Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Fans React to Octopath Traveler 0 Reveal
During the latest PlayStation State of Play, fans of Square Enix franchises such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts were caught off guard by an unexpected announcement. As host Yuki Kaji introduced the next reveal, he said:
"Next up, we have an announcement for Square Enix's beloved series."
The audience instantly assumed he meant one of the studio’s flagship titles—Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, or perhaps another Dragon Quest entry that had already appeared earlier in the showcase. Instead, the announcement turned out to be for Octopath Traveler 0, the new installment in the acclaimed RPG series by Square Enix.
Although Octopath Traveler enjoys a devoted fan base and high praise for its storytelling and art style, the dramatic introduction led many to expect something entirely different, causing a mix of excitement and disappointment among viewers.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
On social media, reactions poured in from players who were momentarily misled by the teaser. One popular post captured the sentiment perfectly:
"No shade to Octopath Traveler 0 but this was literally me for a second just now"
The meme accompanying the post featured IGN reporters at E3, humorously reflecting the audience’s confusion and brief frenzy following the reveal on November 11, 2025.
Summary
Square Enix surprised viewers by unveiling Octopath Traveler 0 during PlayStation’s State of Play, leaving Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts fans caught between amusement and mild disappointment.
Author’s note: The announcement of Octopath Traveler 0 caused momentary confusion among fans expecting the next major Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts update.
