"Additional stories will unfold between the protagonists as their journey progresses, further intertwining their narratives."
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is this mean? The characters gonna interract for real during story this time?
@@robinsaputra1483 Yes, it is expected now!
They're calling them "Crossed Paths". They're stories featuring 2 characters.
@@ethanowens473 well if that's true that is good enough. Major improvement than the first.
@@robinsaputra1483 also, each character will have 2 path actions, which differ based on the new day/night cycle.
I cannot express how happy I am to see how the Travelers can interact with each other during their stories.
Where do you see this ?
@@mauricemoncu2784 the Nintendo direct had it in huge text. You can see it in this trailer actually in a few multi hero cutscenes but they dont draw attention to it like direct clip
@@KaleRylan okay thanks
Me too
That is my biggest gripe on octo 1. I hope this will be one overaching storyline
Octopath was amazing. Every time I continued my journey I was in a zen mode. It's like playing an old Retro RPG brought to the modern age, with amazing character, story, and music. I'm 45 so I played all those 16 and 32 bit games back when they were new.
I know the feels I am 33
Its great to see people can still enjoy what they love with the same passion even in differents part of life, the magic of interactive art as videogames are, This sequel is looking great, they say you should never be too hyped for a game before it comes out but its difficult for this one lmao.
I’m 22 but I grew up on Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest and Golden Sun. Nothing has really scratched that itch besides Bravely Default, but man playing Octopath Traveler really satisfied it. I’m so happy games like this are making a comeback with their own modern twists to boot! Bravely Default really did start a Renaissance of sorts for turn based JRPGs, especially for Square Enix and I’m all here for it
@@coraurum3835 I don't think I'll lose my passion for games. I intend to be a gaming Grandpa! I look up to the old ladies who are loving video games.
@@Teremei That's great man, if we let age take away the things we love the only ones who's losing is us, wish you a good day Gaming Grandpa, GG for short.
Honestly though the announcement of this game put me in such a great mood. Amazing voice acting , spectacular music and the animations look nicer too!
indeed so best switch game in my opinion, amazing!
I agree man i'm right there with you, I LOVE these HD-2D games.
So good to know that they are now talking to each other! This franchise made me buy the Switch and now it is really worth it due to this sequel!
Octopath Traveler really helped me relax and clear my head during the 2020 shelter-in-place in the US. This sequel will definitely be an instant purchase 🙏
Exactly the same for me, got the game when I was on lockdown in my college dorm room. Really helped keep me going during such an awful time
@@mrcolegreat3595 me too, it really was a bright spot during those lonely times
Shelter-in-place isn’t the right word. But same story for me. In another country.
I see they went with the OCTOPATH standard of naming again. Neat.
*O* chette

It's tradition, and I made sure they did it lol
I didnt even notice! That's really neat!
I wish the villains had the TRAVELER standard of naming.
I was today years old when I realized this. Thanks for that break down lmao.
@@UTubeGenius It was such a small but neat little detail about the first game that it actually blew my mind when I realized it. Starting with Ophilia and moving clockwise the characters spell out OCTOPATH...really isn't much of a writer's trick, but it's still pretty neat.
Absolute highlight of the show. Looks phenomenal.
I love how dynamic the camera is! It moves around so much, while the first game it was mostly stationary. Everything about this game feels grander and more polished, when the first game was already breathtaking.
I am ridiculously excited for this game.
So excited for this
@@piggybaj8545 Oh hey!
Yeah me too. I've started to replay the first game and I plan on doing the game's superboss again aswell.
I won't unfortunately but I'll definitely will be playing this
Is Yasunori Nishiki back as the composer? The first game's OST was god-tier because of him.
Yes, he is.
Thank you for also launching this day and date on PC, PS4 and PS5! 🥳
Nice to know I can get it on PS5 rather than Switch for trophies =)
Lol, God love you, Gaming shelf. I was 20 seconds into this video officially giving up on Sony.
