While Square Enix previously shared a 20-minute gameplay video during the Tokyo Game Show, a new trailer forOctopath Traveler II points the tip of his nose. This time, the video is centered on two of the eight protagonists who will be playable in the title.
So we meet Partitio the merchant and Osvald the scholar. The former can not only buy items from citizens, but also hire them to help him on his journey. He will also be the perfect trader against the different characters encountered. The second when he gets out of prison. He had obviously been found guilty of murdering his wife and daughter. Osvald has acquired the skill of knowing how to scrutinize people to obtain the information he needs about them. He also has a talent for extorting citizens who cross his path and knows how to detect the weaknesses of his enemies during battles.
The video also presents new means of transport available in Octopath Traveler II. It will thus be possible to cross rivers in canoes or board a ship for maritime voyages. Players will even be able to have their own boat to explore undiscovered islands.
