I have never played any octopath games nor do I know anything abt it. I just got drawn to pixelated aesthetic and looked like old jrpg. Plus, I had been itching for a good turn-based game to play on mobile (since I can't afford console duhhh).
The main story, though generic, is so intriguing. Yes they have the same tropes like the chosen one to save the world and classic villains who just pure evil, BUT they used these tropes well. Not too exaggerated or overused.
As for the traveller stories tho, it's a mixed bag. A lot of the low star units' stories almost the same; female units often abt finding husband and male units often abt becoming adult.
I love the visual presentation. The colour palette bring me back to old jrpg. I like the pixel is more of "how you can put as much details in pixel art" than "use pixel to simplify stuff". Idk how to explain this in simpler words but this is the best I can do.
The battle is easy once you get used to it. I'm a character collectors, so I won't touch on the battle system. I simply don't know what to look for in a good battle system. Overall, the battles are fun and engaging.
I do hope when changing skill, it just affect the team that unit is in. For example, I change Scarecrow's skill in team A, so I don't want his skill in other team also set like his skill in Team A.
Also, the male to female ratio seems balanced to me. No stupid ratio like 100 females and 5 males like most gacha games. Idc if most of the five stars are female, as long there's still a lot male units I can use.
The male designs are varied. Teens, young men and uncles and grandpas. Some are thin, beefy and chubby. Can't say the same for the female units tho. Where's my sword wielder grandmas at? Lololol
Overall, I really enjoy this game and can see myself playing it for a long time. Thanks for reading and happy gaming!
