds like PA's from Star Ocean: The Second Story. Might have to look up a list so I don't miss any.</quote> There a stickied topic on the Octopath Traveler board detailing which order the party banter appears in for each character's chapter. I've already missed a few myself unfortunately.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
