Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler II
Triangle Strategy

Bravely Default is pretty bad too

+1 for octopath. Such a weird name.

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Pretty fitting name. You have 8 characters and you travel their path with them. Couldn't be more fitting to be honest.

It sounds extremely weird as a native English speaker. Makes you think of an octopus.

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

You mean that animal which is know for its 8 feet?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 week ago

Wait, octopath isn't about an octopus??

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Nope its a pretty standard anime style jrpg

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

It’s “fitting” but that doesn’t make it a good name

[-] Iapar@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Not by itself but it certainly is a good criteria.

All three games are great, however. The names, no so much. This also reminds me of Romancing Saga, also by Square.

Definitely good games! Just weird names
