- Thread starter nolifebr
- Start date
Main theme is a new arrangement
Battle system is tweaked to have 8 person party
New characters
A couple different sprite animations
Same textures but new map/overworld designs
Yeah this is definitely some sort of sequel.
Hope it comes out in the West this year too.

It's a new game before you get too excited about Octopath Traveler "jumping ship" from Switch.
That's awesome and well deserved. Hope it can reach 2 mil when it's all said and done.
It looks to still take place in Orsterra, but there are in fact towns shown that aren't in the first game. And obviously it has completely new characters and stories.
I wish some form of this would come to Switch. I need more Octopath in my veins.
This was either developed stupidly fast or concurrently, though. Octopath is just 8 months old.

It's being developed by a different team and has been in development for 2 years.
Yes, and it's still Acquire. So it's interesting that they had parallel developments on at the same time. The arrangement of narrative in this is different too. It takes place years before the first game, but instead of picking individual characters to play, you select one of three main paths, and there will be multiple characters in those paths.
Well I'm out. That sounds terrible. Probably have one of those bullshit time limits and make you pay to play longer or need to wait a day to recharge.
Thinking it's probably online only too.
It's quite interesting and I like their focusing single player experience and bringing the original game's gameplay feel to the mobile. Hopefully the gacha stuff isn't too bad.
Before people go completely crazy, it's worth noting that even in their PR tweet for the Japanese fans, it says clearly that to those waiting for a new console game from them, sorry but it'll take a little while longer for production. So they're not jumping ship or anything, this is just something extra they had in the works.
What sort of microtransactions do Another Eden use?
Makes sense they announced no DLC for Octopath Traveler way ahead of time. They'd been planning this all along.
At least this is not a big NO, so the wait isn't bad. Good luck Octo Team ^^
Another Eden has character rolls, but you don't need to care about them too much. And there's no stamina or anything.
If it's similar then yeah I can see why they're going with themed paths instead of specific character paths. Maybe the characters will be gacha, and that's why there are 8 character parties now?
What happened to Nintendo fans being very defensive about port begging?
That is... not something I expected to happen. I guess it makes sense now that I have been reminded they did a similar thing with Bravely?
I can't say I'm all that excited about this because I ended up not liking Octopath Traveler that much, in the end. I'll keep an eye on it though, maybe it'll turn out interesting.

"But my old phone is so much more powerful than Switch AND it has a QHD screen!" - many people, still to this day.
Glad to see SE isn't done with Octopath. I still have to play the game, some comments I've read about its duration and boss battle length scare me a bit...
Which is weird considering their stories actually do link up with each other in meaningful ways
