Games Like Octopath Traveler 2 On Game Pass
Since the release of Octopath Traveler, some have tried to utilize the same sprite-like models in front of a 3D background. One such example is Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising. It has an entertaining game loop of going through 2D levels and picking up loot after defeating enemies and scrounging the environment. The story is also not that bad, and the game only lasts around 15 hours.
If you're looking for a cute JRPG to play, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is something you should try as well. It has a stunning Studio Ghibli-created world and you're collecting familiars (adorable creatures like Pokemon) as you proceed through a dramatic, yet joyful storyline.
