I think the Octopath series has quickly snuck its way into the classic category, these games so far have been awesome.
And of course if this continues to sell well we will most likely get a third. The niche for this genre is pretty big, joining newcomers and pasttimers with jrpg experience
@@epiclight858 Also Square-Enix will be more keen to bring their classic range out and its a win-win for all of us. They had a decent range on the SNES that was Japan only and I played most of them. Final Fantasy and Chrono trigger was their best work but they also did other worthy and unknown titles as well. Balmonts Lagoon, Treasure Hunter G, Treasure of the Rudras, Mystic ark, Burning heroes Etc...Etc.
@@flatcapman Chrono Trigger needs to be remade. Not taking anything away from the original.
@@nayyarrashid4661 Chrono Trigger remade in the 2D-HD style of Octopath? Yes please!
I know they're remaking Dragon Quest 3 in 2D-HD, but I'd love DQ 1-6 in the same style. It's an artstyle that'll never get outdated in my eyes.
I hope they can match the FF franchise :)
I'm so glad the devs heard player voices about characters interacting in their stories and not just at the tavern
One of the best parts about RPGs is how characters interact and grow because of each other; by interacting with other members of their party, they can see different perspectives and can reflect on their flaws, allowing them to grow and mature. And their relationship grows from simply being allies to becoming life-long friends, almost like family in some cases. In OT, it didn't feel like the characters were friends, merely people who just happened to be traveling together.
I also want them to improve the central story. All that stuff about Galdera was largely inconsequential to the other stories, despite pretty much everyone's stories relating to him and Lyblac in some form or fashion. Heck, at the Gates of Finis, none of the characters say anything to what happens; the Gates being where Hornberg once stood (Olberic's home kingdom), the shadows of the bosses previously fought, Geoffrey's (Primrose's father) journal, or the fact that Graham (the man who saved Alfyn's life and inspired him to become an apothecary and the owner of the notebook Tressa found) became the Redeye monster from H'aanit's story.
@@SaiyanGamer95 yeah. there was so much they could have done but that is always the case of hindsight. So props to the devs if they have learned this lesson
@@SaiyanGamer95 It really uplifts certain stories. Persona 5's cast is so intertwined that I enjoyed playing Strikes for awhile because of them. Tales of the Abyss had this awesome bit that the main enemies were related to your party characters in some way. Or if I look at older jrpgs and their cast - Breath of Fire 3, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden or Xenogears. Even if some characters don't have the spotlight they are at least concerned for their group when things happen to them.
This game is absolutely gorgeous.
I expected nothing less from Square-Enix
@@HerkNewz69 Cool but who asked
I KNOW RIGHT? SO GORGEOUS!
And I can't wait to play it on my 4K no less! xD
@@HerkNewz69 my man, let the Nintendorks pay for our entertainment 🤙
In what part is this even remotely close to "absolutely gorgeous"? It looks like a game that should of came out in mid to early 2000s and was for a GBA 😂 no they can keep the past in the past tired of these 2-3bit looking games
I like that the characters so far this time around seem to be subversions of the expected hero archetypes. It'll definitely make for a more interesting cast than the first game, especially with the added interaction between characters.
I don't know about subversions, Throné seems like a relatively common archetype. Though these characters are far from bad so far.
@@ArcCaravan usually heroic thieves fall into a sort of "lone wolf" archetype, which I'd say Throné seems pretty far outside of considering how often she seems to be working with others. And she's far from the only character I'm talking about when I say that the characters are subversions of expected archetypes.
idk, Agnea looks more like what I would expect from a dancer™ than Primrose but maybe that's just me
@@lyraenza most heroic dancers I've seen in rpgs tend to be fairly well-off financially or famous, and tend to have story arcs revolving around either friends, family, or enemies who are upper class. Agnea, by contrast, isn't well-off or famous, and has no upper class connections to speak of. In fact, her background is about as opposite that as possible, to the point that her most notable character ability is literally begging for items or money, something typically associated with being homeless. Unlike most heroic dancers, she's not dancing because it's fun or because she wants to perfect it, but because it's pretty much the only thing that guarantees she'll be able to afford to feed herself.
Primrose isn't relevant to the conversation, because although she is a dancer who is subversive, she isn't from Octopath *2,* and this isn't a contest to see who's more subversive, just a statement that the Octopath 2 characters, including Agnea, are subversive.
I'M SO GLAD TEMENOS ISN'T A BORING CLERIC LIKE OPHILIA 😭😭
Hold on, you’re telling me that the cleric of this game can get information out of people…
BY ASSAULTING THEM!?
