Ahead of Octopath Traveler 0's launch tomorrow, critical reviews suggest Square Enix has another JRPG hit on its hands, and the game's producer couldn't be happier about it. In fact, his comments in the wake of those great reviews are downright heartwarming. Octopath Traveler 0, a prequel to the first game in the series and an adaptation of the 2020 mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, currently holds an impressive 84 Metascore with 28 reviews having been counted. That's just one singular point lower than the brilliant Octopath Traveler 2, though it's unclear if and how 0's score will fluctuate as more reviews pour in during launch week. Octopath Traveler 0 producer reacts to State of Play "beloved series" disappointment: "If you wonder why it's beloved, please give the demo a try" Octopath Traveler 0 review: "The strongest entry in this retro-styled JRPG series yet, I love the greater focus on tactical battles" Yet another JRPG behemoth is making me confront my mortality as Octopath Traveler 0 reveals 100-hour main story with 30-40% new content compared to the prequel it's remaking "After reading many reviews, I feel a sense of relief—we may have truly delivered what we set out to create," Hirohito Suzuki said on Twitter. "It feels as though I've finally returned to my hometown after a long journey of game development. If this story stays with you, even just a little, it would mean the world to us."

Surely our list of the best JRPGs won't cause any controversy in the comments section.
