crack when?
Gabriel Perez
>$60 for a console port that looks like it was made 20 years ago
Meh. I'll wait until it's on sale for like $10.
Justin Wright
not anytime soon, denuvo is kicking ass lately
Alexander Watson
or you could just pirate it once it gets cracked.
Leo Brooks
I just tried to click on the first preview image in OP haha holy shit
Wyatt Bailey
once you get the 4 divine sub classes in mid game the game is easy as shit. the only fun you will have is Galdera, the final bosss
David Bennett
I rather play Live a Live desu
Easton Jackson

This is weird. When I type in the name it doesn't even give a popup in the search bar and even though I am signed in I can't add to wishlist or anything for it.

Crack when?
Regional pricing is bullshit. Fuck you nintendo, i'm not buying this game for your insane price

Ophilia is the canon MC since she's affiliated with the leader of the twelve gods.

I don’t want to shatter your illusions but the plot sucks ass. Good musics and good gameplay that’s all.
Mason Ramirez
B-bros, what's she whispering to her?
Nicholas Diaz
Have fun, PC bros.
Speaking of ports... Is Phantom Doctrine a good game? It's coming out on Switch next week, 20 euros is pricetag but 30% off for me.
Jayden Hughes

It's hard to tell what I'll be doing in half a year, when the game is $30 as it should be.

I'd rather wait a few months until it get cracked to be honest.
Jeremiah Foster
Carter Sanders
Was really excited until denuvo got revealed. I've been looking for an excuse to replay it as it was my favorite game from last year, guess I'll wait a week for the crack.
Also protip for new people: Tressa chapter 2 is the casual filter of the game.
Connor Ortiz
One of the most boring and tedious rpgs I have ever played, I don't understand what the hype was about except for the charming 2d graphics.
Levi Butler
This. Square is delusional
Connor Foster
>60 bucks for a year old game with 0 new content or features
Yeah, I don't think so.
Joseph Scott
this
there's literally no reason for it to be $60 other than hurrdurr it's a pc game.
This shit could run on a 3DS.
Joshua James
It's not awful. The core gameplay is kind of a simplified version of nu-XCOM with some quirks (for example, it doesn't use hit percentages), but with a much greater emphasis on stealth (which is pretty fun but super exploitable once you git gud). The strategic layer gameplay is much more involved than XCOM's, but doesn't really add much depth or complexity.
If you liked the nu-XCOM games I would say $15 is a fair price for it. If you didn't like nu-XCOM, don't bother.
Robert Evans
It’s just that at that time they had nothing on Nintendo Switch. Look at how excited they are when a 20 y.o game is released.
Justin Reyes
I spent like 30 hour on this game waiting for something interesting to happen, expecting it to get difficult or the story to go off the rails, but it never did.
IDK why this game even exists.
Jackson Ramirez
Thank you, user. I was afraid of that.
I think I will buy Hard West, then. It's 50% off atm. Or just pirate Left Alive on PC, I want to see how bad it is.
Colton Turner
I never understood this game, even as a Switch owner. What the fuck is the point if the 8 characters they advertise don't even interact with each other?
Asher Lewis
Protip: take tressa or that thief guy as your protagonist for easy items/equipment and money.
the second class shrines are all visible on the minimap, just walk to them.
the hidden class shrines are visible as well but require a boss fight, which you probably aren't prepared for until endgame. Only 2 out of 4 hidden classes are worth it tho (the sorcerer and the warmaster or whatever it was called)
Ethan Robinson
>Denuvo
Fuck off.
Luke Kelly
^this, holy shit.
If they released the port at 30$ like any normal devs I'd buy it day one.
Now ill wait for 75% just to spite them, my backlog is bloated enough to not mind the wait.
Julian Perry
I SAID POST SOME TRESSA
Josiah Bailey
They do interact with each other? Just not really in a meaningful or interesting way.
Joshua Wright
She’s telling her that she’s into girls now and that Tressa is cute. CUTE.
Angel Nguyen
Leo Jenkins
Disgusting footfag. Those feet aren’t even cute
Ryder Hill
Banters suck. There’s no great plot like in FF6 for example. And the individual stories really suck. Generic and boring.
Dylan Mitchell
Have fun pc bros, it's a good game

Nah 5 devs in the passed years that released their ported game for half-price on steam.
Wyatt Morgan

The game is bad though. Why would PC bros want it for any other reason but to say it is no longer exclusive?

