Octopath's battle system is a mix between Bravely and SMT. Love it!
The graphics are very charming/endearing
The music is memorable
The story is the weak point
I have no problem whatsoever with the characters themselves, but the story is just... so stale.
I was very disappointed
It has all the elements of a great RPG, but then the story was meh
I had a similar issue with Bravely
The story there is better, but some of the characters are so flat
I just wish for something as amazing across the board as FF6 or Chrono Trigger or FF4

@CodyMKW
Oh ok, didn't know that
That's cool

I don't time travel, but sucks for the people that do
I understand everyone schedule is not the same and wanting to get a head start
As long as TT are respectful and don't post anything online to spoil surprises I don't care and think people should be able to play the game how they want

@Heavyarms55
I can relate
Such is the life of an introvert
But sometimes you do crave someone for a little while

Still waiting for KH 1 & 2
I understand 3 may be too taxing
P3 to 5 would be nice!
Also, what happened to FF 4-6
And DQ 4-9
Oh and Prof Layton

My favorite handheld ever, even surpassing the Switch because of the perfect form factor!
I have about 150 games for it and thousands of hours on it.
I really hope a future hybrid console takes into consideration the portability of a clamshell design.

@TossedLlama @Bobb
Yes! Give me FE6 & 7 in a Switch cartridge and Nintendo can get my $60. Maybe Sacred Stones as an extra.
Likewise, give me both Radiance for $60.

@ALinkttPresent
A week after your comment, it went down and it still is down to $40

Patcher isn't that smart!

@Nintengamer I don't mind the "empty" space on the bottom portion as it would have a lot going on in the inside.
Let me explain what I envision:
I would like buttons on the bottom portion of the clamshell just like the GPD, Gameboy Advance SP and DS/3DS. The speakers would be present here to keep the top with thinness bezels possible (factoring portability). A 5000 mAh battery would be housed here too.
I would do away with the dock by directly having an HDMI output on the back of the console itself.
It doesn't need JoyCons attachment at the sides since there are buttons.
To play on TV you would need to buy JoyCons or Pro Controller separately or you could also just use the buttons on console.
The New 3DS does not even have power cord included in box so I don't see a problem with Nintendo not including JoyCons or power cord (as simple USB-C cable you already have lying around is all you would need).
Nintendo can keep this Switch 2 backwards compatible by having a Slot that accepts Switch cartridges and having small wedge on new cartridges, just like DS/3DS.
You could toggle between a battery saving and performance mode, which impacts CPU and resolution, along with brightness, volume and connectivity (Wi-fi/Bluetooth).
Developers don't have to worry about splitting players between base or Pro model.
Nintendo saves money on JoyCons, not having 2 screens, no power cable, no dock, in order to give us the rest of improvements for same price or at most $400.
I understand desire for touch screen capability. I just don't see them being able to implement it with all the stuff I mentioned. If the top screen retains touch like now, that is as far as I see it going. Either way, right now you cannot use touchscreen when playing on TV, but if you can use console, while playing on TV, like I mentioned, that may remedy some of it.

I'm down for KH 1 and 2 HD/latest version and Birth by Sleep.
Doubt 3 can play on current Switch.

@Nintengamer
I'm not against it
If it has 2 screens, fine, if it doesn't, it is not a deal-breaker for me.
I just want clamshell to protect screen and make it more pocketable

@Supadav03
Agree, I think that is a far more reasonable price point

@Nintengamer
Yup
But 2 screens are not necessary

@Steel76
I would like that very much, but shaped like the GPD XD

@BlueMage
I'm not a 100% sure, but I actually think it did
You are right thought, not that it needed it
But instead of square I was thinking more of something like the GPD XD

I wouldn't mind a return to clamshell design with 1 screen
It is the perfect form factor to fit inside a pocket

@Ratking
"Dumbed down story"?
You clearly have not played the game
Its miles more mature than Pokemon

@Ardisan
I really hope so
These games are such a great value
Hundreds of hours of fun!

