2018’s Octopath Traveler launched a renaissance for role-playing games, kicking off Square Enix’s line of HD-2D titles that now includes three Dragon Quest remakes. Octopath Traveler 0 returns to that first game after seven years as an expansive prequel — but it’s also a sort of remake of a mobile game.
Octopath Traveler 0 is essentially an adaptation or reimagining of the 2020 mobile game, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, using the story and world of that game as a basis. But it doesn’t feel quite fair to call it a remake, as it overhauls nearly everything about its mobile counterpart.
