Octopath Traveler, Square's latest and in recent times, greatest JRPG.

In game, Therion is the thief archetype, and part of the "rogue" grouping, his opposite or "noble" mirror being Tressa the merchant. So, while I kept the first variant a similar ambient feel, with clean guitars and a warm synth, I wanted to express the more rogue/alternative nature with a harsher second pass.

In general, my arrangement was in some ways inspired by "Discovery" from Rush's 2112, starting with simple, single string patterns, gradually becoming a little more complex by adding in chords, then going with a more technical repeat.

Therion, the Thief

This is my piano cover of the Main Theme from Octopath Traveler. I learned this by ear so I'm not sure if official sheet music exists. What do you think of this game? Who is your favourite character? Octopath Traveler OST was composed by Yasunori Nishiki.

I really love the game, its artstyle and its OST! So here is my personal tribute to "Octopath Traveler". An absolute Trap Banger!

Primrose, The Dancer (From "Octopath Traveler") - Trap Remix

Although I have not played the game myself, I've watched my brothers play Octopath Traveler. Altogether, this game has an engaging and deep story, wonderful aesthetic, and a beyond amazing score. Of all the tracks in the game that constantly would catch my ear, it was the Victory Fanfare theme. 

It was a beyond enjoyable song to cover and play around with despite the fact that I struggled with trying to find ways to extend the track beyond a 30 second loop. At first, I wanted a more drawn back and relaxed feel (hence the beginning) but, as always, I can't help but go big. 

Anyway, hope you enjoy. Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions. And, of course, feedback is much appreciated.
