Octopath Traveler producer Masashi Takahashi and composer Yasunori Nishiki are both in attendance at Japan Expo this week. French site Jeuxvideo caught up with the two to learn more about the game. Lelouch0612 provides the following details from the discussion:
– Both are 33 years old and grew up during the golden era of SNES JRPGs with the gameplay and visual style of the time (pixel-art)
– When Takahashi entered Square Enix, he wanted to do these kind of games but he was told that it was easier to develop more modern-looking games
– After years of hard and successful work, he was finally able to do the kind of projects he initially wanted to work on
– In terms of game mechanics, if Bravely was a spiritual successor of FFV, Octopath has been developed as a spiritual successor of FFVI