The first games animations were already some of the best, but this game's animations are beyond godly. Gives me Disgaea vibes with how flashy the new animations are. This is what every RPG Maker dev dreams their game would look like.
we can only dream that will happen but RPG MAKER and their counterparts always play it safe
Yeah, it's a shame the game is kind of boring to play..
@@Big_Dai Nope, the combat system is great and the characters and their ability are good. There's just too much grinding but a game that makes you think about how to play it will never be boring.
This has been made in Unreal, not rpg maker
Someone that knows Disgaea? am i dreaming?
"He can also coerce someone for information by breaking them in battle"
aye are we sure this guy is a cleric
He's inquisitor, so cleric police
This game is honestly looking like a day 1 purchase personally for me, it looks gorgeous
I was wondering when we were getting more information on Octopath II. As much as I adored the original game, this looks like a massive improvement. I can't wait to learn about Ochette The Hunter and Castti The Apothecry soon.
5:03 THE ENEMIES HAVE ATTACK ANIMATIONS!!!
3:31 this 100% confirms my prediction that Temenos is Cyrus but a Cleric
I’ve played both the original OCTOPATH traveler and COTC, and am really excited about the increasingly dark, gritty direction they’re going with the story telling. It’s increased in COTC from the original, and looks even more so here. Love to see it.
so Temenos is more like an inquisitor than a priest....interesting
Throné's voice 😍😍😍😍
Unbelievable how much they upped the beauty of the animations from the first one, which were already amazing.
This game is STUNNING
Not for the birds. They look frozen in time
Throne is the best character in the game confirmed. Just like Therion who I used to steal an MP regen necklace at the very start of the game during the demo before. Can't wait to abuse steal to get endgame gear immediately again.
It's funny looking back on comments like these and seeing how far off people were on the characters' potential.
Throné ended up being...Ironically weak, despite having a second turn as her Latent. Steal is good for getting free items, but...Actually, Ambush is not bad for being free after certain Level thresholds.
Her combat power falls off a cliff past the mid-game, though.
Super excited for this game, but Im here for the soundtrack. The 1st game had the best video game OST of all time imo
Yep it did
Dude thanatos theme tho
No it didnt lmao
No Xenoblade 2 has a better OST lmao. Octopath still has a banger OST tho, if a bit "generic epic RPG OST" at times.
@@lckfan3696 either way the music was freaking awesome
A shame we're losing the shrines, they were a really cool incentive for exploration!
But the game looks absolutely amazing, and the latent powers look to add another layer to combat!
Love this game so far!! 😍
I don't see it as that bad. Shrines were free secondaries and you could be very OP at the start of the game if you were lucky or knew where to look.
Guilds lock that down as it kind of makes more sense to "unlock" jobs as you, well, do jobs
@@epiclight858 You're right actually! 😄
@@garfreeek however I do see your point in exploration. I hope they're just replaced with, perhaps small villages or camps as waypoints between towns, idk. I haven't seen the map but most of my issues with the first game was that there was no way to see if you "completed" landmarks so I was always guessing if I had already gone to certain places
Yeah, but in exchange, we'll be able to give multiple characters the same secondary, which was impossible in the first game. And who knows what kinda requests you have to complete. They might take you to who knows where.
@@epiclight858 Why not the best of both worlds? The trailer said you had to fulfill the guilds' requests for the licenses. Could be some of the requests are 'go explore this place' or 'find me this item', and in the latter's case you might already have it if you went exploring ahead of time. Still gets you the reward for exploring on your own, keeps you from getting too strong too quickly until you reach the guild in question (and that request in particular).
I find it really funny that even the priest gets a provoke/challenge path action.
I have never been so excited about a game in my life. This looks even more beautiful than the first.
this game just keeps looking better and better! super excited!
THE VISUALS!
Imagine what Switch 2 or Switch Pro (both still will be in the Switch 1 family) can do when it launch together with Zelda TOKT in May next year ! CAN'T WAIT 😍🧡
@@Hazemann Switch 2/Pro isn't being released next year bro! Where did you hear that?
@@miiworld2 from Nvidia leak
I'm really glad you'll be able to equip a particular Secondary Job for multiple party members akin to Bravely Default.
That's one thing the 1st game didn't have. Also I hope the game gives exp to benched party members as well.
Shared XP would be very helpful, even if it's just a fraction.
I think giving the same secondary job to more than one member is not something I like
@@epiclight858 it boils down to opinion, I for one am very happy with the prospect of equipping the main 8 jobs on everyone. However, the secret jobs could cause some balancing issues...
The first game DID have a secondary job option though. Lots of secret ones too aside from taking someone else's job to stack onto each other.
I personally don’t like it, I think in the original having only one character with a certain job adds more strategy.
