    Wow, this game sounds incredible! 😍 The sheer scale and detail are impressive—handcrafted worlds, hundreds of NPCs, and so many enemy types to battle. The fast-paced, turn-based combat inspired by Octopath Traveler sounds like it’ll keep things engaging. I’m especially excited about the variety of regions and the depth of quests and challenges. The optional dynamic tutorial and quest tracker are nice touches that should make the game more accessible. Looking forward to seeing how this project develops! Have you backed it already?

    Wow, this "The Brothers" RPG sounds incredibly ambitious! Here are some thoughts after looking over the Kickstarter page (thanks for the link!):

    Huge World & Content: A massive open world with 6 party members, 4 continents, and tons of quests is impressive. It's great that the world is hand-crafted too, that can really make a difference in immersion.
    Combat System: The combat system inspired by Octopath Traveler sounds interesting, especially with attack boosting and exploiting enemy weaknesses.
    Tons to Do: Hundreds of quests, challenges, trophies, achievements, mini-games, and even arcade machines! There's something for everyone here.
    Quality of Life Features: The unobtrusive tutorial, detailed journal, and optional quest tracker are all great additions that players will appreciate.
    Overall, this looks like a very promising RPG for fans of the genre, especially those who enjoy sprawling open worlds and deep customization. A few questions come to mind:

    Story: The focus seems to be on world size and content, but is there a central story that ties everything together?
    Visuals: The Kickstarter page is text-heavy, are there any visuals (screenshots, concept art) to show off the art style?
    Balance: With such a massive world and so much to do, how will you ensure the game maintains a good pace and avoids feeling overwhelming?
    I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this project! Good luck with the Kickstarter campaign!
