What do we think of the new Octopath game, bros? Will you be buying it?
yeah
shame that OT1 never had a physical release for PS4/5
>>717013552It's coming to everything.
https://www.square-enix-games.com/es_XL/news/octopath-traveler-0
>This new entry in the acclaimed RPG series comes to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Windows, and Steam on December 4, 2025.
>>717013112 (OP)Probably gonna sound weird, but the Character creation and EVERYONE IS HERE gives me more worry then hype.
>>717013552Pretty sure its coming to every system.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3014320/OCTOPATH_TRAVELER_0/
Companies just dont show competitors console logos during 3rd party game reveals.
And Nintendo does not even show PC.
The game has a physical release for switch 1, and a game key card release for switch 2, so I'm only getting it for Switch 1 then.
>>717013552Its also on Steam.
>dumbed down gacha game
Will pirate it while I keep playing on my 600+ hour account
>>717013112 (OP)No, the first one really wasn't very good.
>>717013112 (OP)>gacha spinoff of a game that was already middling at bestI'm good
>explore the who gives a fuck lives of these 8 people
no
>>717014206No. They took the mobile version of Octopath CotC and reworked it to remove the gacha and add enhancements to make it more in line with the other versions. It basically got the fantasian neo dimension treatment
>>717014206It's not.
https://kotaku.com/octopath-traveler-0-gacha-champions-continent-remake-1851787459
>In a statement to Kotaku, a Square Enix representative confirmed Octopath Traveler 0 is reworking Champions of the Continent to let you recruit new party members throughout the story, rather than through a gacha system.>โOctopath Traveler 0 restructures the story of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent with new interpretations, but it is a new core entry in the series without gacha or other common mobile game mechanics,โ the statement reads. โThe game mechanics work for players to encounter allies in various ways throughout the story and the journey.โ
>>717014530well that's nice
>>717013112 (OP)>still no fat playable character155 hours on 1 and 2. im so tired of this, i'll pass this time

>>717015021he's just thicc. i want something like Pom
>>717013112 (OP)Only if they remove the stupid fucking format of making it 8 separate storylines you play through
Best part of this series is Elizapath Traveler
Will my wife Ochette be in it?
>>717015286HE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO GAMBLE HIS REAL LIFE MONEY ON LOOT BOXES
>>717014698Have we seen all 15 playable characters well enough to know that?
>>717013112 (OP)So it is a port of the phone game with added stuff? I see Tytos the Hero in the trailer.
>>717014076This is an expanded port of the first arc of the gacha. I guess the OT2 arc will get its own game eventually as well.
2B was in the gacha, is she in this game
I was looking at some stuff from the mobile game and realized it's apparently had crossovers with
>Bravely Default
>Triangle Strategy
>Live A Live
>Nier Automata
I assume none of those are making the cut.
>>717013112 (OP)Only if there's cute loli-ish or flat girl party members. I'm going to need about 8 or more of them to make a full party.
>>717013112 (OP)>Tressa is in itInstant buy
>>717016415They'd be paid DLC at best.
Was Triangle Strategy any good?
>>717017084No. OT2 was decent though.
>>717017084yes, but it has A LOT of talking before you actually get to play the game at a decent pace
>>717017084No, it really wasn't. Absolutely terrible game, boring story, boring characters, boring combat. Awful stuff.
>>717017084I liked it a lot.
The early chapters have a LOT of dialogue since it's trying to set up the world, but once you reach chapter 5 or so it goes down to a much more manageable amount.
Due to the path choosing system you can do about 2 playthroughs where most maps will be entirely unique, so it's got a lot to do.
>>717015596God Ochette is so fucking hot hnnnnngh
>>717013112 (OP)Feels like these games are coming out too quickly desu, didn't Octopath 2 just drop?
>>717015596That is one ugly and off model representation of Ochette, never post that eyesore again.

>>717016415Considering it's meant to be the gacha story but taken wholly on its own with nobody else (except the OT1 cast because uh) I sincerely doubt it's getting the collab characters.
