About OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0
Octopath Traveler 0 continues the series’ HD‑2D visual style while introducing a new story set in Orsterra, where the player restores a hometown and pursues retribution linked to divine rings. The game adds character creation, town‑building, and a skill‑sharing system, and retains turn‑based command battles that support parties of up to eight members drawn from more than thirty allies. All actions are untimed, allowing players to progress at their own speed.
The title runs on Windows, offers full controller support, and includes Steam features such as Achievements, Cloud saves, and Family Sharing. Players may choose between gamepad and keyboard‑only input.
01 / THE GUIDE
Character Creation
Players act as the protagonist and can customize appearance, voice, motions, and a favorite dish during character creation. These choices affect how the avatar looks and sounds in dialogue, combat, and town‑building scenes.
The created character participates fully in Path Actions, town development, and battles, but the customization does not alter underlying gameplay mechanics.
- Experiment with different voice options to find the one that fits your role‑play style.
- Observe how visual customizations appear in cutscenes and adjust them if desired.
02 / THE GUIDE
Town Building
A town‑building system lets you restore your hometown by inviting companions and allies to live there. Buildings appear as you progress, creating a base that reflects the settlement’s growth.
Inviting residents is performed through Path Actions, linking settlement expansion with exploration and battle outcomes. The system imposes no timed constraints.
- Use Path Actions to bring a variety of allies into the town and see how the settlement changes.
- Develop structures at a pace that matches your exploration schedule.
03 / THE GUIDE
Combat System
Combat remains turn‑based and strategic, featuring the Break and Boost system that can shift battle momentum. You may assemble a party of up to eight characters from a pool of over thirty allies.
Allies can learn new action skills via the skill system, and those skills may be passed to other party members, expanding tactical options.
- Try Break attacks to expose enemy weaknesses before following with Boost moves.
- Swap learned skills between allies to test different tactical combinations.
04 / THE GUIDE
Path Actions
Path Actions let you decide where to travel, whom to invite, and which items to obtain. They serve as the primary method for interacting with the world, the town, and combat encounters.
These actions are untimed, allowing you to progress at any speed without pressure.
- Explore multiple routes to discover hidden allies and items.
- Use Path Actions to recruit characters that complement your current party composition.
05 / THE GUIDE