Elijah Thomas
I summon Balogar, mightiest of mages!
Camden White
Can you get wrapped up in the stories?
Jaxon Garcia
Some of them are pretty good. Tressa is like a 90's anime about being a merchant. Scientist/Professor dude is pretty fun as well. The other ones are average at best and boring at worst.
Blake Collins
Austin Kelly
It’s honestly a pretty boring turn based rpg...music is cool but thats it
Juan Gutierrez
Jonathan Cooper
$60?
Oof, I already got it on steam.
I was interested in seeing what it was like in 1440p but not for that much.
I imagine it'll drop down to $30 soon enough
Cooper Rodriguez
It's like they're doing everything they can to get me to pirate
Kayden Allen
>Ultimate pleb filter game
>m-m-muh character interaction
Just pissed off pedo weebs that there isn't more fapbait in-game. They want a lesbian make out scene or something.
Great game well worth full price, though I do understand why PCJews would be upset when they're used to pirating everything. Hopefully no one cares enough to crack it and people are forced to pay for it. Honestly not even sure why Square bothered porting it.
Zachary Howard
Its not a grand, sweeping epic. They are 8 separate short stories that are all a small piece of a larger post game conclusion wrapping up in a super boss several orders of magnitude harder than the normal bosses.
During 1 character's story, the other characters don't interact with it, but they will comment on it.
Grayson Morris
Fuck this gay bullshit. I'm going to reinstall BG instead, the non EE version.

Liam Hill
First 80 hours 6/10 difficulty, mostly because all the stories are self contained.
Last, LITERALLY final boss, UNIRONICALLY the last enemy in the game
Difficulty 15/10
Why do games do this?
Austin Cooper
Last boss is too hard. 2/10
Levi Nguyen
You guys should try Absolute Conqueror fight in The Last Remnant.
Isaac Flores
>more like Octomom: Travel 'er? I barely knew 'er
Noah Collins
Useless. Sorcerer break the game on it's own.
Camden Myers
Only a problem if you're bad at the video game. Which happens a lot because people get suckered into this erroneous idea that you shouldn't grind or a bug will make the game impossible. That was a bug only present on the XBOX 360 version of the game and it was patched. But this hogwash warning is still repeated so people end up fucking themselves by playing the game incorrectly.
Jordan Bennett
I'll buy octopus troubadour when it goes on sale
Carson Barnes

Still easier than white conqueror or lost.

Yeah that price is nuts. I bought DMC5 Deluxe Edition and Monster Hunter World for that same amount.
Thomas Foster
mega cringe
Jace Kelly
For people who like job and battle systems. Story is irrelevant, this game would be 100% better if they took out what little there is currently.
Evan Cooper
which one's the femdom or the cute shota char?
that one
Samuel Bailey
Sora Shiina
Evan Howard
H'aanit for femdom and Therion or Alfyn are both very youthful, but are both adults
Evan Martinez
Cyrus is best boy and I love him (no homo).
Xavier Bailey
I thought his story was pretty neat. It might have had one of the least interesting final boss fights, but the conclusion to the story was excellent and the Alfyn might have had the best chapter 2 as well.
Joshua Lopez
Whats' the probability that i will like this if i loved Bravely Default?
William Cooper
I second this, how similar is the power system or whatever it's called in Octopath to Bravely default's brave system?
Easton Cruz
Pretty similar. You can't go negative though, meaning you cant go hogwild turn 1 on random encounters to end them instantly. You can also customize skills to a similar extent.
Jackson Baker
It just confused me, it doesn't really start until chapter 3 and he walks from one end of the continent to the other twice, without a clear reason.
Yeah sure he wants to help and cure people, but why did he have to walk from one end to the other, wouldn't the neighboring village have sick people as well?
His second chapter just feels like they didn't actually know what to do with him and had to fill an event for the seaside town because everywhere else already 2 events going for it.
Once you meet that other grumpy apothecary it's fine.
Jose Diaz
Hm... I dislike Bravely D., never played Second, love Octopath. But then, again, I prefer FF Four Heroes of Light over Octopath.
Brody Martin
Hope you enjoy it user's, my main team was Thief, doctor, merchant and hunter
Ethan Lee
Check out green man gaming
Michael Brooks
Classes are less flexible but every single one of them is useful. Every character has a base class and can take on another class. Its dual classing, not subjobs, ie your character takes on the appearance of the second job and can use all weapons and armor from either job, so you can have a heavy armor wearing sword wielding Scholar. There are also 4 advanced jobs that are super powerful, but you need to defeat them to use them, like asterisks. BP are slightly different as you don't get 4 separate actions, you can increase the potency of 1 action by several times. Equipment matters a lot more but its not exactly difficult to get. Money is extremely valuable from start to finish. Random encounters go from dangerous to minor nuisance and back again very quickly. The metal slime/cactaur/chomper of this game is the Cait, which looks like Cait Sith from ff7.
Doesn't have a 'no encounters' button but the 'reduce encounters' trait is extremely easy to get and cuts it down so you have perhaps 1 fight per screen. Dungeon design is pretty much the same but with more 3D tricks to hide shit from you. Difficulty scales a lot better. Final boss is absolutely monstrous compared to Ouroborus or Providence.
With sufficient knowledge of the game it folds like any other JRPG would, speedrunners can do Final boss runs in 5 hours while my first playthrough I didn't even find the damn final boss till ~80 hours in, let alone put a scratch in the boss gauntlet before him.
Cameron King
Honestly, it's not a great game. The story is almost non-existent and the combat gets stale fast. Wait for a sale if you really want to pick this up.
Michael Thompson
no, that's what made it boring
Oliver Ramirez
If you like turnbased jrpg battle systems, this one is pretty good tbqh
Nathaniel Cruz
Cyrus is the undisputed best starter from what i've seen
Justin White