Which is a shame, since they're all in-house so there's no licensing reason for them to be excluded (but then look at the Mega Man release that cut MH and DMC costumes, there's precedent already). Who knows, OT2 got a random update a year later with some fanservice stuff, it could happen again. DLC is more likely though if anything.
Also you forgot Cecil.
>>717018219>OT2 got a random update a year later with some fanservice stuff,It did?
I played it on release but not since, what's new?
>>717018219So if this is a remake of the mobile game what characters from the mobile game are going to be in it? Or will it be all new characters? Also are any of the mobile characters actually fun and cool like Partitio?
>>717014495>It basically got the fantasian neo dimension treatmentFantasian was just a port, Neo Dimension was the same as the base game with some additions. Nothing was reworked since nothing needed to be, it was a full game released onto Apple Arcade, not a f2p mobage or gacha.
>>717018548Arena fights against the OT1 cast and a Vide rematch that's about on the level of Galdera. That's it really, but I wasn't expecting anything at all so it's still pleasantly surprising.
>>717019109Oh some superboss content?
Might be able to justify a second playthrough
>>717013112 (OP)>reworked gacha game>8 characters at once>no job change autismNah
>>717013112 (OP)So is this custom protagonist any class you want or are they locked into Warrior? Because that wasn't really clear based on the previews.
>>717013112 (OP)THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS THREAD I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN OTHERWISE
I WAS PRAYING EVERYDAY FOR A NEW OCTOPATH TO COME OUT
At the end of the trailer, the guy calls it "Octopus Traveler Zero" and I will not buy such a game.
so is there anything "grand" in the storylines of the previous games? anything actually memorable? are these throwaway SE jrpgs which are the equivalent of junk food? never seen a single person talk about the stories so i assume it's trash for the lowest common denominator nostalgiafags
Octopath was literally just a cash in on jrpgโs. It was made on a piss poor budget with as little effort as possible and presented as a NIS title. This shit is fucking disgusting
>>717016415>>717016064They literally confirmed no gacha characters will be in this game unless they are specifically important to the main story
i don't like the balancing in these games

This style insists upon itself.
>>717015596OT2 gets a pass for Ochette, she makes me want to cry and I don't know why.
>>717013112 (OP)Bros can I make a black character?
>>717013112 (OP)>What do we think of the new Octopath game, bros?Pretty sure this is the only time Square Enix decided to allow a single player/offline version of one of their gacha games. So maybe they're learning.
That said, it's a gacha game they're trying to retrofit to be a proper mainline title.
For that I don't think it's gonna hold up quality wise
>>717021349What balancing? You just get late game equipment and the game is over, which is ridiculously easy to do.
>>717018554Bargello is playable and heโs pretty much Partitio inspiration.
>>717021881Supposedly the mobile game has a better written storyline than the main games, which isn't surprising since Square puts all their best talent on their mobile games.
>>717022024Did they already confirm who the characters are going to be?
>>717020835I don't think so, but i will say that if it is "Single Player Reimagining" of the Mobage then the Appeal of the Mobage was honestly the Villains, To put it simple the pot is basically collecting Not-Tolkien Magical Rings and then get dragged into yet another "You were manipulated, Dark God is reviving" plot at the end, (You) have a Power Ring too, and it is why you have Gacha summoning bullshit. But as said, the bosses are honestly the stars of the show.
>>717022045It has really good music too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO8YzCHkKkI
I just hope they keep the Oscarbait performance of Sonia by Yuuki Aoi
>>717022248Didnโt they show them in that 32 niggas in a row part of the trailer.
>>717013112 (OP)I'm indifferent about creating towns, but otherwise I would get it, if I wasn't currently boycotting giving any money to Nintendo, directly or indirectly
>>717022551They showed a bunch of different sprites, hell if I know who any of them are aside from the OT1 characters. Also I do not get how they're going to integrate those characters into the game in a satisfying way story wise since it's a prequel before they had their big adventures.
>>717021967Meta bosses scale. Nta, but if you're a retard like me, and have to actually tactic your way through instead of depending on equipment and grinding, you're fucked
>>717022634It's being released on the PC as well.
>>717022827Good to know, thanks well informed-kun
Will there be any middle aged sexo daddies like Osvald?
