Keeping this and Triangle Strategy on Nintendo hurts bruh. I need it on playstation

 

[TintoConCasera]

Loved the first one, this is a day 1 get.

Will we get a demo?

 

[drganon]

Still haven't made it that far in the first one. Liked Triangle Strategy alot more.

 

[Labadal]

I actually cheered in real life!

You can play Octopath on Xbox.

 

[SmokedMeat]

They’re both coming to PC also.

 

[adamsapple]

You can play Octopath on Xbox.

Also PC and Stadia.

 

[Pejo]

First game was a surprise hit for me, I bought it 3 times - Switch version, then collector's version, then on Steam.

New cast looks ok, but this time I hope they intertwine the stories and go a little deeper on them. In the original, after each character's chapter 1, the stories kinda lost their way. Battle system looks intact, which I enjoyed. I'm excited to see the improvements.

 

[reksveks]

Yeah, thre was a GMG image for Triangle Strategy and Octopath 2 re: steam. I wonder if they are coming to Xbox PC.

 

[anthony2690]

I wonder if this will come to Xbox too?

Nice, will get on PC and try it on Switch via moonlight, should be comfy enough.

 

[anthony2690]

I'm convinced they pull a ticket at the hat to decide whether to being games to Xbox.

The first some how made it to Xbox, but this one? Nope XD

 

[Little Mac]

Played it on gamepass and just couldn’t get into it. Loved the art style and 2DHD aesthetic. Only played first chapters of hannit, thief dude, healer and Cyrus for what it’s worth. Maybe it gets better. I kinda didn’t like the battle system’s Break mechanic either. Rogue Legacy 2 pulled me away from it and I never went back.

[reksveks]

Kinda annoyed no Xbox release but ehh, steam deck will be in play i guess.

Its right on the trailer that the stories will be intertwined.The question is to what extent, but given that this was shown on the trailer, enough so that people will be satisfied

Guess Octopath 1 and 2 will be at today SoP.

Fucking sony always moneyhating games.

 

[The_hunter]

It's coming to playstation too!

 

[Nautilus]

MS probably paid for it to be there.Square is probably waiting for that to happen

 

[GHG]

Because they sent them a load of cash as part of a gamepass deal.

 

[Moonjt9]

What a surprise!!! Loved the first game, this is Day one for sure.

 

[FStubbs]

Octopath 2 is coming to ps5. Wonder if they will release the first one there too now.

I've always thought 1 would end up on PS5 at some point.

 

[reksveks]

Guess Octopath 1 and 2 will be at today SoP.

Should do yeah, so that's 1/2 minutes sorted.

Fucking sony always moneyhating games.

Damn those f&^%ers /s ehh, i think SE are big boys and can decide what platforms to release on. I may however linger hopes of a GP deal that gets announced Thursday or whenever. Sucker for punishment.

 

[Raven117]

If it pulls together in a collective whole...maybe.

Kinda wish they just said to the team "make a spiritual successor to FFVI." That's what we all want.

 

[64bitmodels]

I haven't beaten the first one but it was mildly fun
Triangle strategy interests me more

well we can probably guess one of the things coming in Sony’s State of Play this evening then

Kinda annoyed no Xbox release but ehh, steam deck will be in play i guess.

probably didn’t do as well as Square-Enix would like, I’m sure we’ll see a late port that comes straight to GamePass

 

[Punished Miku]

Shitty its not on Xbox. Im doing switch anyway like the 1st one

 

[nial]

It's also coming to PlayStation so expect a PS4/PS5 port of the first game being announced on today's State of Play.

 

[Danjin44]

I mean in all honesty speaking, if you fan of JRPGS, Switch, PS5 and even PC it’s much better choice than Xbox.

maybe that and/or SE really knows how to get money out of Phil/Xbox. Incentives does get a bit weird when you have a subscription model service.

I mean in all honesty speaking, if you fan of JRPGS, Switch, PS5 and even PC it’s much better choice than Xbox.

Yeah, you can't rely on Xbox for all of the games, "enough jrpg's" might depend on how much you play. Steam Deck does seem like a good bet going forwards.

 

[DarkMage619]

That is largely because those games don't get released on the platform. Can't support a title on Xbox that never gets released on the system.

Sure but also most of the time JRPGs sell better on Switch and Playstation than Xbox since most of the audience own Nintendo and Playstation systems.

 

[jaysius]

If the stories don't interlace in this one, then the entire concept is a bust.

 

[TintoConCasera]

 

[PJX]

Can't sell what you don't advertise. All those games usually come late to the Xbox or it's advertise for the PS / Switch only.

I’m not 100% sure, how much Scarlet Nexus which mostly advertised on Xbox sold on Xbox compare to Playstation?

 

[Fbh]

I hope the story is better in this one.
Loved the gameplay and music of the original but I found most stories rather boring and I didn't end up finishing it

 

[Captain Toad]

Keeping this and Triangle Strategy on Nintendo hurts bruh. I need it on playstation

I love them on Switch, but I'd also love to platinum them.

Well, not Triangle Strategy. That game was fine, but I couldn't replay a game that is that long and still 80% cutscenes.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

While I loved the gameplay (well, really liked) the 1st, I've never played a game disrespectful of a player's time. Yeah, sure it's a JRPG but for the relevant total ending to be obscenely high leveled, I did the 8 stories and watched the end on YouTube so I will wait to hear about it before I try the 2nd

Is Triangle Strategy better in this sense?

 

[Dontkidyourselfjimmy]

Unless they improve the overall story not interested in this. First game became tiresome.

 

[wvnative]

I was deeply disappointed in the first one, no character interaction between party members and each chapter had such a huge bump in enemy levels it felt grindy. I felt misled by the demo.

But I LOVED the game's concept, I hope this one is improved

 

[jshackles]

Square Enix is killing it lately. Feels like I'm drowning in Switch RPGs from now until at least late next year

Dragon Quest X Offline
Diofield Chronicle
Harvestella
Tactics Ogre
Romancing Saga Remaster
Dragon Quest Treasures
Crisis Core
Octopath 2
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

EDIT: and I still plan on finishing Live A Live, after I'm done with Xenoblade Chronicles 3

 

[Nautilus]

Square just announced that the first Octopath Traveler sold 3+ million units.
