OCTOPATH TRAVELER™

Hadn't played a pixel style game since the before times. I'm only about halfway through the game and already know that this is a game I will end up replaying in the future- great story.

C’est pas parce que tu me mets de la jolie musique dans les oreilles et de beaux graphismes devant les yeux que ton jeu a moins le goût de merde

求求你们都来玩八方旅人1。

[h1]A competent, turn based jRPG with no big surprises[/h1] Your ragtag team of cliché characters goes out into their generic adventures in a semi-linear (ie level-gated) standard fantasy world. No big decisions to make, no deep thoughts or dilemmas to ponder, just a smooth ride through a standard story. If you are familiar with jRPGs, you'll recognize a lot of tropes and formulas seen elsewhere. IMO that's fine, not every game has to reinvent the wheel. Pixel graphics are comfy and the perspective's tilt shift gives the world an impression of a miniature wonderland. The meat of this game lies in two areas: 1) The customization of your characters and party Choose one of eight dudes or dudettes as your MC and build a team of four from the other seven, as they join you in the early game. Abilities for a character's main job are fixed, but they can pick up another job with their own abilities later on and switch them at will. They can also learn passive skills from their own and other jobs, which adds another layer of depth. Discovering synergies and good party compositions is fun. 2) The battle system Every enemy has vulnerabilities, be it a certain kind of weapon or elemental attacks. Damaging enemies by these means depletes their shields; Once depleted they are stunned, skip their turn and take additional damage. On the other hand your characters build up "BP" every turn, a ressource you spend to enhance your abilities: Bigger dmg numbers, more attacks, longer buff durations etc. These two mechanics combined make for a interesting battle dynamic, an ebb and flow of building up BP, depleting enemy shields with cheap attacks and spending BP to do terrible, terrible damage once enemies are vulnerable. Enjoyable throughout the game.

如果是人生的第一款jrpg可能会给好评，这剧情真得太平淡了，和白开水一样。角色之间没啥交集真得纯败笔。说实话这个做好了反而可能成为亮点，比如不同角色开局以不同顺序结交其他角色有不同的剧情碰撞或者发展或者哪怕只是剧情里多说两句话呢？只可惜现在的se真没这个水平。还有想做怀旧可以，但你看看现在其他怀旧游戏顶多是画面音乐怀旧一下，不是让你把游戏机制也怀旧，这个暗雷真得忍不了一点，不知道何时会碰到小怪就算了，再加上破防机制，碰到了就得磨磨唧唧打半天。 只能说庆幸没在一方五十的时候买。

我去，终于通关了

MY FOCUS IS UNPARALLELED!!!!!!

EL juego es hermoso, Squere Enix por otro lado... bueno.
