Simple if you like JRPGS of old then give it a shot

If you like gameplay and solid turn-based battle systems, it's worth checking out

If you only play JRPGs for story, avoid the game.

Ignore all the shitposting and misinformation/bias that will occur after this very reply.

The game is fun but repetitive.
The art is pretty
Story is ok. Instead of having a linear narrative, you have a different storyline for each character which they don't intertwine. Other characters don't even interact with each other in other storylines.
Apparently you learn how all the characters are linked if you get the true ending, but there's a good chance you'll get bored of the game before you get there.

Oh, and don't get it at full price.
Even if you love jrpgs, wait until it's at least $30

It didnt really get high marks, its a pretty ok jrpg if you're a classic fag. story is pretty meh and not worth $60+Denuvo

Dude lol what if we made an RPG with... Multiple party members

How long is it? Been looking for something easy to play on the go consistently on my smash bros machine.

there are far better jrpg's on switch

I'm pretty ignorant to them, do you have a list?
No Xenoverse please.

Don't you DARE say Xenoblade 2 lol

I guarantee we'll get a rush of video essays critiquing it now

Ps4 is the platform of jrpgs. Go ahead and name the list of better ones switch has. You will name xb2 shovelware, no doubt.

Can we not devolve into console wars please, I just wanted to know if Octosoi Guzzler is good or not.

The game is splendid, but don't get it unless you like the genre.

I got bored with it, most of the stories are run of the mill fantasy tropes, and a lot of the dungeons are just giant rooms with one maze path going through it, and a few offshoots with treasure.

It's a decent JRPG, but nothing particularly ground breaking. I think it got high marks because the switch doesn't have alot of non-nintendo exclusives

yes faggot
t. merked Galdera

Subpar at best honestly
It has shit story and dialogue which are pretty important for a jrpg
the gameplay definitely doesn't carry it

Do you want to hear a funny joke?

This shit is low effort, just like its predecessor, and FF itself, and DQ for that matter.
Square, Enix, and Square-Enix could fuck off from history and nothing of value would be lost. If anything the industry might've been better off without the type of pretentious cunts who gave these non-video game developing chink roaches attention and money.
Daily reminder that you share a board with ass backwards nigger faggots who mourn a "game" like Versus XIII, a literal compilation of CGI trailers from the mind of that retard who takes credit for making Kingdom Hearts despite having no clue what game design is.

Is this you, by any chance?

This.
Fucking Granblue has more going on than Octagon Traverser.
Square-Enix's nostalgia department, hard at work as ever.
>Literally own a subsidiary named Tokyo RPG Factory
is it supposed to be ironic, or are they just blatantly making fun of the retards who buy this shit?

Who here remembers the absolute SEETHING when this video came out?

JRPGs are my fav genre and I still didnt like it

>That bit where he intentionally stopped using the effective attack to make it look more dragged out

>is it supposed to be ironic, or are they just blatantly making fun of the retards who buy this shit?
I'd say it's just a matter of fact name of what they shit out

would have been 10x better if at the end all 8 of the characters are together against a final set of bosses/challenges.

It's pretty obvious he was just trying to stage an example piece and didn't want to waste any more time on the abortion by resetting.
Regardless, he's not wrong. Octopath is a love letter to everything wrong that Dragon Quest did when it blatantly stole Wizardry's formula, and that was later removed slowly by Final Fantasy... only to be fucking reinserted in this dumb visual novel.
Octopath is the definitive experience in wandering around a compact, generic fantasyland and constantly being interrupted by trash mobs. It's like if BotW forced you to fight X amount of Bokoblins before proceeding to the next domain.
JRPGs are the most embarrassing genre in the industry for a variety of reasons. They've had some high points, but overall they have such little relevance outside of being popular with people who can't play actual video games like SRPGs or RTS games, or Hell even fucking RPGs where you can decide more than what arbitrary fantasy skin your character wears.
Why aren't Turn-Based JRPGs simply labeled as SRPGs?
Really gets the octopath travelin'

so the story is bad?
you guys literally just like it for nostalgia's sake?

just horrendously average i'd say

XB2 is a great game as is it's prequel. But it's true that the PS4 is better for JRPGs for now.

