Octopath Traveler 2 is probably one of the most impactful games I've got to play in recent years, and has not left my mind ever since I first beat it two years ago. I replay it often, and with as much excitement and fervor as I did the first time - only with the ever-growing adoration for it. It is the one game I will always recommend to my friends, and if I can manage to convince even one person to give this experience a try - I will be so thankful.
On top of being one of the most gorgeous games I've ever got to enjoy, it has some of the most fun gameplay I've had the pleasure of playing, with lovely combat mechanics and expanded options with the second jobs, leaving a TON of customization options and ways to play this. Of course, it is only amplified by the wonderful cast of characters, which had me smile, weep and root for until the very end and even more.
Of course, this couldn't be a review without giving due compliments to the OST, which is probably one of my Top 3 favorites of all time. I'm afraid they've taken over my Spotify : to say it as simply as I can, it is absolutely, definitely brilliant.
For those who played Octopath Traveler 1 and were somewhat disappointed by the rythmn, scenario, quality of life, character interactions... I beg you to give this second game a chance, because it is in every way a massive improvement. And for those for liked the first game, and would like to try the second : do it, and never look back.

- Gorgeous graphics and runs very well
- TON of content, with side-quests, character stories, epilogues, and a wonderful gameplay to boot
- Tear-jerking, passionate set of characters and stories you will definitely grow to enjoy and love
- Some slower segments at time, especially for some of the middle-late game grinding
- While absolutely improved on the one, I would love to see even more character interactions and maybe some more epilogue
- Has not had enough sales for the masterpiece that it is