@@dew-it8744 yep, I found it more strategic to figure out how to complement a majority of skills and weapon types. Now it seems we can just spam the same attack per weakness to breeze through battles.
It'll just make me feel like I'm playing a BD game..
I'd love to see a detective thriller in this art\animation style!
Yeah not something as weak at Cyrus but it's gotta be more in depth
Looks like they're taking a darker approach with the classes. The Thief is also an assassin, and the Cleric is also an inquisitor
Ochette using Hired Help to summon his fellow Catfolk buddies is a cool af detail holy molly.
Rejoice Octopath fans! The gods have blessed us again this day!
Out of all the paired characters featured thus far in these trailers, Throne and Temenos are my favorite duo. And my god, do their abilities in combat compliment well with one another. They are such an op pair in AND out of combat. And their characters are so paradoxical to one another lol... A thief by day, and bandit by night. And a cleric by day, and thug by night. 😆 I'm definitely maining these two when the game comes out.
P.S.
I'm gonna have Temenos be a Cleric x Scholar, and Throne a Thief x Dancer. These two secondary professions are the closest to what I think is fittingly appropriate for both character's personality.
They are awesome. I'm beginning to ship them already
@@frostyblade8842 I was going to say the same thing, but you already beat me to it. 😆
@@Evil_Beauty You have good taste my friend. It reminds me of the Alfyn x Ophelia ship from OT1, which is one of my personal favourites
Fun fact: in Japanese, they're voiced by Rie Tanaka and Akira Ishida, who two decades ago voiced Lacus Clyne and Athrun Zala in Gundam SEED.
@crabiones margonezz I'm glad to have found you too my friend. We may be silent, but I hope we are great in number as AxO is by far my favourite and one of the best ships in OT1. They really are so damn cute together and I love them so much
My real question is if Throne is the only one that can open purple chests or not
oh he's so cute and look so useful in battle. definitelly want him in my first playtrough team
also, love so much how they're interacting
The music is amazing, the sprites are impeccable, the graphics and lighting are unique, and the job system has been refined! I'm dying to get my hands on this after Octopath Traveler 1 was so much fun!
Wait paired ending art!!!! That's so great!!
I'm reallly really excited for the sequal!!!!! I loved my time I had when the first one came out a ton. Loving how there shaping these new characters for us to journey with over the course of these character trailers over the past few months. I can't wait to sink into this game when it launches next year. :D
loving the characters and the music so far! the first half of the music here gave me multiple chills! hoping to see more character interaction between the new eight
I've always been a sucker for pixel art, love the original Octopath and I'm sure I'm gonna love this one a lot more.
Yo I cannot wait! If this game really does have better interactions between the main party than the first one, this is going to be amazing!
So like, any interactions? (Based on what I heard about the first game) 😂
@@videoket I mean there was some text dialogue between party members in the first game, but like, I want fully voiced cutscenes with party members to show them having an actual reason to travel together. Definitely the biggest flaw of the first one.
@@cbmatty9262 seems like there's entire side quests for pairs of characters, though it's not confirmed if every single duo gets one
I cannot wait for this game I absolutely loved the first game. The sound track was amazing and i expect more of the same with this game.
Man this game will be so gorgeous and unique!!! A complete upgrade of his predecessor!
Everything I have seen about this game has me so excited. I’m already a huge fan of the first game, and this sequel looks like it is improving upon that game in many ways! I cannot wait!
I like to see how they keep the pantheon, meaning there's a chance we might have the ability to return to Orsterra or maybe even the Gate of Finis if we're lucky.
This looks disgustingly beautiful. As if it couldn't get any better than the first
LOL! "Disgustingly"! It's so beautiful it's disgusting xD
@@miiworld2 lol yeah I a good way because the devs didn't need to go this hard with dynamic cameras, AAA music and its niche graphical scenery, everything to make the second game better than the first. More sequels need this direction
It seems like they’re taking more of a Triangle Strategy-Live A Live type approach to this game rather than what they did last Octopath Traveler so I’m actually kind of excited for this game
Sorry this is a month late, but say more
damn ost for part 2 will be another masterpiece
CANT WAIT!
Hyped AF, loved the first part so much and triangle strategy, this is a day one buy for me, also is close to my birthday! a nice present
5:13 now wait a minute. I see 2 whole new classes here.
Sick
The wait seems so close, yet so far...
Incredibly excited for this game!! 🔥
Wow they've really improved on the animations for in and out of battle actions. Those attack animations for Thorne are REALLY nice compared to everyone's basic stab stab in OT1.
Agreed! Also the sprites look a little stretched from the first game which helps their animation and unique designs
Square Enix should be so proud of themselves. This art style is absolutely stunning!
