PlayStation’s recent State of Play Japan brought the usual selection of previews and teasers for upcoming games. One among them, Octopath Traveler 0, suffered from being heralded as a “beloved series,” raising some hopes that were quickly dashed. The game’s producer has spoken out on the incident, hoping players will still check out the JRPG.
“Honored to see Octopath Traveler 0 introduced as a ‘beloved series’ at State of Play,” Hirohito Suzuki, producer on the Octopath Traveler games, said on Twitter. "It may not match everyone’s expectations, but it was made with love." He then implores everyone to "please give the demo a try," if they’re curious about why the Octopath games are so well regarded.
