Who's Ready for Octopath Tactics?

dred · Jul 13, 2018

I realize this thread is quite premature considering Octopath Traveler's launch date of... today... but regardless, ever since I saw the first trailer for OT I've been thinking about how wonderful it would be to see a Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Ogre style game in the Octopath Traveler engine and universe. The stage seems set to me - engine is already in place, Switch is very successful, OT universe is rich with characters, and series' like Fire Emblem have shown the viability of SRPG's in modern times. I'm not sure if Square Enix has the talent in place to pull off a game like this but I sure would love to see them try. The Switch seems like the ideal SRPG platform to me and I'm hoping a large publisher other than Nintendo takes a stab at the genre.

Anyone else get excited daydreaming about this possibility?

Xavi · Jul 13, 2018

I thought this was about party and job combinations lol, but yes, a SRPG game with the same engine would be awesome.

Shepherd · Jul 13, 2018

I'm down for anything team octopath do at this point. Game is amazing.

Cloud-Hidden · Jul 13, 2018

Holy shit, why did you plant this idea into my head?!

Deleted member 36578 · Jul 13, 2018

I'm in . About 5 hours into Octopath but I'm in haha

Deleted member 249 · Jul 13, 2018

Jesus Christ, now I want this.

Yes, this lol

srtrestre · Jul 13, 2018

I will will this game into existence, just watch.

HeRinger · Jul 13, 2018

I'm ready for Octopath Tactics with Matsuno as the lead writer and Alexander O. Smith as the translator.

Indelible · Jul 13, 2018

I would be all over this, the artstyle would would make a great SRPG.

jack_package_200 · Jul 13, 2018

I want this

ghostcrew · Jul 13, 2018

Fully in, I want this. I will never say no to SRPG and with that art style...

Deleted member 11413 · Jul 13, 2018

I would take any new SRPG series from SE to be honest. Pretty ridiculous how they didnt release anything in the genre on 3DS or Vita.

Black Knight · Jul 13, 2018

I will be happy to get a game like that, in fact I want it now! We are getting only few Japanese SRPG's recently, personally I prefer the SRPG in the old school Japanese style, that's why Fire Emblem is my favourite SRPG series.

TinTuba47 · Jul 13, 2018

Sure, let's go

Wolfgunblood · Jul 13, 2018

I refuse to acknowledge the word octopath any further.

Jager · Jul 13, 2018

Yes please!

Totakeke · Jul 13, 2018

Then it turns out to be eight different parties with eight different stories without a central plot tying everything throughout the game, and people lose their minds.

Yup, sounds exactly what I want.

Sestenes · Jul 13, 2018

Any official followup to FFT or FFTA would be greatly welcome.

Let's hope that Octopath proves to Square that there is solid demand for quality retro.

MrPhiliasfrog · Jul 13, 2018

It's one of the first thing I thought after seeing the reveal trailer of the game.

chainlinkspiral · Jul 13, 2018

Can't unwant this idear, now. Thanks.

Bumrush · Jul 13, 2018

Yes. Wow. Why didn't I think of this yet?

mjc · Jul 13, 2018

I'm always open to it.

Redcrayon · Jul 13, 2018

SRPG with an 8-unit force on an octagonal grid. Sounds awesome.

Maxximus · Jul 13, 2018

I'm impatiently waiting for Fire Emblem Three Houses to scratch this itch.

Deleted member 2145 · Jul 13, 2018

Octotact

Ravelle · Jul 13, 2018

I would be fine with a Final Fantasy Tactics port to the switch, since I never owned a PSP or Vita I never got to play it.

Azriell · Jul 13, 2018

Thats a surprisingly good fit. I would play that

Servbot24 · Jul 13, 2018

Honestly I would be way more into that than the game we got (which I haven't played yet).

You can play it on your phone/tablet.

Raven117 · Jul 13, 2018

The Map along with the art absolutely gave me FF Tactics vibes.

Thatguy · Jul 13, 2018

We just need more and better tactics games so sure why not?

Firebrand · Jul 13, 2018

FFT already looks better than OT :P But otherwise, sure, love myself some SRPGs.

Oh, I wasn't aware it was released on mobile, how does it play?

Vicious17 · Jul 13, 2018

just want a good tactics game. I don't care who its by.

Andri · Jul 13, 2018

Im already permanently sad that there is no FFTA games coming out anymore, why did you make me sadder by suggesting something so nice ?

ReyVGM · Jul 13, 2018

Everybody wants some old game in the Octopath engine.

Final Fantasy 6 remake, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and more.

Unfortunately, the devs aren't interested in doing remakes. Hopefully some other team will pick up the slack, though. If enough people ask, someone has to listen, right?

silby · Jul 13, 2018

I will accept Octopath Tactics, Xenoblade Tactics, or Splatoon Tactics.

It's an excellent port that looks beautiful on modern devices. I highly recommend it.

Ravelle · Jul 13, 2018

Elven_Star said:

That looks pretty good, might check that out soon!

Dreamboum · Jul 13, 2018

Sure, and it should have Matsuno. Ito should take care of the battle system. The setting has to be Ivalice too. We'll also call it Final Fantasy Tactics 2 whole we're at it

Deleted member 16365 · Jul 13, 2018

I was all in an crazy excited about it until I learned that it's just 8 stories that have little to do with each other, and that all the work you do in order to get the characters together doesn't matter outside of battle. I might grab this on sale at some point, but I cancelled my preorder yesterday.

Sumio Mondo · Jul 13, 2018

Get Matsuno to write the game and help design the game and we're on to a winning idea.

JustJavi · Jul 13, 2018

I'm just a few hours into the game, but yes!!!

Glio · Jul 13, 2018

It would be a dream come true

francium87 · Jul 13, 2018

Actually tried to cancel my preorder from bestbuy (nothing against the game, just that I have other things to play at the moment, and there weren't any preorder discounts anyways), but was it had already shipped. So I guess I'm ready!

Piscus · Jul 13, 2018

I'm not ready yet. I haven't even started Octopath Traveler yet.

Deleted member 25721 · Jul 13, 2018

I am. Right now. In my veins.

Only if Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata compose the ost.

Diarrhea Day-Lewis · Jul 13, 2018

I'd be 100% down. Octopath's art and look is perfect for a FF Tactics type game

Disclaimer · Jul 13, 2018

Ugh, can we not linger on the thought of another SRPG from SE or Matsuno?

I've lost all hope.
