It's Unreal 4, so a lot of tweaking should be possible with framerate, resolution, shadows and so forth.

Octopath Traveler coming to Steam on June 7
- Thread starter YuSuzzune
- Start date
The lack of meaningful inter-party dialogue and interaction is a huge and valid point of criticism to be sure, but "absolutely dreadful"? Not quite.
Game deserves to be played by more people. It's not a masterpiece by any means but the music is amazing, art is incredible, combat is addicting if not repetitive... I wish the stories overlapped and interacted with each other more but I think it's a must play.
Causisly optimisc until I can actually preorder it on steam/other key seller. Too bad I wan't be able to transfere my save from the switch so I won't have to start from 0. Thought I should be able to pretty much cheat my way through what I already did, with the help of cheat engine.
As I already said when the rumor poped up I really hope someone mod in the ability to get every Party Banter regardless of the current party composition, shared xp outside of party, and the ability to swap the main character when changing the party composition. Those 3 changes alone would highly improve my experience with the game.

This is some massive hyperbole.
Its not the best JRPG but it is not "absolutely dreadful"
Thx a lot for all the info. I've been eyeing this game since It was announced. However about characters interaction and story connections, i heard they are very minimal, which made me lose interest a bit. Given that there is no main epic story, does the game end after you complete all chapters or is there a final boss to close the game?
Those are 3DS games so yeah.
It might change if they decide to remaster both games though.
Same, but the Switch turned out to be one of my favorite consoles... so there's that at least.
It's S-E, looking at their releases so far OT having Denuvo is inevitable.
The fucking Quiet Man has Denuvo.
UE4.
There will def be mods.
Probably within hours of the game coming out
UE4 and it doesnt seem to be taxing.
60fps is a lowball 144fps should be easy work, easy work.
And you could probably supersample the game to well beyond 4K on any modern GPU.
I really enjoyed the game and I am happy more people get to try it. Be warned that it isn't for everyone though. The turn-based battles are great and take on a new form once you get all the secondary job shrines. The stories are not well connected and are hit/miss, so that can't be seen as a main motivational driver. The music, art style, and the world design are all top notch.
It depends on what you are looking for.

Square Enix's quality control is so fucked. The same company that releases high quality content like Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 and up is coming out with absolute shit like The Quiet Man and Left Alive. It's incomprehensible.
Already had it for Switch since launch but never got around to it.
Will now buy on PC for that beautiful art in 4k.

So... if I did not like the Bravely games, than the possibility is high, that i will not like Octopath Traveler either?
If you haven't played the game already, I'd recommend picking up Cyrus as maybe your second party member. Early on he unlocks a passive ability that reduces the encounter rate significantly. It's possible to make it through entire areas with only one encounter, even while going for chests. At times I found myself having to disable the passive completely so I could grind a bit more aggressively before a boss.
Depends on what you disliked about Bravely, tbh.
I thought Bravely Default was merely alright, but I loved Octopath.
The credits roll after you finish your beginning character's CH4, but there is indeed a short area and challenging superboss to unlock after beating all the final chapters, which ties all the stories' background connections up in a neat bow.
It is unequivocally a game about eight short stories, not one story with a hugely interactive cast. There are lots of banter vignettes where the characters get to know one another (~188 total banters if I did my math right), but they don't participate in each others' story scenes.
They're very different — structurally, tonally, graphically. You may well like Octopath. What specifically didn't you like about Bravely?

As others said, depends what you didn't like about Bravely. If Bravely was inspired by FF, Octopath is closer to Saga in a way.
Combat is better in Bravely, and narration is more focused too, but some might prefer the cast of Octopath and its simpler gameplay.
Oh man, PC folks are in for a treat. And you'll actually be able to play the game at a resolution higher than 720p!
Game is great, the more people to play it the better.
They confirmed they are! I'm pretty sure it'll still run on UE4 and retain the HD-2D aesthetic.

Prepared to be boooored out of your minds with middling stories and quests. But it looks, sounds and plays incredible though.
It's not a direct competitor to consoles (at least in Japan) + getting more money is what all companies want to achieve.
