The “staggered” enemies reminds me of Octopath Traveller. Having an eight person party is a lot like the Octopath mobile game, too. But I do appreciate the pixel art.
This looks really beautiful, but I’ve been hurt by SquareEnix before
“What if they continued to push the limits of pixel?”
Yeah they did, it’s called Octopath Traveler! Lol, I am still looking forward to this though.
They saw the growing success of multiple octopath releases and wanted a cut. But honestly octopath 1 left alot to be desired. Thinking this may scratch that itch for me… No more Pepsi, I’m getting a Coke!
Octopath is owned by Square Enix as well so idk about that. I am happy they are finally doing this, I’ve been asking for this since before octopath but once i saw octo I just wanted to see it more. Personally I think they should break the series into 2. The main one continuing to do whatever it is they are doing, and then a classic style series like this but completely new stories and just continuing to do the old school way while improving the systems to be more modern. I feel like they would have better luck pushing that these days over a truly new FF sadly.
No kidding. This literally looks like a new Octopath Traveler game but instead they slapped the FF brand sticker on it.
I’m not against that, but call a spade a spade. This is not new or innovative like they’re making it out to be.
Brave Exvius started in 2015 and Octopath was 2019. This is just a new iteration, dumping the gacha part and adding a full traversable open world map.
Well how about that. And yet they’ll still try to charge $90 for it, I bet.
EDIT: I stand pleasantly corrected
“Heroes resonate across worlds”
This plot point has been done about a billion times now too
Octopath is not just its HD-2D art style, as its core (at least for octopath 1 and 2) are the 8 independant stories, main characters and basic jobs.
Interesting this is going to be on steam and other platforms. Must have been in the works before all the other management screwups.
