Blatant ripoff of Square Enix's HD-2D/ Octopath Traveler

[Arrogant Player]

Screw this ♥♥♥♥. Looks like this game has been in development since the release of Octopath Traveler when it took them 2 seconds to immediately start a direct imitation of the graphic style/effects.

'sigh', why someone like u alive in this word? did god even forbid something to look familiar or identical? don't just talk nonsense in here, go tell the other FPS developer to not make a game like FPS and stuff. why would they can't do that? did it even make you poor or die? so they have to create something that new to the world every time they make something? doesn't even make sense, you must be one of that uneducated human being in this world

It's very difficult to definitively demonstrate clear intent in that.

lol, this is 100% clear intent. the development of this game began immediately after Octopath and is a direct imitation of a first of its kind style of graphics so unique that Square Enix went to the lengths of trademarking the term HD-2D.

I get what you're saying.. games copy games, that's the way it goes. but this is pathetic and they went with Microsoft so it goes to show how spineless they are.

I loved Suikoden too man, but I don't respect these guys anymore.

they don't even need your respect in the first place, who are you anyway? talking like u some big shot or some lol, u just some guy who talk nonsense in here. they don't need a fans like you, who talk nonsense everytime some things got inspired by and got implemented in their game, and tell that they can't got inspired or copy the looks of the graphic.

Suikoden would like a word. the graphic style is Suikoden and every other 2D Jrpg made in the early 90s early 00s.

if you want to say someone stole its Octopath Traveler.

2D is not something you can own. I can believe Octopath made them brave enough to make the game they wanted to make. but everything else you said is stupid.

I should point out that the OP "Arrogant Player" is level 0. No games. Private profile.

[Bryantheart]

Imagine same art style has been called as rip off. This developer has been making 2D JRPG since you weren't even born yet.

[Geist]

Suikoden always looked like this. Predates Octopath by quite a bit. Weird thread.

Started reading and contemplated responding to your initial comment but after a couple of your other posts it became abundantly clear that you're trolling. Thread reported for trolling and you've been blocked. I suggest others do the same.

You should try Suikoden then make this statement.

You're right, it looks like a shameless ripoff. There's a ton of those popping up in recent years. Games that make you go, "oh COME ON, they're not even trying to pretend to be original!"

You could not have picked a more apt name.

"This game looks like another game, therefore it sucks!" WTF, who says **** like that? Who even has TIME to even say **** like that? "Sonic stole all its ideas from Mario! Sonic sucks!"

Wrong. Sonic was original. It invented so many design elements that have been imitated, as did Mario. Some people want original ideas, not cheap knock-offs.
There's a clear distinction between sharing the same genre and being shamelessly derivative. The fact that you can't tell the difference tells us everything.

Everybody knows that Mario evented coins in video games.

One I'm surprised someone didn't pursue more successfully sooner than Octopath, to be frank.

yea, Square Enix invented this style dude.. and these washed out Suikoden developers would have been standing around scratching their balls without Octopath laying the groundwork for them to immediately try to clone.

you can tell they just loaded up Unreal Engine and tried to clone everything Square Enix did to achieve the same look as Octopath. It's pathetic. As soon as they saw Octopath they started cloning.

LOL I sent you an award cause I read your reply and laughed thinking you were being sarcastic. Then I realized you're the OP and you're serious. Let's be real here little boy, Octopath Traveler is mediocre ass game and Eiyuden Chronicles will be pure old school RPG bliss. If you don't know the Suikoden series, then you're ignorant and naive when it comes to JRPGs and your opinion is invalid.

I think the "Jester" award is fitting, because OP is a fricking clown. :)
