Octopath Traveler Discussion topic.

[Wyndlerunner he/him]

Seeing as how the demo for the new JRPG "Octopath Traveler" has been out for a few days now, I thought I'd start up a discussion topic for it. I'm a proud Cyrus starter, and have since met Ophilia and had her join my quest to find a stolen tome. I am a big fan of the "Breaking" system, and it flows really nicely in battle. Path actions are also a really cool feature, which really makes each playable character feel more unique, and like they really contribute to the overall team dynamic. The art style is also really cool, blending old with new in a crazy and creative way. So, yeah, discuss away!

I've not played the new demo yet, but I've been wondering if it's any good. Is it?

@MarShadow, I personally really enjoyed it. It's a nice turn-based RPG, with what seems like the makings of a good story. What with it being a free demo, I would definitely recommend it.

I got it yesterday and I love it. I started with Tressa and then moved north to Cyrus. I really like the path actions and think that it nicely rounds out the noncombat side of the game. Also the music and unique map style are wonderful.

I just got the game monday. Love it. 

As a general rogue, I started Therion. Went south after to grab warrior, and picked up the Apothecary on the way. (hes really useful)

Also, bought 99 herb as soon as i could, so i have mad healing.

I find it rather ironic, given that I started this topic, but Christmas has made this wonderful game mine at last. 8 hours into this game, it blows away all of my expectations. I really love it

I preordered it, but still haven’t finished the game. I have 3 or so Chapter 3s left, as well as the Chapter 4s.

Fun game though.
