Who is getting Octopath Traveler? (poll)

Day 1.

Get travellers edition brah.

Liked the demo! Just not a huge fan of the genre- but do prefer turn based much more to action.

The art was outstanding though. The voice acting was dumb, hoping for the option to turn that off.

I will likely wait for a cheap entry- problem is I'm satisfied with Stardew Valley, Rocket League, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe right now. And later this year I'll choose Donkey Kong, Captain Toad, Smash, and Pokemon over Octopath.

It's definitely piqued my interest, even though I don't own a Switch. Looks cool.

Probably. I liked the demo a lot. But I have some skepticism about how it will grow and open up as it progresses. I'll wait, as I always do, for the release and revisit the idea

Your backlog is ridic, so i am not surprised.

This is my most anticipated Switch game of the year. I love the art style. I typically don't like JRPGs, but this game brings me back to the 90s when JRPGs weren't hot garbage designed to sexually arouse weebs.

If it releases for PC and is 20 bucks, maybe down the road. otherwise no interest.

I hope the story has depth. The gameplay looks great

Day 1. The art-style is amazing, loved the demo and put in lots of hours. I'd like to reward them for their hard work and hopefully a great game.

I’ll be getting it. I really enjoyed Bravely Default and I really like the look of this game.

looks good, maybe

Mehh, it hasn't caught my interest.

No, probably not. It looks really cool, but there's too much reading. Japanese JRPGs always have really bad stories, and I don't want that to take up so much of my time.

I LOVE the demo so I’ll be picking it up

Yeah this is going to be great. And the Travelers Edition looks like a rare case of an actually interesting looking CE. So I miiiight even go for that. But I'm already buying a new bike this week.... which is costing me almost all my savings so. We'll see.

The demo was awesome. Day one buy. One of my most anticipated 2018 games.

BD was amazing.

@Litchie: i don't really recall reading anything but 1-2 liners. I think cRPGs have desensitized me

It looks solid :D

I had the game pre-ordered after the demo and have canceled it ... to pre-order the collectors edition ;D This is probably going to be one of the best JRPGs this gen.

*high five*. From amazon or gamestop?

I'd like to play this game. I'll be waiting.

Here in Switzerland Amazon isn't really a thing and Gamespot is tiny. Preordered it from one of the two biggest player in my country

Gotcha, did it sell out already?

Me for sure....

Exactly what the switch needs, a slow paced turn based rpg. Believe it or not turn based is totally lacking from the Switch. Good for watching some tube while gaming.

Too many fast paced action games on the system... not favorable for the portable option.

Turn based would not be missing if they gave me my VC games back tho!!

I probably will. I've been waiting for a solid release date on this game, cos i'm hyped.

Nope. Here CEs rarely sell out. You can usually even get them on launch.

Well, we do have Disgaea 5 which alone offers 100s of turn based fun. Then there's Mario and Rabbids, Worms, Steamworld: Heist, Mercenaries, Tiny Metal and some others. Come to think about it, we actually have a lot of good turn based games for a system that's one year old.

My body is ready :)

Demo was awesome... Love the return to Snes style jrpgs... Will most likely get it soon after launch. I tend to not buy a ton of games at launch anymore as it doesn't prove to work out well for the gamer.

I'm doing the same now. I usually wait awhile if it's not a huge franchise I like. I tend to get Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem on launch days and anything Bravely default related.

@n64dd: mass effect andromeda was the nail in the coffin for me. Once that pile of crap released I was like, never again... Admittedly however I did buy odyssey day 1 and Bayonetta and 2 preloaded but that was because I knew Bayonetta already had a successful pedigree... And mario... Well? It's Mario. And it was pretty killer

Agreed. Some games are too risky though.

I've played octopath, and it felt just like bravely default did to me, and that made me a happy camper.

@n64dd: there's a place for all types of games... Theres an audience too... Final Fantasy 4 is my all time favorite jrpg... This reminded me so much of that... Now, beyond the demo....??

I'd like the story to hold up...

I'd like for systems to have depth and also still be approachable... Is that asking too much? Haha.

I'd like for it to feel like an adventure, not filler... Not boring overused tropes... Gameplay focused should be number 1 tho.

Yeah i'm interested to see how different each character is, or how the drastic the story changes.

back up on amazon, don't know how long for!

Day one for me, really liked the demo. Just the standard edition though, the Traveler's Edition looks cool but I have no real need for that stuff.

Absolutely.

I

The game looks terrible.

Undecided - the Lost Sphear fizzle put me off JRPGS temporarily.

For sure! :D

Always been a fan of old school like JRPGs. This game definitely has the potential to be one of the interesting ones based on what I played of the demo.

Would of gotten it most definitely if it was on PS4 on PC.

Day 1 for me.. like the darker story...at least from the demo..hope they don't change it. :P

Yeah, I hope they just expand on what they have.

Looks awesome but I have other games I'm playing at the moment. Maybe if they announce a PC version later on down the road.

I think Nintendo Exclusive.
