I'm glad you're excited!! I am too!!! When I'm not too tired, that is!!!!
I must have spent many hours playing through both Bravely Default games (I ended up going through the second one twice because I missed the obvious thing you were supposed to do during its time loop thing, and it just let me continue so I thought I had to do that... pfft!), but they're the sort of games I completely forget about for the most part, even though I enjoyed them well enough. I suppose I must have found their mechanics fine but nothing worth remembering? I can't remember how they played at all. I tend to pay less attention to mechanics than to story though.
I'm only vaguely aware of Octopath Traveler, mostly from comments here, so I've added that to my list to something I should probably play!
