I want to give the #JRPG genre a try. I have been thinking about this for more than a year and I eventually settled on #OctopathTraveler as the perfect JRPG (probably). And now there is that second dilemma: Should I play the first one or skip to the second one? The Internet claims the games are unrelated and the second one is simply better.
@shinjiikarus so other people in replies told me to play the first one first so I leave myself “room” to play the second one as well in case I like the first one.
@darth I would suggest you to start with classic like Chrono Trigger or modern jrpgs like Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes.
Octapath is not that much for beginners of that genre.
@sorg I played a tiny bit of Octopath 1, maybe 2 hours? And it already made me cry. Not sure how is that possible, tbh, I am not usually that sensitive to game stories.
@darth I'd still recommend the first. I've talked several people into trying Octopath, always with the first one, and they've always loved it. Afterward, if you want more, the second one will feel like an upgrade; if you start with the second, playing the first will feel frustrating.
