I remember when the first Octopath Traveler was announced, I thought it looked interesting. Never got around to playing it, though. So, originally, I wasn't going to pick up the sequel.

Then I had a dream about playing it - more than that, LIKING it - so I took that as a sign from God that I should pick this game up.

Holy goddamn am I glad I did, as this is one of the best fuckin games (that isn't a remake or a remaster) that I've played in AGES.

The characters are immediately likable, their eight stories having me hooked from beginning to end, all culiminating in some plot twists that had my jaw FIRMLY dislocated. To say nothing of the gorgeous art style, or the incredible soundtrack accompanying it all, or even the really, REALLY fun combat!

God damn. God DAMN. One of the best RPGs I've ever played.
