Octopath Traveler shows how Nintendo Switch could be a JRPG beast

I love playing Japanese role-playing games, but I rarely play them on a TV or computer. Portable systems have spoiled me.

Yes, I’m still playing these games at home … just not on a big screen. I work from my home office, so I don’t play an hour of a game on the train. But I have a found my favorite time to play JRPGs: right before bed, alternating between sitting up or laying down. This is how I’m playing Octopath Traveler, Square Enix’s new JRPG for the Switch. Nintendo’s new system makes playing a JRPG more comfortable than ever before.
