Xenoblade Chronicles 1 is just as story-based as Xenoblade Chronicles 2 but a lot more grounded. Though not 100% the same, you'll get an idea of what to expect regarding the battle system and general world (re: how explorable it is). If you want to get a feel for what Xenoblade 2's battle system is like, and have a decent computer on you, you can grab Dolphin and give its predecessor, the first Xenoblade Chronicles that came out for Wii, a spin. It features some very large maps to explore as you roam from Titan to Titan if you think you'd like to do so. However, Xenoblade's world is far more actively explorable (Monolith's team which made this game was also responsible for helping to create Breath of the Wild's world) than Octopath Traveler's. Its graphical style is a bit more anime, kind of like "Trails of" series, and is not quite as grounded as Octopath's fantasy world and characters seems to be. That was about when I started to really like the battle system, and wish they had had everything unlocked from the start. I enjoyed the battle system just fine, but felt it took until everything was unlocked (bursting elemental orbs and being able to switch between more than two blades and doing chain attacks) for it to really hit its stride. You see all the enemies on screen and battle them by just approaching them and engaging, which some people like better. Xenoblade Chronicles 2, meanwhile, is an action-based RPG with no random encounters. Reviews also claim you'll have to do a bit of grinding due to difficulty spikes. This means you will be dealing with a turn-based battle system and random encounters, and sprite-like graphics and a smaller world. Octopath tends to follow the old, traditional JRPG style of games. But I've only played the demo for Octopath a few times. anything objectively "better." I can vouch for Xenoblade having put over 140 hours into it, and having very much enjoyed it, though it's a bit different in tone (more lighthearted) than its predecessor. So "better" here is probably up to personal preference vs. Well, to be fair, they are two very different games in the JRPG genre.