Wyatt Green

?
Oliver Bailey
its the opposite. now that its on PC its ok to like it
Jack Martinez
Pick Therion because you'll always need his skill in dungeons. Tressa becomes unbelievably OP at some point if you build her that way. Also as someone who 100%ed it don't do it because it's not worth it at all.
Juan Richardson
Why is it more expensive then a physical switch copy in Canada?
Luis Reyes
lol... no, no it hasn't. Rage 2's early leak that had denuvo was cracked same day. So Beth turned around and removed denuvo from the game shortly afterwards.
The only games that haven't been cracked are games that most people don't care about.
Ryan Fisher

will probably torrent it, get a trainer to unlock everything, dick around, and then uninstall it.

>AND denuvo
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that. If it's not $20 in a year then I just won't play it. not gonna pay full price for some fucking late ass half assed port.
Camden Harris
If you turn off the voice acting, then maybe. Greatly improved the game for me but I still can't really get into it, even after ~40 hours.
Ryder Phillips
a few actresses had some uncensored set photos leaked a few months back, crossing my fingers she's next.
Ethan Robinson
I own the game for Switch but never beat it due to the grindy slow pace of the combat. I might buy it again for PC if there are mods to speed the game up.
Ethan Sanchez
>a few actresses had some uncensored set photos leaked a few months back
Oh really? How? What? Where? Who?
Josiah Clark
Its a proper final boss that requires you to understand game mechanics and punishes you for playing like an idiot

I'm excited for this just because there might finally be some more threads on this game. I really enjoyed it and hope you PCbros do too.
Daniel Torres
Just save yourself the trouble and play ff6 again. This game is desperately trying to be those old ones but isn't near as good
Hudson Cooper
Therion was my starter, but I went to get Cyrus first after him
Owen Wood

Luis Jenkins
>still shilling this garbage
Ryan Powell

Mason Watson
Already played it back in the day, but good to know other people can play it
It's exactly like those old rpg from 25 years ago but with nice artstyle, so if you love that kind of stuff go ahead and have fun
The funny thing is that it's more ff than ff right now
Thomas Sanchez
I'll wait for PS4 port.
Julian Gonzalez
PLS BUY THIS GAME. I WANT BRAVELY 3, EVEN IF ITS MULTIPLAT
Ethan Brown
How many hours of gameplay do you think is fair per dollar spent?
Brody Bailey
It was the first Jrpg i played in the last 4 years and it was pretty decent.
Some of the stories were pretty good some just medicore.
The optional boss was pretty hard . I liked the artstyle and the fact i had many options to play the game with different characters.

Man, I'm still on the fence with this release.
Was planning for a while to get it and play it on the side when E3 conferences are streaming but I don't know.
That was before I completed Persona 5 and started to dip my toes into Shin Megami Tensei. I don't think I can stomach more than one turn based strategy game at a time and I"m torn between going deeper into SMT with games I already own or paying full price to start a game I might run out of steam early on.
I'll probably just wait for release so people can report how good the port is. It's not like I need the wallpaper preorder and the file size is small enough I don't need to think about preloading.
Jack Harris
Olberic is the big O, pleb
Jonathan Carter
Haven't taken interest in the game until recently, so no. (not familiar with all the character's names)
That's cool as fuck.
Jaxon Brooks
Can you romance lolis in this game?
If not its gonna be a hard pass for me
Joseph Collins
He isn't. Look at their location on the map.

