Octopath Traveler 2 will be getting a brand new demo with transferrable progress

gamepur.com:

You can get your hands on Octopath Traveler 2 right now weeks before the game’s official release. Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Square Enix released a demo of the upcoming RPG on the Nintendo Switch shop. It’s a doozy too, as it is said to include the entire opening sequence of the Octopath Traveler 2.

For those interested in checking out the sequel to 2018’s Octopath Traveler before it arrives, you’re in luck. You no longer have to watch trailers over and over again. Head on over to the Nintendo Switch store to download the Octopath Traveler 2 demo for yourself.

The demo isn’t the entire game, but you’ll be able to choose from among eight characters to play as. It’s a similar experience to the first game that also included eight characters each with their own storyline. As soon as you finish the demo, you can start it back up again as another character or try it again as your favorite. The best part of it all is, all of your save data will transfer to the full game once it releases. This means that you don’t have to restart from scratch once you purchase the full version of Octopath Traveler 2.

This is a developing story…
