Along with the heated discussion of countless players, the major game forums are full of game discussions about Octopath Traveler. Of course, there are a lot of players who have only watched the livestream and have not played it.
Compared with the original content, John has improved a lot. First of all, he absorbed a TV series called Game of Thrones and a game called Final Fantasy 6 in the dream memory, so that the group portraits in Octopath Traveler play even better.
For details of the system, such as hunters capturing beasts, John also referred to a game development system called Pokémon, so that the hunters in Octopath Traveler can experience the fun of acquiring beasts, also It's called Pokémon, although normal players don't know what this means.
Other NPCs lured by Dancer, as well as NPCs recruited by Cleric, some specific NPCs, will also trigger side tasks when fighting, and John has made changes in many places.
The combination of retro and innovation, coupled with the absence of a good enough JRPG for a long time, has made Octopath Traveler instantly hot in the group of JRPG player enthusiasts, and game sales have risen as fast as a rocket. Soon it exceeded 700,000.
However, the increase in sales and popularity also brought a lot of negative evaluations, mainly from players who heard the popularity of Octopath Traveler and made follow-up purchases. These players don't like the long-tempo JRPG and pixel style.
They just feel that Octopath Traveler is so hot now, it should be a very fun game, and then they bought it without knowing it. After they bought it, they tried a part of it and it was okay, but many people felt that they were disappointed. This game was not as fun as the one that was played, so they gave a bad review.
As for the reason, most of them are limited to the time when people still do pixel style, or the game plot is too old-fashioned, and the game rhythm is too slow and boring. From the comments of these players, John has no big approach.
Because this is a limited game, players who do not like JRPG cannot accept the pixel style and can not bear the long plot are destined to not like this kind of game. Octopath Traveler is not gold, how can everyone like it?
Holding a computer in her house, her two feet were swaying. Luna smirked while observing the evaluation of Octopath Traveler on the Internet. The furball has stayed next to her, and he is going around in a silly place trying to bite his tail.
"What's the fun?" Pour some dog food into the box, John put the small bowl in front of the dog, then took off his shoes and crawled to the bed to join Luna and look at the computer screen.
"Look at our game, many people gave it a good review." Luna leaned back on John, and then the sundae that was not finished in her hand was also stuffed into John's hand.
With the launch of Octopath Traveler and the promotion of Social Tap, it can be said that the popularity of the game has skyrocketed rapidly. The combination of modern and retro, JRPG classics, all topped the head by Octopath Traveler. Especially in JRPG circles, almost nine out of ten players are aware of the game Octopath Traveler.
In just three days, the sales of Octopath Traveler have reached 750,000 copies. Although it has not broken the original sales record of 800,000 in 3 days for Space And Time, according to this trend and the popularity, it can be expected with word-of-mouth. The total sales of Octopath Traveler will not be worse than that of Space And Time.
Ordinary players are most surprised that the sales of Octopath Traveler will be so high, but the industry insiders in the game circle are shocked. They are about to explode.
The sales of Binding of Isaac exceeded one million. Although it was shocking, it was not too shocking. On the one hand, it is the unique creativity of the game itself, and then the price of the game, the price of 10 Dollars is similar to the ordinary independent game.
However, Octopath Traveler is different. The price of 20 Dollars for the first regular version is twice that of Binding of Isaac. This has exceeded the pricing range of independent games. To put it simply and straightforwardly, selling two copies of Binding of Isaac is equivalent to selling a copy of Octopath Traveler.
"This is just the beginning, but this time our studio is estimated to have a big expansion." John smiled, watching Luna and rubbing her head, he said.
"Also wait for the first batch of profits to be divided, we can simply buy this house and no longer need to rent it." John thought about Luna and said.
I haven't said this before, mainly because the money invested in the Binding of Isaac needs to be invested more in the game, and the houses are not cheap, although their area is quite remote, it is also almost a million or two.
Considering the cost of Octopath Traveler and the turnover of PixelPioneers Studio, John has always put this idea in his heart. But with the sale of Octopath Traveler, John feels that these are no problem at all.
"You can just decide." Luna didn't say anything, just leaned on John and nodded gently.
"Right, don't you say you want to learn to play games? Now I'll teach you!" John suddenly thought of something, said the excited Luna.
After half an hour...
Looking at a bunch of electronic textbooks downloaded from the computer, and a bunch of video graphics textbooks, the smile on Luna's face gradually lost. I regret it.
[ Octopath Traveler, wants to satisfy everyone's with classical JRPG. ]
[ Octopath Traveler, a nostalgic hymn to JRPG. ]
[ A dark horse in an independent game circle-! PixelPioneers Studio's Secret-! ]
[ Shocking New-! Who has ever done this kind of game-! ]
Along with the hot sale of Octopath Traveler, Social Tap has also invested a lot of money in marketing. In August, there were no strong competitors, so Octopath Traveler competed with small games in the industry.
Various media of various sizes have praised the Octopath Traveler. Within a few days, almost all the game media have become John's supporters. Under this kind of marketing, Octopath Traveler released the latest sales announcement on the eleventh day and successfully reached 1.5 million copies.
After the news came out, all the people who had anticipated the declining Octopath Traveler felt a burst of amazement.
In Mercury Studio, Martel looked helplessly at the final clearance record on the computer screen. Lost? Lost again?
He can find quite a few excuses. For example, the game of Octopath Traveler is not so good. The old-fashioned royal plot has many details, such as the spur that he can guess the ending. The reason why it is so popular is that it simply takes advantage of the market. There is no game of the same type, which takes advantage of the feelings of old memories.
But these are just excuses, what made him the most uncomfortable was clearly that he had said before that JRPG is a product of the obsolete times, but now that the sales of Octopath Traveler have broken millions, is this not a blow to him?
Although the sales volume of Space And Time has recently exceeded 2 million, the starting point of the two sides is completely different. Does this person have such a genius strategy?
Martel looked helpless.
