When, for example, characters from an earlier chapter appear to cheer on Agnea at her big dance, the absence of any of her traveling companions feels stark.
The sprites are also worth highlighting here, with incredible expressivity packed into the tiny figures: mannerisms, gestures, even actions like smoking all add up quickly.īut while the liveliness of the side cast is fantastic, it only further exacerbates the isolation of the main crew from one another. Unlike the travel banter, their short time on screen is put to good use building histories and personalities for the protagonists. Every one of the eight narratives weaves in side characters so skillfully that their relationships with the respective protagonists feel like the core of the game. The same separation apparently existed in the original Octopath Traveler (which I haven’t played), and I wonder whether it, too, felt so at odds with the story the wider game was telling. In fact, these feel more jarring than having everybody disappear, because they neither develop nor showcase any believable connections. Neither do the occasional, shallow side stories that see characters’ paths cross. The occasional prompt to see “travel banter,” wherein two characters suddenly stand in a foggy nowhere world overlaid on their previous position and awkwardly chat as if they’ve just recently met, does nothing to alleviate this problem. Note that it is not possible to transfer PS5 game data to the PS4.Image: Acquire, Square Enix/Square Enix via Polygon You will also need to connect both your PS4 and PS5 to the same network via Wi-Fi or LAN cables.
This is only possible if both devices are using the same account and both are updated to the latest system software versions. Data transfer from the PS4 to the PS5 is supported.Īn exception to this is the PS4 which supports the transfer of game data to the PS5.
This means that your progress in the game when playing on a console or on a PC cannot be migrated to another device.īecause of this, decide carefully if you want to play Octopath Traveler 2 on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, or Nintendo Switch (if you own more than one of the supported platforms) before starting a New Game. Octopath Traveler 2 does not feature any cross-save feature that allows you to transfer game data between different platforms.
