Rich at GameSpew: I wanted to like Octopath Traveler. I really did. But after 20 or so hours, I just couldn't bring myself to play it any more.
"Today, Square Enix® announced that "OCTOPATH TRAVELER" is now available to purchase for the PlayStation®5 (PS5®) and PlayStation®4 (PS4®) consoles and "OCTOPATH TRAVLER II" is now available for the first time on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, meaning that the award-winning RPG series is now available to play across all current console platforms and PC (Windows PC and STEAM®)." - Square Enix.
Publisher Square Enix and developer ACQUIRE have released Octopath Traveler for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for $59.99. A bundle containing both games.
Would anyone recommed this game to someone who has 0 patience for lengthy dialogues and slow combat?
Combat is quick for a turn based game. But there will be some grinding here abd there. Check some gameplay videos.
No. These games are overrated. Play romancing saga 2/3 if you want a phenomenal rpg without endless dialogue.
Unfortunately Romancing SaGa is not on GoG and I'm not sure the Steam port has been fixed. It's cheap though.
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
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
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
What’s weird is it was on Xbox… but then PS5 got Octopath 2 and Xbox didn’t 🤷♂️
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
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!
“Why I've Stopped Playing Octopath Traveler“
I also quit playing. It’s a beautiful game and the combat system is one of the best but some of the character stories such as Haanit was awful. The difficulty increase in the later chapter is crazy. You have to grind for a long time to even have a chance.
“With Olberic at around level 5 after completing the first chapter of his story, I was shocked to see that the second chapter came with a level recommendation in the twenties.”
I also thought that was crazy. They really want you to grind that’s for sure.
and thus this game isn't for everyone.
RPGs can test ones patience...
Why do people act like every game is for everyone ? Every single game has people that like it or hate it even crappy games. We don’t need an article for every person that doesn’t like a game . Also sounds like you didn’t take the right path by trying out all the characters or most of them at least before trying to go to deeper into the game .
I'm gonna write an article titles "Why I, among with many others, truly don't care why you stopped playing a damn videogame". Will probably get more clicks.
