I always thought Octopath Traveler was expensive for $60. After all it's just a 2D alphamap game. I only bought it, in the hopes that SE would create more exclusive throwback RPGs for Switch. I feel betrayed. Either launch the damned game day and date on Steam, or don't bother lying to us telling us that it's "exclusive". Had they done what Valkyria Chronicles 4 did, I'd be fine. I love Sega for releasing that game on everything. It's up front, and honest. Meanwhile Square says exclusive when they don't really mean it, and neglects to print enough physical copies to satisfy the market.

Please just make Octopath Traveler 2, and release it day and date for everything at $50. That's all I ask.

I'm talking about the original version being $60, when it should have launched at $40. Waiting for Octopath to go on sale on Switch would have been a bad idea for several reasons. Square didn't print enough physical copies, so the game would have become hard to find after a while. Switch has limited storage, so physical was a must buy. Nintendo games tend not to ever go on sale, even if they aren't published by Nintendo. 

But yeah, if I feel like a game is overpriced I wait for it to go on sale usually. I should have done that with Octopath. I'm really just angry that Square wasn't up front about it coming to Steam, because had I known that, I would have waited until early 2020 and got it for $30 on Steam. 

At least now, people have the choice of on the go and a steep price, or cheaper price and not on the go.

Liked the visuals of the game, but never did did it's TB style combat.

I'm happy that more people will get to experience this, a really great game. Hopefully this drums up more interest in its prequel and sequel.

Must admit I am not, though at least it is just Steam. Still better than being on the PS4 and Xbox1, the latter is particularly a stupid idea. 

Meh, I got 95 h of gaming time out of Octopath Traveler. $60 for that amount of game time is fair.

Download size less than 2 GB, install size less than 3 GB... not really a game where "physical is a must buy."

Great, another Steam exclusive, as if the PC market isn't divided enough already.

I want to play this it's likely come to Ps4 soon

Good game, people should pick it up. I got it for free but I'd definitely have paid full price for it.
