Even if the overarching narrative of Octopath Traveler doesn't entice players, the game's action-oriented turn-based battles are enticing. It's also worth noting that, along the way, the game's free-flowing and highly customizable combat system is deeply enjoyable throughout all of the game's stories. The character development is commendable, and sets up their respective quests quite well. Among the other six party members in the game, each hero has their own origin story to tell. Primrose fights to avenge her father, as a former noble-turned-dancer-turned-assassin seeking the secret society of the Obsidians, who murdered her father. Olberic fights to reclaim his honor as a legendary knight from the fallen Kingdom of Hornburg, after spending years seeking purpose for his sword arm.

Of course, the game doesn't hold secret the number of playable characters to expect in the full party: the premise of Octopath Traveler is eight heroes' fates are meant to be intertwined as a dark force reawakens after years of being sealed away by the gods. However, once the game launched and plenty of players had time with Octopath Traveler, there was one noticeably strange downside: the overarching narrative. Players immediately grew fond of the games 2.5D-esque blending of pixel art and depth perspective, while the combat and JRPG progression systems enthused fans of classic JRPGs. Following up on iconic franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, the nostalgic charm of Octopath Traveler was a surprise hit when it was announced and released on Nintendo Switch initially.