Apothecary has an Elder God Tier ultimate ability. The Priest ultimate works very well together with mages and the merchant's Hired Help in the mid game.
If you struggle with money very early on, you can collect money with Tressa's passive quickly by sneaking around high level areas. There's a level 40 cave in her starting area, too.

Luke Taylor
>octopath is just the last night with every palette turned into a mix of beige and brown
Objectively wrong. OT has every shade of color you can think of in the game. But clearly you're probably more interested games like nu Pokemon just overlaying assets on top of each other and calling it graphics rather than hand crafted 2dhd pixel work
Fuck off brainlet faggot

once you train the regular job skills, their ultimate skill at the bottom is revealed. There's also hidden jobs with very powerful skills.
Michael Adams
Wyatt Nguyen
It will frustrate you big time because its job system is insultingly shallow.
The story is all over the place because 8 paths meme and the only interesting fight that also happens to put some reason in the entire world building that seemingly kept going nowhere is locked in post game and hidden so diligently that you are very likely to not experience it unless you follow a guide or re-explore every location for no reason.
Also, Bravely Sword died for this unfinished proof of concept so sincerely fuck this game.

I'm starting with Tressa. I know basically next to nothing about the actual game aside from the protagonists and the stuff that was in the original reveal trailer, so I'm pretty excited to find out just how good this game is.
Matthew Powell
Tressa's the cutest! Admittedly, her chapter 1 is probably the most dull of all the travelers, but I theyll pick up steam fast. You should recruit Olberic as your second character, since he's right next to Tressa's area anyway!
Ryan Collins
You just outed yourself as a fellow footfag
Josiah Wilson
Tressa is fun but her story is one of the weakest, with maybe only Alfyn being worse

Colton Nguyen
I'd buy it on steam if Square showed willingness to make use of the engine for future games. I'd much prefer this look over the Bravely Default low poly look.
Jackson Gray
Not as much variety in how classes play, but the BP system is a more aggressive version of the Brave/Default system eg. you "Default" every turn.
Owen Nguyen
Pretty good:
Tressa
Olberic
Cyrus
Therion
Boring:
Ha'anit

Josiah Bennett
I''m going to wait for a mod that makes every character get exp at the same time. Fuck managing 8 characters.
Carter Hernandez
Started with Alfyn. Amputate ruins everything and you always have an element to break on hand. Therion and Primrose being nearby let you abuse their debuff/buffs hard.
Christian Brown
I agree with the low poly thing. Bravely's models/bestiary were extremely boring with that low poly look. OT's boss enemies are delightful to look at.
Samuel Morris
Is this going to bomb on PC?
I hope it doesn't.
Andrew Barnes
>OT's boss enemies are delightful to look at.
They look worse than the DS metal Max games.
I've seen SNES games with better animated enemy sprites than those.
Christopher Gonzalez
It'll probably get mixed reviews on steam due to denuvo + high price, but I doubt it'll bomb in terms of sales.
Michael Foster
There's a lot of potential with the engine that I'm very disappointed to not see Square take advantage of. The newest Secret of Mana remake should have been built on it, though the SoM remake was made to be played on phones so maybe that wouldn't have been possible.
Nathan Sanders
You realize that enemy sprites on SNES Final Fantasy games didn't even have animations, lil zoom?
Ethan Moore
nope the story is mediocre to forgettable, none of the characters stories will illicit anymore than perhaps a chuckle here and there and maybe a "i guess i should feel sad" kinda moment from you. for an rpg the story is extremely weak, the main cast forgettable, barely any character interaction. If you care more about gameplay, music, and design then it really is a must buy. A fun combat system with the ability to make your own builds on different characters. Catchy and memorable soundtrack. The art design is beautiful. Endgame is lacking though, there is only one final boss, afterwards there isn't much else to do, so it hurts replayability, unless your super autismo and want to go through the game again. A solid 8/10 rpg hope you pc fags like it.
Robert Morris
whatever you say dude. Animation isn't the reason why Octopath's sprites are good, but because they ooze personality.

