In particular it's baffling that a game whose selling point is having eight main characters doesn't have a better way of integrating the characters you're not using - not only do you have to go back to an inn to switch, but they don't earn any XP, forcing you to grind them all up separately (and you need to use every character to reach the ending, so you're actually forced to do this.) It's weird when so many games have solved the problems of what to do with extra characters in various ways.Īlso, the fact that everyone's plotline is totally separate feels a bit awkward at times. It has good writing and decent gameplay, but sometimes its retro design is frustrating. It's a decent game but it doesn't improve much on Octopath Traveler 1 - if you liked that game, this is basically more chapters of that, nothing more and nothing less. The ramifications of this is that the system data also stores images for the save slots.Įdit: here's my original save transfer postĮdit 2: I wonder if this leaked version is the Japanese version and that's why the demo saves don't work out of the box.I wouldn't say best of all time. You don't need to bring across the system data, just the save slot data. Thus if you have A and B swapped on the PC version, the switch version will also swap A and B. More importantly, you'll need to be careful with porting the system data across because the PC version lets you set button remaps and those get picked up by the switch version. One key note about this: if you pull saves from the PC version, they will work as well but you will need to rename the files to MJ*. This doesn't seem to automatically pick up the demo saves.
