OCTOPATH TRAVELER

Octopath traveler, as it name of the game, each letter of 'OCTOPATH' consist of 8 fore letter of each character names:
Ophilia, Cyrus, Tressa, Olberic, Primrose, Alfyn, Therion, Ha'anit. Throwback J-RPG for 80-90s gamers

Main Audience Players Targetted
Game suit for those experienced 90s JRPG such as Classic Final Fantasy, Golden Sun on GBA Platform, or even classic Pokemon turn based Nintendo RPG, also who interested in Turn based RPG games.

Gameplay
Game intro start with easy with no difficulty options, Pick 1 character and journey to adventures until met with other 7 characters with different storylines, Game will features chapters mostly 30-40 hours for 1st character, next character storyline should be breeze afterward. Huge difficulty spike after half of the game, really grindy with an awesome orchestratic battle themes. Each type of bosses feature different Battle Themes which really hype the battle mode. Basically Turn based J-RPG with shortened dungeon unlike Classic RPG, exception for POST-GAME DUNGEON..WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLY HARD IF GOING BLINDLY WITH PERFECT IMPECCABLE STRATEGY BATTLE, ONE MISTAKE = GAME OVER, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Voice Actor
Some dialogue may be cheesy especially intro, but some scene features Voice Acting, powerful voice acting fit into each situation, sorrow, anger, joyful, boss-battle voice acting. 8.5/10

OST
Soundtrack 10/10 No joke, each characters has it own Theme, Motif Theme, Hyping intro Boss Battle Theme, Boss Battle Theme, Hidden Bosses Theme, All of it Orchestral Soundtrack, some even better than Final Fantasy OST, not gonna lie.

Graphics
IDK... pixelated graphics? should be 3-4/10 rating but still cute thoo, really JRPG 90's Throwback graphic, but movement just like 3D.

Conclusion
For those really likened Turn based Throwback RPG, I truly recommend this great game, slow start with cliche storyline until getting heavy plot for some of characters, but post game contents really mindblown mentally, if you aim until post game contents should be above 100 Hours gameplay time, some may said wait for sales.... but the game offered you more than 100 Hours for normal pace first playthrough, Not gonna lie again OST + SFX really kicking 10/10.

P/S: You're legend if you passed final true boss in post game contents.
