I didn't complete 2 all the way, so I'll start over on it.
Hope they have a discount bundle to buy 1 and 2 together. I'd do it.

Not until they port OT 1 to PS.
But I guess when it's PlayStation that misses out on a 3P exclusive people pretend the exclusivity doesn't exist huh?
Anyway, congrats to any of the Switch & PlayStation paypigs that funded OctoPath 2 as a Day 1 in Game Pass, I guess.
Don't buy Persona 6 on PS5. Let's see if Xbox players can pick up the B2P sales revenue slack

lol, I forgot that Octo 1 never made it to PS. I bought it on PC when it left Switch exclusivity.Not until they port OT 1 to PS.

The first Octopath has been on Game Pass before, for a year or two. So that would be cool, but it's not anything new. Glad to finally have a date for II.

There wasn't any exclusivity in OT2 case, they just didn't make a port for a platform where it wouldn't sell enough to make it worthwhile.

It got ported to Xbox in 2021. But oddly enough, never to PS.

I'm waiting for triangle strategy on the ps5.

It got announced at TGS last year, it's just delayed a bit out of the original "Early 2024" window.

Honestly, I missed that news.

Yeah, a port of a year old JRPG coming to Xbox? Not exactly a mega-bomb announcement. Cool for me, tho. I'd love to have II on something where it'll be 4K/60fps.

One of my favorite games from last year. So good.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The PS5 version had some pretty major performance issues (which I guess might be moot when the PS5 Pro comes out, but still), so I'm curious if the XSX version will be better in that regard. Would gladly rebuy it if it's an improvement - this was easily my favorite game from last year and probably one of my all-time favorite JRPGs.

Nice to see the sequel come over. I know players that like the first one were miffed that the second didn't get a port.

Temenos is my fav but Partitio's awesome.

Much better than the first imo, couldn't complete that one but played 2 till the end.

Is this game's story connected to the 1st game?

I didn't really enjoy the first one, but I've heard the second is better.

I like them both as characters, but music-wise nothing beats Partitio's guitar/sax combination.

Can't stand the way these games are setup as far as story.

No. Skip 1 and go straight to 2.

Sega gets the money upfront. They don't care if it sells on Xbox or not, once MS does the gamepass deal.Not until they port OT 1 to PS.

1. Not sure what Persona, an Atlus game, has to do with this, a Square Enix game.
2. Xbox was the 4th platform to get an Octopath 1 port, so, you're blowing smoke at the wrong platform here. Tweet at SE and ask why STADIA got a port of the game and not PS4/5

I loved the first one, and I’ve been holding off buying the second just in case this would happen. What great news!

I still have the first one in my backlog. I like it but I’m just playing other games on GPU at the moment that o want to finish up before they leave. Chances are though…. This one will join the first game in my back log.
I reckon I’ve got quite the impressive JRPG selection for an Xbox guy.not as good as PS or ninthendo but still…. I have a respectable selection in my backlog.
I kind of like them. They are relaxing to play. Currently playing no no kuni 2 on GPU as it goes.

I’m Gonna do one better and buy it. It will have left GPU by the time I’m actually ready to play it anyway.

Now if only I can have those FF pixel remasters and possibly FF7 remaster trilogy on my Xbox ( I know… probably never gonna happen) …. I would be pretty happy with square.

Agreed. I’ll pick it up on XBOX. I played the first one in Switch, but I had been holding out for GamePass.
Pretty damn good release for those who love JRPGs. Hopefully the story is a bit deeper than the first one.

I won't be surprised if the pixel remasters come to Xbox within this year. There's very little work required for them and they already have working PC versions, so porting them to GDK would be that much quicker, if need be.

Cool, give me this on plus and I’ll resub. Running out for the first time since ps plus started on June 8th. It’ll be a sad day, but mfers ain’t giving me any reason to resub the last several months after the price increase.
RickMasters

Would be nice. I’d like to have a complete FF collection on my Xbox. Got all the other ones in my backlog.
People like to talk shot about wining a digital games collection but I do like seeing all my FF games lined up. I may not buy games physically anymore but I still buy digitally even with a gamepass sub

I can’t lie if I had a PS and PS plus I’d be messing with some old school ridge racer….. you got OG ( PS1) ridge racer and rage racer on there? Maybe some tekken 1 and 2 for old time sake.

I’m not paying what they want for it through a sub. I can legitimately buy an old PS and the games you mentioned for less than the sub price for a year and have them forever.

The first game came to both console and PC game pass, so this will probably too.

I wonder if I still have any time left on my $1 gamepass conversion. I don't think I've powered on my Series X since 2022.
