This looks amazing.. and there's a demo??? Shit, I better get on that...
You get a full, one-page tutorial splash screen before every important element, and people don't know how to boost or use a character's unique ability?
🤕
Who didn't immediately allure the guard after the tutorial? Only reason I realized they could maybe be a party member was because they had an attack listed.
Anyway, I totally died the first time on primrose's path's boss. I severely underestimated the need to actually buy gear/items in a demo, ha. I was shocked by how much HP the boss had. I also didn't have a villager with me because I had brainfarted and didn't check the girl before the catacombs. Oops (checked save guy and couldn't allure him, and I thought they were a duo so didn't bother).
I really like the simple elegance of the combat's flow: balancing when to boost, counting shields, and when to attack normally to stock boost. The boss really made the systems shine. Hitting it with a full boost after you break it 💅👌.
My only complaint is the text size. It's so small, what the heck. The help text especially.
I can't find the battle music on youtube T_T
Edit: someone was nice enough to save me

Nice. I didn't use lion dance till the second go, either. I'm really scatterbrained.jokes on you, i beat him without buying anything! I'm a true RPG MASTAH
Yeah, though I only went to the armory after I got beat. I bought a piece for every slot and had enough left over for two grapes. I really think I could have killed him the first time if I had the extra grapes, haha. Felt like I was close because it took a while, but who knows.You actually had money to buy gear in Primrose's path? Huh, that probably would have made it so the fights didn't drag on forever had I known.
Why is this developed by Acquire? Did Silicon Studio start work on it and then they were moved on to another project, like Bravely Sword. Surely if they worked on it their name would still be on it. Were they never the devs, was this misreported? SO MANY QUESTIONSSS
Why does it have to be a working title? I love the name Octopath Traveler. Keep it!

Misreported by who?
Do I have to do a search for the demo because I'm having trouble finding it on the eshop.

Well I don't know all the outlets that said this, but I know Kotaku did. I'm not saying this WAS misreported, I'm just wondering if this is a genuine change of developer or something lost in translation or mistranslated.
I downloaded the demo but i'm at the office right now.
How long is the demo ?
Nah, it's pretty deep. I'm am RPG vet and even some of the regular battles were kind of kicking my butt.How deep is the combat? I'm not too big on JRPGs and as such would much prefer a simpler one without too many systems. Sort of like what Child of Light does. Not expecting that level of simplicity but is it similar?
Just like how Code Vein is from the God Eater devs (aka the Namco Bandai producers who worked on God Eater), Octopus Travelator is from the Bravely Default devs, aka the Square Enix producers who worked on Bravely Default. Marketing and PR doesn't care who the "real" dev studios are.

Quick question for those that played the demo.
Can you allure women when playing as a woman and men when playing as a man?
This game plays poorly. It looked great in videos but I am not a fan of the pixelated characters. And the dialogue is long and insufferable. These voice actors are bad.
The lighting and environments are cool, but that's all this game has going for it. The battle system is a downright slog.
It's not. It is hokey and over-acted.I still don't understand the voice acting complaints minus maybe the kid. Everyone I know outside of GAF thinks the voice acting is phenomenal, including a few twitch streamers I've watched play the demo who seem to adore the game so far.
Too many random encounters with not enough fun to be had within those encounters. There's no unique hook to the turn based fighting to make it stand out. The boost system just seems whatever.Why you think it's a slog? Once I was using the boosts with better timing etc they could go pretty quick.
There are two scenarios to choose from. Each has about an hour of story content before the demo ends and you can free roam for optional content and secrets. There's probably a good 5-10 hours of stuff to get out of the demo. Level cap is 15.

Voice acting is pretty good. Erhardt sounded a bit Sean Bean-ish.
.. I hope people know that they can switch to jpn audio. But even then there is nothing wrong with the english audio track.
I managed to recruit Primrose at the end. Once you have a party the battle mechanics makes sense, breaking guards and focusing on certain enemies first. However I don't think the demo sells this system well. Hopefully we will get another demo in the future.

Is this up in EU yet? Couldn't find it an hour ago.
