Octopath Fans: Discover Your Next RPG Obsession!! 

The hero I needed as I am about to clear my backlog after years of work lol. Glad I clicked this randomly suggested video.

Can confirm, Unicorn Overlord is a great game. The only thing it needs in my opinion after logging more than 100 hours is for the maps to have some sort of level scaling. There are 3 places you can go after the first main mission, and if you choose to brave one of the higher level areas first, the lower level areas with very different stories don’t change level. Having all the regions start out the same level and having the missions adapt to your current level in a way would have increased the quality so much higher

Unicorn Overlord is a pretty good contender for my GOTY. Highly recommend for those wanting to customize your units with great detail in terms of combat behavior. Very similar to FF12's Gambit System.

Yes I’m still obsessed with OT2 lol thanks so much for this!

I was hooked on chained echoes on release. I loved every bit of it

Glad I decided to click on this random video in my recommended. I loved Octopath and I think you've finally convinced me to pick up Triangle Strategy and Live A Live. Good recommendations!

Fantastic list. I have (and love) almost all the games on this list. :)

Thank you for the recommendations

Great vid !

I really hope that we can get a better translation for eiyuden chronicles in the future. The one we have now is worse than fire emblem fate’s english translation

Sea of Stars is good too. It's battle system is like Chrono Trigger's mixed with Super Mario RPG's "Timed" hits/blocks.

sick list!

Good recs

Octopath Traveler 2 was amazing, Bravely Default 2 (for me) not so much there's no summons either and no reviewer mentioned that smh. i'll check out one or 2 of the others in your list thanks. Your missing Live A Live I believe thts the name.

listen, thank you for making this list some people might find it helpful. For me this doesn't work non of these games have the elevation of octopath traveler II if I'm going into details in short could be basically: Story, music, gameplay, exploration and graphics compete on the same level as persona, FF, dragon quest and yakuza. I prefer wait for octopath traveler III than play any of the game of your list, eventhough I played some of the games you named such as live a live (story short, no connection) I want it to see something like chrono triggers but nah, then unicorn overlord Autobattle is not my thing is a big turn off. Chained echoes like you said is made by 1 developer a huge acchieve, however it feels too linear, combat is average at best and not interested in story. This should be a good game for me, but in my opinion is incomplete. Now some games that I would like to add is Grand phantasy re link, eiyuden hundred heroes, omori and even (I'm so mad for saying this) star ocean R second story is better than the majority of the games you displayed.

You forgot trails into daybreak.

Nah fam, I couldn't take Eiyuden Chronicles, I cannot take games without quality of life stuff anymore. I don't have the time to be annoying myself with dumb devs oversights. BUt all these recommendations are solid. And don't you dare mentioning Unicorn overlord to me, My heart is so broken that they didn't release it to PC.

I beat the dreadwolf with only ochette. Proof on my account

I didn't like the first one, tbh. That narrative, where allies are right there by your side, but at the same time are not there storywise just killed the immersion to me.

How to sneak actually good games at the end of list of overrated fluff.

what? no random encounters? what kind of RPG is this?
