Octopath Traveler 2 Confirmed During Nintendo Direct, Releasing February 24

Couldn't believe it when I saw this! I thought new O.T. was only coming to Mobile. I am soooooo excited for this game! Can't wait!

dang, feb is full

Would you look at that. The first initial of each character’s name can be arranged to spell out “Octopath”.

Loved the first one! But like many of the comments already here, I wish the stories intertwined a bit. BUT there IS an ultimate end of the game - THE GATE OF FINIS. Easily my favourite moment of the game. The music during that quest is hauntingly beautiful.

This was very much the treat of the Direct for me. I was in love with the first game and this looks like an actual proper iteration of that idea.

I know people had issues with the lack of an intertwined story in the first one, but it was designed that way because you don't have to recruit other party members. My first run was a duo run with Tressa and Cyrus, and if their stories had intertwined in an actual meaningful way beyond road discussions here and there, I imagine it would have been a challenge to make each story feel complete individually.

It might have been too ambitious to attempt that for the first game when that wasn't the primary vision for the game. That said, I really look forward to seeing how they possibly solved that problem.

While I enjoyed the first Octopath, I was disappointed that the 8 travelers stories ... well just ended with no overall intermix of the stories to reach a final goal. And while the stories were pretty good for each of them, some of them just finished with a fizzle. IT would be nice if the sequel would finish their backstories and then all 8 go on to ... well you know, JPRG save the world/universe/a slime, etc type ending.

I wish there was more information on that.

Triangle strategy was awesome in its battle, but wow the 3 path story ending was such a let down. Better writing for the closures or at least some path that would allow a ending would be nice.

I do not like playing these types of games that have often open endings, or just origin story endings with no over arching ending. Great visual styles and combat.

Looking forward to this one. Really enjoyed the first one, but a couple travelers had meandering stories and the end game pacing slowed down. Reminded me of the end game portion of the first Bravely Default though not quite as bad.