>>717021881>Octopath got its mobage re-released before Dissidia, Record Keeper, or even Kingdom Hearts (we all know how autistic Nomura is)Fucking grim.
If you want to count it, DQX technically got an offline version first (except for gaijins, they are not allowed DQX in any form ever).
>>717023187I think there will porbably be at least one if only as a Token like Peredir was.
>>717023274Nier 3 didn't even get one, despite it arguably being the capstone of the franchise up to that point.
Square Enix is just weird.
>>717013112 (OP)""HD2D"" MAKES ME WANT TO FUCKING PUKE
So it's gonna have 8+ characters on-screen at once against the enemies? Do we really need 8 niggas in a row? That's pretty off-putting.
>>717023765I forgot Reincarnation even happened, damn.
>look it up>went on stream around the final chapter release (only released in JP) and said there are no plans for an offline versionAs if I didn't hate gacha enough already.
>>717025493Devs were too busy working in the Final Fantasy 7 mines, please understand.
>>717021881They "tried" making an offline version with FF Dimensions II a few years ago. It did poorly both offline and online and they likely learned that games that are purely battles don't provide a satisfactory offline experience.
>>717022045>Supposedly the mobile game has a better written storyline than the main gamesI'm not going to say one way or the other so you can form your own opinion when 0 comes out (assuming it's not heavily rewritten), but consider that the amount of people who played through CotC and got invested into the story is going to be very small leading to incredible bias in discussion.
>>717026387Well there is a reason they're re-adapting the content from CotC and not just releasing it as is.
Nier Reincarnation mentioned above would also suck dicks as a single player because it's just as shitty fucking game, but they could make a proper game out of its story if they really wanted
>implying Square Enix gives a shit about Nier
>>717013112 (OP)>zeroIt's a prequel?
>>717023274Burgers haven't been geoblocked from DQX for some time
>>717026535Yeah that's true you can't really trust gachafags who spent a bunch of money on it giving an unbiased and accurate review of its quality.
octopath trav 2 story was so fucking boring i had to drop it
>>717027868Tell me more anon.
>>717021785these games aren't even similar
>>717014090Where's the Epstein list?
how many times has a Gacha title become a full fledged console title? It would be nice to see romancing saga re:universe on a console. only question now is, will the guest characters appear in OT0?
>>717034703They're not. They're entirely different genres.
Why bother embarrassing yourself by lying about something so easily contradicted?
Why doesn't /v/ actually play games?
>>717027868I enjoyed Partitio's standalone story more than garbage like Xenoblade 2.
>>717017084It's their best 2D-HD game, so long as you don't have ADHD like the other retards replying to you.
>game-key card game
So should I get it digital on switch 2 or get the physical Xbox veraion?
The only SaGa game that was ever good was The Last Remnant. Style is meaningless when everything about the game mechanically is bad.
>>717013112 (OP)i think it will be bad
and i think other oktopat games are bad
how bravely default games come into this i dont know
>>717037136a) you're wrong
b) you're an idiot
c) wrong thread, retard
>>717013112 (OP)1 was the reason i didn't buy 2 so 0 will be a sure pass
>>717013112 (OP)Isn't just the gacha but offline?
>>717013112 (OP)Sooo is this a sequel or....?
They showed OP1 characters in it.
>>717037995CotC was a Prequel IIRC, And since this was based on CotC chances are this is a prequel too, especially cause the "0".
>>717013112 (OP)Shouldn't have released for OG switch
>>717039286And the OT1 characters are probably fan service
>>717013897You could get it for Switch 1 and play it on the Switch 2.
>>717013914How gooner is the gacha?
>>717015596REMINDER OCHETTE HAS A SNOUT IT'S CANON!!!
>>717013929But the sequel is much better
>>717035069Partitio story is ok. I think Octopath 2 has some weak stories except for Castti.
Why are there two threads
>>717046595Link to the other?
so is this the entire mobile game story?
>>717047430Just search Octopath in the bar.
>>717013112 (OP)No one is buying some spin off at full price.
>>717013112 (OP)2 years and they already made a new game WTF?
