About Octopath Traveler
The first Octopath Traveler takes players across the continent of Orsterra, a land filled with lush forests, desert towns, snowy cathedrals, and dangerous wilderness.
Players choose from eight distinct characters, each with their own personal story, from revenge quests to journeys of self‑discovery. The game’s signature HD‑2D art style blends retro 2D sprites with beautifully rendered 3D environments, creating a unique visual identity that helped define the series.
About Octopath Traveler II
Octopath Traveler II introduces a new cast of eight characters and a fresh setting: the vibrant world of Solistia, an era on the brink of industrial transformation.
Players navigate treacherous lands, engage in strategic turn‑based battles, and uncover intertwining narratives that stand independently from the first game. The sequel further enhances the series’ iconic HD‑2D visuals, offering richer environments and refined gameplay systems.
