Octopath Traveler 0 details from Producer Suzuki:

- Number of monsters and bosses is 'incredible'
- 30-40% of the main scenario is new
- Side quests and party chat are new
- Voiced character dialogue is new
- 100+ hour playtime. Players won't get bored.

>>723346345 (OP)
Hell yeah

>>723346345 (OP)
They should do the same with FF exvius

>>723346787
There are so many mobile games that should be converted to proper games

>>723346345 (OP)
>Octopath Traveler gets its terrible mobile title ported to a main console title
>Kingdom Hearts Missing Link is canceled shortly before release
Why is Square Enix like this?

>>723347316
Disney is a bitch to work with now and the franchise will likely die after IV because of it.

OT2 was kino as fuck. I was supposed to be excited for this one, but for some reason I am not.

>>723346345 (OP)
>100+ hour playtime. Players won't get bored.
Bold claim.

>>723346787
They should do this with any number of these games. You don't even have to go to the lengths this one is going to, give an intern a month in a broom closet to hack together a semblance of balance and you can double dip pretty easily on non-mobile audiences with it.
The fact that Team Asano somehow figured this out and went the extra mile is fucking hilarious. They have to be the only part of SE that gives half a shit anymore.

>100+ hour playtime. Players won't get bored.
>Side quests
HOLY BLOAT

>>723346345 (OP)
How many niggas in a row?

>>723346345 (OP)
I got 100 hours out of both OTI and II for full completion. I hope they mean the same here and not that it's just the main story, otherwise it sounds like too much.

>>723346345 (OP)
Why the fuck doesn't a new game have 100% new main scenario?

>>723348473
It's a reworked console version of the mobile game.

>>723346345 (OP)
>100+ hour playtime.
lol

>still the same old pixel slop that's no different from the 1000s of other pixel slop jrpgs out there

Brilliant

>>723348685
Eww

>>723346345 (OP)
>is new
Compared to the mobile game, right?
What I wonder though if it'll actually feel like a single player, genuine, real RPG.
Or if it'll just feel like End of Service, Offline, Premium Port edition of the mobile game.

While I personally probably wouldn't be super into the latter. I do actually think it's very cool when mobile games are preserved in robust offline versions of themselves that persist beyond EoS. But since I never played the mobile game I'd only be moderately interested in that personally.
But that's kind of my main question. Will it still feel like I'm playing a mobile game? Even if it's improved or even substantially improved.

>>723346345 (OP)
That's great and all but give me loli-ish party members. There's what, like 30 characters or some nonsense? Give me at least like four or so, that's not much to ask for.

>>723346345 (OP)
Chaos control!

>>723347316
>cotc
>terrible
I know you're beyond anal over KH:ML but don't be such a faggot about it. Cotc unironically has a better story than the last 2 main games.

>>723352761
>8 niggas in 2 rows
Im glad its not another RPG with a 3 character party but Isnt this gonna make fights drag out?

>>723349439
Essentially the whole orsterra story campaign from mobile is here on 0 but they modified + added about 40% of it to fit the MC story. So yeah
>>723353075
Actually no, it makes battle a lot faster with the right optimization. Since we now have skills that actives from backrow and theres switch in skills that even get bonus damage. Shit can become chaotic with all sorts of skills procing. Also it has x2 speed up just incase like in Octo 2

>>723346345 (OP)
but it looks like shit

>>723353325
Because the mobile game uses the first game as a base on a modified engine. And 0 is based on mobile so all checks out. Yes. It sucks huge cocks but this game is a quick throw and they didn't want to start from scratch to make this game. Also this was more of a love letter to the thousands of nips that been wishing and persistently asking for cotc to be made into a console game. Don't worry. Octo 3 will look fucking awesome

>>723352832
>Cotc unironically has a better story than the last
This is not the high praise you think it is.
Both OT games are basically a collection of 8 incredibly basic, children's book-tier stories.

>>723349049
>it should be 3D photorealistic action slop for the unwashed masses
No, better yourself.

>>723354638
Yes good to know you didn't play the games.

>>723354638
You're so cool and smart anon. I bet all the girls cum the moment they smell your pheromones. You got a giant cock and balls, I bet? God, I wish I was even 1% cool, smart, and drop dead fucking sexy as you.

>>723346345 (OP)
Is true this game is just the mobile game adapted for consoles?

>>723354638
I know there are some fucked up children's books, but I've never come across one that's like Throne's story.

>>723355737
Yup. Without the gatcha, more new content and all. And yes, many did asked for this. Is why it exists

Is it going to have all of the gacha characters? I'm looking through the gacha website to see if there's any characters that suit my tastes.

>>723346345 (OP)
No playable Tatloch, no buy. Simple as.

She has a cute voice.

Alright, the gacha definitely does have a few good loli-ish designs that appeal to me, they better fucking add them to Zero. I want to give them my money but they need to give me what I want first.

>>723348013
>>723353075
this 8 characters ALL at once kinda trips me up.
front row back row tactics are okay, but pretty sure i would perfer using 4 at once like classic Octo.
gonna play this game that way and see if it can work.

Okay I'm done now, that's about all I could find. They haven't revealed any characters that appeal to me yet for Zero so I really hope they turn this around.

>>723349049
i wish it was just pixel slop, but no it's HD2D with turboblur which is far worse.

>>723357517
Sadly no. We get only the key characters from the stories as returning ones, the 8 travelers from the first game and the rest are brand new characters. So far we know there's 32 units total, so do the math because I remember fuckall. Lol.

>>723359056
>none of the collab characters are in (despite all being in-house)
Lame, I wanted to use Oersted and Straybow as a duo.

>>723359056
The marketing blurb said "choose from over 30" so I'm hoping it's more than just 32. This is really disappointing though, the gacha has some nice cuties and there's been fuckall revealed for me so far.

>>723359242
Also here, this is all we saw from the first trailer. All of these are playable

>>723359172
Such is the curse of gatcha games gone full games. 6 returning characters the 8 travelers from 1, 17 new characters and the MC. 32 characters total.

>>723359327
They most likely aren't getting my money unless there's a lot more yet to come.

>>723359707
Then I'm afraid you're gonna miss out because I'm dead sure we won't get more than the 32 we know of. At least we won't have 40 at the extreme side of optimism since it's fully stated to be over 30 and that usual stops at 39

>>723356401
And without the crossover characters too, I guess.

>>723360148
Yeah, we essentially are gonna miss EVERY character from cotc except 6 who are connected to the main story. They don't want to take away from the mobile game too much. Gotta need to keep dem whales somehow

>>723360236
Wait, the mobile game is not EoS? Then why making this port?

I couldn't get past the flaws of poor level scaling in the first game. And playing 1 chapter of a storyline then having to wait like 10 hours of playtime before getting to reasonably play the next chapter made it difficult to care about all 8 stories.

>>723362140
Probably because they made the mistake of making the mobile gacha canon. It's less of a port and more of a Frankenstein's monster cheaply and quickly built from the assets of Octopath 1 and 2 recreating some of the mobile game and adding new stuff.

>>723346345 (OP)
Is this actually gonna play like octopath or is it mobile slop? I saw town building which I'm not too sure I want in my octopaths.
