January 4, 20232 yr It was a difficult choice between Octopath Traveler II and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but in the end, I went with Octopath Traveler II. While I am excited to see where Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes the story, especially since we are now treading in new waters with that game, I was not expecting to see a sequel to Octopath Traveler, which has become one of my favorite games due to its nostalgic art style and music that have both been updated for modern times, as well as its fun gameplay. Not only does the sequel have more of those things, but it also seems to address one of the major criticisms with the original game: that all eight of the main characters' stories were separate and didn't overlap with each other. It's for those reasons that Octopath Traveler II is my most anticipated Square-Enix game of 2023.
