The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated Octopath Traveler for PC.

The PC version is listed as published by Bandai Namco, which regularly publishes Square Enix titles in Korea.

The RPG first launched for Switch worldwide in July 2018. A smartphone prequel called Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is currently in development.


Played it on Switch, found it to be pretty average TBH. By the time you find your 2nd - 3rd character, the formula becomes pretty monotonous.

Agreed. Have put it on hold 2 times now for that reason.

It's the reason I got a Switch because I was thinking this would feel a lot like SaGa. It certainly felt that way when they described it in ads.

However it isn't like SaGa at all and the lack of party member interactions outside of those chapter end stuff is hurting the game story wise as it feels weird.


I tried the other big Switch game, Xenoblade as I enjoyed the first one well enough but 2 has a different design for the main characters which I found generic. I preferred Nomura's designs for the bad guys as they had a set theme and more realistic proportions. Also they aren't as out there as his other stuff.

But having different character design styles in one game still rubs me the wrong way because the aesthetic is all over the place. Like with the noses and anime eyes and outfits.

Also the writing is shit. Like with that Van Damme dude and this thing which was pretty stupid because of the lack of my investment in his character.

I'll play a chapter or two every couple of months before dropping it off. Still haven't beat the game lol.


I hope the new Fire Emblem is good, but it seems to be a departure. Hope it doesn't end up as the Valkyria Chronicles 2 of the series.

Anyway if this goes on PC, it's not worth the $60. If they sold it for 20-30 then yeah it'd probably be fine. The pixel art was annoying over time as it didn't work well with the nice looking backgrounds. They should have gone with SaGa Frontier 2 type sprites.

That game was amazing visually.



They should remaster SaGa Frontier 2 and put it on the PC. If they still have the original watercolor paintings for the backgrounds that could be given a higher res, and the sprites are pretty detailed that I think they'd work great upscaled or at least take less effort to make good looking in HD.

This game is most definitely not worth the price. Great music, great separate storylines, but the gameplay gets tedious.. Fast.. And the character group makes no sense as they act like they're still alone even in a group. It's like they changed the way the game worked at the end of the development time.

yeah, that's my biggest beef

i got so pumped for this expecting it was the next SaGa and got a switch just for it

so hopefully that fire emblem game will make the switch somewhat worth it

Explain. That Digital Foundry video seems to suggest they've done a good job with the port.

The pricing is definitely a bit wonky; had a bit of sticker shock when seeing it was priced at 4K INR.

EDIT: Holy shit, this game is priced higher than Cyberpunk 2077. Come on Square. Haha.
