They transition beautifully into the boss themes, hyping you up for the fight, and they never fail to fill my heart with excitement. Each one of these themes is rich in personality.
They even have separate tracks named after character motivations (For Truth, For Redemption, For Treasure, For Freedom, etc.). They match the characters perfectly, and all of them are instantly recognisable.įrom Olberic’s powerful strings and steady marching drums to Tressa’s soft, playful tune, each theme is memorable and unique. Character themes play at key points in the story, like during big revelations, personal moments or before a major battle. While this isn’t uncommon (many soundtracks will tie certain sounds or melodies to specific characters), the way it’s executed here is masterful. All these things await the player, and the main theme does a great job preparing you from the jump.īut one of the best ideas Nishiki had was to create distinct motifs for each main character. Eight characters with distinct storylines. Octopath, while linear in some ways, is a game on an epic scale. The glistening sprinkles of magic and grand orchestral flourishes fill you with the sense that you’re about to embark on an epic quest, and the game follows through on this promise. From the very first track, Octopath Traveler’s main theme hints at adventures waiting to be discovered and paths waiting to be journeyed.
