Preorders Open For Octopath Traveler II

Preorders Open For Octopath Traveler II

, , , , 12

Square Enix’s anticipated sequel Octopath Traveler II won;t be out until February, but you can pay cash up front if you feel like it. Preorders for the game are now officially open across all systems the game is planned for release on. The first Octopath Traveler game was released in 2018, initially as a Switch exclusive. Its “2D-HD” visual art style allowed it to evoke the classic feel of their 8-bit and 16-bit RPGs while at the same time packing enough visual flair to compete with modern titles. Octopath Traveler was enough of a success that the art style was used in other Square games, most recently the Live A Live remake. Octopath Traveler II will use mostly the same formula as the first one, with eight unique characters from different backgrounds embarking on separate journeys but coming together for the main story. Gameplay will also mostly be the same, but with some tweaks; for example, the Path Actions skills characters use will be different depending on the time of

In 2018, Square Enix found a way to return to its roots with the first Octopath Traveler game. Its unique (at the time) “2D-HD” visual art style allowed it to evoke the classic feel of their 8-bit and 16-bit RPGs while at the same time packing enough visual flair to compete with modern titles. Octopath Traveler was enough of a success that the art style was used in other Square games, most recently the Live A Live remake. Now a sequel is officially on the way to PS4, PS5, Switch and PC (the original has been released on Switch, PC and XBox, but oddly not Playstation). Octopath Traveler II will use mostly the same formula as the first one, with eight unique characters from different backgrounds embarking on separate journeys but coming together for the main story. Gameplay will also mostly be the same, but with some tweaks; for example, the Path Actions skills characters use will be different depending on the time of day. Break & Boost Battle System

Octopath Traveler Is Back — On Mobile Anyway

This week, Square Enix’s long-awaited remake of the lost SNES classic Live A Live was released internationally. Millions are now getting the chance to enjoy this formerly Japan-exclusive title from the company’s Golden Age, now reproduced in the studio’s “H2-2D” style. A style that, by the way, just happened to be introduced by the game this article is talking about, so…cue segue! A prequel to Octopath Traveler has just landed, but we have to tell you — it’s a mobile game. Mobile games have a well-deserved rep for being worse than any other type of video game, and we won’t fib here and claim there aren’t freemium mechanics in this one too. But if you want Octopath on the go, and you can’t bring your Switch with you for some reason, there’s a simple solution as of now. The game is set a few years prior to the events of Octopath Traveler, at a time when cruel tyrants rule the world of Orsterra. Their greed and destruction have brought forth

Octopath Traveler is definitely coming to the PC June 7, because today the point of no return for this release appeared: Square officially set up preorders on Steam. Is there a point to pre-ordering something that will never run out of copies due to its digital nature? It depends on what extras are being offered and whether you’re interested. A beta test isn’t possible due to this game being already playable on Switch, so Square is offering eleven desktop wallpapers featuring detailed art of the environments and characters. Launched in 2018 (and tested with a demo in 2017), Octopath Traveler takes inspiration from Square’s roots by presenting pixelated characters and environments rendered in a 3D focus. We’re not aware at this time of any differences or improvements the PC version of Octopath could sport in comparison to the Switch original….we just know it’s coming. In OCTOPATH TRAVELER, players will set forth on an epic adventure through the enchanting yet perilous continent of Orsterra, stretching across vast landscapes from lush forests,

Pretty soon, the lack of Switch ownership will not be an excuse to avoid playing Square-Enix’s Octopath Traveler. Square announced today a PC version of the game is on the way. Launched in 2018 (and tested with a demo in 2017), Octopath Traveler takes inspiration from Square’s roots by presenting pixelated characters and environments rendered in a 3D focus. We’re not aware at this time of any differences or improvements the PC version of Octopath could sport in comparison to the Switch original….we just know it’s coming. In OCTOPATH TRAVELER, players will set forth on an epic adventure through the enchanting yet perilous continent of Orsterra, stretching across vast landscapes from lush forests, to desert outposts and snow-swept cathedrals. Featuring eight distinct characters each with their own tales to enjoy, ranging from journeys of self-discovery to quests for revenge, each traveler will start their journey in a different land so players can steer their own journey depending on whom they choose. Octopath Traveler is expanding its reach in other ways….a

If you still haven’t played Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler, get on that. After many false starts and botched attempts, Square has finally, successfully captured the spirit of oldschool 90s RPGs while updating them for a modern generation. It alone is worth the price of a Switch. But if you don’t have a Switch, or you find stuffing one in your pocket to be rather difficult? Square is working on that…a spinoff of Octopath Traveler is headed to mobile devices. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is its name. It plays in the same manner (albeit with touch and swipe controls) and the story is a prequel to the Switch game. HD-2D for smartphones – 3D CG screen effects added to pixelized graphics create a magical world on smartphones. Eight-character party command-based battles – Form a party of up to eight characters to fight in evolved command-based battles. Smooth gameplay with swipe controls. Choice of story between three reigning champions – The setting is the Orsterra continent. The protagonist is a

Octopath Traveler Is Already Sold Out

Square-Enix’s Octopath Traveler is one of the best-reviewed Switch games of 2018. It’s also impossible to buy physically at the moment. Most Gamestop outlets are out of copies. Amazon is completely sold out (sorry if you thought waiting until Prime Day would be a shrewd strategy). Walking into Target the day of release, I saw the shelf empty — and it had only been a few hours. The clerk working there told me they only received FOUR copies that morning. He also looked like he had to answer that question already. Part of the reason was because it was an anticipated game, but the bigger problem was that Square figured the game would be niche and low-balled the print run. This didn’t just happen in America — the release was timed globally, and copies were rare in Japan as well. Square formally apologized to angry would-be consumers on Twitter today, in this Japanese tweet that was translated by IGN: “We are sorry that some of the shops are out of
