Octopath Traveler 2 is not a direct sequel to Octopath Traveler 1. Read on to find out what makes Octopath Traveler 2 different from its predecessor, why it is not a direct sequel, and if you need to play the first game before Octopath Traveler 2.
List of Contents
Unlike series such as Kingdom Hearts, Xenoblade Chronicles, or the Trails series where the games are interconnected, the latest entry to the Octopath Traveler series is not a direct sequel to the first game similar to most games within the Final Fantasy series.

Though the game is not a direct sequel, Octopath Traveler 2 shares many mechanics with the first game such as having eight individual story routes, Path Actions, and other combat mechanics.
All Changes, Differences, and New Features
While similarities remain such as following eight separate protagonist's stories, the latest entry takes place in Solistia which is set on a more modern time period (close to nineteenth or twentieth century) in contrast to the previous game's medieval time period setting.
Addressing the criticism of players on the previous game, the individual stories in Octopath Traveler 2 intertwine more with each other more than the previous entry.
Octopath Traveler 2 is a self contained story separate from the previous game, so it is safe to play this title without playing the first one.
