I played OT1 before OT2 and, unlike most people, I really enjoyed it and didn't really understand all the hate around it.
After reading multiple times that "OT2 is so much better than OT1," I just couldn't see how an already fantastic IP could get any better, so I bought this game.

And now I see it.

They took Octopath Traveler 1 and cranked everything up to 11. The world is gorgeous, detailed and worth exploring. The stories are exciting and incredibly well written. The combat has seen many changes, increasing the skill ceiling and giving the player more options and strategies to work with. The OST is quite frankly a masterpiece, simple as that.

There's so much more to say about this fantastic game and all the improvements and changes they made, but it will be much better if you see it for yourself.

I definitely recommend this game, even at full price. 8/8
