Octopath Traveler To Be Represented In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next Event

I still need to finish Octopath Traveler,but it's been so long I may need to start afresh and i already have a lengthy backlog 😬

Nice! Let's hope we get more new on a sequel, or at least details of the mobile prequel they announced last year in the fortcoming months.

@PlayedNSlayed
Same, my Switch backlog has ended up as bad as my Steam backlog from when I used to game a lot on PC. Sales always seem to work on me and my brain doesn't want to miss out on buying it for cheaper - even if I never play it. We need 30 hours per day!

I'm still missing the Ring Fit Adventure spirits... 😭

Can we get some of that game's music in Smash? That would be nice.

Thanks for the heads up, I missed some Smash spirits (Pokémon Sword/Shield ones). Fortunately the game was eventually updated so that anyone was able to get them.

I hope Nintendo does the same for TETRIS 99. I missed two events, and it seems there's no way to unlock the themes from the missed events.

Anything Octopath Traveller is appreciated! Hopefully they can work on a sequel after Bravely Second

Octopath Traveler and Donkey Kong Country. Not too shabby for a wednesday.

I loved Octopath, I wouldn’t be opposed to some battle music being added

Now I feel like playing Octopath again. Such a great game.

...Did they just spoil Black Knight for Smash DLC? 0.o;

@SKTTR Didn't they add the event themes to the theme shop in Tetris 99? I'm not sure if the most recent ones are in there yet but I'm pretty sure at least some of them are.

@PlayedNSlayed Took me awhile, but I made it to the "true" final boss. Didn't beat it because **** that boss, but I felt satisfied just making it up to that point as it really connected all of the stories together.

Random focus for the Spirit board, but it's great. I love Octopath Traveler, and one day I'll actually finish it.

@PlayedNSlayed I wouldn't bother with starting over. The game is really good about providing summaries for stories you've already experienced. I'd say power it up, catch up on some reading, and jump right back in.

After the fishing tournament...

Next DLC fighter confirmed....

That's cool, OT is one of my favourite games on the Switch.

So this leaves the following Nintendo published Switch games left as not having any representation in Smash:

1-2-Switch
Flip Wars
Go Vacation
The World Ends With You
Fitness Boxing
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
The Stretchers
Good Job!
Clubhouse Games
Jump Rope Challenge

The World Ends With You next perhaps?

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Fight on, Super Smashers! Free the Octopath Traveler heroes and they'll join the battle against Galeem!

Why is the Black Knight part of that graphic? Is Ganondorf or DK not a suitable parody of Olberic?

Also: Square Enix is SOOOOOOO stingy!

Really love that game, one of those gems.

Still play it.

@Grumblevolcano My money is on Shantae.

This is still proudly my favorite Switch title to date.

@Expa0 They could add music to the Midgar stage. Squeenix still hasn't given Nintendo permission to use more than two soundtracks (or Geno lol).

@mjharper I'll definitely get back to it as I did enjoy what I'd played,but I've recently finished XC2,a dark souls run and now just started XC2 Torna. I've still got DQ11 and XCDE to play and my kickstarter copy of W101 arrived couple days ago. Paper mario has caught my eye now too!,as well as Ghost of Tsushima,but I may wait on a sale down the line on that one. Looks great though

Are there any other Spirit Events on the horizon? I missed the last two (Ring Fit Adventure and Trials of Mana) and want to get as caught up as possible.

Now give me 8 Octopath Mii Costumes with a song each and I'll be happy.

Gonna be brutally honest here - Octopath Traveller is a way more fun and interesting game than Smash. Fighting games just don't hold my interest for more than a couple hours but I look forward to a second play through and another 40 or so hours in OT.

Smash bros and square enix are getting reeeaaal close...hmmmmm

So I do plan on getting another Nintendo Switch in the future since mine got K.O.ed in February. Will however many Spirits there are in-game currently, close to what, 1600, be in the game when I can boot it up, cause I still have the cartridge of all five of my Switch games
