Please don't flirt with me - I will list every fact of Pokémon I know, which is about 30 years' worth of it. How desperately I wanted any merch of it, How I yearned to make friends who also liked it as an 8yo girl in a small Christian town. Deprived of connections everywhere I turned, it was heck.

Haha hey (in a flirty way) did you know that Octopath Traveler is a spiritual successor to another Square Enix series called the Bravely series. It started all the way back in 2013 with the release of Bravely Default for the 3ds. The games adopt a job system based on Final Fantasy 5,

where you will gradually acquire more and more classes that you can switch around freely on your characters, gaining more and more abilities over the course of the game that, once pieced together, can allow you to make thousands of different builds, and it is up to you to decide how you will tackle

the different challenges that come at you. It is akin to the subclass system in Octopath, except you can switch both main and subclasses.
It features the Brave and Default system, allowing you to hold a defensive stance and gain BP then dish out offence by spending BP to take multiple actions.

The music is arguably the best you'll hear in any video game, period. Composed by Revo, head of Sound Horizon and composer for Attack on Titan,

the soundtrack he has made for the series got so popular it breached the niche jrpg series and got somewhat mainstream, assembling millions of streams on Spotify and getting entire concerts.

While the graphics don't hold a candle to OT2 (being a 2013 3ds game and all), the art style is still very

charming, having pre-rendered backgrounds like old PS1 and N64 games and adopting chibi models for the characters.

The story is heavily inspired by FF The 4 Heroes of Light, but it is still good nonetheless, having charming characters like the rizzler Ringabel and some plot twists along the way.

Like yes both games are visually amazing, but there are more to these games than looking amazing, they have great gameplay that allows freedom, music that slaps and characters that are peak and I will ramble about all the main characters in both games and why each of them have peak stories.

Browsing the eshop like 5 years ago and seeing the first game's demo was when I fell down a rabbit hole, especially since I started with the character that had the most gay coded chapter 1 I've ever seen and it made me crave for more. So when I got the first game proper, it got me through 2020/2021.

Then how i absolutely exploded down the line when the second game and the remake of Kirby's return to Dreamland were coming out on the same day made me so happy (Kirby is another big hyperfixation of mine, be ready for that too), I had the best time ever enjoying both of those games.

Octopath's pixel art makes me want to eat it every time, the dynamic music makes my ears moan and each of the party members (especially Partitio~) aaaaugh I love every aspect of these games. I need more people to play them and I think many rpg players will love them to pieces!

When I found out aquire, the people who made these two games, made Mario & luigi brothership I was also stacked and I've been loving that game too and I hope aquire doesn't get bought out by anyone that would take away octopeak away from me. I need a third game and will make out with the devs for it

And I promise you unlike certain people (I won't name names) i won't go into a rant about how you have shallow tastes and you should broaden your rpg tastes for other series so you feel less motivated to try because you got told to play other games rudley. I'll just say, like peak? Here's more peak!
