Octopath Traveler

 
Octopath Traveler has been delisted from the Nintendo eShop, but you probably don't need to worryMar 3, 2024 - VG247Square Enix's debut HD-2D title Octopath Traveler appears to have been delisted from the Nintendo eShop, but there's probably nothing to worry about. Earlier this week, it was spotted that Octopath Traveler, the RPG that originally released in 2018 and introduced Square Enix's HD-2D style of graphics, had been removed from the Nintendo eShop. There was no formal announcement about its removal from storefront, so it obviously came as a bit of a surprise to some - the game is available on other digital shops like Steam still, so it's not like the game would be completely inaccessible. As pointed out by Gematsu, though, since at least December 2023, Square Enix has been listed as the game's publisher, where previously Nintendo was the publisher for the international release. This might suggest that the game has only been temporarily delisted while some behind the scenes changes are being made. Without an official comment from Square Enix, there's no real way to know why the game is no longer available on the Switch eShop, though the game is still technically available digitally - you just have to buy a code for it from My Nintendo Store as opposed to the eShop.

Purchase hereDragon Ball FighterZ and Octopath Traveler are among Xbox Game Pass leaversFeb 15, 2023 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunMarch is fast approaching, which means we’ll need to say goodbye to another batch of Game Pass games very soon. This month’s list of leavers includes a few heavy hitters, like the horrifying Alien Isolation, and a duo of big JRPGs that are likely impossible to binge in just two weeks. Read more Square Enix announces Bravely Default 2 sells a millionDec 21, 2021 - VG247RPG Site reports that Square Enix announced via its website that Bravely Default 2 has surpassed one million units sold across all platforms. We already knew that the game sold 950,000 on the Switch alone, but its recent Steam release has pushed the game past the million milestone, an impressive number for a genre that many underestimate the popularity of. To commemorate this achievement, Square Enix is having a sale in Japan as well as a contest open to Japanese residents where they can win a gift card or an art print by artist Naoki Ikushima. The illustration features the four main characters above a stylized million number and the word “Thanks!” It’s a bit of a tradition for a celebratory illustration to commemorate a Square Enix JRPG’s success, and it’s cool that a fan will get to have it now too. JRPGs are having something of a renaissance on the Switch. Bravely Default 2 is thriving, but it also features a slew of JRPG hits like Shin Megami Tensei 5, Octopath Traveler, and ports of beloved games like Tales of Vesperia. It makes sense given the console’s portable nature and the genre has always thrived in that environment. The future is indeed bright for the continued health of the RPG.

This week, however, is not one of those weeks. Confirming the raft of upcoming games headed to the service today, Microsoft has snuck in one more title worthy of mention: Square Enix role-player Octopath Traveller. Previously available on PC and Nintendo Switch, it'll jump onto Xbox Game Pass for PC and consoles on 25th March. It's been an extraordinarily busy few days of Xbox Game Pass news, with some eye-opening additions announced. To recap, the promising Outriders will launch via Xbox Game Pass on day one after a positive response to its demo. Cult favourite Undertale hits Game Pass as it finally arrives on Xbox today, 16th March many years after its debut elsewhere.

This time, it’s Bandai Namco, who have just uploaded every single Tekken soundtrack onto Spotify because, well, apparently everyone loves Tekken. I’ve never partaken in a Tekken, but with track names like “Massive Stunner” and “Lonesome City Jazz Party 1st”, I’m already 100% convinced the music must be great. However, given my rather lacking expertise in all things Tekken-related, I thought that instead of doing a big Tekken musical breakdown like I did for Capcom and all the Final Fantasy games, I’d take this opportunity to celebrate some of the other great gaming soundtracks you can currently listen to for free right now, because boy howdy are there loads of ’em. So bang on those headphones and turn up the volume, folks. It’s head-banging time.

One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… I’ve heard of love at first sight, but does it really count when all you’ve done is speak two or three terse lines of dialogue at someone? Uncanny Valley seems to think so, because that was all it took to make spooky apartment building owner Eve fall in love with new boy security guard (and player character) Tom. She even sent a letter inviting him to a late-night rendezvous in the rec room one evening, but goddamn it I have a job to do, and my lazy pal Buck would have busted my ass if I didn’t show up for work on time. And to be honest, I’d rather she hadn’t fallen in love with me, because then I’d still be in possession of both my arms and legs.

Square Enix are about to tell us about what they’re up to, and we’ve both reported to our liveblogging stations for the very last time. Both Cheerer and Jeerer have one more opportunity to don their respective masks of love and loathing, but who will take up each mantle? Actually, forget I asked. Jetlag has snuck up on us both and filled our hearts with jeer, but I’m the one writing this intro so I get to bagsy it. Plus it’s my turn anyway. Nuh-nuh.
