octopath 1 is probably an 8/10 game, the best thing about it is the striking visual style and presentation. the story is kind of pedestrian. It was fun enough, but imo it really lacked a certain je ne sais quois which the best jrpgs have, something about the characters never really stuck with me. maybe the story progression was too disjointed because there wasn't a particular order that you could recruit the heroes? I think one of the main draws of jrpgs is the development of interpersonal relationships between your party members.
Yes I double dipped, no tripled. One for Switch Retail and PS5 physical copy + Digital in PSN.
Play Tales of Arise. It’s a lot shorter than the older instalments. Also the Battle system is really quick.
I think persona 5...um, well, after the honeymoon period its flaws become apparent. It's a looooooong game and padded out too much. Easy to spend 100+ hours, even 150+ in a single run, especially if you're not using a guide, and most of it is unnecessary to the game. i think the main draw of that game is the aesthetics of the game, particularly the music and some of the artstyle. When I played P5R I thought it was runner-up goty to FF7 Remake but with time my view of it has dimmed quite a bit. How about revisiting some of the old school jrpgs? Grandia, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI, legend of mana, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger?
hehe...I was tempted to buy the Pixel Remaster collection but I fear it's just adding to my backlog and will just distract me from playing what I bought already...
I would say 40 hours but I finished it in 32 hours. I think it’s dependable on your style of playing.
Physical and digital sales of ~5 million copies worldwide.
