Anybody playing Octopath Traveler?

It has everything I hate in a JRPG, but now I want to finish it out of spite. Out of the stories, I only really like 3. 1 is Anime bullshit, but I'm fine with it. The other 2 are anime bullshit chapter 1s, but I'm fine since that makes more sense for the game. The other 5 are utterly pointless or excessively dumb. Like the dancer ladies story is so mean and dark compared to the rest, and yet she's with you on this journey? It's like FF15 all over again. "Oh my fathers dead and the kingdom is in ruin? Better go save this cat!" And that stuff is almost mandatory with how much things scale up. I got all the characters, but the next chapters required level 23+. My first character was level 15. Holy shit they expect a grind. I'm trying to finish it out of spite...but goddamn.
