The story takes place in Solistia, a land comprising an eastern and western continent divided by the sea.

It is a bustling era, wherein large vessels navigate busy sea routes and the power of steam gives birth to new technologies.

Some people thrill to glamorous stars of the stage and industry, while others are brought to tears by war, plague, and poverty.

In this faraway realm, eight travelers hailing from different regions venture forth for their own reasons. Step into their shoes and explore the land as you see fit, using their unique talents to aid you along your journey.

Embark on an adventure all your own.

Key Features:

• Begin your adventure as one of eight new travelers, each with their own origins, motivations, and unique skills.
• The series’ HD-2D graphics, a fusion of retro pixel art and 3D CG, have reached even greater heights.
• The story takes place in Solistia, where diverse cultures thrive from east to west and the industries of the new era flourish. You can sail the seas and explore every corner of a world that changes from day to night.
• Each traveler has a unique set of Path Actions they can use to battle townspeople, obtain items, take others along in their travels, and more. Where will you go? What will you do? Every path is yours to take.
• Familiar mechanics from the original game have been preserved, like the freedom to develop your travelers’ jobs and skills, as well as the Break and Boost system that made battles so exhilarating. New mechanics have also been added.

Would like to try this, but I can't get the first one on the PS, and I can't start with the second game in the series.

Its like saying you cant play ff6 because you didnt play ff5. + OT2 is by far superior, i would rather start with him, i wish this one was the first of the franchise.

Solid sales, I haven't played it yet but really enjoyed the first one. When Phil opens up the checkbook to get it on gamepass, it will bring in some more revenue as well.

the second game is much much better, the only thing I don't like is that I have the perfect team up with the cleric and mage at night time, and I feel like any other combo is way weaker (you can start each fight with augmented stats)

what i mean is the game is actually quite easy with those two spell casters in your party, and quite hard without them, I didn't feel that way in the first game

Really great sales, but somewhat disappointed because the first one sold 3 million, and over 1 million on Switch only after few weeks. Maybe we are not getting a sequel for Octopath

Octopath 1 had a very staggered release.
Switch only, then windows a year later, then stadia a year later, THEN xbox a year later.

As opposed to PS5/switch/pc all at once.
