I have 50 hours on this fantastic sequel, and I haven't finished it yet, but I can say that I'm really satisfied with Octopath Traveler 2, it's the sequel to a game that had some good ideas, but which also had some big flaws, for example the way the characters' stories were told and also a fairly "schematic" progression.
now, in Octopath Traveler 2 some flaws remain, it is not a perfect game, but it has really improved, in fact I found some great characters in the game world, and very exciting stories (even the least appreciated character has a good story) and a much improved narrative, although some uncertainties remain. the combat system is the same as the first game, with the difference that now travelers can use latent powers, nice but not a great innovation. the game shines on the artistic and musical direction, a truly large and beautiful game world to explore, accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack. Furthermore, compared to Octopath Traveler 1, more secondary content has been added both during the game and in the endgame. in conclusion, if you loved Octopath Traveler 1, you will like this sequel even more, you will also like it if you are a big fan of turn-based role-playing games and above all fans of the first Final Fantasy games.
