@@KidRandomNolt Some people care less about realism and more about style and it also depends on the game. Realism matters in a game like Kingdom Come Deliverance where they're trying to get as close to a middle ages sim as possible. Octopath doesn't care about realism at all but when it comes to the style it's a 10/10. I have a 3080 Ti so I could easily be playing games with much better graphics but right now the gameplay and story of octopath *crush* the games with prettier graphics when it comes to making me want to keep playing it.
I feel like it's a gift to be able to appreciate art and it sucks for those that are unable to appreciate them as they're the only one losing out on the experience. Pixel Art has only gotten better over the years and Octopath has managed to combine pixel art with modern 3D effects to make this beautiful blend of style that I certainly hope catches on to other titles.
@@skycloud4802 Definitely. Currently playing through the DS remakes of Dragon Quest and I've been having a blast with it. Despite lacking the flashiness of Octopath's modern style, the pixel art in these series is still amazing 15 years later.
Last part of trailer brought me to tears, i can feel motive and passion behind all of the characters that those are trying to achieve their goal. We don’t see passionate people a lot nowadays, appreciate the passion.
It's been years since I played the first Octopath Traveller... This game looks like its going to be amazing... I feel like I need to re-run the first one just to get into the groove...
I'm loving this game. It's way better than the first. I love what they've done with the story, camera angles, etc.. Feels much more immersive. I recommend turning the voices off completely if you're a traditional JRPG player. Feels just like the classics.
@@seanoodles7008 So far just superficially but I've heard there's story quests with different characters and that the late game ties the characters better than the first.
@@seanoodles7008they interact at the end of the game there’s a final chapter where Kazan (Hikari’s partner/friend) is actually the true ending boss and all 8 travelers have to beat him. There’s a cutscene at the end where they all meet up to watch Agnea perform
You should be playing Octopath Traveler 2, instead of reading this comment! It's absolutely amazing, plus there is a free demo so you have no reason not to. ❤️
Just picked this up looking to scratch for itch for a turn base game. Played FF, P5R, bravely default enough so I was looking for something new. This game took me by surprise with its great combat system, graphics, and storytelling. It is worth your $60
I heard from some reviewers that this game still lacks character interactions which is a shame. Hope that turns out to be a lie or something because everything about it already seems better than the previous title.. Also hope the secret classes return, especially the runelord class
I hope there are more besides banter in the Inns this time as well. Although that does mean it would depend on which characters' stories you progress first and how far you get in each.
Of course, it's not just the fact that it's pixelated, but I even miss the aliasing in modern games. This game does that very well, I know because of Triangle Strategy.
I haven’t played the first one but the demo for this was enticing enough for me to buy it. Been having a blast! Got 5 members so far (just chapter 1s) and can’t wait to continue with their stories
40 hours in, this game is fantastic This is how you make a sequel. If only the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes could've looked like this Edit: I beat the game, 82 hours in. This is how you make a sequel. Hopefully we can one day get a third console entry
They have to add one major feature for saves. Octopath Traveler 2 does not feature any cross-save feature that allows you to transfer game data between different platforms, and this is very much needed.
This is definitely and totally an Absolute Masterpiece! Can't wait to get this Sequel for the Nintendo Switch this year! I want to know everything about this Amazing Sequel of *Octopath Traveler 2!*
I'm playing it right now. It's so amazeing...great battery life too..played 2 hours so far..only used 13 percent. This is my 3rd game...I'm a late bloomer...looking to buy atelier ryza 3 next..be my 4th game..yep I love nintendo switch.. got it hooked up to surround sound booming this good game...so loud the walls are shaking with each action..
Future Pokémon games can be made with those graphics above the Generation 5 graphics, as there is potential for plenty of content, smoother gameplay, and stable physics. Even the Generation 6 graphics can be fine.
@@SALTYTOAD00 There are video games that were not meant to be in 3D. Fans are mad about this a lot where the cities and routes feel empty, and the Pokémon using the same animations. There are some expressions and animations you could not get with 3D.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 The Pokemon in the newer games don't use the same exact animations as previous games. May actually want to play the games before you try criticizing them. A lot of the animations were fully restructured
day one buy! i am glad these kinds of games are sucessful, i remember the time when Bravely Default 1 for 3ds wasnt even localized in the west because the former CEO yoichi wada said "these types of games are not wanted by western audiences" (the same guy who forced internal engines like chrystal tools on the developers causing massive damage (look at FF14, delays in 15), practically ended the golden age of jrpgs the father of Final Fantasy Sakaguchi gave us, the same guy who forced sequels like FF X-2 etc.) Glad that Square changed their mind, they have a long way to go, but masterpieces like Octopath give me hope for the future!
Yes the game is great. I would love to see an Octopath Traveler game set in the distant future where laser weapons and technology are the "Magic". Keep the Boost system. I love Boosting. Maybe have the setting of the game in space or on different planets...etc. To put it simply, I would like a Sci-Fi Octopath experience.
Not sure how often you guys get this request but i think a lot of people would enjoy a remaster to games like the original Luigi's mansion and super mario sunshine. honestly 2 of my most favorite games of all time from my childhood.
Very excited to play this. Loved the first game. But before I start another 100 hour+ adventure, I still have to play Metroid Prime and Fatal Frame 4 ^^
So excited for this ❤❤❤ so difficult who to choose for first. I did choose Ochette for demo and don’t regret it Hunter in this game is better sorry H’aanit.
Question for OT experts, can i focus on 4 characters at a time? Once i reach their end chapters, i’ll finish the remaining 4. I played the first one by playing all chapter 1s, then all chapter 2s, etc. but did not like the idea of my first character being over leveled as he was locked in.
I own the game, but I'm not gonna start it for a while. Still playing through Fire Emblem. Really excited though! I logged a good 60 or so hours on the first one.

