Octopath Traveler

Octopath Traveler is a turn-based RPG that established Square Enix's distinctive HD-2D visual style, blending retro aesthetics with modern graphics. The game features eight protagonists with separate storylines that interweave across the world of Orsterra, each with their own class and the ability to adopt sub-jobs for expanded combat flexibility.

The series continues to expand across platforms, with both the original game and its sequel arriving on Switch 2 in October, though notably without upgrade paths for existing Switch owners. Beyond platform releases, the franchise has become notable enough to warrant merchandise celebrating its characters, while community discussion remains active around optimal character builds and sub-job combinations.
