They saw it was called Acquire, and so they did.

Soulspath Travelborne is going to be one hell of a game.

Note that Acquire worked on Tenchu in the past.

How was octopath 2? I never heard any buzz about it after it released. Just as lackluster as the first?

I didn't enjoy the first one, I am enjoying the second one a lot more. It's not perfect, but the stories are generally better and things feel more polished. It's still an old-school JRPG though.

Thanks. I might pick it up if I see it on discount. The first one was a disappointment at full price but it was fun enough for what it was.

I really liked it actually, but I haven't played the first one to be able to compare them.

[-] Daveyborn@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

An improvement on the first in my opinion.

I haven't played the first to really compare them, but as someone who hasn't really been into the old school Squaresoft style RPG for a long time: It's fantastic.
