Octopath Traveler 0 Wiki

Octopath Traveler 0

Octopath Traveler 0 is a 2025 HD-2D role-playing game developed by DokiDoki Groove Works and published by Square Enix. A prequel to Octopath Traveler (2018) and a console adaptation of the mobile title Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, it returns to the continent of Orsterra long before the eight travelers of the first game, following Zero, a customisable Ringbearer, as the divine rings are fought over in a story of restoration and retribution. Players recruit a large cast of travelers, build a party of seven, and fight turn-based battles anchored by the Break and Boost system, weapon and elemental weaknesses, and the field-based Path Actions. Every region, town, job, and dungeon is presented in the series' signature HD-2D diorama art style.

• Break & Boost Combat: Turn-based battles revolve around the Break system, which staggers foes once their shields are stripped by matching weapon and elemental weaknesses, and the Boost system, which spends stored BP to multiply hits, stack multi-turn buffs, or seize the turn order, letting a prepared party turn the tide of a fight.
• Path Actions: Every recruitable traveler carries a Path Action used on the field, from stealing from townsfolk and purchasing rare goods to inquiring for information, alluring NPCs into a party, or provoking and challenging them for rewards, so what a town offers depends on who is in the active party.
• Job System: The protagonist starts from one of eight initial jobs (Warrior, Merchant, Thief, Apothecary, Hunter, Cleric, Scholar, Dancer) and expands outward through secondary jobs, the advanced jobs (Warmaster, Sorcerer, Starseer, Runelord), and unique roles such as the Architect, so any traveler can be rebuilt around a different command set.
• Traveler Recruitment: More than three dozen travelers can be met and recruited across Orsterra, from the prologue companions who join Zero on the road to the returning wanderers of the first game, with up to seven characters forming the active party.
• Divine Rings Story: The campaign is framed as a war over the divine rings, following Zero's journey from a nameless traveler into the Ringbearer at the center of Orsterra's political, mercenary, and religious conflicts in the era before Octopath Traveler.
• HD-2D Presentation: HD-2D dioramas, tilt-shift depth-of-field, and a live orchestral score carry the series' visual identity onto a world map of eight regions and hundreds of towns, routes, and dungeons.
