　　Now Playing: Octopath Traveler - Mobile Game Trailer (Japanese)

　　Octopath Traveler: Conquerors of the Continent is expected to launch for iOS and Android in Japan in 2019 and is free-to-play. Square Enix has not yet confirmed how it will monetize the game.

　　The visual style of Octopath was a big point of discussion, and praise, when it was released. The aesthetic was unique enough for Square Enix to trademark the term "HD-2D," indicating it would be utilized in the future.

　　In his Octopath Traveler review, Peter Brown said the game "thrives on its character progression and the temptations of high-level challenges and rewards. The promise of new jobs, exciting boss fights, and powerful gear will inspire you to poke around every corner, and there are no shortage of discoveries to strive for.

　　"And all the while, you're treated to one of the most interesting and effective re-imaginings of a retro aesthetic around. Octopath will likely be a divisive game due to its fractured storytelling, but it's one worth playing despite its lesser qualities. Its high points are simply too good to ignore."
