About the Game
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II is a single-player HD-2D RPG where you pick one of eight travelers and shape your own path.
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II is a role-playing game set in Solistia, a world divided by a sea into eastern and western continents. The era has opened sea routes, large ships crowd the ocean, and steam technology is spreading fast, so industry and culture thrive while war, disease and famine still weigh on people. You begin as one of eight travelers, each born in a different place, with different reasons for travelling and a special skill of their own, and you choose which one to follow.
The heart of the game is the map command each protagonist brings with them. Using these unique actions, you can travel alongside townspeople, enter battles, and gather items, and the choice of where to go and what to do is yours. Between those moments you shape your party through the job and skill combinations that remain part of this sequel, letting you build each character the way you want to play.
Combat rewards careful planning with break and boost mechanics, which the store page describes as a satisfying way to outwit enemies. The visuals use HD-2D, which blends pixel-art characters with 3DCG environments, giving the world a distinctive look that the store page calls a further evolution of the approach. The developers are Square Enix and ACQUIRE Corp., and the store description also hints at new systems that it only teases for now.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
RPG fans who enjoy building characters through jobs and skills will likely appreciate the depth on offer. Players who like deciding for themselves where to go and what to do will find the map command system a good fit for their style. Anyone who wants Traditional Chinese or English with full audio support will also find the language options a strong match.
Not Recommended For
Players who want fast, reflex-driven action will not find it here, since the game is explicitly playable without needing quick reactions. If you want a tightly scripted story rather than open choices about where to go, this may not suit your taste. Buyers who want it cheaper than the current full price should consider waiting, as explained in the price section.
What the Steam Reviews Say
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II holds a Very Positive rating on Steam, which is 極度好評 on the Taiwan store, with 93% of reviews positive. That rating comes from tens of thousands of reviews, a volume large enough that the percentage is a meaningful signal rather than the result of a handful of early opinions.
On Steam, the Very Positive label generally means the large majority of players who reviewed the game recommend it, and at this volume that points to broad appeal among its audience. Keep in mind that the label reflects the overall mix of opinions rather than whether the game suits your personal taste, so reading a few recent reviews on the Steam page still helps.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. OCTOPATH TRAVELER II currently sells for NT$1190, which is also its regular price, so it is not on a tracked discount right now. The lowest paid price we have recorded is NT$476, set on 2026-07-30, and the deepest discount in our records is 60%.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. Even so, the game has been discounted often in what we have logged, and the latest price is not our recorded low, which means a dip below the full price has happened before.
The game has never been free to keep in our records, so a free claim is not something to count on. If you want it at the cheapest price, wishlisting and waiting for a sale is the sensible path; if you are keen to play now, weigh the full NT$1190 against your budget.
