Comment on Octopath Traveler 0 – Announcement Trailer
Mist101@lemmy.world 4 days agoWhen you say padded, do you mean like most anime where they just add unnecessary conflict to fill out the story, or was it more like extra steps to get to the main story?
The one thing I didn’t enjoy so much from 1 was the way each story followed the exact same arch.

The main story points are further apart level-wise, leading to more grinding. There’s also more fluff side story content involving multiple characters instead of just one. Which isn’t bad in itself, but none of it is actually optional because of the leveling curve.
The way it was done, the story beats for individual character plot arcs are very far apart. 30 hours in, I only had a few characters through the second parts of their stories.