Let's hope they release the first one too :') on ps
@@sirrealkiller8357 ;)
@@darlgearhart988 thank you!
Why do I love this game series so much? Its character stories are at best an 8/10. There are frustratingly few character interactions between the main cast and the ones we do have mean very little. Villians are a hit or miss. The town's areas are visually pleasing but restricting and limited. The world exploration is significant but feels empty and only useful for random encounters and grinding. And the final secret boss that ties the story together is extremely difficult and complicated to beat.
And yet the things this game series does well, at least for the first octopath traveler, still compels me to adore everything about it regardless of imperfections. Its music is beautiful and stunning, with each theme drawing upon each character's identity and the idea of adventure. The visuals are stunning and unique. The gameplay is strategic and well thought out, yet epic when it is mastered. The world is still limiting, but there is also an imagination of adventure as you yourself are a traveler that goes to different places and experiences the stories in those areas. Its characters, while limited to their own stories, are people you watch grow, travel, and experience fascinating or funny things that make them each likable in their own way. And because of that aspect, you will greatly enjoy the events that the characters go through.
Oberic dealing with a loss of purpose, Cyrus dealing with the ethics of knowledge, Tressa striving to make her own story, Ophilia healing her family, Primrose coming to terms with her revenge, Alfin questioning his philosophy as a doctor, Therion learning to trust again, and H'aanit becoming a legendary hunter (while also slay a freaking dragon!)
Honestly speaking, of course Octpath has flaws to it. If I had one major complaint, it would be that there was so much potential that wasn't acted upon and thus left the game feeling lackluster to many.
Octopath Traveler 2 presents a unique situation where it could be everything that the first game could have been and so much more. This may happen or maybe it won't and the sequel could fall face-first into the ground with its storytelling the same way the first game did.
But either way, I think I'll be able to enjoy this sequel with all the flaws it will have.
(p.s.... thank you for reading this far if you did. Don't think too much behind my words. I simply wanted to get my thoughts out even if no one will hear. May you enjoy your day wherever you are.)
And the absolute banger of an OST
Good work ordering the characters in OCTOPATH for the most part
I have faith in 2. Octopath Traveler COTC has amazing character & a main story line way better than the original. Very dark and intriguing.
I love the first game even though I didn't beat it, but I sank a lot of hours into it. My main gripes were battles taking long at times, you max out your characters moves too quickly, and later in the game leveling up takes a long time as well. I hope the sequel fixes some of these
I feel the biggest flaw in the first OT game was how underwhelming some of the main character's stories were. Like... Other than Primrose and Therion, I didn't really care about any of the other characters. Which was a HUGE disappointment, considering how both Primrose and Therion's character shared similar tragedies of betrayal that their character relationship weren't further developed, or acted on. A waste of a miss opportunity. And this goes for the other characters as well. Other than that, everything else about the first OT was solid.
I’m so excited. I put almost 100 hrs in the first game on Switch and I had an absolute blast. The music is also one of the best osts I’ve heard.
Definitely my most anticipated game from the entire Nintendo Direct!!
For this and Fire Emblem Engage, from my point of view.
@@AndreasRunge999 From yours for sure. I like Fire Emblem as well, but a lot of people are sick of it lol
Octopath has to be one of the best new Square Enix ips
Totally agree :3
You say that now its too close to the first game- i loved ovtopath but atleast have new classes
Didn't expect them to announce it so soon after cotc went global, but I guess it's a great time to be alive if you're a fan of the series. Though I loved everything I saw I'm still a bit sad that they went with completely new characters in a new land, I was hoping for a return of most or at least part of the original cast
Wait, I didn’t know CotC was finally localized! I’ll definitely play that
Well the texts have been translated but the dub is still Japanese, I don't know if they plan to re-record all voicelines in English
@@Stephens2883Channel what?
They were speaking english in the trailer?