@Wexter
Agree, along with D2
I would like to have the full collection available in the Switch!

My MINIMUM Wishlist (Hands down I'd pay $400):
Screen Resolution: 720-1080p
Screen size: 6.2-6.9in with thinner bezels
Better Chipset/CPU (enough for 60fps 1080p Witcher, BoW, Xenoblade docked)
Battery: 5000 mAh
RAM: 6GB
Memory: 64GB
More is better of course, but I would be content with this!
Also folders please

@arekdougy
5's battle system destroyed 4 and beat out 6.
I want to love the story, but held up to the other 2 is very mediocre.
Bravely Default has far better graphics, same (minus Brave/Default, which is a step up) battle system and the story is about on par so I recommend that over 5.

Personally, in order:
4,6,9,10,7 are the best!
Meh: 8,5,3,1

@Lord
No, earlier this year they stated halfway into its life.
So expect a new console in 2023, not before
Probably will release a Pro before that to prolong its life

@johnvboy
Their biggest threat is a 1st party game drought

@Friendly
A Switch Pro could possibly prolong its life to make it happen, but I still think it will come short of such a goal.

@Dezzy
@NintendoGameBoi
I don't think they would like to compete with Pokémon Gen 4 remakes (I know diff genre). Mid October the latest or gets push to 2022.

@abdias
It's $16 physical at BB
You have to go there in person, not online
DD hasn't caught on to it yet

@Slowdive
Dissidia would be nice
Also, I welcome 4 and 6!

I much rather D2, Disgaea 2 and 3 slide to Switch
Or Makai Kingdom
Or La Pucelle
Or Phantom Brave
Or Soul Nomad

@HXLXII
I'm interested, but I feel I will be disappointed.
Could you please give me some feedback when you play it?
Thanks in advance

Idk where they are back in stock because I still can't find anywhere. Been trying to get one for my sister, but no way I'm paying scalpers!

Duh, I could have told you that without having to do the math.
Its even worse if you do not count all of the Wii U ports.

I love monster-catching games so I've been curious since I first heard of this.
I won't be burn with a day one purchase though.
I'll wait for critic and user reviews before making a decision.

I'm fully supportive of a user rating (scores restricted to those who own the software).

@FargusPelagius
It was 50% a month ago

Both games on same cartridge for $60 seems "reasonable"
Not this though

@TheLightSpirit
Sigh... Agree wholeheartedly!

@SlimFreakinFast
Themes would be nice, but Folders are a necessity!

@Heavyarms55
As much as I'd love that, it is highly unlikely
It would be nice if they "modernize" them at least like Langrisser
It makes sense to pair them up by "system":
1. Shadow Dragon & Gaiden/Echoes both already remade and released in West fairly recently
2. Mystery, Genealogy and Thracia (Golden! none have been released in West)
3. Binding Blade, Blazing Blade & Sacred Stones
4. Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn

My order:
Binding Blade
Path of Radiance
Blazing Blade
Three Houses
Sacred Stones
Awakening
Radiant Dawn
Echoes
Fates Revelations
Shadow Dragon

Sadly never played Genealogy
Very strong series

2023 Switch 2 then?
I'm down if its backwards compatible!
I'm honestly ok with 1080p, just need a more powerful processor for new gen games

Interesting...

And the file size will continue its ridiculous growth

@gojiguy
You are too late
Sale ended 37 mins ago

Hmmm...
It gives me silly fun vibes like Good Job!

Would love to have this for the play times
Don't know if eShop would be better organized with this application

@Zequio
I greatly recommend Unravel Two to play with your wife!

@PickledKong64
Hopefully they are added in as updates
Why remove what worked?
I think New Leaf would have sold more if announcement for Switch would have been made much later/closer to release, which in the end it was delayed anyway.
A lot of people didn't jump to Switch until November Pokemon release and still heavily used their 3DS

Loved this game!
