I just finished playing Octopath Traveler

I just finished playing Octopath Traveler, a game unlike any other I have every played for, rather than a single plotline, the tale is the eight journeys of eight very remarkable, very different people – all traveling for their own reasons. Olberic, a traveling swordsman seeking to regain the reason for swinging his blade; Primrose, a bewitching dancer out to avenge her father's murder; Alfyn, an apothecary chasing a man from his youth, traveling for the aid of others; Therion, a lone thief seeking to recover the Dragonstones and his pride; H'aanit, a brave and beautiful huntress searching for her lost master; Ophelia, a kind cleric inheriting her friend's journey, and duty of the Kindling; Cyrus, a sagacious scholar pursuing the mystery of a lost forbidden tome; and Tressa, an innocent merchant traveling a world replete with treasure.

Each of course getting caught up in affairs somewhat larger than anticipated, becoming friends and learning much about the world and themselves even as a dark threat, a Black Flame, a Fallen God, ties it all together. It was a joy getting to know and traveling with them across the vastness of Orsterra, bearing witness to their triumphsand tragedies alike, unto the journey's end.
