I'm tempted to try the OT series, although the traditional cutesy JRPG presentation is a bit of a hurdle for me. Is this a prequel then? Although I guess each OT has a totally separate story anyways.
Interesting there is a Playstation 4 release, but not an Xbox One release.
I buy these HD-2D games for handhelds mostly, so I'll get it for Switch 2 if it isn't a silly Game Key Card or Code in a box.
Looked it up. The last SE game for Xbox One was Octopath 2. That game was the only game SE released on Xbox One in 2024 and had zero games released for Xbox One in 2023. Even the games that made sense to release on Xbox One (Trial of Mana, FF Pixel Remasters, and Legend of Mana) came out only for Xbox Series last year.
SE (and Atlus) are done with Xbox One it seems, but are still willing to put games on PS4.
I mean, doesn't matter to me... Just a bizarre decision to make, considering the Xbox One did sell 60~ million consoles which is double the Xbox series.
But I do still use the Xbox One in my games room on the odd occasion, so it's always a bonus when a new game drops on it... Might just force me to retire my Xbox One sooner and get a second Xbox Series X... I just don't want to lose Kinect and voice commands.
I guess that's one direction to go.
