I assume the demo is on PS5 too so I'll check it out

Finished the demo and did most of the optional stuff. I'm not sure I'm digging it so much. I think reducing the enemy respawn timer would be helpful, but with no experience system tied to defeating enemies, it all starts to feel laborious rather quickly. The challenge temples serve as mechanical training early on and are a bit too generous with handing out additional heart containers. Worst of all, you can't pet any of the many cats in the starting town. Is 2025 for Pete's sake. The main boss was fine, the optional one was rather lackluster. I was probably expecting more of an RPG which is on me.

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.

Bit out of the loop but is this by the Octopath team?

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.
