Gameplay - 5/5
The vast majority of the game will be spent in random encounter battles, and it's the game's combat system that I think shines the most in this game. Combat is turn-based and is very easy to learn, but is still quite intricate. Characters can use a range of weapons and spells, powering up their moves with a BP meter. Certain characters can use unique abilities in battle, such as summoning an animal or NPC to fight for you. The combat system never really feels overwhelming. It is still a JRPG, so expect a lot of grinding for experience.
Graphics - 5/5
The game's pixel art style and lighting effects make the game look absolutely beautiful yet simple. Unfortunately, there are no settings to adjust the effects that I have seen. Some people have said the lighting and depth-of-field made them feel sick, but I haven't experienced anything like that.
Music - 5/5
Music is one of the most important aspects of a game to me, and this game has a fantastic OST. Not a whole lot to say about it other than that.
Characters - 4.5/5
All eight playable characters have different skills, abilities, and personalities. However, you have to sort of ignore the fact that 2 people with completely opposing personalities and goals would be travelling together. Even though I like Therion (he was my starter character), he feels a bit out of place due to the fact that he is a thief. Therefore, it makes little sense why a merchant named Tressa, who hates thieves, would travel with him. It's not to difficult to overlook because the eight characters don't interact with each other very frequently, which is a bit of a disappointment. This leads me into my next point.
Story (Stories?) - 4.5/5
Individually, I think each character's story is decent enough. Primrose has, in my opinion, the best (and darkest, most mature) story; one of avenging her dead father. However, I was a bit let down by the fact that the eight character's individual stories do not intersect. Sure, two characters may have objectives in the same town, but they never seem relate to each other. I knew this going into the game, but I still think its a lost opportunity. It almost feels a bit like a compilation of 8 short games. Some people may not mind this, but others may be disappointed.
Final Verdict -
This game is overall a fantastic game, and a lot of love and care was put into it. As I said earlier, the only time I think the game actually falls flat comes to missed opportunities in stories crossing paths. However, if you want to experience 8 short, simple stories, then this game is even more fantastic.
The visuals in this game are amazing as they bring back so many memories of JRPG classics but now in HD-2D. The water, snow, sun rays, and desert sand effects are beautiful and deserve praise. The character sprites and cities look good and are well designed. The music is amazing and different regions have different battle music, making battles so much more bearable. The combat is great too as you get to set up a 4 man team and battle how you like, but remember whomever you start with will always be in your team. The combat takes notes from bravely default and you can stack up extra actions, which can be used to deal tons of damage, or prevent an enemies from using their ultimate attacks on you. Enemies have weaknesses which can be used against them to break their guard and leave them open for critical attacks. My only complaint is that enemies do not have health bars, making certain battles that much harder. Lastly- ensure you are properly leveled for each region or you will get obliterated, no joke.
Overall- OPT is a beautiful game with great stories and an amazing battle system that old and new players will appreciate.
Good things, the characters are interesting and love the pixel look, probably due to some nostalgia 😂. Each character has their own specific skill to interact with NPC and you may need to switch to finish side quests. The mini map is accurate and helpful right from the start (more so then the main map). The shared abilities are humorous and make battle so much easier. Overall it's a good game, just expect to grind like crazy to level up.

La jugabilidad es exquisita y es solo igualada por su aspecto gráfico sutil y hermoso, que logra armonizar personajes diseñados al más puro estilo de la vieja era de los 32 bits con un fresco ambiente en tres dimensiones sorprendentemente bien iluminado y espectacularmente colorido que nunca deja de lado el buen gusto. Conservador hasta la médula, Octopath Traveler entiende a la perfección cómo debe ser un JRPG. No vacila en hacer gala de su origen con un orden impecable en la interfaz de usuario y elementos clásicos capaces de dar una cálida y arropadora bienvenida al juego abonando a su ya de por sí sorprendente capacidad de hacerte parte de él.
Si hubiera que definir el apartado de sonido, en una palabra, esa palabra no podría ser otra: sublime. Indiscutiblemente la música es donde más luce la calidad de este videojuego. Es extraordinaria. Deliciosa; sí, esa es la palabra que mejor se ajusta. Queda en evidencia que la gente detrás de su composición y ejecución puso amor y compromiso en cada pieza y nota. Las actuaciones para dar voz a los personajes son ni más ni menos que sobresalientes. Nada que discutir. La nitidez, la calidad… Impresionante. Querrás escuchar toda la experiencia con lo mejor que tengas disponible en casa para reproducir audio.
Si bien la historia es lineal en un sentido más bien tradicional, Octopath Traveler te da la oportunidad de tomar decisiones, elegir qué hacer y a donde ir. Los personajes pueden ser tan entrañables como tú desees porque te da la oportunidad de conocerlos y entenderlos. Además, están perfectamente balanceados. No tendrás problema alguno para escoger a tus favoritos porque es fácil conectarse con ellos sin que el juego llegue a hartarte de sus historias, personalidades y motivos. El problema será elegir a quien llevar porque todos son útiles y poderosos.
Aquí dejo algo muy importante que aclarar antes de terminar. A pesar de similitudes de origen, Octopath Traveler no quiere ser como sus abuelos o sus padres. Octopath Traveler no quiere ser comparado con referentes -subrayo- obligados como Chrono Trigger, Earth Bound o Secret of Mana. Octopath Traveler quiere estar a su altura, lucir sus propias cualidades y sobre todo, escribir su propia historia.
A los fans del género: este título es obligatorio. Un tesoro, una maravilla. Es platino puro que muchos dieron por simple plata.
