    Damn square rly went in and sponsored a bunch of these gaming tubers. Cool! Octopath is an incredible franchise that deserves the attention!

    Really hope this series continues!
    I feel like there aren’t enough Octopath 2 play throughs to watch, and it’s such an incredibly well written game

    The repeated song is called "Determination." and if you search youtube for "Determination, octopath, break" You'll find a stupidly good rendition of it from the Break and Boost remix album.

    • @koriankimchi
      @koriankimchi Рік тому

      Just to chime in: Determination is the title of this tune in Octopath 1. There’s a new arrangement for this tune in the soundtrack for this game called “Unshakable Resolve”. I got goosebumps when it played for the first time in this game after recognizing the melody.
      Hard agree on the Break arrangement though 👍🏼 that whole album is fantastic

    I’m so glad you got to play this game Sarah! I’m working on each character and advancing through the stories (kind of on chapter 3s mainly for characters atm) and it’s one of my new favorites. I’d be super happy to see more of your octopath journey if you decide to share it here on UA-cam as well!

    Imagine Kingdom Hearts remade in this art style though. This game is so beautiful and i’m glad Square sponsored you to play this so more people, like me, who may not have heard about the game, can discover its brilliance. Hope you are well and thank you for being here. Always so glad to vibe to your videos/personality 🌸

      Too bad, they didn't make a demo of final fantasy 7 remake in this style.

  • @AceCorban
    @AceCorban Рік тому +1

    I made a system for my company and named it "Hikari", named after the Kingdom Hearts theme "Simple and Clean" in Japanese. I named it that because it was an iteration of something else I work on that has become complicated and hard to work with, Hikari was much more steamlined. So my first pick was pretty obvious.

  • @sharonvirginia6041

  • @Talsbynians
    @Talsbynians Рік тому +10

    Hikari’s opening chapter is hands down the best writing that the Octopath series has offered. Genuinely blew me away and as long as his following chapters are even half as good I’d be satisfied. I’d be so down to see more Octopath Traveler 2

    while ohcette wasn't my protagonsit (that would be castti whos my fave) ochette was the first person i recruited for my party and i was SO HAPPY WITH MY CHOICE. She's great, her ability is fun and unique and, most all, i think she has one ofthe best openings in terms of like theatrics, seeing ehr chasing the monster before a seamless transition into her tutorial fight.
    so yeah I support picking her c:
    (my four faves are castti, ochette, hikari and partitio, in that order)

    Also as soon as I get my switch repaired I'm continuing triangle strategy, I adore that game but I was forced to make a choice I don't have the strength to make because the concequences of your choices are fucking gutwrenching in this game so I stopped...
