The GOG Preservation Program is expanding once again, on October 8th both OCTOPATH TRAVELER and OCTOPATH TRAVELER II will arrive on GOG.
I haven’t played the 2nd but I remember the first feeling like eight separate short stories that just so happened to include party mechanics and level grinding.
“I only work alone.”
“Join up with this group of 7 random people?”
“Okay!”
Did you finish the first one? I played through all the characters through either chapter 1 or 2 (can’t remember now) and it immediately turned into a grindfest where I couldn’t progress because everything was suddenly killing me.
Did I miss something or was it specifically designed to be a “grind to progress” type of game?
Nope. That’s pretty much all I remember and my same experience.
¡That’s the best part! (8 times :p)
thanks gog for preserving this retro gem 😅
I’m kind of confused, both games currently support the current platform and were not broken. Is it typical for them to add games to the preservation program like this? I thought it was for games that no longer work on modern systems, or idk preservation. It’s a good thing to be sure, but my reaction is just “what?”.
kugmo@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago Whay does a 64-bit Unreal Engine 4 game need to be on a preservation program at the moment?
If I had to guess, Square Enix is offloading long term support for the games to GOG.

Was thinking the same thing. Been looking for some stuff to load on the Deck for downtime at work. Never got around to these before.

I was excited for the first one, played about 65% of it & it became a chore so I quit. Never played the second, figured it was more of the same.
It’s not really my kind of gameplay but i got it for the visuals alone and the game does look really good. I love the 3D cardboard world artstyle.
