Today, Square Enix revealed new information for the upcoming OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0.

Having lost your hometown, you swear revenge against the three powers that control Orsterra and embark on a journey. Along the way, you encounter those who resist their influence and gain new allies. What do you seek at journey’s end?

The villains include: Herminia the Covetous Witch (Marissa Lenti) of Valore who, upon learning of a certain ring, leads to the tragedy that befalls the protagonist’s hometown; Tytos the Hero (Erik Ransom), who leads a band of criminals, rules the town of Emberglow, and sets the protagonist’s town on fire; and Auguste (Michael Mishkin), The Greatest Playwright, who uses the tragedy as inspiration for his work in Theatropolis.

As for allies, the protagonist can be joined by Celsus (Lex Lang) the Thief. Working as a bodyguard in Valore, this devout man’s skills are second to none, and can draw the ire of enemies as well as dodge physical attacks.

Macy (Suzie Yeung) is a traveling Apothecary visiting Emberglow.While normally easygoing, she can become deadly serious when it comes to combating disease. Her Ultimate Technique, Prism Mist, grants a random positive status effect to all allies.

Alexia (Salli Saffioti) is a Scholar researching the magic of ancient civilizations. Having hit a dead end in her studies, she hopes journeying with the protagonist will lead to a breakthrough. Her Ultimate Technique is Ancient Magic, which deals massive non-elemental damage to all foes.

The Warrior, Viator (Griffin Puatu), has a genteel demeanor and is searching for a certain sword, following a tradition passed down through his family for generations. Fluid Stance is his Ultimate Technique, and allows him to deal damage twice with his equipped weapon while evading or parrying attacks.

Finally, Ludo is a renowned Merchant in Sunshade. He may look young, but his business acumen is not to be underestimated. His keen eye and calm judgement never let event he smallest business opportunity pass him by. With his Ultimate Technique, Enervating Thrust, he can deal polearm damage to a single foe. If the foe is already broken, he’ll lower their Shield Points by 1 when they recover.

The protagonist can learn Ultimate Techniques through progressing the story, while other characters learn them at the training ground. Once the Ultimate Technique gauge is filled to its maximum (up to three levels), a character can activate their technique. The customizable protagonist can also choose from eight jobs: Warrior, Merchant, Thief, Apothecary, Hunter, Cleric, Scholar, and Dancer.

Players can make use of the Action Skills system by using Mastery Items and acquire interchangeable skills. These can be equipped to your companions and mastered in the training ground, which you can build in town.

A key part of OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 is rebuilding your character’s hometown. You can build facilities like the aforementioned training ground as well as fields, ranches, and a shop. By gathering information and allies on your travels, you can obtain special goods and assign new residents to the town’s facilities.
