What is Octopath Traveler 0?
Octopath Traveler 0 is a command-based RPG that serves as a new entry in the Octopath Traveler series. The game begins in the town of Wishvale during the annual Day of Reverence, a local festival meant to honor the blue flame that symbolizes the towns protection. Before the ceremony can begin, the settlement is attacked and consumed by red flames. This incident acts as the catalyst for the players journey. The narrative centers on the player-created protagonist, who must decide whether to pursue a path focused on revenge or one committed to rebuilding and restoration. This choice sets the foundation for how the adventure unfolds and how the world reacts to the heros actions.
The game incorporates returning and new systems that shape progression and exploration. The Break and Boost system features once again, offering a structured and strategic battle format built around exploiting enemy weaknesses and timing boosts for maximum effect. Players can form an eight-character party drawn from more than thirty available travelers, each with distinct roles and abilities. Octopath Traveler 0 also introduces town-building for the first time in the series. Wishvale can be rebuilt over the course of the game, and players may invite companions and encountered NPCs to settle there. Character creation is also fully customizable for the first time, including appearance, voice, hairstyle, hair color, preferred food, and starting skills. The focus of the game is on constructing a personal journey that branches based on player decisions and the travelers they choose to accompany them.
