Daphne Fama: "But it’s not all roses. Certain features of Octopath Traveler II can be outright frustrating. While exploration is a cornerstone of this game, the mini map for the routes always feel like someone is gesturing broadly in the direction I should go versus actually telling me how to get there. The strange decision to force you to keep your starting character as your “main” character until their arc is complete baffled me in the original Octopath Traveler and it baffles me now. But these thorns are few and Octopath Traveler II has already cemented itself as my comfort game of 2023."

Will you strike out on a journey to recruit companions, face formidable foes in the dungeon depths, or simply enjoy the beauty of the world?
Alongside Octopath Traveler II's release on Xbox and Game Pass today, Square Enix has rolled out a new update for the RPG.
It allows you to access a new mode called 'Extra Battle', which is available once you defeat the game's final boss. This includes the ability to test your skills against even tougher opponents than the ones in the main game, including the cast of the first Octopath Traveler.
