Octopath Traveler - Overview Launch Trailer - Nintendo Switch

[@FlorentiusIV]

For those not understanding the name Octopath it is an acronym for all the main characters. O: Ophilia C: Cyrus T: Tressa O: Olberic P: Primrose A: Alfyn T:Therion H: H'aanit

[@cambern]

It also probably is called that because octo means eight and there are 8 paths

[@therealmckoy6772]

@@cambern all with different paths in the story

[@HenryCasillas]

🍪

[@no89lan3]

Didn't know that

[@rein5174]

I always thought it's because the game has 8 main characters

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

Everyone PLEASE don’t sleep on this game -I guarantee it’s gonna be an instant classic. I’ve been playing Cyrus’s story for about an hour, and it’s simply phenomenal! Everyone please at the very least check out the demo, then pick up this masterfully crafted title!

[@TheNitr01]

I did Cyrus first as well! He's such a charming character.

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

TheNitr01 Cyrus Squad!!

[@Mreger450]

Cyrus is soooo cool

[@orangeleaf2056]

I do agree that Cyrus may be my favorite

[@jacksonlovesnintendo]

Jo eh, I agree with that to an extent. I’m never really tired of pixel art, but because it’s so frequent these days thanks largely to the indie scene, I like when they do something unique to differentiate their pixel art from other games. Whether it’s super detailed and gorgeous like this game or (to a lesser extent, but still great) Owlboy or more unique and charming like Shovel Knight and Celeste.

[@jerrytotten3733]

Wow, this trailer is almost a mini specialized Direct.

[@NikoBellic0_0]

man, the game just looks gorgeous ^_^

[@sadekOBE]

niko bellic have you tried the demo? The game is fantastic!

[@NikoBellic0_0]

as a matter of fact i did try out the demo and almost immediately fell in love with the game`s presentation and way of conveying a compeling story ^_^

[@joniden2215]

Considering it's pixel graphics. This shows that you don't need HD 4K graphics for a game to be beautiful.

[@prestonheit1582]

Niko shut up and go boating with Brucie

[@WIILP3450]

niko bellic in my opinion, the game looks so good that it’s almost too good to be good

[@S34Mii]

Got a road trip coming up and this is going to be the perfect way to use my time while I'm not driving. Love that portability Nintendo!

[@schumerus6786]

Trey2Da As I travel quite often by train during 3 hours, this is a blessing for me too ;) I enjoy playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Skyrim during the travel as well

[@ByondTime]

How? The Switch's battery sucks even with dim screen and in airplane mode. Also, SOOOO hyped for this game! X3

[@schumerus6786]

ByondTime You’re right if you expect a battery life of more than 3 hours for a heavy game. Those last approximatively 3h and then it’s over, but if you were to play less heavy games like this maybe, you could expect 5-6h I think

[@jtmarbury007]

For a second I read "while I'm driving"

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

The soundtrack makes me teary eyed. So beautiful.

[@kodoyama]

The art in the game is just beautiful. It really harkens back to the classic 16 bit era Squaresoft art that has never been surpassed in my opinion. I sure hope SquareEnix makes more games in this style, there's so much potential.

[@JazzyJeff2891]

I hope my order of the Wayfarer's Edition doesn't have delivery issues today... This is my most anticipated game this year.

[@AoiFlame02]

I check my scheduled arrival and it changed from 13 to 16 and finally to 17 😂😂 I want to die

[@indigo7898]

Amazon screwed mine up :D

[@freakyninja3545]

Jazzy Jefferson me to I have the $ to get it by 75$ because I paid 25$ for the special edition I'm getting it today and China buffet. 😀

[@zesky1822]

mine too. :'(

[@wicho99w99]

Jazzy Jefferson this is exactly why I prefer digital this days lol the game its amazing I’m only 1 hour in and I’m loving it. That collectors edition might be worth it tho

[@TonyKanameKuran]

FUN FACT: The narrator for launch trailer of Octopath Traveler is the same movie trailer announcer that you hear during the sneak previews from Disney Home Entertainment-- *MARK ELLIOT.*

[@evanloughlin1126]

I came to comments for this haha. I was like "I know this announcer...". Thanks mate!

