I played thru Octopath Traveler, and the story doesn’t tie everyone together until that secret last boss. Nothing much interesting in the writing until that part, I guess.
I read that Octopath Traveler 2 rectified that, and it’s one of the best JRPG of this year. I bought that on sale, but haven’t touched it yet.
I dropped Tunic halfway thru, the combat just doesn’t gel with me.
I think two or three stories briefly mention that last boss, so it wasn’t too hard to figure out that something is there, but the game just makes it so unappealing and uninteresting to actually look for it, that I just can’t be bothered.
I’ll probably eventually get the sequel. Like you said, I’ve basically only heard praises of the game, but it’s gonna be some time before I do.
I played both Octopath Travellers games. The second is definitely a step in the right direction in terms of cohesion. There’s also now a piss easy final boss, as well as an impossible-if-you don’t-follow-a-cheese-strategy-online secret final final boss. Merely being level 99 doesn’t cut it. Ugh. Octopath Travellers games are so charming but the devs still haven’t figured out how to end them in my humble opinion.
