Octopath Traveler 2 is an upcoming RPG game and currently, it is not released. However, based on the previous releases in the series, we can assume that there might be a similar option to skip cutscenes in the upcoming game.

This will bring up a prompt asking the player if they want to skip the cutscene. If the player selects “Yes,” the game will skip the cutscene. In this article, we will be focusing on how you can skip Cutscenes in Octopath Traveler 2. Continue reading to know everything about this topic.
Octopath Traveler 2 is the successor of the 2018-released Octopath Traveler game. Its gameplay is somewhat similar to its predecessor, but the game’s story or characters are not internally connected. This game offers a completely original cast of characters and a fresh storyline to delve into. You will still be able to participate in turn-based battles, but with a completely new story and characters. Coming to our main topic, here is everything you need to know about skipping cutscenes in this game.
Octopath Traveler 2 Skip Cutscenes
In a story-focused role-playing game like Octopath Traveler 2, you cannot skip every single cutscene in the game. The motive behind this development is plain and simple- the game makers want the players to understand the game’s story. A majority of players wish to press the “W” key and rush through the game’s story to finish it as fast as possible. So, it could be a bitter pill to swallow for some players. However, not every cutscene in the game is unskippable. Some can be skipped by pressing the Circle/D key on the PS/Xbox controllers and the “T” key on the keyboard. Some scenes like the main story quests’ cutscenes are compulsory for players to watch and understand the basic concept and direction of the game.
On the PC platform, you can also change the key binds manually by going into the control settings to Skip Cutscenes. This can help you set the desired key for skipping cutscenes that you have a habit of using in other games as well.
Anyways, this brings us to the end of this guide. If you found this guide helpful, share it with your friends.