[@classicsbycandace]

Cool to know! 😎

[@unicorninvader8783]

I don't need it... I don't need it... I DEFENITLEY don't need it... I don't need it... I don't need it... *I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT*

[@troublewithcoffee8236]

hahaha, me too

[@bohalaa1733]

bang bang my like

[@cabbageoverlord4540]

Is this the new Octo Expansion all the kids are talking about nowadays

[@DickfaceMcGhee]

No, Octo expansion is its own thing. You still have to play Octodad to u ser stand both.

[@Kittycats-v4k]

Yes XD

[@sircadet9035]

Dickface McGhee it clearly a joke lol but good answer

[@bens.1475]

Cabbage Overlord LOOOOOL

[@Nitosa]

Donaldo alvares i think r/Whoooosh

[@ff_crafter]

This games is amazing for JRPG fans

[@Boko]

yay! I ordered the special edition, and it should be arriving tommorow! Can't wait!

[@browngone1782]

Annoying Bokoblin what's the difference between special edition and a regular one?

[@Boko]

the special one just comes with some collective stuff, like a popup book, a coin, etc also, I believe it is actually called "Wayfarer's Edition"

[@browngone1782]

Annoying Bokoblin Thanks good to know I always though it came with like secret levels or something like that

[@fumorg9917]

When are you gonna start breaking the game( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@bctalicorn809]

I skipped the first demo, just because I didn't think this game wasn't anything too special. Then, the direct happened, and I thought to myself "what the heck? This game looks gorgeous! Why didn't I pay much attention to it before?" Nintendo then released the 3-hour demo.... And I didn't want to stop playing after my time was up. This game is AMAZING. The battle system is so much fun and the characters are really cool. Not a day-one purchase for me, because I'm short on money, but believe me, I will buy this game as soon as possible.

[@worldofcyn]

I love the absolute variety and depth to this game.

[@mandycandy]

Best game for me

[@forgottenstuds8795]

It’s amazing, we can all agree on that.

[@dorime5018]

Olha quem tá aquiiii!!

[@Ryuojikun]

This game has me hooked it's just so fantastic

[@perk423]

This game, despite some of its narrative flaws, there’s no denying its soundtrack is top tier. Some of the best in gaming, it’s unfortunate many people won’t ever get to check it out.

[@BigDonSkillz]

These graphics..... MUST PLAY

[@jokelethkurueisner9229]

HD-2D… something about mixing retro 16-bit with a CGI environment speaks volumes to me. A perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity! 😍🙏

[@adamhawks3460]

Ordered the Deluxe edition with the pop up book, supposed to come in today but it AINT HERE YET REEEEEEEE

[@unicorninvader8783]

I need to give Nintendo an I.O.U

[@Runeless]

Ready for dat release!

[@Delph-i]

This is Game of the Year material right here

[@perfctgamer]

Antoine Johnson they're missing the graphics for a game of the year. Other than that ya I might be, let's see.

[@perfctgamer]

DueMagician921 which game of the year had graphics like this in the past 10 years...it's not a criteria but it certainly be a factor that makes a lot of people not play the game unfortunately. It's gotta be a massive game to be a game of the year.

[@mohangrewal1466]

No, not really. Its not game of the year material imo

[@perfctgamer]

Mattness I love it too, but it looks nothing like Zelda Breath of the wild or Overwatch(not as good graphically but it was so massive), neither The Witcher which are the 3 past games of the year.

[@egs1498]

As much as I hate to say it,i have to agree with Nicolas ,popularity and graphics do have a role in goty. Now if you have proof of a game that was goty,that wasn't popular or had incredible graphics(at that current time)please tell me,and I mean this in a respectful way.

[@Danntheman1776]

Can't wait to play this on Xbox Game Pass!

[@maddestmike5791]

Truly a masterpiece!! :D

[@rebel_of_the_underground157]

Don't forget bravely default

[@inklatte7869]

Why must Nintendo continue to hurt my wallet Edit:Thanks for 100 likes

[@prettyboyjeremy]

InkLatte same I’m pretty sure I’ve spent almost a 1000$ purely on games

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Because it's Friday the 13th.

[@Sonic171K]

Because they don't care about your wallet hurting. They just want your money.

[@stoptakingusernamepls6381]

Yellow *Thats rookie numbers kiddo*

[@hypnometal]

Because the pleasure you get is so worth the pain. :-D

[@tntdragon109]

2:02 CYRUS CAN WHAT

[@wispy9121]

ive been playing for 35 hours so far. The music is amazing, and i love the charcters and art style. phenominal video game.