How do these devs shit out games this quick? did they just rehash everything and write a new generic story?

>Octopath Traveler
>Octopath Traveler 2
>Octopath Traveler 0?
the fuck? why not make it three?
>>717051439It's an adaptation of the mobile game, so they had a lot of stuff they could just reuse.
>>717051497Oh really? didn't know that. Thanks for the info
>>717014992Octopath 2 is $60. Is this a lesser game than the first and second games? Publishers never release games at a reduced price for no reason.
>>717051441>Bravely Default>Bravely Second>Bravely Default 2Don't question things.
>>717051441Itโs a prequel to the first game based off CotC. Itโs like Resident Evil 0.
>>717051441Age old trick, anon. it's bait for newfags who haven't played 1 and 2.
>>717052323Itโs a prequel retard
if you have a series built around pre-written characters and make a new game with a custom character, the game is slop i will not be buying, sorry
>>717051756Bravely Default is such a stupid fucking name
Who the fuck is responsible for this shit
>>717013112 (OP)I always think of "Psychopath Traveler" instead of the idea that it's octo as in 8, and that there are branching paths, hence "Octopath"
>>717013825Apparently it's based on the story beats of the mobile game or something, so that's probably also a part of why everyone is here (the mobile games plots were actually okay, but suffered from being a mobile game)
>>717016601Well said. I'm leaning toward getting it since I liked the first two (even if they were pretty mid) and a recruitable loli would seal the deal for me.
Why are the songs so good bros
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDzBhGxZ8H8
>>717053586it's named that way because the bigger twist than lying airy is that you have to both figuratively and literally bravely default against ouroborous as he's destroying worlds.
tiz also does it as (you) stop possessing his corpse.
>>717022796Bro just get a bunch of money and have Partitio use his "pay money to hire people to beat the shit out of the enemy" skill. It's as shrimple as that.
>>717056016Why are you posting spoilers stupid fuck
>>717055948Theyโre mid as fuck
>>717058358You're mid as fuck
I hope we get mods in the same vein as the mods for Octo 2
>Boss Rush
>New classes
>Mods to fix the shitty bloom
>>717058739Wait thereโs class mods for OT2?
>>717013112 (OP)Might be good. Might not be. Hard to say.
It's Square Enix. My expectations aren't high.
>>717053586>Japanese titles are stupid and nonsensicalmore at 11.
>>717015286>bad game with a scummy part taken outFtfy.
It's still going to suck since the whole game was designed around that shit.
>>717052090>>717035584>>717013901The series started as a Switch exclusive, so this game is an exclusive in my eyes :)
>>717013112 (OP)>multiplat>game key cardswitch 2 will literally be the worst version I hope sales reflect that.
>>717065830Switch 2 version is the best version. Can play it at 1080p on the go. At work and on the plane. Trips to Norway take forever and I have a nice 95Wh battery magnetically attached to my switch 2.
>>717065961>1080p on the goThis is Square Enix, these games should have been 1080@60fps on the original Switch, but they were far from it.
>>717013112 (OP)Garbage that will never be able to capture the kino that was chrono trigger and FFVI, it also looks putrid af
>>717065997OT2 runs at all max settings 120fps 1080p on the Steamdeck which is a much weaker system. So why wouldn't it?
>>717013112 (OP)>DenuvoNah, I'll just clear my backlog then pirate it half a year later.
>>717066170I already told you, Square Enix.
>>717065830A bazillions of people bought a Switch 2 for them and their moms so this game will sell gangbusters on the Switch 2, cope more steamie.
>>717066283Yea and? It will run great.
>>717066432I already used the example of the original, it's graphics aren't even as good as games on the original Switch that run at 1080/60fps, there's no reason to expect them to suddenly understand how to optimize a game.
>>717013112 (OP)Well the first 2 were shit but i'm sure THIS one won't be shit!
>>717042668nta but it's got all the exact same problems as the first game. Just with new characters.
>>717068801Bruh the sequel generally fixed some of
those issues. Now itโs going a different direction here with a custom protagonist instead of the 8 protagonist of the first two but still.