I want this game! Just connect the stories together and yes!
Just started playing octopath traveler. Can't wait for this.
I do hope we get at least some reference to the first game's characters. It's good we get a lot of the original skills back as well as some new ones. Aeber's Reckoning is something I used a lot with Therion in that game.
If a grown-up Tressa shows up at some point, I scream.
@@DahRahzor me too! But I highly doubt the first 8 will be in this game..
I personally think that OT2 takes place in 1600's or something like that
Already loving this sequel, but I can see Temenos permanently in my party just for shield breaking bosses.
I can't wait to get this and start my play through with Throne!
Beyond excited for a new octopath! Absolutely loved the first one and the mobile one as well!
Im so excited for the new characters
Hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype hype
After playing Chained Echoes, I wish Octopath 2 has the swapping feature so we can freely swap mid fight to strategize the battle better.
This is a new high of the pixel art style
I Absolutely Love this Sequel Game of Octopath Traveler!
Oh I am gonna be helplessly addicted to this one...
This soundtrack is gonna be incredible!
This might be the greatest game i ever play. Octopath and Dragon quest XI are my top two games of all time.
Never really played the 1st one, but am looking forward to this one.
I'm so absolutely stoked for this game. I played the first one to pieces. I just have to do the finale and a few side quests.
I'm so excited can't wait to play this on my PS4
This looks so good.
This is gonna be so dope
it looks even more gorgeous than the first game, I’m so excited to get to know the characters more 😭😭😭😭
Can't wait to play demo
This is going to be awesome
it looks so beautiful i cannot wait!!! 😭😭🧡
5:03 looks like mother will finally get a beating of her own!! I look forward to this!
Great Second
5:04 Considering how Throné's story is framed in the trailer, I wonder if this is her final battle or not.
I mean, her mother is clearly set up as the main villain. So unless there's a mastermind behind the scene, she's the most likely candidate for her final boss.
Judging from the HP, I doubt it. She mentioned both a mother and a father, so maybe the mother is the prologue chapter 1 final boss while the father is the final chapter boss?
Personally, I’m doubting they’re her actual parents. I think this thieves guild just calls itself a “family”, similar to a mafia does.
@@gavino5505 So the older guy in the trailer, I guess.
@@miikal5951 Yeah, the mother and father honorifics are definitely callbacks to the godfather title within mafia families (or think 'aniki' or 'big brother' within Yakuza gangs). Throne's 'parents' are the heads of their thieves' guild, and are mob bosses who will no doubt be boss fight characters.
I don't believe either of them will be her final boss fight either. There's always someone else pulling the strings from the shadows, especially when thieves and assassins are involved.
Looking forward to struggling with the Super secret boss
Cannot wait
The evolution of the 2D-HD formula is incredible. Can't wait for Dragon Quest 3 Remake.
just PERFECT
Ok, these two latent powers look busted. I can't wait to use them.
Nice!
Something I wish they would do for this game is to implement something similar to totc where you can have all 8 characters on screen and you can swap between them. Or if not, have a character swapping feature where you can put a new character in if one dies or is not effective against a monster. But otherwise I’m excited!!
Or at the very least
In-combat party switching
Every rpg should just have in-combat party switching its not like the other characters are doing something else
@@raeryuko Maybe RPGs could actually have party members outside the active party actually do something.
@@ArcCaravan Yeah I like THIS idea. You can have them go out and gather supplies or whatever. It makes sense if OT2 play time average is going to be into the sub 80 hours.
@@epiclight858 Actually, characters not in the party did this in the first game! You can find the party in taverns occasionally, and sometimes they'll give you items as well
Disappointing to see fans and tomes aren't returning.
Awesome Octopath Traveler II Throné & Temenos Character Trailer.
Sweet!
hopefully this time the stories are actually somewhat coherent and connected
Can't wait to download and play this on my hacked switch!
It looks beautyful
YES no more secondary job limits and no lookig for job shrines oh i wand this game in my hands now but i still cant choose who i pick as my main charactar im thinking of the merchant hunter or thief
Throné’s gameplay reminds me so much of the assassins creed series
I still have to play the first game 😭
Played the first one on Switch but now happy to see it is getting a release on Steam as well as kids won't even let me touch their Nintendo Switches.
The first game is already so cool but the second one?? WOAH. The animations caught my eye in particular, also I can’t wait to meet the new travelers! (Though I still have yet to beat the Ruins.. haha).
ポケモンが進むべき道だったアートスタイル
The OST. The OST! Majestic!
4:43 Bro that is BROKEN!!
Okay these two, Partitio and probably someone besides Osvald will be in my party.
My body is ready
NOICE
Yessss
