Yay, got the sub 1 here. Still a bit more that could be taken off, but I'mma try some other chars before bringing this down a bit further.

So, Octopath. I bought a Switch fairly recently, just a bit under 2 months ago. Figured I was going to have to for new Pokemon games at some point, and I've been interested for a while anyway. It's a pretty decent deal for me to do this, I have huge problems actually buying things in general. Switch is the first non (fully) handheld console I've ever bought myself.

So I tried out a bunch of demos, including a lot of titles I'd heard of, and nothing held my attention at all. Then I started this game, which I'd not even heard of until that day. Within 4 minutes of playing the demo I knew I was gonna buy the full game, fell head over heels in love. So I put it down and waited until then. I started playing it after ASM, and put in over 70 hours within a week, beat the whole game. It was the first time I'd gotten joy to the highest level out of a entirely new game/series for about 14 years (would've been around then I played Golden Sun 2 for the first time. Not including Pokemon/Sonic in that, since those aren't new series to me, and the games from those series I have enjoyed to that extent over that time are off a base that already existed)

I just absolutely loved it. And I loved that I loved it. It feels great to know I can still get that kind of joy from new games. I'm not just getting old! Almost every single aspect of the game was just exactly what I want out of games, whereas most things seem to be the complete opposite. Just felt like such a personal experience the whole time.

But yeah, so then I had to prepare for PSR marathon, but now that's finished, so I thought I may as well give some speedruns a try. I just wanna keep playing the game, and speedrunning is always a great way to get more replay value out of games. Looking forward to playing a lot more in the future!

Tl;dr: If you don't know what this game is, play it, it's fantastic.
