Actually real gamers don't need the story when a game is this enjoyable.
Story line stuff is usually pitched by people that need to identify with characters or that can not phantom enough imagination to fill in the blanks..
Gaming How is Octopath Traveller?

Real gamers don't need games, they just use their imagination to play imaginary games in their head.
I'm not big into RPG games at all (at least not MODERN RPGs), but if you played RPGs back in the SNES days, you would LOVE it....I highly recommend it. I got the XCI file 2 days before release, however, I had the Wayfarer's Edition on pre-order, despite pirating the game, I didn't cancel my pre-order, I had no problem paying full price for the game (and then some, btw, I love the soundtrack....it does NOT get old!)...I'm about 11 hours in...and STILL cannot manage to find a place that sells staff's...i'm sure its some place simple that i'm just overlooking....)

I think if you complete your mains story line you can then swap them out.
Okay I'm a bit more than 20 hours in, first chars in chapter 4 and I must say it gets a bit old now. It's always the same. Go to city, do five minutes of backstory activity, get to dungeon, beat boss, rinse and repeat 32 times. Absolutely no interaction between the chars, it seems as if the party is thrown together randomly.
Damn, what a drag. Every time I think of multiple characters in a party/multie parties, I think of Final Fatasy III (FF6 in Japan). That was a good example of how to do multiple parties in an entertaining way.
Just my opinion...

I'm almost finished now (3 parts left) and I have to force myself through it. It's so boring and repetitive at the end. I was all over this game at the beginning but after almost having finished it, I'd rate it 75%, maybe 80 tops.
I haven't even finished all the chapters on my 1st team and I'm still enjoying myself.
Yeah, I enjoyed it through the first two or three chapters as well, but there's just not enough variety in the game, it's just more of the same with every chapter. I know it was communicated before that there is no big bad or that the stories join together at some point, but that's just really badly executed. There were so many possibilities to do that somehow, with 8 characters, but there's like zero interaction between them. I know there's a secret post game dungeon, that shows a wall of text trying to explain how things are connected, but that's not enough in my opinion. Appears like a poor excuse to somehow create a connection.
I just bought myself a Switch and was looking at that but I decided to get Nights of Azure 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 instead. Octopath looked like it was gonna be a collection really short games based on the description on the case. Maybe I'll pick it up at a later date. Kirby Star Allies, and some JRPGs (possibly including this) are on my list.
It is all explained once you killed the end boss
Meanwhile there some extra bosses to kill for getting those 4 jobs well now only 3.
sounds like a traditional rpg all right that's pretty much what they are all like even back from the snes. reading all the comments in here sounds like i dodged a bullet. soon as i heard it was turned based rpg nah i'm pretty much over and done with that a long time ago.
