This is downloading right now and I am PUMPED to play it.
Reviews are all pretty solid and it sounds like some really good shit.
"Embark on a vast new role-playing adventure as one of eight travelers, all with their own origins, paths, and goals. The producers of the Bravely series at Square Enix have brought a new world to life through a mix of CG, pixel art, and "HD-2D" visuals. Embark on a vast new role-playing adventure as one of eight travelers, all with their own origins, paths, and goals. Where to begin? Who to team up with? Where to go next? Only you can decide. Each traveler can use a distinct Path Action, a specialized way of achieving objectives and interacting with people you encounter. The warrior can "challenge" people to a duel, whereas the dancer can "allure" others to follow her, even into battle! Enjoy the freedom to choose your own path while experiencing the story through the role you play. Combat revolves around the Boost system, a fusion of traditional turn-based battling and modern enhancements. Each turn, build up BP that can be spent to dramatically increase your strength or provide aid. Identifying when to Boost may just be the key to victory.
* A new RPG adventure from the minds at Square Enix who brought you the Bravely series
* Choose from eight distinct characters, each with their own path, and see where the story takes you
* Music and visuals inspired by RPGs of yore, brought to life with modern touches
Deep, strategic turn-based combat with an innovative battle system "
So yeah, I'm probably not going to get going with this tonight but I know I'm not the only one playing it so let's talk about this shiz as we go along!

Yeah! Today!
it's fun, it's sort of... light? the story is very simple and sparse
i don't necessarily mind that though? Iunno i'm enjoying it so far
"sparse" is maybe the wrong word, there's plenty of dialogue, but so far all the prologues feel very cordoned off, I haven't actually gotten any dialogue from my starting character since like the first hour

Just take it out of the title. I'm sure other JRPG's might be talked about but this is primarily for Octopath Traveler.
Yes, seriously. I really wish you could switch off your main so your first action in the game wasn't such a huge deal. I went back and forth between Primrose, Tressa and Cyrus but eventually chose Primrose.

Hunter baby! The healer character is close by and you get leopard
I've had it preordered since the day after it was announced
i like her as the ""main"" character because her plot is just, "i wanna go out and see the world," and of the four people i've picked up so far it makes the most sense to me that she'd be the one picking up traveling companions

Guess we'll see how this goes.
Also why'd you ever use Purchase when you can save and Steal until you grab it. The only time I couldn't was when I had an actual 0% chance to rob Tressa's parents of their HP and SP healing accessories.
When people get further into the game, please let me know wither or not stories actually converge together and if characters actually start interacting with each other. I'm afraid that the game might end up as just eight separate stories when I want them to blend in.

Prim seems OK for meeting allies; she has a goal she'll do anything to pursue, so she'd want to pick up whatever allies she can. I feel like she's probably not too attached to any one ally, but she needs muscle, so she's fine with them joining up for no way.
I will however have a cool popup book
So far, they've boiled down to me buying the right item in town with Tressa, or having Olberic beat the tar out of someone who's causing trouble, but that's still pretty interesting.
My only problem with her is that I cannot standeth her ye olde talk. Otherwise she's cool.
Oh wait, there's H'aanit's monsters, too. So 8 turns in one turn?
the monsters don't summon in, you just use them as if they were moves

Ahh.
And TBH, I haven't seen how Tressa's hired help works either. That could also just be a move.
Trying to decide between that and Donate BP (!!!) as her next move. As someone who's played a lot of Bravely Default and Bravely Second, BP manipulation is extremely attractive to me.
I donth liketh thatith either. . .ith

Big fucking mood
Gonna have to really debate which to delve into because I'm sure Octopath is gonna be long.
Donate BP is so good.
My favorite combo thus far is to have Primrose buff Olberic with the Lion Dance, and then for Olberic to just erase a whole group of enemies with a four-boost Level Slash. Is fun.
Still only just starting and I haven’t quite figured out the game’s structure yet but it’s cool.
Started with her because of this post and yeah she’s good.
