A vast improvement from the original Octopath in terms of narrative with some fun new gimmicks and a shit ton of content. I haven’t beaten the true final boss yet, but I’ll get back to you on that. In true Octopath fashion, the gameplay is great if you’re a fan of RPGs and the presentation- say what you will about the HD-2D- is wonderful. It’s hard to talk about the story with how it’s formatted, but if you want my 100% correct and objective opinion: Agnea > Castti > Partitio > Tenemos = Throné > Ochette > Hikari > Osvald.
