The follow-up to 2018’s Octopath Traveler had a simple task: take what made the original game good and add just enough to make the sequel better. Although Octopath Traveler II doesn’t do anything groundbreaking in the JRPG genre, it sticks to what it knows best and does it all so very well.
Total shipments and digital sales for Octopath Traveler II have surpassed one million units worldwide, publisher Square Enix and developer Acquire announced.
Good to hear. Would liked to have seen more sold but I'm just as guilty. Will buy but 50 is a bit to much for me without having played the first one. Say what you will I'm just like that. While I did try it on gamepass I never dug deep. Held out hoping for a ps version then it just kinda got lost
WTMG's Baylen Marston: "An in-depth look at the cast of characters in Octopath Traveler II."
Octopath Traveler II team briefly comments on the possibility of Octopath Traveler III and the decision to pursue evolution for the sequel.
Can’t wait to see how they expand on OT.
I think this can end up being a huge franchise for Square, but feel like they need to make some advancements in the next game. Both 1 and 2 were fantastic
I really enjoyed 2, but it really felt like OT 1.5 and not like OT 2. I was quite disappointed with how samey it was.
Probably because 2 sold like sh*t.
It's funny, I remember being downvoted here for saying that HD2D was the draw, not Octopath itself. And that when better rpg's used the style, Octopath's blandness would become apparent.
And here we are, proving that true.
I think the game price point is the reason for the sluggish sales should be 39.99 instead of 59.99 since the pixel graphics RPG games is kinda niche. It wasn't gonna sale well anyway but it would've sold better at a lower price
that sucks... I get it, when games don't sell this is what happens, but man I liked this series.
