Nice adds, wow.

You would’ve thought this would be a nice Xbox Showcase shadow drop on Sunday rather than on a random Wednesday though

Yeah, very unusual to drop it at this random time. I thought this would be in the showcase as well.

They also dropped Octo 1 on PS4 at the same time. Must be morning in Japan :p

I am convinced that this violates my rights
Playstation gamers cannot be treated as second class consumers
Imagine, I pay $70 to anyone who subscribed to GamePass 10 months ago to play Cod for free, not for free, we who play on PS5 will be paying for it.
Ideally, we, Playstation players, should avoid this game until some promotion is made, If MS decided to put COD on the gamepass, it should take the money out of its own pocket.

Very cool to see this make it over to the platform. By all accounts this one seems vastly superior to the original.

For all the negative xbox news as of late - there sure are alot Japanese of games releasing like SMTV, Front Mission 2, Raiden Mikados, Ni No Kunis, the Cotton games, Irem shmups, Assault Suit Leynos 2 - to name a couple im interested in.
I wonder if SMT Nocturne has a shot of releasing?

If Xbox has to buy Japan, just to get their games on game pass, I’m all for it.

$59.99 seems like a high price to charge for a year+ later port. But it's Square Enix so whaddaya fuckin' expect.

Square is that one dude on the team who goes into ranked but refuses to use a mic.
In a game with no text chat.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Are there any useful details out there on the particulars for this port? Wondering if the PS5 version runs at 4K for example. I bought the game on Xbox a little while back (because of course, I thought they wouldn't port it to Playstation if they hadn't already), but I'd be willing to rebuy for that.

I tried this game a year ago and I have no idea why it's popular. What am I missing?

And I love JRPGs but the intro was rough.

It's not for everyone but I'd give it more time.

There aren't many turn based rpgs aside from pokemon coming out these days. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Just the character select screen is awesome on part 2 before you even start. Can select day or night for new artwork and music.

I guess it coincides with XBOX getting (digital only as well) Octopath Traveler II today (which actually shadow dropped on Game Pass). Both platforms now have both games.

I want part 1 on PS5 but I'm not gonna pay more than 15 for it, it's an old game and digital only so I'll just wait, plenty to play in the meantime.

Didn't the first one sell more than the second one?