FFXV is as shitty as they get, but let's be honest, this Octopath doens't seem any better. I haven't played it, but looks like a brain-dead story-first barely interactive nonsense that's basically SaGa for the mentally challenged. Am I wrong?

have you not read the thread? it gets criticised for not having enough of a story. Octopath's main qualities is its gameplay, art and music
Noah Martinez
if it were 40, i would have bought it. what a waste
Julian Perry
Good to see you guys are excited for it
Hopefully they'll release it on xone and ps4, third party games should be on every possible platform unless rare cases like bayonetta(nintendo payed everything) or bloodborne(sony directly had a team working on it)

Gabriel Cooper
>this game is not worth $60
This is just stupid and clearly made by people who know nothing about this game. This game is NOT an indie game, not in the slightest.
As a Switch owner who loved this game, let me state the facts for you:
If you do all the side and end game content, this will take you close to 100 hours to complete.
Full orchestrated soundtrack and one of the best of ANY game that I have heard. You will get goosebumps fighting some of the epic bosses in this.
One of the best turn based systems ever created. Full of depth yet incredibly easy to learn.
Gorgeous pixel art graphics which is blended with flashy 3d effects. The game is gorgeous and looks like a pop up book. This is certainly not your average run of the mill pixel based game.
A large overworld and map to explore with lots of secrets and different themed areas.
8 different characters all with their own stories. Although some would say it's disappointing it doesn't have a single overarching plot. The characters also don't speak to each other except for a few skits like the 'tales of' games.
This game felt very much like a AAA game to me and it justifies its price tag just as much as others. Please do not make your purchasing decision based on ignorance

Show me a single instance of Octopath looking better than something as old as RnH, and this is being generous and not using other better looking 2D games.

Nobody in their sane mind would defend it. The quesiton is whether it's bad or irrelevant. We argue it's irrelevant, and whining about it is just a meme.
Of course, if in any particular game it's implemented so poorly it affects performance, getting a refund and telling everyone makes perfect sense.
Bentley Cook
I want to restart this game without using Unparalleled Man too much or the Scholar in general. Its way to easy to spend a few turns buffing his already powerful magic and nuke everything to death.

Helpful little tool to help optimize your party: octopathplanner.com
Just make sure you keep most of your bases of damage dealing covered and have at least 1 person who can heal the team. I usually kept 1 as a priest and 1 as an apothecary for a secondary healer.
Also I found it easier to keep maybe 1 or 2 people in your party always so they can carry your lower level members through their story missions. Otherwise You'll have to deal with more grinding than is really worth it to make sure all your party members are the same level.
Thief is broken early game because you can steal gold, armor and weapons instead of paying for them like a chump.
Ryder Lewis
try solo Alfyn, it has that FF5 challenge run feeling

Tressa/Runeblade is completely broken. Make sure you use her on the final boss, it will make one of the two forms easy. I used her on the first form, but you should probably use her on the second form. She can make every character immune to physical damage for 4 turns, and give them an elemental attack when can be doubled in damage from the sorcerer's elemental aid passive. Also, ALL 8 characters should have saving grace as a passive. A good party setup is all you need to beat the final boss, which is an epic 30 minutes to 2 hour fight.
Nathan Brown
Will I be okay if I don't look into guides before playing? I'd like to get a bit of a feel for the game before I go in depth but the fact I have to immediately choose the character who is locked to the party for the rest of the run makes me think combing over resources beforehand would be ideal.
Are there any characters I would be especially shooting myself in the foot for taking? I was thinking of going with Tressa but an overview of the characters in the protagonist slot would be nice.
Austin Ramirez
Sure buddy, keep giving me more (You)s while you wait for your proctologist.
Owen Phillips
Have you played any of the Romancing Saga?
Ethan Torres
>Will I be okay if I don't look into guides before playing?
Definitely play it blind. The game is easy as shit on the second playthrough because you know what you're doing. For subsequent runs you'll want to do challenge runs like you would in Dark Souls to make it harder.
Landon Ward
Rage 2 is the only thing you can point to. "Games no one cares about" lol ok sour grapes. Crack watch is blowing up over three kingdoms, fastest selling game in their series, most concurrent players they've ever had. Anno 1800 is uncracked too, it's also very anticipated and the fastest seling game in the entire series. Mortal kombat 11 is still uncracked, the second best selling video game of all time for 2019 so far. What a prime example of sour grapes you are.
Eli Johnson
You can start with any character you like, it doesn't really make too much of a difference. I had no trouble whatsoever playing through the game without any guides.

