I really don't mind that the other party members don't interject in character's individual stories. It would have been nice but honestly I don't think it would have added as much. I think the Travel Banter scenes are sufficient to let you know that the characters interact (I think every chapter of every story I've done so far has had at least 2). The crossover stories are good.

In Octopath 3 (HOPEFULLY IT GETS MADE, I really like this series), I would like to see more of the crossover stories, and definitely an update to the main 8 jobs. Having the same ones with a few tweaks is nice but a new set would be great.

I'm about 20 hours in and have done a few of chapter 2s so far after gathering every character. My favorites so far are Partitio and Osvald (which makes me glad their crossover stories are with each other).

The problem I had with Octopath 1 doing this was that it made it feel like the characters were just combat functions who were only "traveling together" so you could have more characters in the party

They all felt pretty generic because they didn't play off of each others' personalities or develop their own stories in any intertwining way that would justify them coming together, at least not as far as I played before I stopped playing

Live A Live was a much better approach towards what Octopath was trying to do and they probably should have just done that

100%

OT team should have learned their lesson and actually tried with this sequel in these regards.
