To my understanding, UK's stock for the Switch greatly improved when Splatoon 2 got released. I've heard or seen no complaints regarding stock issues over here, anyway, and getting mine was super easy. Importing from the UK is an option for people, though it's admittedly a more costly one. Trails has spoiled us both. Oh thats good to hear in the UK (and in the other posts case, Canada) I just keep hearing from fellow people here in the states, that its still really hard to find one.

I want to know what some of the other characters look like, especially the villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would solve my issue with the sprites being inexpressive! I hope they see you suggestion and go "ah, of course!" and implement it. Don't worry about not mentioning the ability to skip dialogue; I believe every single person I've talked to about this game has expressed their desire for such a feature, so I'm sure it'll be the single most requested thing on the survey.

Jedi Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) My actual main want with the game is that all 8 stories actually have differences when all the characters meet up, like how seiken densetsu 3 works, as opposed to how Dragon Age did things which was unique origins but the same overarching plot, while SD3 had similar plots the mc you chose had their own villain and unique motivations for the quest. I'd love another huge replay value RPG like SD3 had with its branching classes, your ability to choose which party members joined, etc. Edited September 18, 2017 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Age: Origins did make your race matter in some ways and changed a lot of flavor texts, but if they can keep up the uniqueness of each character, I'll be happy. I can't imagine it'll be so easy as to just stroll into Cobbleston as Primrose and pick up Olberic in the main game. They all have their own objectives, after all, so that must be reflected in the final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I do like that about Origin at least, as you kept your identity, but I always felt it could have done more with it, still really enjoy it overall.

Armagon Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I just realized something that the game needs: more than three save files. I know it's a demo and all but if you're gonna have eight characters and eight stories, three save files isn't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 3 is only for the demo, but I also know If i'm playing this game i'm only gonna focus on one story at a time. But this does seem weird, although I may just be spoiled by Trails in the Sky/Zero/AO/Cold Steel having hundreds of pages of saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one save file will involve you meeting up with other characters, and playing through their storylines, before they join you. No way they'll make you play the game 8 different times to get the full story, that's straight up too much.

I'd rather all 8 stories have differences as mentioned previously in say SD3, you had 6 characters, 3 of which you could pick as your team. The MC had their own introduction and motivations along with determining the main villain, certain plot aspects unique to that character and final area, along with having a double branching class system, so the replay value was absolutely nuts. I've been waiting for a similarly replayable RPG since it. So I hope this is its successor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's true, we don't really know what the plot structure will be like, huh? I mean, there would be little point in having eight protagonists if you could just go pick them up at your leisure and finish an overarching plot without their backstory being relevant.

Jingle Jangle Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 All this talk is making me want the play the demo. the problem is that I need a switch. I'm getting a Bravely Default vibe by the trailer, mainly due to the art style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah the Prussian Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yeah, I also honestly hope each character has a basically unconnected story. Not every RPG needs to be about stopping the Evil Emperor who wants to conquer the world, or the Evil God who hates humans, or whatever.

Well they're gonna connect to some extent judging from some screenshots showing the 8 together. Maybe its like 8 separate plots where the 8 run into each other at varying points and such but all have their own end game and like little adventures so to speak, that would actually be enough imo.

Gaia093 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I really enjoyed the Octopath Traveler bit during the Direct, and the demo was really good. I've only played the warrior story so far, but it was fun stuff. I'll get to the dancer eventually. I loved the artstyle, the music and overall presentation of the gameplay. Even Olberic himself seemed a pretty cool character to play as. Something else I enjoyed was the dual audio option. Sometimes they don't even put it in demos even if the full game is going to have it, but in this case, there it was. Way to go, really. So, in short, I'm definitely buying this whenever it's released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primrose is interesting, and I want to see where her story goes, but I won't say more so I don't spoil your surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This game is interesting. I might want to try it out when I get the switch and once the game comes out and this is coming from someone who usually prefers only Nintendo games outside of PC gaming.

Jedi Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 http://nintendoeverything.com/project-octopath-traveler-devs-on-the-early-silence-development-progress-more/ This interview is nice, nothing like spectacularly new and it is a few days old but its nice to hear the devs answer some basic questions sometimes. Most notable here is probably It will have English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Italian text on launch. Sounds like they’ll have one version worldwide.

Thanks man. I know this might just be PR, but it sounds like they've got a pretty down-to-earth approach to developing this game. That bodes well. I hope the feedback reaches them, too; things like character portraits and being able to skip dialogue would really improve things, though the demo was already a very pleasant experience. I found this on YouTube, too, for everyone's listening pleasure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude that is so awesome! While the things they brought up usually weren't what I was worried about, the fact that the skip cutscene option is already implemented is a major relief. I was hoping for something along the lines of character portraits, but maybe that won't happen or they can't show it yet. Regardless, this really increased my respect for this team.

Tuvy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Already more info on this title than a main series Nintendo title coming out in the same year. This game looks great though, and I hope that it releases before the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
