I didn't even get to the combat because the stories are all so bland and such a chore to sit through that no matter how good the combat is it doens't justify playing a 100 hour game where I just want to skip every cutscene

I think the combats are great, graphics (including the 8bit look) which they brought up to modern look

Gorgeous graphics and a great combat system

The combat is great too as you get to set up a 4 man team and battle how you like, but remember whomever you start with will always be in your team.

Fresh JRPG combat twists.

The game is beautiful, it's soundtrack is amazing, combat feels great and controls fit like a glove

The combat is so satisfying

Combat is hard but very good

It has some wonderful combat and a beautiful style, but I cannot overlook the complete lack of character building and the vapid story

Fresh JRPG combat twists.

Beautiful graphics, EXCELLENT combat and job system

The combat and gameplay in this game is extremely fun and grinding is actually a joy

Combat is AWESOME

First off, I know this game has a lot of 5/5 stars here, so I may be in the minority, but long story short I feel like this game has good combat but not much else

Octopath Traveler is a great game, and I would absolutely recommend it to any JRPG fans that enjoy a dynamic and rewarding combat system

Amazing music and great turn based combat

You will grind, but the combat is very fun

Very good turn based combat.

Great and deep combat, story and graphics, which pay homage to classic RPGs, Though be warned: the late game can be a bit of a

Combat is fun and easy to pick up with a few unique twists and spins on what you'd normally expect from a JRPG combat system

n’t compare it to anything, but I like the combat system
