I remember buying this game as soon as it was released for the Switch in 2018 and absolutely falling in love with it. Now, 8 years later, I'm playing the PS5 port, and I have the biggest smile across my face because it reminds me of that first playthrough I had on the Switch.

going from location to location, and meeting up with the different party members, is one of my favorite parts of this game, because I love it when a JRPG encourages me to explore every inch of its world. And I'm glad to say that I still have the same awe and sense of wonder as I did when I played it back then, mostly because it's been 8 years since I played this game lol

I'm working on my 5th character at the moment (Ha'anit), and seeing the different stories playing out reminds me of when I was a kid just getting into RPGs with Final Fantasy VI and being LOCKED into the backstories of the different characters in that game. Still to this day, this game is one of the best JRPGs I've ever played, and I hope to be able to experience these same feelings with the sequel when I finally get around to playing it.

Playing Octopath Traveler again on PS5, and it made me think about the first time I played it