This was so unexpected for me. I’m so excited!!! I really hope square Enix does a two pack with the first installment since production was discontinued.
what do you mean
Two pack? Also what was discontinued?
What?
means you can only find limited stock for physical copies of Octopath Traveler, same is true for XenoBlade 2 which has since inflated in price. I have at least still been able to find copies for OT relatively easy still.
*About time a **_Team Asano_** project finally comes to PlayStation.* 🔥
Looking forward to the State of Play later to announce the first one as well.
I'm sorry for your loss.
@@Elvisbackpack Games aren't connected so it's not such a big deal.
Damn man. I'm so in love with the remade theme of OT2. Lovely announcement. Thanks SQEX.
The opening song with the beautiful environments... it makes me wish that I could live in a fantasy world, truly.
I just started playing octopath recently. I did not expect I would love it so much. I am looking forward to the octopath 2❤
Same! Octopath made me love turn base games and I already bought the best games out there to play ahah
I’m SO SO SO excited for this. 🎉🎉. Playing the first one and it’s so peaceful and beautiful. The soundtrack and the stories are just gorgeous
Octopath Traveler was a game I never imagined would restore my JRPG burnout. It was... fantastic.
This game is going to be legendary 5 months will fly by and I cant wait.😀👍
Most hype announcement in the direct for me! Fingers crossed for a special edition
im crying with joy from the music alone...
Looks like once again, the merchant id gonna be the best character.
I used to think I just liked Tressa, but at this point just consider me a merchant main!
I love the octopath traveler series. I love the first game and champions of the continent. I can't wait for this one to release.
Getting this on Steam!!
Agnea is definitely voiced by Xanthe Huynh who also voiced Altina from Trails of Cold Steel and Marianne from Fire Emblem Three Houses/Hopes.
On BTVA, it's confirmed that Agnea in Japanese is Inori Minase, who also voiced Altina in Cold Steel 3 and 4. Looks like Altina became a Dancer now.
@@doodlebugfour7070 Altina really had a career change after getting away from the Ironbloods, huh
And Hikari sounds like Griffin Puatu
Thank you so much!!!!! Loved the first game, already looking like a lot of improvements have been made. I will be overly excited for this until release.
I hope the story actually intertwines more for all of the 8 travellers rather than having to do the secret boss.
The characters interact with one another now, so the connections will be more obvious now.
that intro music just gives me so much hope for the soundtrack for this new game, cant wait for what im sure will be a whole nother set of absolute bangers
Some of Hakira's themes are available here on CZcams. They are absolutely bangers! Give them a listen when you have some time.
The 1st game was actually harder than I thought it would be. Definitely one of the best RPGs I've played in the last decade.
Incredible! First game is one of my Jrpgs favs! My ONLY hope is that the music is as good as the 1st one, the rest is cherry on top .
I have no doubts about this, it can only get better
The music in OT was an orgasm for the ears so it has to be
WOW, im in love with octopath traveler 1, but now with triangle strategy on steam + octopath traveler 2 on feb 2023... im so happy :D
Can't wait !
I really want that photo of them around the fire
Cant wait!
During the first half of the game in part 1 I skipped all the Dialogue but then started listening, now I'm super interested.
D1 on switch!!! Lets goooo, i loved the first octopath, great CS and marvelous musics
This fills me with so much joy that I cannot express
The music hits me right in the feels... again.
I was very happy with this announcement it moved me, Square Enix Thank you for making the continuation of this amazing game, Please release OT1 for ps4 and ps5 A hug.
I have never felt so excited watching a trailer!
cant fkn wait !
Esta parte, Esta pequeña parte de mi vida se llama felicidad
beautiful as always ♥️
Oh, look how beautiful the sprite animation!
I also can't wait to buy to OST
Despite not being able to get into the first game, I have a good feeling I will enjoy this sequel. It looks so good and promising! It looks like the stories will be more engaging and immersive. I liked the characters from the first game but couldn't get into their stories and wasn't a fan that the characters didn't hardly interact with each other. I liked the setting and loved the music though.
