We previewed some of the music of the soundtrack back in March with a sampler release, and now it’s come time for the full shebang from composer Yasunori Nishiki to be released. The 4-disc album contains 80 tracks encompassing the game’s music as you take control of the game’s characters and traverse the different lands of Octopath. The original soundtrack to Square-Enix’s new action RPG, Octopath Traveler, containing the songs that colorize the fantastical world that the game presents to the player, will be releasing on the same day as the game itself. The Eightfold Road: Metal Arrangements from Octopath Traveler is currently for pre-order on Bandcamp and will release October 28th. The Eightfold Road: Metal Arrangements from Octopath Traveler by FamilyJules

The two-disc album takes from composer Yasunori Nishiki’s compositions for Octopath Traveler and gives them full metal, rock and acoustic arrangements while staying true to the source material.

Sure enough, he’s taken a significant portion of the soundtrack to Square Enix’s most recent offering, Octopath Traveler, and given it the rock/metal treatment in his soon-to-be release The Eightfold Road: Metal Arrangements from Octopath Traveler. FamilyJules7x is one such musician whose penchant for taking melodic VGM and turning it into rocking remixes has gained him some measure of distinction.

Let it never be forgotten that Square Enix games tend to have soundtracks that inspire a lot of musicians and artists in the video game field, and certainly the arrangement communities.
