Octopath Traveler’s music has received a lot of praise, and the standalone soundtrack has been available to purchase for a while now. However, Square Enix isn’t quite done with the game’s soundtrack yet. On February 20 2019, an Octopath Traveler remix album called “Arrangements – Break & Boost -” will be released in Japan. Supervised by the composer of the game’s original soundtrack, Yasunori Nishiki, this album will remix songs in two different styles: the “Break Side” will contain piano arrangements of songs, while the “Boost Side” will be more modern band arrangements. Each “side” contains six tracks; here are the songs that are on the “Break Side”:
- The Frostlands
- Primrose, the Dancer
- Determination
- A Settlement in the Red Bluffs
- Orewell, Beneath the Crags
- Decisive Battle II
And these six tracks are on the “Boost Side”:
- Battle I
- Decisive Battle II
- They Who Govern Reason
- Battle At Journey’s End
- Daughter of the Dark God
- Octopath Traveler Main Theme
The soundtrack will be released on February 20, 2019. It will cost 3000 Yen.
