Coming this year is a real surprise. Team Asano be cooking!

Day 1

2 2D-HD-slop announcements back to back

 

[alf717]

I thought this was gonna be another 2026 game. No Switch 2 key card please.

 

[Sojiro]

I loved both Octo 1 and 2, I am hella excited for this!

 

[drganon]

One of these days I gotta get around to at least beating the 2nd one.

 

[Punished Miku]

Assuming this one is on everything. Day 1 for me.

 

[Gonzito]

Are the graphics as ugly as the previous games?

 

[Quasicat]

I really hope this is coming to Xbox since I played it there, but realistically I will be picking this up no matter what system it's on.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hoping it's a full SW2 game card release. If yes, then it's a day 1 buy.

Edit: It's a key card.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm big fan of Octopath 1&2, it's day one for me.

 

[adamsapple]

Reminder that Octo 2 had the best track of all time.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I'm super hyped for this. Octopath Traveler 2 is a masterpiece.

I was a bit surprised this didn't have a better reaction in the direct thread. I mean, did you not play Octopath 2, lol? Also, why is there hate for 2D-3D HD and why it is slop? Those are some of my favorite games...

Don't get me to talking about the slop that yall play. I suppose there's no accounting for tastes.

A new Octopath Traveler game to be announced soon?

According to our latest findings, a third instalment in the Octopath Traveler saga is about to be officially announced. The game is expected to be called 'Octopath Traveler 0' and will be released on Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, PS5, Xbox Series and PC. Its release date is still unknown, but its price will be in line with the previous instalment, at £59.99.

From some French site.

 

[Lokaum D+]

the problem with Octo is that gameplay/combat is way too much repetitive

 

[Punished Miku]

Sounds good. Hopefully they make it Play Anywhere. 1 and 2 are.

Sheesh, talk about a tough crowd.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Still have to play the second game, but yeah good news.

 

[Labadal]

So there's building or farming, or whatever involved? I'm in as long as combat is turn-based.

 

[adamsapple]

Papito that is the worst take ever.

 

[Sojiro]

You definitely should, it's fantastic, and God damn is the music amazing in it.

Looks like building, and maybe some kind of giant army team battles? Could be a lot of large recruiting or something.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

What was the name of that action HD-2D game? I can't see a thread for it

 

[TintoConCasera]

What was the name of that action HD-2D game? I can't see a thread for it

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.

I like what they've shown, game looks nice and fun and without the plethora of post-processing effects that can make those games look ugly.

 

[Topher]

Hell yeah.....love these games

 

[CrimsonTide]

Dark Souls is not slop

 

[TintoConCasera]

yall

 

[CosmicHusky]

Of course they would announce another one, after all, once the engine stands, it's a simple click-together-job as in RPG Maker and there you go, another Octopath Traveler and there you go another $60 easily earned!
Now Square-Enix also can see how turn-based still pays out!

Oh it's gonna be only on Nintendo Switch?
Pah! That's what they said for the first two installments as well.

 

[Sooner]

So is this more a spin-off? Looks like it has characters from the other games, which makes me think it's a non-canon fanfare game.

I'm excited either way, but a proper Octopath Traveler 3 would have been more exciting.

 

[Topher]

Don't get me to talking about the slop that yall play. I suppose there's no accounting for tastes.

 

[Rocinante618]

The rare 60% off on both games now makes sense.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

So like in most RPGs? If Octo is repetitive, I hope you hate Persona's guts.

I'm interested, buuuuut... I saw some town-building sections and I realllllly hope they're completely optional.

 

[zapper]

It reminds me the mobile game, which I tried two or three times and immediately uninstalled.
Strange, but graphically it seems even worse than OT 2, much flatter, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Anyway not a good first trailer, and I loved OT 2.

i m having a really rough time with Metaphor is that matters, also, Persona is more like a slice of life RPG than a full traditional RPG like Octo.

 

[KàIRóS]

My takeaways from the trailer:

-Since it's called 0 and Orsa is mentioned they are probably going deep into the lore of the Gods and Galdera the true final boss of Octo 1 and 2
-Character Creator means you no longer choose a character to begin the journey, I also wonder how this will affect narrative choices and the path you choose on the world map
-The 8 party member battles look insane, character building will probably be amazing in this game
-Village Rebuilding like in Dark Cloud!?
-The cast seems to be a combination of Octo 1, Champions of the Continent and OG characters, I didn't see anyone from Octo 2 (probably because the game takes place in Orsterra)

Sounds amazing. Day 0

I think these games are a lot better than Persona, personally.

 

[Shifty1897]

I still need to finish OT 2, I bounced off of it.

I wonder how OG Switch will run it. OT2 makes the Switch 1 scream sometimes.

 

[Kacho]

Looks dope. Day gero.

 

[zapper]

I read that it is the expanded port of the mobile one, that's why it reminded me of it... pass

So is Fantasian. It's a red flag, but doesn't fully rule it out being good.

 

[Lokaum D+]

the problem is that Persona has the social down time between all the repetitiveness, Octo don't, so the combat feels way more repetitive and static for me.

I could see that I guess. It's more reminiscent of SNES old school JRPGs that were basically just grinding and exploration only.

 

[Senua]

He's speaking in ree-tongue

 

[Kazdane]

Had a great time with Octopath 1 and 2, so day zero for this one if it releases on PC at some point (hoping it will like the others). I'm guessing the 8-party battles will work similar to how it does on the mobile game, since it looks like it in the trailer (split in two 4-party groups with the one in front being active at that moment).

 

[demigod]

Lol, $229 for trash collector's edition.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I'm over all this HD 2d shit with excessive DoF and bloom.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The Collector's Edition (Switch/Switch 2 key card/PS5/XBS) is up for pre-order from Squeenix store for $230 - https://na.store.square-enix-games.com/octopath-traveler-0

Can you rephrase this post without all the snark and butthurt? I honestly can't tell what point you're trying to make.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Day 1. Octo 2 was incredible imo. Great games
