It can look great when done well, like with Reverse 1999. Octopath's visual problem is that they are clinging to SNES pixelart sprites.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ Yesterday, 21:28"HD 2D" is a really ugly art style and I dislike octopath for helping popularize it.

Nihon Falcom did not stop producing Trails games when they detoured to make Tokyo Xanadu. Atlus didn't stop producing SMT and Persona games when they deteoured to make Metaphor ReFantazio. Gust did not stop producing Atelier games when they deteoured to make Blue Reflection. And so on. And we still have (actually good) turn based JRPGs still coming out like Trails, HSR, Reverse 1999, etc. Utawarerumono #5 just came out last week.Valter wrote: ↑ Yesterday, 21:15The Octopath devs switched from turn-based to action for their next game.

turn-based bros I don't feel so good...
No one's saying they'll full stop making turn-based games, but like with the SMT and Persona case, if the one-off becomes more successful, that's where they're gonna start focusing their resources. Production rate on the less profitable franchise can very well slow down. Now the question is whether this game will be more successful, which I doubt anyway. The artstyle is repellant to casual gamers, might as well have kept the turn-based combat anyway.
