Project Octopath Traveler's art style is a must for future Remakes.

Did you watch the video?
...What? Bravely Default looks absolutely horrible. Worse than nu-SoM. (Edit: not the backgrounds, but the models and battle scenes)

Lol that SoM remake is such a travesty. Not sure if Octopath style would look better tbh

I agree 1000% with this. This style plus FF6 and/or Chrono Trigger

Nah I don't want a game that wasn't designed with that art style forced into that artstyle.
The pixel art is great. Everything else is kinda terrible. And fancy lighting (slash post-processing of all sorts, really) simply does not belong on pixel art, ever.
It's like they took the worst part of the "mid-tier PS1 / PSP JRPG" aesthetic and added the worst part of the "mid-tier 360 Unreal" aesthetic.

I had hope that this was secretly going to be that and they'd give us that big reveal. But alas, an original title will have to do
I don't think they'll use this approach for other games because both the artstyle and the "8 interlocking stories" seem to make this game a spiritual successor to the SaGa series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DswYX1JFBZw , if not just a stealth SaGa entry.

I'm excited to play both Secret of Mana and Project Octopath Traveler, but I wouldn't want both of them to look the same. I enjoy the variety.

Octopath is beautiful but I definitely don't see it at the only option.
An HD version of Bravely Default's art style would be beautiful too!

2D sprites on 3D backgrounds would be a disaster for Secret of Mana. Hit box detection was bad enough in the original.

Thank you for this thread.
I was drooling during that showcase

or maybe because not every game should follow the same visual pattern? this artstyle wouldn't gel well with a lot of games.
i say that as someone who fucking loves pixel art.
but keep on fighting the good fight!

Better give characters more than two frames of animation if they want to keep using this style.

Saw someone mention on Twitter if people think this style would work for FF6 and just imagining it made me instantly want it.
This art style is fantastic and yeah I'd love to see this over crap like the SoM remake art style.

Final Fantasy VI should be remade in this engine.
Also every other classic Final Fantasys. As well as Chrono Trigger, Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3.
All of them

Let's go all in... Chrono Trigger/Cross sequel that looks like this would be astonishing.

I like what they were trying, but the game has too much bloom and not enough colour. Eh
