This kind of JRPG is iconic, and only belongs to Square Enix.
This fantasy world uses independent plots and melodious music to illustrate truth and hypocrisy. Travelers from all corners of the continent have come to bring a symbol of hope to a continent shrouded in darkness.
This game, or the whole Octopath Traveler series is slow-paced. The plot that cannot be skipped, but the plot interpretation that just feels right, a dark tinge with a hint of light.
I have to say that its art style is awesome. Square Enix's style is unique symbolic, plus pixelated and Live2D. To me, this isn't Japanese animation with delicate bishojo, it's more like art work of religion, empire, and humanity in Japanese anime style.
There's a certain innovation in the turn-based battle where you can switch people at any time and use effective attacks to break the enemy.
Played by piano, violin, and other instruments, the background music is very melodic and healing. You can easily feel whether things are getting worse or weird by different arrangements of BGM.
The story of the game is a little too negative and dark. Whether it's the main story or the side story, many characters don't have a happy ending, which makes me quite sad. (no spoilers)
