It's really good. The battle themes are cool, and some of the main cast have really great themes. Partitio's is my personal favorite

I beat it at 80 and half hours I think. I ended up playing for another 20 hours afterwards though finishing up sidequests and the superboss. I did it blind so some of the stuff that took me a while to figure out were beginning to get frustrating. I felt like such a dummy when I accidentally found the entrance to the Infernal Castle after it was driving me nuts.

Fantastic. I like that there are three different songs associated with each character. They have their own themes, another set of themes for some cutscenes before a boss in their chapters, and then they all have a different variation of one of the boss themes for their respective final bosses. I also like quite a few of the nighttime area themes.

I think the stories are better, the day/night system gives everyone two path actions so you can be more flexible in your party making, the battle system is tweaked in a way that makes individual characters feel more unique with latent powers and EX skills, to name a few. Oh also the addition of crossed paths / actual interwoven storylines. I haven't gotten to it yet but I heard this one wraps up better than the first.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

They play pretty similarly but there is no story overlap so if you want to play them both I'd play the first one first because after playing the second I probably wouldn't play the first again.

Well it'd be kinda weird to have 8 differently named(but similar due to the 8 gods they're tied to) jobs for no reason. The 4 special jobs aren't the same as the first Octopath fwiw.

Way better. Also a minor thing I like in this game is that the journal will automatically save every banter you did or didn't see as you play through chapters. If you didn't have a specific character in your party for a chapter you can just see the banter you missed after finishing it.
[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

You don't have to. There's a returning character from the first game that's in two sidequests, but plotwise it isn't required. If anything I'd only recommend the first game before II because it'd be hard to go back to.

I'm like 10 hours in and only beat the first 4 chapters of the east side (well technically two for the scholar). I put +100 hours into the first one. Can't wait to beat the second in like 2-3 months lol. Love the franchise!
