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.
