Square Enix released retro-styled RPG Octopath Traveler last week, receiving universal acclaim and great sales numbers immediately, to the point that Japan has seen a shortage of physical copies of the epic adventure title.
It seems that the global success of the new Switch title has surprised even the game’s own developers, several of whom posted thank you notes over on the official Nintendo website. Octopath Traveler’s composer Yasunori Nishiki, Square Enix producer Masashi Takahashi, and ACQUIRE director Keisuke Miyauchi all took time to jot the following messages to the game’s community regarding the positive response.
