There were a few announcements for Octopath Traveler today, including a special edition. This will vary a bit between North America and Europe.

In the stateside release, a soundtrack CD will be included. However, this isn’t the case in Europe. The Compendium Edition won’t have the CD, though it will feature the same pop-up book, map, and replica coin.
