Solistia is a land of 2 continents, east and west, split by the sea. It’s a bustling era, where big vessels work busy trade routes and the power of steam is giving rise to new technology. Some folk cheer the glamorous stars of stage and industry, while others are left in tears by war, plague and poverty. Into all this walk 8 travellers from different corners of the map, each setting out for reasons of their own. Octopath Traveler II lets you pick whichever 1 you fancy first, then follow their story at your own pace, using Path Actions to recruit townspeople, gather items and open up routes others can’t take. Day turns to night as you sail, and the world changes with it.
