A role-playing game from the Bravely Default team is being developed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. They have brought a new world to life through a mix of CG, pixel art, and "HD-2D" visuals.
About the story
Embark on a vast new role-playing adventure as one of eight travelers, all with their own origins, paths, and goals. Where to begin? Who to team up with? Where to go next? Only you can decide. Each traveler can use a distinct Path Action, a specialized way of achieving objectives and interacting with people you encounter. The warrior can "challenge" people to a duel, whereas the dancer can "allure" others to follow her, even into battle!

Octopath Traveler completes the franchise on PlayStation platforms, delivering a distinct and nostalgic experience for lovers of 90s JRPGs.

Six years after its release, Octopath Traveler confirms itself as a must-have for all RPG fans, who now have no more excuses given its release on PlayStation. From each character's storyline to the dizzying art component, Square Enix's experience is a must-have for any gamer's library, especially if you're a fan of deep storylines and immersive worlds to explore.

Everything about it is clearly inspired by Final Fantasy VI—one of the games from my childhood that I know front to back—and yet all of the features and priorities that made that game work have been watered down and replaced with gimmicks that appear to have been designed solely to waste as much time as possible. Octopath Traveler‘s dialog drags. Its story meanders aimlessly. Its characters are dull tropes. Its mechanics never evolve. There’s very little to recommend here.

Octopath Traveler successes in delivering a very good combat system along with gorgeous pixel-art graphics coupled with some post-processing techniques which make the game a very good choice for JRPG fans and those who want a more modern approach to pixel-art graphics. Its story offers 8 well-written different storylines that have English voice acting for main parts alongside Japanese, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have a unifying main narrative to connect all the 8 stories and there are also some grinding problems in mid to late game parts. Despite these minor problems, It is a must-buy for every JRPG fan.

Octopath Traveler brings together the best from classic JRPGs and modern visual style. Well written characters and stories, diverse world, thrilling turn-based combat and a great soundtrack make this lovely title that pays tribute to it's inspirations. Only weaker interaction between party members leave something to be desired.
