OCTOPATH TRAVELER II

终于全成就了，好玩是好玩，就是音乐没有一代好听印象深刻，别的还是原来的味道

I really wanted to love this game, it's absolutely beautiful. I was sold on how beautiful the game looks. The combat is fairly straight forward and simple enough to pick up for anyone who has played JRPGs before. The characters all seem interesting enough from what I saw. My main problem is how little story there seems to be in the game. I'm over 10 hours in. Aside from the introductory story for the characters I got, (I did not get all the characters) there was probably only 20 minutes of story I saw. The monsters you find in the open world are so strong, which is fine, but it makes exploration in the world take a lot of time. You combine all that time spent traveling and grinding, because you have to grind to get through these areas, and you realize 90% of your time feels like it's in combat with no story. The game looks stunning, the combat is fun enough, but I play RPGs for the story and there was so little story, I'm just not interested in carrying on at this point.

Okay, here goes nothing... cue the challenge music. Someone once asked me, What is Octopath Traveler II?" After more than **90 hours** of gameplay, I think I finally have an answer. At its core, Octopath Traveler II is a JRPG with incredible music, beautiful HD-2D visuals, excellent voice acting, satisfying turn-based combat, and eight memorable character-driven stories. But that description barely scratches the surface. The game follows eight protagonists from completely different walks of life whose journeys eventually intertwine—hence the name *Octopath Traveler*. Every character has their own motivations, strengths, and personal struggles, making each storyline feel meaningful rather than simply existing to serve one larger plot. One thing that surprised me is how accessible the game is. It doesn't require a high-end PC to look gorgeous, and it plays wonderfully whether you're using a keyboard, an Xbox controller, or streaming through Steam Link with a handheld controller like a Razer Kishi or Backbone. In over 90 hours, I've experienced fantastic adventures, memorable boss fights, incredible music, and more than a few close calls. Better yet, I haven't encountered a single bug or glitch. Now, I'm a pretty cheap person when it comes to buying games. $60 is a lot of money in my eyes. My personal rule is that I want at least one hour of entertainment for every dollar I spend. So far, Octopath Traveler II has absolutely delivered. I've already played for over 90 hours, and I still feel like I'm only around halfway through because I tend to complete everything I can. If you're the same kind of player, this game offers an enormous amount of content. The combat deserves special mention. It's well balanced, but it also lets you become powerful enough to feel like you've earned your strength. Even then, major bosses remain challenging and rewarding throughout each character's story. If I had one criticism, it's the frequency of random encounters while exploring. At times it can feel like you're fighting something every 20–30 steps. Thankfully, later job abilities can reduce encounter rates, so the game eventually gives you some control over that. On the other hand, those battles are also how your party grows stronger, so it's a tradeoff rather than a major flaw. If you're new to the game, here's one simple tip: Always break enemy shields. Exploit enemy weaknesses until their shield breaks, then unload your strongest attacks while they're stunned. Against regular enemies, this mechanic becomes less critical later on, but against bosses it remains one of the most important parts of combat from beginning to end. Overall, I highly recommend Octopath Traveler II. It somehow feels both nostalgic and modern at the same time. The HD-2D art style is charming, the soundtrack is phenomenal, the gameplay is polished, and after more than 90 hours, it still hasn't stopped giving me reasons to keep coming back to it for more. If you're interested in classic JRPGs, I'd absolutely recommend adding it to your wishlist and picking it up during a sale—or grabbing it now if you're eager to jump in. And if you're still on the fence... Try the demo. It does an excellent job of showing exactly what kind of adventure you're about to begin.

Oh, this game is so pretty and charming. This is the sort of wholesome fun that I thought I left behind when I grew up and moved out of my parents' place. I love the art style and I really enjoyed the cute, sweet, corny story. The combat is interesting enough to pay attention to. The sound track is immaculate, and the characters are delightful. 9/10

I am now in a state of shock and astonishment after completing Octopath Traveler II, where I do not know what to do as the story is now over. I haven't felt like since this finishing A Final Fantasy or Persona style game. The writers absolutely cooked with the 8 characters and the main/side stories. The gameplay is exactly what you would want and expect from a turn based game. There was actual challenges that took some strategy to work through. At most I spent maybe a few hours grinding EXP and JP to make fights easier. Dancer RNG made a level farming super easy and exciting when it worked. They need to make a third game, I don't know how they could improve on the series, but this is a game formula worth creating a Octopath Traveler III for.

The sidetracks be sidetracking I chose throne and I have not even completed her chapter 3 cause all the other character stores are more interesting.

之前在ns模拟器上玩过但没玩完，这次算是正式补票，虽然剧情很多玩过了，但再玩一次还是觉得很好玩，一下子就能玩进去，战斗系统很不错，唯一的缺点就是八个人物练级有点肝，但我也是入了宗教把这个最枯燥的环节跳了，依然没有觉得破坏游戏体验，反而觉得更流畅了，探索和体验故事没有便秘的感觉，整体非常好，如果2026年还有没有体验过八方旅人的，真的很适合进来体验一下

我是26年6月趁着慈善包的机会入的。在这里，每一个NPC不是背景板，，不是武器店只会说“少年 我们的武器物美价廉童叟无欺”的自动播报器，而是一个个活生生的、有着自己故事的人。SE给每一个NPC设计了自己的情报、财物和技能，而你会在不经意间发现其中的小巧思。这些无数的信息不会影响你通关主线，但当你注意到NPC间的爱恨情仇，这款游戏就不仅仅是八方旅人，而是整个大陆无数的人。这里的支线没有二游式的任务索引，需要你一个个去探索，一个个去留意。想要完成支线，除非查攻略，你必须留意身边的每一个人，抓住每一个线索。这款游戏我的进度暂时不高，但我相信 ，将你所见到的每一个人，串联一张巨大的关系网，那一定是无比壮观的一幕。这款游戏的战斗系统看似简单，实际非常复杂。主职业个副职业 8个常规职业，4个隐藏职业，每个职业的4个辅助技能，以及无数带来机制改变的饰品装备，这些交织起来，构成了很有深度战斗系统。当你认真研究这些时，它们所带来的成就感是无法估量的

又香又臭的。同样是 to-do list 玩法，能不能支撑人玩下去完全取决于细节。美术，音乐，对话都有小巧思，能时不时带给你一些感动。可惜剧情割裂，一部分像是写给幼稚园小朋友的，一部分即使成年人来看也会觉得恶心不适。古早的遇敌机制也令人烦躁。

Ayant déjà terminé le 1er du nom plusieurs fois, j'avais vraiment beaucoup d'espoir, d'attentes et une hâte immense de jouer au 2. Au final très déçu, un lore aussi prévisible que possible avec des cinématiques / dialogues qui ruinent complètement le peu de mystère qu'il y a de base dans le jeu, des classes inédites vraiment faites à la va vite avec des compétences complètement tirées par les cheveux et un système de collectable pour améliorer ces classes... On souffle... Passer 3 heures juste pour trouver un item qui me permet d'avoir une compétence en plus, bon.. Je veux bien que le farming fasse partie d'un RPG mais là c'est vraiment sans saveur. Aucune vraie synergie avec ces fameuses classes inédites avec les classes de base, un système de licence de classe quasiment inutile ( encore une méthode de vipère pour allonger la durée de vie du jeu en rajoutant des collectable et des objectifs à la mords moi le noeux ), des combats presque trop facile avec un game design où soit tu te fais rouler dessus soit tu roules complètement sur le jeu. Bref Square Enix dans toutes sa splendeur
