SE games do in general tbh.
It's good to see Nintendo doing a sale on Octopath though since it's so rare. They should do one for their DQ games and TWEWY too.

I thought the way the characters were connected was clever....and that how most reviewers missed it was embarrassing on their part.
You didn't finish the game, did you? Or at least do all the sidequests?
It must be hard to be so close yet so wrong.
OTT I hope they can fix all the easily rectifiable faults of the game in a sequel. If they do it will be a killer.
Same here. I'm so happy it's up on Spotify. I hope Square Enix gets Yasunori Nishiki to do more composing.
He's not wrong. The connection between the characters is very superficial and to even find the "ending" you have to do a sidequest that's on the same level as Dark Souls' Artorias of the Abyss DLC in obscurity.
It's so damn obscure there is no reason to dog them for missing it. Like serious who they fuck would guess that that was how it was going to come together?
The final final boss is impossible, and I just Youtube'd it, if that's what you mean, but the tie between all the stories becomes apparent before that, and without even accepting that quest you start to notice some connections. The common backstory was frankly brilliant, and anyone who plays Octopath owes it to themselves to at least solve that mystery, without defeating the secret boss.
on sale in NA
I doubt it matches Octopath but it's probably going to clear a million anyway.
Huh? What do you base this very contradictory prediction upon?
I am one of those buyers. Sadly I have not even tried it yet. Someday soon! I've heard great things.
I wish more people gave DQXIS a chance as well. One of the best JRPGs on the system but it seems like the DQ brand is cursed in the West.
Bravely 1 was a million seller. BS happened due to that success, and Octopath happened because that team was successful.
Yep! Super happy to hear its legs have continued to be good. Hopefully we'll at least hear about the mobile prequel coming west this year, and maybe get sequel news next year.
No wonder with that music. Two people I know actively chose to avoid the game after watching me play it and hearing how the music sounds. /shrug
At least sounds better than the PS4 version I guess.
But seriously, Sugiyama needs to retire already.
I thought the XI S OST was ... bearable to okay, but I wouldn't have played it on the PS4 with the MIDI music. No way.
Y E S.

On topic: I contributed to those 2 million units - twice! haha. (And didn't even play through either the physical nor digital version, yet...)
Xenoblade going by if we go by japan's sales so far are either extremely close or already at 2 million sales, its up to Nintendo to report it however and sometimes they dont
I didn't know you had to use all 8 party members and got screwed because only four of my members were loaded. Of course you can't leave and come back without completely redoing it, so I never bothered going back.
Since this is a tweet just by Nintendo, and Square Enix self-published in Japan, I'm curious if this number is a Switch total or just a Nintendo-published territories total.
Nintendo's reporting of Octopath sales so far has only been of the ones they've published, whereas Square Enix was the one who revealed the 1M total just after the game's launch. A little hard to believe it'd reach that amount without counting Japan, though.

Bravely Second also still did over 700k. Not quite the failure people make it out to be.
I know about the backstory that connects everyone, but the characters themselves are still largely disconnected from each other. At no point they're really a party.
It's probably the best RPG I've played this gen. Not as good as the SNES era, or even the PS1, but it's still a solid title. I hope this proves there's a market for it.
I did as well, but it only made it so I could even finish the game. To be completely honest, though, I had other gripes with DQ XIS, which definitely go beyond the music. So I gotta hand it to the DQ VIII score that it at least made me finish the game afterall. I think I might have dropped it completely if it weren't for the alternative music score. So, yeah, props for that.
good stuff, one of the very best JRPGs of the last decade
well deserved, can't wait for another game in this visual style with this battle system

Boy, Nintendo sure does publish a lot of multi-million seller JRPGs. Xenoblade 2 will get there too eventually.
I loved this game when I first played it (it was my #2 GotY in 2018) and it's actually grown on me even more since then. This is a classic game that I'll still be playing many years from now, just like I still dig out FFV and Chrono Trigger once in a while.

Seems like wishful thinking on your part.
