>>36190563>Octopath TravelerThe world can be explored in any direction you want to go as the only thing that's an obstacle is the levels of these areas with only purely plot related areas locked down. For an in-battle mechanic each turn a Pokemon gains a little more power that can be activated at any time to boost the power of a move (up to three times). This includes status moves, such as boosting Swords Dance to max attack with three boosts or boosting Morning Sun to raise HP to full.
