As an avid Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent player, I am thrilled with this news about OT0. In a separate video from the producer, they said there will be thirty-ish characters and the line up of characters at the end shows mobile game favorites like Bargello. His party in the mobile game’s story is my favorite.
More notes from the video: that huge lineup of characters also had battle UI on the right side. That’s exciting!
The battles were eight characters like the mobile game, but the characters seem to still use multiple weapons like in the console games.
The town-building in Zero feels very different compared to the town-building in the mobile game. Zero seems to indicate it is a co-equal part of the game where on the phone it’s just a side story.
I heard it has something to do with the mobile game, any ideas?
The three villains from the mobile game are interacting in the zero trailer. On the phone, each villain was its own story path (labeled power, wealth, and fame). Generally, I would complete one chapter of each before moving to chapter two, then three, etc.
After defeating the three villains’ stories, there was another larger story that tied it all together. After that, there were three OTHER stories that served as villain origin stories (sort of). Finally, those origin stories had a coming together (that I still have not completed after three years of play!).
The reason I like Champions of the Continent is because the stories tie you to the world in a way that the original game didn’t. As a prequel, it shows the OT OGs wandering the world in a satisfying way equal to or greater than its console counterpart. Currently, it’s doing that for the second game, too. Meeting Agnea (from OT2) on the phone was much more satisfying than stepping into her shoes on Switch. Sometimes characters have motivations that are acceptable for an NPC but not for me, you know?
So, this takes story of mobile games and add some more content.