No

Played for 5 hours last night. Dope game

I can’t wait to get off work and play more of this master piece! The demo made me so hyped.
This music in this game is phenomenal
Banger OST 💯

imagine turning off Dio's voice. . . blasphemy !
Although the VA is phenomenal. Only some characters have over dramatic voices, but they have a good cast

One of the best RPGs ever is back! The demo is amazing!
Years in the making and finally here OCTOPATH IS BACK!!! This game is going to be legendary I can already tell
It is!!!
Seriously, everything about this game looks amazing! The artstyle, the music, story and gameplay! I can't wait to start this up!
Imagine a Pokémon game in this graphic style 🤯
Is the depth of field like this in actual gameplay! I love the look!
Yeah, Graphics are beautiful and goes well with the character designs
Yeah
All the characters seem pretty compelling to start with… *But I’ve been a Merchant Stan since the beginning*

Awesome Octopath Traveler II Launch Trailer.
Octopath is an absolute GEM for rpg fans 🔥
Have my copy of Octopath 2, just need to make time to play it ;)
Haru voice actress is in this game guys, I rate this game -10/10 thank you very much.
Can't wait! So many improvements from the first
This is literally a Master Piece
Can’t believe they got Noah and mio in this game
40 hours in, this game is fantastic

Edit: I beat the game, 82 hours in. This is how you make a sequel. Hopefully we can one day get a third console entry
82 hours, incluing side quests ?
I loved the first one so much, I'm ready for this one!
I played the first one a few years ago. I just fired up the second one tonight. I am so excited! What beautiful games! What a time to be alive.

Omg I loved the first game so much, so glad they decided to make a second!! Can't wait to play it :D
Clearly an HD-2D instant masterpiece!
Can't wait for my physical cartridge to arrive!.
More HD-2D games please!!!!! I will buy them all
Just picked it up, already on sale for $45. Can't wait to play it!
Picked my copy up from GameStop. Can’t wait to play it.
this makes me wanna go back to the first game (and live a live just coz of the art style are similar)
This could be game of the year for me

Take a shot every time the frame changes
For people in Canada and possibly USA too, the game is on sale for $20 off. Bought it yesterday for only $60
This looks pretty awesome!
Still waiting for my physical copy, Can't wait.
Same. Sadly there’s a huge storm in my area so it might be delayed a bit for me
What made me play both octopath games is my love of the art style seeded by fftwotl another fantastic game
Didn‘t know they made Jotaro an enemy in the OT universe 3:00
Juste got my steelbook edition. PLEASE buy the game and support these creators !
I just realized that the first letter of all their names when put together in the right order spells out octopath.
They did that in the first one too
Just picked it up! Super hyped to play it.
Tell me who yall are starting with. I'm going with Partitio!
I'm so torn between Osvald, Hikari and Castti 😅 I'm leaning towards Osvald though, I loved the scholar in the first game 🤔
Starting with Temenos myself
my start will be with Throné!
I’m going with Ochette it seems like the hunter is much better than the first game which I’m excited about. Though Peritio is my second choice.
Just picked up my copy! I’m thinking of going with Osvald
Still waiting for my collectors edition to arrive, the wait is painful :'(
I started with agnea because wholesome, no spoilers please!
As someone who’s played octopath 1-2 and completed them, Please. Please give us a third game
0:03 The actor who said "I want to change it..." etc. sounds like Yuri Lowenthal.
Loving the game. but i do have to say this is an awesome trailer that gets me hyped everytime!
LETS GOOO so excited for my physical copy to arrive in the mail!! I already spent 35 hours on the demo alone
I become my Copy today! 😎❤️☝🏻
I Love this series and i love it's on PC :)
And i love how nobody cares about it.
More of these 2d-hd games!
mainly dragon quest.
Hate that I have to wait next week to get this

I wish you guys to make Mario&Luigi Partners in time 3DS/ Bowser And Bowser JR Quest
I hope 3D land will get ported to the switch
uh uh uh yes YES YES, the first one made me buy the Switch. I loved the first one.
This is a great game.
Team Osvald. Ready for revenge.
I heard rumors that Retro is going to make a Star Fox Adventures 2!? (... Just kidding, but that'd be nice.)
Had to go with the ps5 for this game but I enjoyed the first game on switch
Did you like Octopath Traveler? Well, here’s more of it and then some.
SOLD. These two are the most played games on my Switch.
Now do Xenogears
I am debating on switch or playstation 5 version.Any opinions?
I always go in person, but thought I'd try mail this time for the special edition. Isn't arriving til next week :(

I own the game, but I'm not gonna start it for a while. Still playing through Fire Emblem.
Really excited though! I logged a good 60 or so hours on the first one.
Happy day for Game Dave
Is Octopath Traveler better than Triangle Strategy?
I played the demo for the first and enjoyed it, should I buy this game or the first game?
You’re telling me there are EIGHT PATHS?! For ONE game!!?
What a bargain!!!
Nintendo please make a remake of Fossil Fighters and Custom Robo.
