When people say “Square doesn’t make old-school RPGs anymore” I can’t understand it. We might have been lucky to get two Bravely Defaults, but they’ve been investing in other projects for years like Setsuna and Lost Sphear.
Although they’re not all created equal the future of RPGs is beholden to these experiments, and Project Octopath makes a better case than most.
