"Every party member in Octopath Traveler has a special ability that allows them to interact with NPCs throughout the world. Ophilia the cleric and Primrose the dancer can temporarily recruit NPCs into the party and summon them during battles. -Spoilers ahead- One unassuming old man is able to unleash Hell upon enemies. You can find him in the town of Bolderfell, where Therion initially starts his story. It takes a little bit of work to recruit him. If you head down near where the tavern is, you can find an NPC guarding a house. You’ll need either H’aanit or Olberic to challenge them to a fight. Once you defeat them, you can enter the house and meet a lonely old man. Don’t be fooled; this guy is awesome." - Heather Alexandra of Kotaku

Would anyone recommed this game to someone who has 0 patience for lengthy dialogues and slow combat?
I hope we get a North American PS5 physical, but unfortunately I don't think it's likely
Octopath traveler is a beautiful journey and game, glad that more people can play it now.
The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated the original Octopath Traveler for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
Nintendo be buying 6 year exclusivity windows up in here. Glad this game is FINALLY coming to Playstation
I hope this is true and not just some error because I am really excited after reading this one.
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!
And thank you, Heather.
There's an old woman in a graveyard in some town who I think you can recruit as well. She had a maxed out level on her anyways, so I didn't even think to recruit her. I just knew I couldn't beat her at the time.
