    This looks really beautiful, but I’ve been hurt by SquareEnix before

    The “staggered” enemies reminds me of Octopath Traveller. Having an eight person party is a lot like the Octopath mobile game, too. But I do appreciate the pixel art.

    “What if they continued to push the limits of pixel?”

    Yeah they did, it’s called Octopath Traveler! Lol, I am still looking forward to this though.

      They saw the growing success of multiple octopath releases and wanted a cut. But honestly octopath 1 left alot to be desired. Thinking this may scratch that itch for me… No more Pepsi, I’m getting a Coke!

        Octopath is owned by Square Enix as well so idk about that. I am happy they are finally doing this, I’ve been asking for this since before octopath but once i saw octo I just wanted to see it more. Personally I think they should break the series into 2. The main one continuing to do whatever it is they are doing, and then a classic style series like this but completely new stories and just continuing to do the old school way while improving the systems to be more modern. I feel like they would have better luck pushing that these days over a truly new FF sadly.

      No kidding. This literally looks like a new Octopath Traveler game but instead they slapped the FF brand sticker on it.

      I’m not against that, but call a spade a spade. This is not new or innovative like they’re making it out to be.

        “Heroes resonate across worlds”

        This plot point has been done about a billion times now too

        Brave Exvius started in 2015 and Octopath was 2019. This is just a new iteration, dumping the gacha part and adding a full traversable open world map.

          Well how about that. And yet they’ll still try to charge $90 for it, I bet.

          EDIT: I stand pleasantly corrected

        Octopath is not just its HD-2D art style, as its core (at least for octopath 1 and 2) are the 8 independant stories, main characters and basic jobs.

    Interesting this is going to be on steam and other platforms. Must have been in the works before all the other management screwups.