Cool, I'll just go in blind and adapt later.
No, but I've been interested in the series after seeing descriptions. Just waiting for a quiet release schedule to get into it.
Benjamin Cox

Christian Smith
Hunter Edwards
Going in blind is fine, you won't be handicapping yourself with any of the characters. Just consider everyone's Talents before choosing a main character:
octopathtraveler.fandom.com
Because they will always be in your party, choosing someone with a good Talent makes the most sense. With Tressa, you will collect money on basically every screen, which helps a lot in early to mid game as money is sparce and gear is expensive.
Eli Perry
>Cool, I'll just go in blind and adapt later.
And I'm not kidding about how the game is easier if you know what you're doing. On your first playthrough it will take about 60 hours to beat the 8 stories and 10 hours of end-game to beat the final boss. But the game can be beaten in under 5 hours including the final boss by speedrunners.
Kevin Martinez
>Yeah might be co-
>$60
Nah
Kayden Moore
Probably the best RPG Square made this decade. Story is loose but the combat is pure kino.
My tip is to try and undersand Alphyn's exclusive concotion skills. They can break the game and allow you to get the Über Classes @ level 30 or something.
Blake Wilson
Yeah, didn't doubt it for a second. Given how open ended the game is it's only natural that it can be broken wide open.
Thank you, that is the kind of thing I wanted to know. I like the idea of H'aanit's monster capture system but that's probably just because I've been playing more Shin Megami Tensei and I"m sure it's pretty limited in scope given it's just on one character. Extra cash sounds nice though and I"m interested in Tressa's story.
Dylan Carter
Fucking zoomers can't deal with pixel art. The game is made in the Unreal Engine 4 and uses advanced Unreal Engine techniques, has about 100 hours of gameplay, and it had high enough production values to justify $60. But its pixel art so it's "indie shit". Zoomers should be gassed.

Saving Grace makes the game a lot easier, but is technically not needed when you use Cover on at least another character. The slot for SG can then be used for another damage boosting skill, which the game has a lot of.

What's with all the third world retards itt? Nobody fucking cares if you can't afford it, just let us talk about the fucking game please.

The conversation is centered on the price because those of us who are willing to pay can't actually play the game yet.
All we can do is get tips from the Switch people for when we can play the game tomorrow or post waifus.

This game comes out right at the start of the PS sale... and there were a few things I wanted to pick up from there...
Octopath will have to wait since I prioritize discounts over full priced games.

I 100%'d the game after 90 hours, unless you're a storyfag that unironically likes moviegames, this game is a gem, even despite some of the flaws it has.
Alexander Bell
Prepare to be disappointed. Smash convinced me to finally get a switch, but this was another cause for it.
When I finally got it, I was disappointed. Its pretty much 8 different rpgs plotwise, but none of them are really connected. There is very very little party interaction. On top of that, only like 2 of the 8 stories are even interesting.
Im sure some people enjoy it, but I did not. I hope you do if you're set on buying it.
I'd suggest pirating it first, and buying it, if its your thing.
Jason Lewis
Remember
Concoct is fucking broken
Anthony Richardson

Yeah that's going to be a pirate for me then, I might buy it after if I really enjoy it though. What about the soundtrack, difficulty?

Worst premise but Miguel saves it by making Alfyn look like a dumbass and really making him to an introspective take.
Alfyn literally lets that man bleed out in the forest.
Jaxson Lopez
Should be 15$.
Ill pirate it Square ;)
Liam Jackson
Not him
Soundtrack is stellar, difficulty is fairly light for the most part outside of a few bosses but the endgame really tests all your skills and team building.
I’d recommend trying to interchangeably use everyone if you want to fight the final boss that’s technically he super boss.
Lincoln Brooks
Soundtrack was pretty good, but it's not really a big deal to me. generally when I play an rpg I'll be listening to my own music anyways as listening to the same battle tracks a few hundred times starts to become repetitive.

STOP SPREADING BULLSHIT MISINFORMATION. If you actually played the game you would be aware of a few major plot things (Gate of Finis, Galdera, etc) that are brought up during the final Chapter of every stories until the final dungeon fully connects the stories together. Actually play the game before reviewing it retard.
Levi Turner
Not him and I’m a huge fan but they aren’t actually connected as characters but their plot points build together to explain the final boss which is cool but you could see why some people would be disappointed if they expected a more typical overarching narrative.
However the fact this lets you do solo runs is pretty fun not gonna lie
Thomas Howard
The game isn't so complicated that you need a guide or autistic minmaxing to get through all 8 traveler stories.
Final boss is a bit of a challenge, though, and the superjob bosses are also challenging if you don't use cheese strats.
Jose Collins
Tressa is a good pick. Merchant is a strong job and she's a character everyone likes.
Alfyn is really strong too, but his story and character is a lot more generic do gooder.
Carter Torres
Price is fair
50 hour game, hand drawn pixel art(expensive and tedious), great music and charming writing.
The only argument for a lower price is marketing(more copies sold) and time elapsed...but just because a game comes out earlier doesn’t automatically mean its value is diminished.
This looks like the ultimate summer chill game, and besides what else is coming out anyway?

