looking for a similar game that is not pixel art

Well, it kinda depends on what you mean by "similar game." A lot of Octopath Traveler's appeal is the art style, because AAA RPGs that use pixel art are pretty rare nowadays.

If you're looking for games with turn-based, menu-driven battle systems that use 3D models, check out Dragon Quest XI, Trails of Cold Steel, Atelier Ryza, Divinity: Original Sin, or Persona 3 / 4 / 5.

If you're looking for open-world RPGs... well, they're a dime a dozen, although admittedly most of them have real-time combat. Obvious big names are the Witcher, Elder Scrolls, and Dragon Age series. Oh, and there's Elden Ring, too.

Most of the games I could think of that are actually fairly similar in style to Octopath Traveler -- lots of recruitable characters with a reasonable amount of exploration but also linear stories -- also tend to have sprite-based artwork, like SaGa Frontier or Chained Echoes.

If you're looking for a similar battle system, Bravely Default 1/2 uses a similar mechanic and was made by the same devs and it's got the more 3D art style.

Bravely Default II is very similar to Octopath Traveler, but the graphics are better. Check it out.

Lost Obesy. You'll need to buy a used copy and have a functioning Xbox360, but hey, It's not pixel art. ^_^

If you sepcifically want multi path RPG stuff, Live a Live (though that's pixel art), Radiant Histroia (but pixel art), Undertale (questionably pixel art?) Oh, there's also the 0 Escape series, though those are point and click puzzlers with lots of story and branching paths (but not pixel art, yay~!)
