wesnytsfs15d ago

Yep downloaded it last night. Was worried it was mistake.

InUrFoxHole15d ago

Yeah saw this on GP and downloaded immediately

Would anyone recommed this game to someone who has 0 patience for lengthy dialogues and slow combat?

VincentCastle15d ago

Combat is quick for a turn based game. But there will be some grinding here abd there. Check some gameplay videos.

VersusDMC15d ago

There's a demo for octopath 2 to see if you're into it.

remixx11615d ago

Its worth it, just dont play them both back to back, you may burn out

VincentVanBro15d ago

The dialog is great but it is long at times. You can skip it though.

SegaSaturn66914d ago

No. These games are overrated. Play romancing saga 2/3 if you want a phenomenal rpg without endless dialogue.

anast14d ago

Unfortunately Romancing SaGa is not on GoG and I'm not sure the Steam port has been fixed. It's cheap though.

Stanlittle14d ago

No. The 2nd one is much much better and you don't need to play the first one at all.

I hope we get a North American PS5 physical, but unfortunately I don't think it's likely

shinoff218315d ago

Do you know if it can be imported I've no issue with imports. Long as it's got English on it. My latest import is the man who erased his name

Nintendo be buying 6 year exclusivity windows up in here. Glad this game is FINALLY coming to Playstation

CrimsonWing6916d ago

What’s weird is it was on Xbox… but then PS5 got Octopath 2 and Xbox didn’t 🤷‍♂️

Michiel198915d ago

square just loves a bag up front for everything they do, it's too obvious now. With ff7r release on pc they only released it on epic game store for a year or something, such a dumb move.

They are probably stopping with that now with their new multiplat strategy, but we'll see

ziggyzinfirion16d ago

I hope this is true and not just some error because I am really excited after reading this one.

helicoptergirl15d ago

It's true. Thegame is on the Playstation store right now

FACTUAL evidence16d ago

Omg please let this be true! I literally was waiting for this before OT2 came out for ps4/5. I did not want to start it before I played 1. I know they are two different stories btw, but I just wanted the first platinum before I begin 2. Let this be real!

helicoptergirl15d ago

It's on the Playstation Store right now. It's true alright yay!!!
