What makes you guys think the game looks better than Octopath?

The combat system seems better for one, with the lack of random encounters and timed hits.

The world map seems like it will be more interesting, just based on what little has been shown. Octopath only really had towns and combat areas, and the towns were arranged in a really boring/predictable pattern to service its boring/predictable four-act structure. Sea of Stars isn't constrained by that and looks like it will have actual puzzles and more interaction with the environment.

The vibe of the game also captures the feel of a 90s RPG better too-- and the developer already has succeeded in creating a game inspired by retro games.

The Messenger wasn't my favorite game ever, but it was solid enough that it gives me a lot of confidence in them.

I think I just convinced myself to back this.