[@nwm4660]

in a few hours i can play this, the wait is killing me.

[@kldz3583]

When I saw this game.... I saw the original soul of JRPG

[@rolandomúsica]

Subtle how the first letter of the 8 protagonists names spell out "Octopath", it's a nice touch

[@Awgez24]

In the other trailer it was not so subtle

[@jamiephilip79]

Also Octopath literally means 8 path.

[@mcganahanskjellyfetti7722]

I have played about 2 hours so far and I’m absolutely in love with this game 😍 What more can I say except for how beautiful the artwork and music are. Thanks to Square Enix and Nintendo for such an amazing game 🙂

[@myfriendkirby]

I've never had the dedication to go back and replay a game from the start. This game was the first. I'd played it before, clocking in about 60 hours, and I wasn't done yet (I was training for the true final boss.) Then, one day, I started a new save file and accidentally saved over that 60 hour file. It was a crushing feeling. It was my favorite game (still is), and I'd put more time into that game than any other game at the time, even more than my old favorites like Kirby and Pokemon. But I wasn't ready to come back to it. I didn't want to come back to it. I stopped for 2 months. Then, I put the cartridge back in. I saw that new save file where my old file was. I didn't want to go back, but at the same time, I did. It was and is my favorite video game, hands down. The stories, the pixel art style, the music, EVERYTHING. It pulled me back in. And now, here I am, with a fully restored save file from scratch, and with the game 100% completed in 80 hours. I'm so glad I came back. This truly is the best RPG out there, and I hope that other RPG developers follow in this game's footsteps.

[@JettBlack-Music]

Octopath and Bloodstained have some of the best new OSTs. If it's your cup of tea, I did an Octopath medley on my channel in a calm classical guitar style.

[@Dracobyte]

FYI: The first Octopath Traveller has sold 3 million copies, both physical and digital! Thank you Team Asano for this and other games.

[@videogamer2574]

2:01 he said sus out lol

[@joeyh31]

Gonna be arriving in the mail today. Of course I'm working for the next week. So bummed. Will play it my entire vacation after that though. Can't wait.

[@CatsAkimb0]

Picking mine up this afternoon, SO EXCITED!!!!

[@TheUnicorn-co1xr]

This will be an instant classic can't wait to get my special edition today

[@johnleerice4941]

I'm pumped for this game. I'm picking it up when I get off work. Excitement level is OVER 9000!

[@WildPortraitArtist]

Can't wait to collect my copy after I finish work!

[@kingkold1389]

About to pick my copy up today

[@ArngrimTV]

Mine's at the local postal office, grabbing it tomorrow after the last day of work before vacation. Can't wait!

[@krysivory493]

I just bought this game yesterday. It'll arrive soon!

[@obitonagato6420]

Already got my copy and my collector's edition as well.

[@prettyboyjeremy]

Already preordered picking this up after work

[@mathpc4047]

Gordon Ramsay: "Finally, Some good f*cking food...."

[@egenfoe393]

Probably this became the reason why i should buy the switch soon.

[@comraderaichu6940]

I started with Olberic. I'm loving Mr. Unbending Blade and I adore the game.

[@andrewkufour9504]

Yeah I started playing at 12 AM and I really can’t stop....

[@samasami24]

just spent 70 hours this year lol i barely sleep playing this masterpiece day and night

[@MrMango-mg5cg]

When I look at the happy people who ordered it, it just makes me feel sad because I don't have enough money for the switch and the game. I hope all of you with the game have a great time playing it. :)

[@JayLeu]

It was painful waiting for this to unlock on my Switch, and I am LOVING it so far.

[@punkayk]

188 likes, 0 dislikes. I love this game

[@punkayk]

Now I say that and look what happens

[@mattbb987]

This game is a ton of fun; really like what they’ve done with the battle mechanics. Doesn’t hurt that it looks and sounds amazing :)

[@maxsonly]

IT'S FRIDAY!!! I'm going to pick this game up later : )

[@lachd2261]

Bought it today (in Australia) and have just spent 6 hours playing it non stop. This game is amazing.

[@ZsH85]

my first ever video game i preordered and bought day 1

[@dbenjavelaz3491]

Hey, Golden Sun Dark Dawn developers! This is what we wanted.

[@ashleygreen3874]

Got mine today collectors at half nine best Friday the 13th.

[@N_Moli]

True story: in my car outside my local Gamestop. I waited a long time for this!

