Octopath Traveler 0 preview: novelty over tradition

The first Octopath Traveler was released in 2018, and marked the first time Square Enix used its HD-2D design aesthetic. Seven years later, and after a series of classic titles remade using the same technology, we now have a new game in the series, Octopath Traveler 0. Although most of its elements come from previous titles, giving it a familiar feel, the few changes are enough to make Octopath Traveler 0 a unique game — for better and for worse.
