Octopath Traveler 0 reviews seem strong. I'll say I didn't think "prequel based on a gacha game" would have the juice

Make a note: Octopath Traveler 0 launches in 3 days!

Let's enjoy a peaceful slice of life with Laurana, Ophilia, and the player protagonist as Clerics.

This was illustrated by Square Enix artist Akihiro Takamatsu.

WE FINALLY BOARDED CHAT
Been @ O’Hare since 7am and have dealt w/ 10+ gate changes (no joke) + an 8-hour (+counting!) delay 😩

PS Portal literally SAVING the day—I spent HOURS grinding + better strategizing my team and have officially beat OT2’s epilogue + rolled credits

Now back to waiting for that flight… 🙃💀

Wrapped up the main story + started the epilogue (died at the final boss b/c of a unique move that made me gasp 🫣 iykyk)

Square Enix listened + delivered—I thought I loved OT1, but OT2 is everything OT1 was AND MORE

All I have left to say is…

🗣️ PLAY OCTOPATH TRAVELER 1 + 2 🗣️

About to tour historic Wrigley Field 🐻

One of the best parts of the Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade was the Dude Wipes ‘Mini Pooper’ cars 💩

Hello beautiful people 👋🏼

While my mom is thankfully home from the hospital, her battle is just beginning. She will soon start chemotherapy & weekly Dr visits that will require me to be her full time caregiver. I know times are tough, but anything at all helps us 🫂

I love you guys

Boarded the plane only to then have to immediately deboard d/t weather and low visibility

Unclear at this time if the flight will be only slightly (or moderately) delayed or if it will be full-on cancelled as the Midwest continues to get ROCKED by snow/rain/wind
Next stop: Chicago

Also—I’m SO happy w/ the most recent update for the PS Portal that’s allowing me to stream my digital library *flawlessly* on the airport wifi 😎

Today was my last day of work before I leave for Chicago for the holidays

As I wrapped up my last session of the day, my patient handed me a watercolor painting

“A small gift for you and your giving heart—I hope this helps you remember me because I will never forget you”

Purchased a 3D Christmas-themed portrait cat scratcher and Tuna said, “Mona Lisa who? I’ve never heard of her 💅”

*This was advertised on the box as The Starry Night w/ Santa + his reindeer flying through van Goh’s masterpiece, but who’s bitter about the false advertising? Not me………..😅

Finished 4/8 main stories + 1/4 crossed path stories

The gameplay loop coupled w/ the battle system + path actions make this game (and series!) an absolute treat to play

But for me, the improvements in character arcs have made this world feel so much more alive, natural, and interconnected

If you see this, QTP with the game you’re currently playing 🎮

Finished 2/8 stories so far 🫡

Square Enix took what they started in OT1 and improved in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE

Now I’m left in a pickle—I can’t wait to see how the remaining stories wrap up, but I’m also savoring every moment b/c this game (and series in general) is seriously special

Probably needed a hug during my childhood, but instead I went into healthcare and made it my mission to help people recover + regain their independence
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?
