Bummed to basically get confirmation that the characters never really meaningfully interact. Well... they are definitely trying something different with the story, and some of us were saying that's what we wanted a company to try and do, so fingers crossed.
@Yorumi Just make sure you don't rush to try and do as much as you can in the demo!
I did that but I completely rushed it trying to complete the first three characters
I'm just starting from the very beginning again, probably with Tressa.
It seems like a game where all characters are so different from each other that the level of enjoyment will vary greatly from player to player. I already seen people picking their favourites and I guess that's what the demo was for: to be able to select the character you're enjoying the most, so you can continue the game with the story that is the most exciting for you when the game is out.
Woke up this morning, checked my Switch and heard that little chime indicating software had finished downloading (and for Captain Toad, of course).
Gotta love that sound. Off to work, but Octopath is coming with me 😀

I've spent my playtime so far recruiting the 8 characters again but it's been even better without the time limit! It's good to see a game live up to the hype.
The path actions are surprisingly more useful than I expected and I'm making a point of talking to everyone when I visit a new town. Cyrus seems to have a better path action than I initially thought, I didn't realise it would let you find valuable items, get discounts and other useful things
@Yorumi Yeah she's able to do a lot more than I initially thought, I do find it strange that she uses arrows and wind magic but to be honest I can't think of a weapon set for a merchant Her skills also seem a little overpowered but I guess most other characters can be just as useful if used correctly.
I just started up the game today and got my save data loaded in from the demo- I had just beat the first big boss in Primrose's Path.
But I'm really really really sucked in to YS VIII right now, and to make matters worse Captain Toad also just released, although I think I'll save that one for short 10 minute burst play sessions on the go.
But I have to work both days this weekend, and that's a huge opportunity for me to get several hours of game time in, especially on Sunday. I'll be playing quite a bit come Sunday.

Started the game. I am enjoying it so far but finding the multi character aspect a little overwhelming. I don't like having to many options at once as I worry I will forget about something and miss out.
Game looks great and sounds great. Been playing it with by over-the-heads on which are of a good quality and the music is amazing. I also switched it to Japanese so it feels more authentic and also I can read quicker than the spoken dialect so can skip on the text without feeling bad.
Overall good and looking forward to settling into it. Just need to stop stressing at to much to do!
