It’s time lose yourself in the lush world of HD-2D all over again \u2014 Octopath Traveler II<\/a> is out today on Switch (and PS4, PS5, and PC of course). Announced only last September, this surprise sequel does everything a follow up should do \u2014 it improves on every single aspect of the original while also staying faithful to it.<\/p>\n

The premise, for instance, is exactly<\/em> the same as the first Octopath Traveler<\/a> \u2014 before you even dive into the world of Solistia, you need to choose your starting character, the character who will lead your party. And just like in the first game, you can’t take out your first character until you’ve completed their entire story. So choose wisely!<\/p>\n

Some of you lovely readers may well have already made the choice and have already started recruiting your seven other companions in the demo that launched a few weeks ago. While others might be agonising whether to kick off your adventure with a powerful warrior in Hikari, an adept at healing in Temenos, or a more unique choice with a variety of skills like Partitio. There’s no wrong answer, and eventually, you’ll be able to equip sub-classes and build your team however you want.<\/p>\n

You can find out more about the cast, including a summary of their story, their skills, and their uses in and out of battle<\/p>\n