>>717013112 (OP)Of course I will buy it, OT2 was my favorite JRPG of the past decade.
But something about it rubs me the wrong way. I'll have to see more of it but it seems decidedly lower budget than the actual "mainline" OTs.
Also I ain't buying that collectors edition. Square Penis is smoking crack asking 230 EUR for it.
I hope for all the Yasunori Nishiki bangers from the gacha and maybe new ones

>>717035216>If you don't like sitting through 3 hours of dialog where literally nothing of note happens then you have ADHDI think your standards are just really low and you don't know a good game from a bad one because you haven't played enough of them
>>717013112 (OP)>Playing handheld games on a PC where the mouse doesn't even work.No i won't play it.
I have 27 hours in OP2, I will surely finish it at some point
>>717075990I was hoping for more HD2D Remakes like Live A Live, instead of more Octoslop piling onto the slop pile
>>717019209It's unlocked on the title screen after you beat the game. You can only access it with an epilogue-status save file.
>>717021868Yes. There's a skin color toggle in the character creation part.
Is Octopath Traveler 2 good? I didn't play 1 because it seemed mediocre and overpriced.
>>717013552>tranime retard is wronggee imagine my shock
>>717013112 (OP)No, I have HD2D slop fatigue
will the awesome town soundtrack be included from OP2?
>>717076745Devs fixed many of OT1's flaws and improved more parts of it; it ends up being much easier overall due to the more tools at your disposal.
If you had liked OT1, you'd love OT2.
Some people who didn't like OT1 still enjoyed OT2, so you might be one of those. You'd have so specify why you thought it was mediocre.
I actually just bought 1 and 2 on this recent PS5 sale. Still playing through Grandia and SMTVV first so probably won't get this on release since I'm pretty slow to play through games
>>717013112 (OP)Not exclusive, nah iโm good saving for other exclusive like Shine Post (if somehow Konami bring it to the Asia or my Japanese got better)
>>717076693Damn Iโm actually kneeling
>>717013112 (OP)How does it look uglier than 2? What did they do?
>>717077743Assets from OT1 and gacha (which launched before OT2 was created). You can see the spritework in battles is lacking in comparison to OT2 too.
>>717077853Good grief, Square Enix.
>>717078057I mean. I'll admit it's fair that it doesn't like as good considering Team Asano (and Acquire) are spread thin since they also had to work on that Elliott thing and the DQ stuff and still continue the Octopath gacha.
>>717031212The point is they all use the exact same art style.
>>717078223DQ stuff is made by a different group entirely despite looking similar and Acquire has been bought out, OT0 is made by parts of the gacha staff I think and Elliot is made by a whole another contractor altogether looking at the credits in the demo
>>717013112 (OP)I've had enough of OT for a while.
>>717078512Elliot is ClaytechWorks, which previously developed Bravely Default II for Team Asano.
>>717076056Agnea's story says no
>>717013112 (OP)This and the Adventures of Elliot one are the ones I'm currently waiting for in terms of third party games.
>>717077853So this is pretty much a cash grab? Iโve heard this isnโt even going to have a Spanish translation
>>717082175If it is, it's a surprising one since they're reworking the gacha's Orsterra arcs. This has to be repeated, since gachas almost never have this treatment after EoS... and this is a weird case since the Octopath is actually still running but now on the Side Solistia arc since the Orsterra arcs are all done.
>>717082750Theyโre only going to have English,
Korean and Chinese are going to have a translation which is a step down from OT2
>>717080443but that's the best one
>>717078435What's wrong with multiple games sharing an artstyle
We don't complain every videogame is realismslop
>>717013112 (OP)Damn, they're really going to make eight of these aren't they?
>>717083417Realism is kino doe
>>717083512this but unironically
Also brown and bloom
>>717083350"I want to become famous!" is such a weird story line to juxtapose next to other story lines like "I need to find the man who killed my wife and child and then framed me for their murder" and "I was human trafficked as a child into a society of assassins and I want to break free by killing my handlers".