I heard you do 8 side stories before you even get to start the game properly, how true is this?
Ayden Clark
I'm an old fart that skipped a few console generations and was having an itch for some oldschool Squaresoft (enix) turn-based rpg. This game scratched that itch perfectly. Some of the stories are weak and one would argue that there is too much dialog for the plots the game is trying to string together, but the battle system was pretty cool. I just finished it last week.
Main was alfyn. I was regretting my decision, until mid and late game. Holy shit, his concoct is so useful. But endgame is ALL about Olberic's and Cyrus's damage output when supported by Merchant BP whores.
Enjoy PC bros.
Tyler Reyes
Actually terribly made games with barebones gameplay, bad story, linear hallway design, completely soulless. They're terrible games for poser normies that don't even like RPGs or know what makes them good
Mason Carter
this game is not good and you shouldn't want to play it, nor would it be worth playing if it was free. it's exceedingly tedious, the story lacks impact due to how it's all broken up, the party members have effectively no interactivity with one another and the boss fights have more HP than godzilla. pirate it when it gets cracked, play it for an hour or two, realize it's shit and uninstall it. you'll thank me later.
Josiah Bailey
>the boss fights have more HP than godzilla
brainlet detected
Parker Gray
Pretty true, you can decide the order of things and such, but the gameplay can course of things get pretty frusterating with how much shit you have to repeat and how slow paced things are since it is going for an older feel. The stories especially take a long time to get moving and feel really weak in most areas because they basically constructed 8 mini quests without making each one satisfying.
Angel Thompson
>barebones gameplay
what? bravely had one of the best job systems out of any ff game, the difficulty of the game was effectively relative to the classes you were using, and the bravely system had great quality of life benefits like being able to attack multiple times per turn, but would also punish you if you abused this against dangerous enemies. what the fuck are you talking about?
>linear hallway design
They weren't particularly complex, but they were by no means linear. But ultimately, they weren't fucking tedious to get through, and the game usually kept you engaged by using traps and simple puzzles, so what's the big deal?
>completely soulless. They're terrible games for poser normies that don't even like RPGs
That's not even an argument. In fact, none of what you just said are arguments, there's just bare-bones conclusions you made. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even play the fucking game.
Aiden Nelson

Almost none of the critics in these threads have actually played the games, user. They have the serious deluded believe that playing 1/10 of a game means they have knowledge on everything and that their opinion matters.
Adrian Harris
This isn't a game I'd sit at my PC and play. It's a portable game through and through. Perfect game for lying in bed at night for an hour or 2. You have to play it in small doses or you'll be bored out of your mind. I didn't even pay full price for it on Switch.

You fucking retard, turn based has nothing to do with how complex a game is. Civilization is fucking turn based. This? This is the simplest fucking shit ever, you control 4 characters and don't even have to worry about positions like you do with a SRPG.

I mean, fair enough, but what you're saying is very grossly generalized. And before you sperg out about how much more complex civ is, you can spare me the tangent because I've probably invest 400+ hours in civ iv, so I think I have an approximate idea.
Camden Barnes
PC + Switch here
My thoughts on Octopath Traveler are a little complex. I did everything but the secret boss and put 80 hours into the game, so that does say something. On the other hand, I think the game has a D- in execution. Theres no reason to lock your first traveler into your party; it fucks with team comp due to the unique overworld actions. Interaction is almost non-existent and what's there is shallow and unexciting.
All the unique NPCs is cool, but their quests are handled terribly. Dungeons are always unlocked, but half the time their boss is locked behind one NPC in the game you have to talk to. So it's easy to walk into somewhere on the map and waste a ton of time.
The stories themselves just aren't very good. They range from generic and poorly handled to boring and undeveloped (the merchant Tressa) to fucked up (the thief character Therion basically develops Stockholm Syndrome during his).
The artstyle and fun JRPG gameplay is what you're buying here, not anything else. Just keep that in mind. People shit all over Jason Schrier before release when he said it was no FFVI, but he was right.

>but what you're saying is very grossly generalized
Nigga you were the one who brought up turn based as a point of topic for no reason.
Sebastian Hughes
If you buy this for full price, you're a retard. It's a $30 game at best.
Michael Sanders
Jason Schrier claims to be an expert on JRPGs or some shit but still complains about grinding in one of the lesser grindy JRPGs there is. He's an idiot.
Ryder Johnson
The switch version barely goes below 40, what makes you think it will reach 30 anytime soon?
Ian Anderson
Have you considered that what money might be worth to you might be worth differently to somebody else?
Aaron Robinson
Gonna play this on my vita through streaming once it gets cracked. Gonna be a comfy time.

