I cringe every time a game lets me pet a random animal on the street.
Gonna check out the demo sometime. Always loved the artstyle of the octopath series but I dislike jrpgs and I hate turn based combat.

The demo completely sold me on this game it was fantastic, my only issue is its coming out in 2026….I want this game to come out this year.
Yup Team Asano is making this game.

Playing right now, it feels closer to the classic Zelda games so far. So if you like Zelda games, you'd probably like this? idk.

I've really enjoyed it so far, like this is the type of games why I started liking gaming and it feels like it has been ages since I got something so good with the same feeling.
The only caveat is the having to press B twice to get out of the map, really it should be one single press and I always forget about the second one and get fooled by my muscle memory.

I appreciate you, and the game is good.
But if it's a Keycard, I won't buy it.
If it's physical, maybe.

Then buy it on different platform, this game is not exclusive to Switch 2.Danjin Friend

If it comes out on PS5 physically, I'll support it.
I bought Octopath Traveler 2 on PS5 15 days ago.

Yes, I think only the demo is exclusive to Switch 2.

This is quite fun so far. It's been a while since I've played a top-down adventure game, and Elliot learned a lot of good lessons from Zelda. It's a tad derivative but I like a lot of what this game is doing already. So far I'm hoping for more puzzle elements though. The music is beautiful and the visuals are growing on me. Some of the UI navigation is clunky though.
Am I the only one that really likes the fairy? Also hot take central here but I don't want to see leveling-up. It inherently makes this genre overly-grindy and I think there're enough non-grindy ways to get stronger already, like getting and managing magicite boosts (this system reminds me of FF9's abilities or Paper Mario's badges).

Played through the demo, yeah...
It feels a bit deritive and they definately did not put enough effort into the menus and UI to make it feel like a professional game.
Also the way the character stops each time you attack feels annoying.
The graphics are also Switch 1 level or worse. Definitely not up to par with newer HD2D games. Sprites look too faded.
I also feel like the game needs a leveling or additional progression system from what I played.
The music is great (if the game sucks, it will be a shame) and the magicite system is cool, but overall it feels pretty low-effort.
I would probably buy this if it's cheap enough though for the music alone.

I also like the fairy but mostly because I played a lot of Vanillaware games.
I also agree with you, this game doesn't need level up system.

Yeah, I got some Secret of Mana vibes as well during the demo. It's of course far less whimsical, but the feel reminded me a bit of Secret of Mana, at least.
I wonder now how a HD-2D Mana game could look and play like.
Edit: Now that I have played it longer, it's definitely more Zelda than Mana.

I agree on both. Will definitely give this as feedback when the survey comes in.
I love the game though. Really excited.

Apparently the survey is already available on the website. I thought they would email me after playing the demo.

Guess this is the thread for this game.
Pretty solid so far, enjoying just playing it, walking about, getting into combat. I don't think it'll get crazy deep or engaging, but seems enjoyable enough that I just might bite if I can easily access physical at launch. I think I'd like it even more the further I play.

Finished the demo. Game needs some work. The overworld runs a bit sluggish compared to caves, game is hella sluggish in graphics mode (Switch 2). Your hitbox seems HELLA wide so it definitely doesn't come off skill-based like Ys at all. Really hard to tell when and why you get hit, unlike Ys or Zelda, which just encourages turtling/distance play over ballsy skill combat. And the boss…. it had so many different things it does where it is like "how was I supposed to know that?" so you just die and learn and that part is definitely like Ys. The resurrect in place for 20 bucks is hilarious, your fairy earning her way.
I may get this on Series X or PC if that lets me play 4k at 60fps because it doesn't make any sense to me how Switch 2 isn't able to do that for this. The visual style is kinda jumbled so it would be nice to run 4k to help clarity. I set my TV to smooth out the framerate in graphics mode to get a preview of it (tho it causes big delay) and it is nice looking that way.

Would love to play this on a console where it can run 4k/60 fps with achievements, so if there ends up being an Xbox or Steam version, I will pick it up. It does look quite good, even on Switch 2. I just hope the camera can be zoomed in a little more. Glad to see a non-turn-based JRPG in the HD2D style every so often. As long as Bravely 3 hits more like Bravely 1, and a true Octopath 3 is planned at some point, I'm happy. We need other companies to carry the torch of 2D top-down Zeldas now, since Nintendo has started to turn every Zelda into a builder-sim. Might be okay with some people, but to me it's just boring and not Zelda, and I don't want to spend 30%+ of my time in a Zelda game having to dink around trying to build something.

No one liked Wii or Bravely Default at first, either. Just human nature to bristle at something new that you're not used to. Eventually you just get used to it and don't even remember not liking it

The demo and survey being this far out gives me hope that it's a first half '26 release. March/ April.

Thank God. So tired of all these games being Switch-only and waiting for a port to a console than can run it well + has achievements. Still waiting on an Xbox port of Harvestella. Never again!

I don't know about Xbox but the game is definitely coming to PS and Steam.
