Despite Octopath Traveler 2 coming as an official sequel to the first game, it’s not exactly a direct sequel, and Square Enix is rather launching it as a flagship in the Final Fantasy series. Think of it as a disconnected entry that doesn’t really share the same world or characters with its prequel.

But if you’re just starting out and wondering if the game might be too difficult or too easy for you, you might want to know how to change its difficulty settings. In this guide, you can learn how to change difficulty settings in Octopath Traveler 2.

How to change difficulty settings in Octopath Traveler 2

Like in the first game, there’s currently no way of changing the difficulty settings when playing the main story in Octopath Traveler 2. Upon starting a new game, you will not be given the option to choose a difficulty mode, and there’s no option to change it from the game settings afterward either.

So, if you’re looking to enjoy a smooth experience and just scale through the game’s story, what you need to do is raise the levels of your party members when playing. And although changing the difficulty level is currently not a feature in the game, Square Enix might choose to allow players to do that at some point.

The upcoming game is set to bring more improved graphics, a gorgeous art style with high-definition visual effects, and a captivating story of eight different characters within the same world, with each one starting in a different area.

Each individual character’s path actions also differ between day and night, which changes the gameplay in a number of ways. The game’s towns and areas vary between day and night as well.

Octopath Traveler 2 is set to release for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC on Feb. 24, 2023.
