Octopath Traveler 2 will launch on February 24, 2023

Loved the first one, this is a day 1 get.

Will we get a demo?
 
First game was a surprise hit for me, I bought it 3 times - Switch version, then collector's version, then on Steam.

New cast looks ok, but this time I hope they intertwine the stories and go a little deeper on them. In the original, after each character's chapter 1, the stories kinda lost their way. Battle system looks intact, which I enjoyed. I'm excited to see the improvements.
 
Played it on gamepass and just couldn't get into it. Loved the art style and 2DHD aesthetic. Only played first chapters of hannit, thief dude, healer and Cyrus for what it's worth. Maybe it gets better. I kinda didn't like the battle system's Break mechanic either. Rogue Legacy 2 pulled me away from it and I never went back.

Its right on the trailer that the stories will be intertwined.The question is to what extent, but given that this was shown on the trailer, enough so that people will be satisfied
 
If it pulls together in a collective whole...maybe.

Kinda wish they just said to the team "make a spiritual successor to FFVI." That's what we all want.

well we can probably guess one of the things coming in Sony's State of Play this evening then

probably didn't do as well as Square-Enix would like, I'm sure we'll see a late port that comes straight to GamePass

maybe that and/or SE really knows how to get money out of Phil/Xbox. Incentives does get a bit weird when you have a subscription model service.

I mean in all honesty speaking, if you fan of JRPGS, Switch, PS5 and even PC it's much better choice than Xbox.

Yeah, you can't rely on Xbox for all of the games, "enough jrpg's" might depend on how much you play. Steam Deck does seem like a good bet going forwards.

That is largely because those games don't get released on the platform. Can't support a title on Xbox that never gets released on the system.

Sure but also most of the time JRPGs sell better on Switch and Playstation than Xbox since most of the audience own Nintendo and Playstation systems.

Can't sell what you don't advertise. All those games usually come late to the Xbox or it's advertise for the PS / Switch only.

I'm not 100% sure, how much Scarlet Nexus which mostly advertised on Xbox sold on Xbox compare to Playstation?
 
I hope the story is better in this one.
Loved the gameplay and music of the original but I found most stories rather boring and I didn't end up finishing it
 
While I loved the gameplay (well, really liked) the 1st, I've never played a game disrespectful of a player's time. Yeah, sure it's a JRPG but for the relevant total ending to be obscenely high leveled, I did the 8 stories and watched the end on YouTube so I will wait to hear about it before I try the 2nd

Is Triangle Strategy better in this sense?
 
I was deeply disappointed in the first one, no character interaction between party members and each chapter had such a huge bump in enemy levels it felt grindy. I felt misled by the demo.

But I LOVED the game's concept, I hope this one is improved
 
Square Enix is killing it lately. Feels like I'm drowning in Switch RPGs from now until at least late next year

Dragon Quest X Offline
Diofield Chronicle
Harvestella
Tactics Ogre
Romancing Saga Remaster
Dragon Quest Treasures
Crisis Core
Octopath 2
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

EDIT: and I still plan on finishing Live A Live, after I'm done with Xenoblade Chronicles 3
