Interview: Octopath Traveler 2 Devs on Series Goals, the First Game Skipping PlayStation, and More

Push Square: "We think Octopath Traveler II is a fantastic RPG, and so we were delighted to be given the opportunity to interview two of the game's key developers. Director Keisuke Miyauchi and producer Masashi Takahashi were kind enough to answer our questions about the sequel's improvements, its development, and why the first game isn't available on PlayStation platforms."

Not only first game not available on PlayStation. how come Octopath Traveler II isn't on Xbox when the first game is? Makes no sense that this game came out on PlayStation when the first game isn't. yet not on Xbox while the first game is on Xbox.

That's what I said makes no sense period definitely after he said "the team also wanted to challenge ourselves to try to get the game on as many platforms as possible."
But then he said "Apart from that, we made the decision internally after observing the sales of other titles."

That makes sense but then still shouldve been on xbox unless they gonna release later on
