Octopath Traveler OST sees US release

Early this morning, Octopath Traveler Original Soundtrack was finally announced for a western release. The soundtrack to the SNES-styled JRPG received high praise from fans (as well as from VGMO), and hard copies are now available for pre-order on the Square Enix NA store for 39.99 USD. The soundtrack is also available on iTunes for 19.99 USD.

With this announcement came some behind-the-scene information on the composition of Octopath Traveler‘s main theme. According to Nishiki, he’d submitted two rejected drafts and considered resigning from the project before deciding to combine the two rejected drafts into what is now the Octopath Traveler Main Theme. For more information, read the full story on Nintendo’s tumblr.

Emily McMillan A native and lifelong Texan, I currently work in software education while contributing news, reviews, and interviews to VGMO on the side. I love the feeling that comes with the discovery of a brand new soundtrack, and always look forward to the next rekindling of that excitement. Outside of VGMO, I enjoy playing piano, listening to classical music and film scores, and trying to go unnoticed in any stealth RPG I can find.
