It is likely a temporary situation caused by the publishing rights reverting from Nintendo back to Square Enix. Still worth mentioning though.



UP: Square is working on it.

PlayStation version coming in hot? Thought about grabbing it on PC, but would rather play on console and I assumed at some point it might come to PlayStation anyway.

Yeah, reverting back to Square publishing makes sense.

My immediate thought with the list of Nintendo first party games being removed from physical media, that Nintendo Selects are indeed on the way. A good way to pick up budget shoppers as Nintendo tries to hold back as much as possible for Switch 2 launch or Cross Gen launch.

Imagine having to swap out all of those cartridges.

Steam version unaffected so it’s definitely some weird publishing thing

This only matters if you haven't already bought it. Even if a game gets delisted you can still download it again if you own it.

Just get the second Octo

I did already, that’s what made me want the first one so much lol

I think Octopath Traveler 2 completely supercedes the fist one. It's like Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 vs 2 or Elevator Action vs Elevator Action Returns or Street Fighter vs Street Fighter II.

No real reason to play the first one other than historical curiosity, I guess. I.e.: Play Octopath 2, if you haven't.

An eShop listing would have nothing to do with a port to a different console. The two things would be completely unrelated.

I figured, just wishful thinking I suppose

Update from Wario64:

So I guess Nintendo being the publisher was a temporary deal. Interesting. Nintendo still remain the publisher of the 3DS Dragon Quest games, right? (I remember someone saying that Nintendo bankrolled the 3DS version of DQ7, including a new translation or something)

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like Square have announced that they're working on it.

Anything but that.

this fucking game looks like a 14 year old girl that discovered instagram filters for the first time.

such a shame.

Whoever tells someone not to play the first Octopath Traveler needs to go home and be a family man. So much L.

The second one is a huge improvement in every conceivable way. And you don’t even need to play the first one to jump right into 2, since it’s all new characters and new setting. Not seeing the issue

The first game is great, is the issue.

Compared to the second one? I feel like people would only be stuck on the first game and dig their heels in, if they haven't yet played 2. Because it's night & day, quite honestly.

 

[Labadal]

I beg to differ, but opinions and all that.

Did you play the second one extensively?

I beat both hundred percent, and find both to be excellent games.
