It's just more of the first game, but with different stories dude.

It'd be wrong to say there isn't improvements or changes, but at the same time if you didn't enjoy Octo 1, you likely aren't gonna find this game that much better (if you enjoyed the soundtrack it is also just available on spotify if you don't care for context, which is probably the biggest selling point this game has)

I guess are the other characters stories more compelling this time?

I can forgive the gameplay loop if I get a good story. OT1 would have been just fine if it didn't come in hot with Primrose's back story then slow down. Bravely Default I is a perfect example and will be a re-play once it is on Steam in a year or so.

The gameplay has had a lot of improvements over OT1 and in my opinion the game looks visually better too (it feels like more work has been put into the sprites of both characters and enemies).
Characters also have more unique tricks to diversify them more than just by their jobs.

The base formula is still there though; it's still a turn-based rpg in the end so make of that what you will.

For story I wouldn't say all of them are as great as Primrose's but I personally found them more memorable than what OT1 had (OT1's characters/stories didn't quite as well to me as these have at least).

Probably says a lot that I'm currently replaying the game and having a good time still. (I've first played when it released)

Steam sales are a powerful drug. I bought both :3

As just a straight stick RPG to goof off and play on your down time OT1 isn’t bad at all.

the easy way too check is see how well the modding department works or doesnt that way you can pick and choose for yourself if its worth it :}

i dont buy any square E games because they remove most of the diff fun aspects of the last versions with little patches or fixs for the products they make .{

EDIT: i just noticed that they did a demo for part 2 of O T:}

They are both good games once you get used to them :)
