Summary: After the credits rolled on Octopath Traveler, I took a 15-minute break before I sat back down, grabbed my controller, and went back to my save file to play more. This, in spite of the fact I’d played 53 hours on my journey to complete the path of Therion, the thief whose story I’d chosen at the beginning. The more I played, the more I loved it. Going in, I’d expected little more than a charming but run-of-the-mill homage to the 16-bit RPGs I grew up playing.
