Octopath Traveler: Preview Thread
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date
But as you said, you have to wait for the review because they sometimes buy the game to review it.
This game is so gorgeous and has such wonderful music. I feel it needs to be reminded in the middle of all the bickering. There's a reason there's such hype for this game.
Will we make 88 pages before the review?

Yep, and he's the main reason this thread took the tone that it did and still has.
Octopath Traveler |OT| Worship at the altar of narrative convergence
Here is where we are:
Characters interact outside of their personal stories. Their personal stories have connections in-universe, but do not seemingly converge into a final chapter. Each personal story has a conclusive ending.
We know of significant content that exceeds the level of the Chapter 4s (the final personal chapters), from unlockable aspects of combat, to dungeons, to areas, implying a robust post-game if nothing else.
There is dramatic boss music whose source hasn't been discovered in-game, because people haven't yet combed the post-game.
Octopath Traveler |OT| Much ado about nothing
(this one fits regardless how the game finally pans out .-P )

One more shot:
Octopath Traveler |OT| "Wait, how do we know each other again?"
You forgot the "Curse you, Jason!" *Angry Fist*
LOL!

NA. The only horrid voice acting I've experienced so far was Tressa's Mom, though I'm sure I'll stumble on more.
Just that French player. He liked it, 62 hours doing the 8 main quests but none of the "post game" stuff like the extra jobs or higher level areas.
No kidding. The constant handwringing over review scores, metacritic, etc., makes review discussion largely unbearable, and usually bleeds over into preview discussion as well. As is the case here.
Easily. I've both played the demo and looked at the cover art, so I can confidently say that anyone who gives it less than a 90 is clickbaiting for their garbage site.
Oh ok, I thought he was just talking about it didn't know it was an actual review
<3
Regardless of the score - I'm REALLLLLLY looking forward to the chaos that'll ensue.
Yeah the GoW thread was like this also, lots of hand-wringing over an 8 from Edge or something like that. A game the quality of which was in no doubt but didn't stop people getting upset at a difference in the metacritic.
There's a sense sometimes that's like people are building an identity around the hype they've got going for a game.
Comments like these are the worst lol. Regardless of the game's review reception, it seems really shitty to come in here and stir up stuff when you're under embargo and probably shouldn't be trying to hint at things this way. If you can't give any real answers and can only hint at stuff then what's the point? You yourself have only stirred up the crap in this thread to begin with.
I know I said it was relatively chill yesterday but, man, this thread has been weird overall. I rarely check preview ones.
Lol.
I feel like the only reason the thread hasn't been closed yet is so that it's meant as a containment thread
What should I take from this?Posted on Reddit, this is from Flamegrace