[@daisan1201]

if pokemon only looked like this

[@shadyauras]

It’s finally out! I have been playing all the demos! Yes!!

[@SSJVegeta2012]

This, Lost Spear, Bravely Default, Bravely Second, and Persona 5 proves that turn based RPGs are here to stay

[@DesertGhost42]

Picking this game up at the store today. Can’t wait to get started!

[@WIILP3450]

I’ve never been so excited for a game to release EVER!!!!

[@Hazemann]

I want a Switch Pocket (clamshell design) to play this awesome game Nintendo!

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Not happening.

[@GruesomeUntitledYale]

Cant wait to get it!

[@KingDanieltheDandy]

Freaking so hyped for this!

[@ninamelocavalcanti5437]

this game seems so amazing, i loved the demo, cant waint to get my hands on the full game!!!

[@nanaboru3276]

Square enix never dissapoints

[@nanaboru3276]

DueMagician921 well im still waiting for the ff7 remake if its still in progess

[@Krawurxus]

Never thought I'd say these world about anything, but this game looks so perfectly quaint it's actually that quaintness that's incredibly appealing.

[@user-pp3tn2lt3q]

IT’S HERE!!!!

[@TheNitr01]

This is going to be one of the deepest and most vast RPGs of all time.

[@quackerzsis99]

TheNitr01 I wouldn't go that far. But it does seem like it's gonna be a fantastic RPG!

[@ratmgant]

no

[@eeeeggnog._.]

not half as vast or deep as Xenoblade X but that's ok, it's still an amazing game

[@rayminishi689]

cabbage scented candle X is trassssssh

[@eeeeggnog._.]

RayMinishi yeah, no. Gameplay wise it's the best xenoblade game and one of the best games ever. Story wise it's not the best but the lore has more than enough potential to make a sequel that has the best xeno story of all

[@bash8598]

Waiting outside of gamestop!! 5 minutes left!!

[@xbluedreamx]

I love this game so much🥹

[@antidevgodot]

My game is going to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait.

[@beanie42069]

The fact that I don't have to play the game 8 times for each story is great. Most JRPGs make you play a bunch of times to play different MCs.

[@Awgez24]

Or a JRPG that makes you play the same game 8 times in one playthrough. (Bravely)

[@RealRaslu]

So this is where SE sent all the good FF devs. I love this game so much! Final fantasy needs to return to whatever this game did.

[@g-rated3514]

When I get back home next week I'll be buying this

[@mikegamache2200]

Been playing this game and its amazing. Please make an octopath traveler 2

[@TWEEMASTER2000]

This is one of the best break down / trailers for a game i've ever seen, please do more like this!

[@sleddeddson6643]

Besides fire emblem I think this might be my reason for buying a switch

[@laxuspoldish6165]

Don't get a switch if you aren't going to get multiple games for it. It's not worth it if you are just going to get 1 or 2 games for the system. We all know what nintendo brings to the table when it comes to nintendo switch exclusives. So if there is not enough of those IPs that interests you then don't get the switch

[@Awgez24]

Actually you should buy a Switch if you want to. That is the only reason to consider.

[@samus-rd1channel]

I love this game!!!

[@victorndende5981]

RPG of the year

[@michaela5737]

Wow, we've never seen a Break system in a Square Enix game before ... That being said, this still looks awesome.

[@persenn8935]

It makes sense that this was made by Square Enix

[@TonyKanameKuran]

Published by Square Enix in Japan, published by Nintendo in North America and Europe, developed by Square Enix's ACQUIRE, powered by Unreal Engine 4. In other words... you're right Persenn.

[@BlackScythertainment]

All of them!

[@patfrost3498]

Got the game on launch and already put 11-12 hours into it. It's so addicting!

[@usernamenotslect]

Can't wait to play it.

[@KingPancakez]

Thank you for this game SE!!

[@JCPandaz]

IVE WAITED SO LONG!!! It’s finally here!

[@dearrationals]

I played the demo and liked it soo much. The old-school art style and gameplay really drew me in, as well as the story. I started with Primrose and hers is definitely a sad and serious storyline. My friend got the game for me for my birthday and I'm excited to play further!

[@ClintonomoBay]

THERE GOES MY WEEKEND!

[@josephnellums2691]

Nintendo is magical

[@eeeeggnog._.]

I had it preloaded so I played for like 4 hours last night
