Undertale is literally game of the decade. Octopath was, at best, decent.

Undertale is overhyped as fuck.

Octopath was too, but at least got called on it faster

Undertale actually just Is That Good. It's just a really good game that took the world by word of mouth.
Octopath Traveler was built upon a dishonest advertising campaign.

Undertale was a bit too pretentious for its own good.
Even though Octopath Traveler was borderline trash, it was still a straightforward game that didn't forget that a game has to be fun to play as well.

Why do you say that Undertale is pretentious? I thought it delivered its story with much more grace and skill than many RPGs.
And the game is super fun, the only time it's not is genocide grinding which only 2 bosses are locked behind.
I'd much rather fight Sans than the boring token abomination final boss of Octopath. I never even beat that.

They went really hard to make it seem like characters' stories had some amount of interconnection in their stories and were doing stuff together, but the game's more like 8 completely separate mini arcs, of heavily varying quality, with some potential banter between cutscenes.
It was talked about like a spiritual successor to Final Fantasy VI, where all the characters were actually working towards a common goal. Jason Schrier actually put out an article called "Octopath is no FFVI" before the game came out and people tried to roast him. He was totally right
The game's not irredeemable, the art is very good, there's some good music, and imo it's fun, but it kinda flopped on its main deliverable. There's also just many strange design decisions, like the open overworld dungeons that are just empty of a boss unless you find the one person in the game world to talk to open that fight up.
I wanna emphasize, some of the stories SUCK lol

Indeed but it hooked you for a long time, always giving you the expectation of an AAA climax.

Undertale was good the first time then afterwards, you begin wanting a real game to play and not some wittiness simulation.

Undertale is the better game, yeah. Octopath Traveler is painfully mediocre and was easily surpassed in its own genre by DQXI the same season it came out.

Game gets undeserved praise.
yep

Undertale isn't as good as people say it is. But Octopath traveler is nothing special. I would vote for Undertale myself, but Tropical Freeze or Mario Odyssey are definitely better, so it'd get knocked out in the next round.

Like these two games are so hilariously evenly matched but nobody wants to admit it b/c "Octopath doesn't have enough story"

Undertale is not that great, sorry to tell you. It's not even in the same tier as other highly acclaimed indie games like Celeste and Stardew Valley. Or Hollow Knight for that matter, another game with a rather overzealous fanbase.
undertale was at least a unique experience. not much can be said about octoboring

Nothing can compare to Octopath Traveler; not even Undertale.

OT is a JRPG from out of this world. Square Enix went extremely hard with the title. You can tell they were thinking of their SNES games when creating this fantatic and legendary gem.

The music and the gameplay are memorable, but that's not all. The replay value is also off the charts.

Undertale tried, but that's okay.

Now I could be wrong but pretty sure none of this was actually the fault of the advertising or the creators of the game but instead was just non-stop overhyped by fans and journalism sites before release. Everyone was likening it to FFVI but it more closely resembles Live-A-Live (fantastic game if you've never played it) from a story structure (albeit without the separate time periods) , and the gameplay is absolutely inspired by SNES jrpgs like FFVI and Chrono Trigger, just with a modern twist from the Break and Boost system (likely inspired by Persona and of course Bravely Default, respectively.) Just a classic case of video game journalism and a crazy fan base way over-hyping a game in the wrong way. I mean hell the Bravely team made fan art of Tiz waving to Tressa and Cyrus and the fan base went nuts because they thought it confirmed they were in the same universe and the series were going to be linked in some way. But the game is still great so whatever.

The OST is one of the best I've heard, and mixing and matching jobs + party members that have different synergies is extremely enjoyable to me

Anyway, I'm curious if this means Undertale's meme status has FINALLY faded out.
