"It is twice as expensive as 'Isaac's Combination'!"
"That is, what is the product of the pixel style? How can you sell it so expensive!"
"But I am more interested in how this pixel game costs so much. Check the official registration of the game with a cost of 10 million!"
"Isn't it? Spend tens of millions to make pixel games?"
"Is it the only thing I have noticed? The BGM in the promotional video sounds so good as it is Miracle Entertainment Emmerson Waltz who is in charge of the music part!"
"It feels that the graphics of the game are also great! The snow scene and the light and shadow of the desert are very good!"
Many players have been talking about this price.
Many people in the game industry have also been paying attention to Octopath Traveler, and they discussed it as soon as the promotional video was released.
"John is too daring! Spending tens of millions of dollars to make a pixel game?"
"The use of art is particularly outstanding, and the game music is great. Waltz and Miracle Entertainment's soundtrack is not overrated. Although expensive, it is worth the money, but this is a pixel game."
"Although the cost is very high, including special effects and various light and shadow pictures, it is a capital. I have to admit that although this pixel art performance style is great, the final visual effect is still pixels. Players should still not buy it."
"The most important thing is that this game is too expensive to sell. Although it can be paid back as long as it sells about 500,000, the money can be spent on all major platforms. For the discounted 3A masterpiece or Pixel JRPG game, who will buy which?"
"Yeah, from the cost production, it has left the cost range of independent games, but from the visual appearance of the screen, for most ordinary players, this is still very similar to independent games."
Many people in the game industry have expressed their disappointment.
Although there are some parts of the game, everyone is a little bit familiar with this line. It can be seen that this game Octopath Traveler is not retro, and even innovated in a simple pixel style. But most people are still not optimistic because pixel games are not mainstream, not to mention JRPG in the RPG type.
Even Martel, who has always been in this area, said that the turn-based RPG is too restrictive and that ARPG is the mainstream of the future. The products left over from this era are all old antiques. JRPG is already a niche game, plus a pixel style, it is a niche within a niche.
The previous Binding of Isaac is a rough pixel game, but the excellent creativity and extremely playable random gameplay are enough to make players ignore its picture. JRPG this type of game, to tell a story, can you compete?

"I'm so mad! Why does this guy say that we are inflated? Also said our game may not even reach 300,000 sales!" Luna, who had just taken a shower in the room after blowing her hair, looked at the information on the laptop in front of her with a facial mask, angrily grabbed the mouse, and double-clicked beside her, making a popping noise.
"Woof, Woof, Woof..." The Samoyed lay beside the bed with its tail wagging, was startled, and suddenly called out to stand up and looked at John and Luna on the bed.
"Don't call, go play." John took a tennis-size red toy from the drawer and threw it aside.
After watching the Samoyed happily chasing the ball, John turned to look at Luna on the bed: "Who criticized us again?"
"Don't know, a post by someone in the forum," Luna said with a muttered mouth, very unhappy.
Listening to Luna's words, John's face could not help showing a speechless expression. An ordinary passerby, you don't even know if it's a man or a woman, just criticized it. Why are you so angry, he thought it was some famous game from the media, or some influential person sprayed it.
But it's impossible to think about it. If there is any game in the same period, you can't commit to stepping on yourself. Everyone is a person in the industry, there is no hatred, and it is also fun to play, who will step on their feet?
Even if there is, unless the other party is demented, otherwise it is more to promote the game, or the traffic media simply leads the battle.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." John patted Luna's arm: "There are so many people, and now they berate us like enemies, maybe we will sell the game very well, and they will become our true fans in the blink of an eye."
"And there are so many fans who support us, why should we see people who say bad things about us?" John smiled and hugged Luna next to him, his hands passing from the other's arm, grabbed the hand holding the mouse, and opened the social platform account.
Under the tweet message of the previous publicity message, many players who entered the pit from the game of Binding of Isaac have expressed their support for Octopath Traveler and the support of PixelPioneers Studio. Many people marveled at the combination of pixels and modern graphics technology in the game, as well as the marvel at the original game painting.
"I also know, but can't help but pay attention." After looking at the time, Luna slapped the hand that was holding her hand away, then took off the mask on her face and pressed the massage.
John could not help but be speechless.
Compared to the game industry's pessimism about this game, Social Tap, which has been issued by the agent, is conducting the largest promotion on all channels, and the players care more about the subject matter, and the content of the game itself.
In the JRPG game forum, a large number of players who like JRPG are discussing the news about Octopath Traveler.
"I heard that a new JRPG is coming out, which was produced by the producer who developed Binding of Isaac, called Octopath Traveler, and it has been very popular recently."
"I must have heard of it, but I'm not interested in it a little bit. I can't stand pixel art."
"But the cost has been invested in the millions, and it is determined on the official platform, not the kind of bragging of the creators."
"Do they invest ten million? The producer is crazy. What pixels do you have with so much money!"
"No, I saw the art. Although it is a pixel, it is not a pixel in the traditional sense. How say, the old JRPG games in the past, let me play that pixel picture is enough to dissuade me, but this Octopath Traveler gives me the feeling that it is not so bad, although it is a pixel, it is particularly beautiful, and comfortable."
There is a group of players who are concerned about Octopath Traveler and have been bombed out for discussion.
Those who can gather here basically like JRPG games, and even if they don't want to admit it, they have to say that it looks like they are getting fewer. There are too few games of this kind, and there are fewer good games.
With the participation of players who are concerned about Octopath Traveler, more and more people exchange ideas. Many people are interested in the game Octopath Traveler and have developed some curiosity.