>>717083606That's what makes it good
It's the ketchup on your burger
>>717083606It was already like that in the first game:
"I'm making a pilgrimage in place of my mourning sister"
"I'm looking for a book"
"I'm heading out to world to learn the ways of the economy"
"I'm struggling to find my meaning as a lost knight"
"I'm gonna kill them"
"I'm heading out to the world to do good"
"I'm collecting 3 balls"
"I'm searching for my mentor who's gone missing"
>>717083512Imagine if Octopath had a realistic artstyle. I want to see a realistic Ochette and other Beastlings looking like midgets with a chihuahua faces.
>>717083606It unironically works because itโs a simple Disney-esque story that doesnโt try to be more than it actually is. Just look at the mess that is Throne story and the whole Father shit that came out of nowhere and ruined the whole thing.
>>717084027Father or Claude
>>717084027I love how ridiculously fucked up Claude's deal is. I was wondering if CotC/0 has any villain who comes close.
>>717084121Itโs fucked up but itโs stupid grimderp garbage that came out of nowhere and ruined the flow of the previous chapter. You kill father and mother and they reveal that this discount sephirot is pulling the strings and is everyone actual father,
>>717084121Auguste and Pardis III are pretty fun.
>>717083417Define realismslop
>>717013112 (OP)Tried OT 1 recently and didn't really get it, I thought the writing was very weak, incredibly bland, and the combat was mediocre. Pixel art was the best part but not enough for me to continue on.
>>717084325Pardis III did literally nothing wrong
>>717084548Elricafags will have your head for that.
>>717084548>>717084626Stop playing gacha games
>>717013112 (OP)Couldn't bother finishing 2 with all characters. The combat system is pretty boring...
>>717013112 (OP)I'm buying it. Gonna be a comfy Christmas playing this by the fire place on my Switch 2, with some hot chocolate.
>>717084626Yeah, Elricafags are in desperate need for a head now LMAO

>>717013112 (OP)I'm fucking sick of those 2D-HD games, they all look boring and exactly the fucking same. You put them all together and nobody would be able to figure out which game it is.
>>717085821They're _____________________fun____________
>>717085821From made the same game every time for 10 years and nobody complained.
>>717013112 (OP)Im really not sure, because it reminds me of the fiasco with ark aquatica where the devs released a dlc on the old engine. I mean seriously, compare the footage from OT0 with OT2 and youd think OT0 came out years before OT2, instead of later. Plus, the fact that its essentially just a rerelease frrom the gacha and it destroys its established formula of 8 MCs by giving you 30 characters and a self insert MC really turns me off. Plus i dont like how it kinda fucks up the original 8s stories since tressa/olberic/primrose/etc can join the party which doesnt make any fucking sense.
Im gonna keep up with it and look out for new info, but overall, id be a million times more hyped if it was a normal OT3 instead of whatever this is.
(Excuse my trash english, i am absolutely shitfaced)
>>717083420And after that's when they make the big fighting game crossover including characters from Octo, side games TS or Elliot, and remakes like Live A Live.
Trust the plan.
>>717014992Literally cheaper than their gatcha.
>>717017084It was great, dont listen to the other faggots here. It has hundreds of hours of cutscenes, almost visual novel length, but if you wanna skip it, then you can just skip it. I do recommend however watching some guides for certain characters(especially Roland), otherwise you will play them wrong and youre gonna have a bad time.
>>717013112 (OP)Why is this only $50? It is shorter?
>>717091136It's the gacha game but just changed to be a paid standalone game
>>717088437As a Partitio main, I will simply pay my opponent to lose to me every time.
>>717056016It's funny that you remove the "FF" and it's a completely changed story.
>>717091136Itโs a lazy cash grab
>>717092209That's not what cashgrab means
>>717092378words mean what I want them to mean
>>717065040So you're retarded got it
>>717013112 (OP)i have pixelshit fatigue
>>717013112 (OP)I've had Octopath fatigue before even finishing the first game
>>717016008Somehow that sounds even worse
>>717013112 (OP)can you tell SE to remove the fucking fairy voice from the other game?
I quit the gacha after finishing the main story and just before it got sold to netease, who then made it worse with an AI translation. I really did like the story and 8 character parties so this will be great.