>ITS BAD AT EVERYTHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE A JRPG GOOD, PLAY IT IF YOU LIKE JRPGS
THIS IS HOW YOU FUCKING RETARDS SOUND
STOP RECOMMENDING THIS SHIT

>was it only given high marks because of the Nintendo bonus

It wasn't really, it didn't sell as well as expected.

Fuck you for (You)ing me and making me come back here to see this shitty post

The visuals are actually horrendous in motion
DoF fucking everywhere to the point when you can discern nothing in the background and every single fucking area is the same exact brown/beige color scheme, even the snowy blue area has a slight brown filter
The overworld is literally just hallways with the occasional "hub" area that branches off into 2 more hallways
Dungeons are just straight lines
Instead of having one overarching grand storyline that somehow connects all the characters, it's 8 separate stories that are so mind-numbingly simplistic, a child could have wrote them
Music is alright
Overall, game is just bad, if you are craving a SNES era JRPG, just play a fucking SNES era JRPG, Lord knows there were enough of them. I think the only reason Yea Forums defended it so adamantly was because of the Dunkey video shitting all over it with terrible strawmans and deliberately misleading descriptions.

>60$ for mobile shit

Truth. There's a reason most of Yea Forums hates J"""""RPG"""""s. They aren't real video games, just glorified movies. Play a real RPG like Deus Ex or Fallout fucking weebcucks.

He is right tho

WEEBS FUCKING BTFO

There are no good japanese """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""role playing """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""games"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""".

Bumping this thread just so we can see the weeb cope after they read this based post. J"RPG"s are for people who hate actual video games. They're the butt of all of Yea Forums's jokes for a reason.

It really isn't that good. I'd wait for a discount or just pirate it. The only good things it has going for it are the music and art.

>octopath traveler
>turn based combat
>random encounters
>"gameplay"

Only makes sense weebs are dicksucking nintendsoy for not censoring their favorite weebshit """"""""games"""""""""" after Sony rightfully defaced the most embarassing elements of those glorified movies.

This

J"RPG"s aren't real games basically.

It's the blandest game ever made. Its dungeons are 2 minute long hallways. Don't fall for this meme, PC bros

They can be ok if they have likable characters/story/combat but when you have a game that has none of those (Octopath Traveler), the music/art direction don't make it worthwhile

Bump for weeb tears

What is it about Octopath that brings out the autism?
OP it's pretty good if you like classic rpgs, wait for a sale.

Doesn't change the fact that JRPGs are our mosr hated genrre for very good reasons, ones which point out masterfully

Shill.

>e-everytime someone criticizes a game I like it's autism

Octocuckshill BTFO

It's distilled final fantasy-esque jrpg.

>465042312
Embarassing samefag OP. Weebshit isn't tolerated here for a reason.

And it's shit, like 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of J"RPG"s

Is this thread one guy replying to himself?

I respect your opinion. But I like it however.

YIKES

It's just one weeb autist sperging out because we exposed his favorite genre for the embarassing schlock it is.

Octopath is babby zoomer's first "retro" JRPG.
Live a Live and Saga Frontier did the "multiple protagonists" decades ago but are pretty awkward to play by today's standards.

What if I just like fighting bosses and leveling up? Is there build variety/strategy?

There are classes and sub classes similar to ff3, characters are pretty variable in how you can play them but it's not outstanding. Bosses are pretty fun, probably a highlight of the game

Yes, you fight bosses and level up in JRPGs user.

>wtf it just goes 404 when I check youtube.

>all games from 100 centuries ago
LMAOOOO

>turn-based
And into the trash it goes.

Too complicated for you?