However with Octopath Traveler 2 it looks like the characters will talk to each other! I was worried it would only be on Switch when the trailer played and hoped for Steam too but as soon as I saw the PS4 and PS5 logo I jumped for joy. I really do hope I will enjoy this game and it will be a different outcome to the first game. I'm looking forward to playing Octopath Traveler 2.
YES!
Can't wait fot it !!!
Dang this was like reviving your childhood moments. Can't wait!
Can you imagine having a 16 bit graphical masterpiece like this back when they were relevant? How we would've been in such awe lol. OT 1 was amazing, can't wait for this installment.
Amazing!!! Can´t wait!!!!! And the remake of the intro....... OMG!!!!!
OMG this looks sooo pretty. and the first one was already amazing, cant wait for this one, day 1 for me 100%.
Come out already, I’m hyped for this game.
The first HD-2D game finally has a sequel, and it somehow looks even better!
The theme song at the beginning sang like that is awesome
There are so many things I like about octopath, but what I like most is the environment artistry and music. It looks to be even better in the sequel!
Thank you, SE. I look forward to it!
Looks like it's time to finish the 1st game now! 😍
You haven't?
Good luck
Is Osvald voiced by Matthew Mercer? Damn his voices makes my bone melt.
Think it might be Ray Chase. Guess we will have to see when they official announce who's in it.
I thought it might be Jonah Scott
This... truly, one of the best morning I had this year.
🥳🥳🥳
New OCTOPATH traveler!
PARTITIO 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤
For the first time, I will main a guy in a game. He is really just alluring and passionate 😭😭😭
Can't wait!! Part 1 was the reason I got a switch!
Time to finally finish octopath 1
Absolutely the best announcement within the last few days!! Thank you SE
YES! LESGOOOOOOOO
It look insane! And it’s coming to PS5 !! 🤩
Being such a huge fan of the first I can already tell how much they've changed. Walk animations are different for each person, camera angles for attacks, boss animations, and so much more. I hope I forget what I've seen in this trailer because I'm pretty sure I spotted 3 of the "secret" job classes towards the end of the trailer lol. I hope they add so much more to the job classes. Even secondary appearances for each..idk lol Either way I'm excited for this game.
Adore it
Looks phenomenal. Thank you for also launching this on PS4! 😁
I am looking forward to the music already. This gotta be the music of the year for 2023.
Hell yeah!!!!
I am still playing Octopath Traveler(1). 😊
What wonderful news ! I will get it !
WONDERFUL, AMAZING, BREATHTAKING !!! I am sooooooo happy, You made my day :) 😍😍😍
3:54 daaaaam what a flex of their improved sprite animations
YESSSSS
missing that first one specially now....
Guess I need to finally hunker down and beat the first one I've had for years.
I hope we get to see the old 8 travelers like Tressa and Alfyn
This takes place in a different continent and time period. So sadly, the original cast won't make a return. Maybe their ancestors/descendents will though!
The stories in the mobile champions of the continent were so good. I really hope this one gets better stories like that that are darker and deeper.
I never thought we would get a sequel to this game, so happy
I really enjoyed the first game and I'm excited about this one. But I feel like there was a huge missed opportunity to have all the characters in a more epic singular storyline after you completed each individual storyline.
Given it has the main theme playing I'm really hoping it will be composed by Yasunori Nishiki again
I teared up when I heard the theme play.
Hell yes!!
I'm so happy 😭
Ty Square!!
I'm so hyped for this
Yes.
omg it releases on my birthday?! Now that's a sign from the universe.
Wow releasing it on PS, you've got me interested this time
Same
Hey that’s my birthday! Perfect gift!
YESSIR 🙌🏾
Didn't expect this
Yay
Pre-ordered my collectors edition of Octopath Traveler II. Day 1 unboxing will be going up! 🎮
