I don’t mean hours played, I mean by the day you bought it, how many days did it take for you to beat it? I find the game fun but a chore at the same time and haven’t even beaten it yet so I’m curious if others are in the same boat as me.

level 1

I havent beaten it yet either but mostly cause I dont get a lot of time to play it. I really gotta stop trying to do all the side missions and just finish the game

level 2

I mean I almost got everybody on chapter 4, but how do you do side missions? They are so random like a guy tell you "I want to be safe" (or something like that) and then you need to defeat some guy, but sometimes is like, I want to be somewhere but instead of making following you, you need to give him information abut the place .... but without a guide how do you finish all this side quests?

level 1

Got it at launch (July) and just finished a week ago. Thats at less than an hour a day or going a couple days without playing. I think total time was around 60 hours or around there

level 2

Can I ask how? I’m almost at 50 hours and just finished everyone’s second chapter. I find myself having to grind with the start of each new set of chapters. I feel like I’m missing something but I feel like I understand the mechanics just fine. Plz halp

level 1

I love playing it when I need a nice chill game to relax to. It's great on airplanes or before bed. You can always depend on a session of Octopath to be satisfying.

Bought it in July and I'm in Chapter 3. Took a long break after Chapter 2 for Hollow Knight (because caman it's Hollow Knight). I really like how each chapter you slowly realize more complexities of the battle system and different things you need to focus on. Recently I'm realizing the importance of prioritizing item management and healing, wheras before going max damage always worked.

level 1

I started in early-mid August. My switch broke and needed to be sent for repairs in early September. I’ve currently finished all the chapter 3’s, so still over a quarter of the game to go. It started as a 7/10 for me but evolved as I played it longer into a 9/10. The story and boss battles are what keep me moving forward.

Definitely a slow, slow burn, though. This game is like the Better Call Saul of video games.

level 2

Boss fights are probably what helps me push forward, they’re so much fun but standard battles make me wish that this game had an auto battle system.

level 2

Except Better Call Saul actually has good writing.

level 1

120 hours until the final fight, granted a lot of those hours I suspect was afk time trying to keep my kids from killing themselves.

level 2

So like... you didnt read ops post.

level 1

I stopped 3/4 of the way through the chapter 2's and went back to Xenoblade.

I wanted to like Octopath, but I just find it so dull and tedious.

level 2

I really wanted to as well but...jesus christ this game is just the worst. It's not even like Earthbound where, the characters and writing make you push through despite some of downfalls. This game is just rinse and repeat boring as fuck.

level 2

I'm polar opposite to you, I found xc2 dull and tedious.. Never went back to it after 7 hours.

level 1

I just hit my demo limit, probably picking up the full game this weekend

level 2

Demo was great, it’s what made me want to pick it up and I feel most people too.
