Octopath Traveler 0 breaks from the series’ tradition by starting with character creation. Previous Octopath Traveler games told eight separate stories, each following a pre-defined character. This new game lets you design your own main character, who will be with you throughout the entire adventure, joined by companions you meet along the way. While the character creation options aren’t overly complex – you can customize things like hair and eyes – they’re presented in a charming retro pixel style, offering a surprising amount of personalization.