Evan Cook
Cringe, this game looks like shit and I love japjank games.
Matthew Barnes
A fool and his money are soon departed.
Owen Morris
It's visuals are really all it has going for it. It gets boring as soon as you reach the second act for all characters.
Michael Myers
steam =/= switch

I finally just finished h'aanit's story, she was my last of all 8 stories.
spent about 70 hours. It was slow at first but man as soon as I started getting into everyones second chapters the game got way funner.
Eli Thompson
>these regional prices
If you aren't pirating, you're retarded
Michael Gutierrez
>the game got way funner
How so? That's when I started feeling burnt out.
Zachary Harris
I like this game, but I'd never pay $60 for it.
Christopher Foster
What? Did you even think about what you read?
Angel Richardson
Don't Yea Forums while drunk user. Unless all you want to do is shitpost, which is fine.

Oh shit I forgot this was coming out
Asher Gutierrez

Joshua Evans
Yeah 60 is steep as hell
Jose Flores
Right be suse this game needs that much optimization.
Nathan Clark
>60-80+ hours long game is not worth 60$
Parker Lewis

>for a port of a console game that looks like it was made in the 90s
AHAHAHAHAHAH
no
Isaac Wilson
So compared to other jrpg master pieces, where does octo path stands
Is it just a generic Jrpg or is it fun
Jason Howard
LOL NOPE not until it goes to ten bucks
Ian Rogers
It's one of the few JRPGs that actually focuses on remotely good gameplay, explorable world and turn-based combat over storyshit
use that to decide yourself
Luis Evans
Enjoy our leftovers. Like most pee sea games, the feel of the game will be way off because this is meant to be played on a console.
Charles Cruz
There's not really a good party. The way the game is designed, you pretty much have to constantly swap party members out, which I didn't think was necessarily a bad thing. It's often too easy to just stick with a party that works and leave everyone else permanently on the bench, so I appreciated being forced to experiment. The big problem with the game, though, is that it never really takes advantage of the fact that there are eight party members. Each character's story is entirely self-contained, and they play out as if they're doing whatever it is they're after completely alone. There are a few skits where each party member gets a cutscene with exactly one other party member, but they never really feel like a real group like, say, in a Tales game. It always feels like they're eight people traveling separately to the same places.
Mason Gutierrez
>90 Australian dollars
Fuck that. If I don’t end up pirating it anytime soon I might just actually fucking get it for the switch
Thomas Murphy
reminder that nintendo will be a service in a few years and all the games are coming to steam and will be played how they were meant to be played
Ian Martin
The introduction of banter, enemies starting to be more challenging, most characters stories pick up and get more interesting, you're able to unlock sub jobs.
William Perez
it was the most soulless and aimless game i've ever played
Jason Cook
eat shit, i will enjoy this free game in glorious 60fps with my f310 controller
John Sanders
It isn't if it's retro shit.
Juan Price
>60 dollars for a game that looks like it should cost 20
That's a hard pirate for me senpai.
Ethan Sanders
Pirate it. Fuck SE.
Aiden Gomez
thanks for betatesting, cuck.
Evan Scott
It was pretty disappointing. What's the point of having a jrpg where the party members never interact? Why is there no explanation why a knight character is helping a scholar character through their respective storylines? What is the purpose of having 8 characters if they never interact? I just finished Tales of Vesperia and while I know the combat and other factors are different I enjoyed it much more.
Dominic Stewart
Where do you go to pirate games?
David Murphy
>What's the point of having a jrpg where the party members never interact?
Have you considered the fact there are more to JRPGs than muh story?
John Lewis
No.
Joseph Hernandez
It's not like Octopath had good combat so what does it have? The art style/music were phenomenal though.
Parker Wilson
>Octo on PC
Are they nuts? This thing will be pirated.
Owen Johnson
Octopath actually has one of the best turn-based battle systems. If you disagree then elaborate and analyze Octopath's battle system in-depth and explain its flaws and/or lack of depth.
Brayden Sanchez
funny how many sales they lose trying to prevent people from stealing it

Tressa is for daughteru, She's probably also make a great wingman, given that she can sell anything, maybe she can even get your ugly ass laid

Today's thread was fucking awful, but I truly enjoyed what little discussion we were able to have.
Good night anons, I'll be seeing you all tomorrow.
Ryder Thompson
It just has attack stacks, that it. Nothing amazing about it.
Joshua Foster
Nice in-depth analysis faggot
Benjamin Allen
That's literally the only unique thing the combat has going for it. Nice asshurt though.
Grayson Sanders
This game is beyond fucking boring. Not worth the asking price anywhere in the world.
