But for me, I love the general design of Octopath as a game, so I still played through all of 1 for that sake. It’s just not something that’ll blow you away as much as 2 did. I forgot Hogwarts legacy existed when I finally got really into ot2.Īnyways. With that being said, at least in my opinion, a step down from OT2 is still quite a good game, because OT2 was absolutely killer. There’s a few other QoL things and such as well but you’ll hear about more of it from other commenters. The characters are also not as well-written. If you played Octopath on 2x battle speed, lol, good luck with mentally handling the slow ass fights in OT1. The graphics/art/whatever is a solid step down.

Going backwards is definitely rough, take it from someone who did it. But a little worse still.Ī lotta people here did ot1->2 so they don’t know the true impact of the changes. Solve side quests and story scenarios in a few different ways and take decisions that shape your path.You ever play pikmin 3 then try to go back to pikmin 1? Kinda similar vibe.
