Released in 2018, Octopath Traveler invites players to experience eight principal characters' unique stories.
The game has earned critical acclaim for its striking visuals and rich original score, both of which are influenced by Japanese role-playing games of the 1980s and 90s.
Today, we'll hear themes from the orchestral soundtrack alongside arrangements for harp, piano, strings, and more!
