I am not affiliated with the games or its composer in any way and I highly encourage you to buy yourself! Video footage taken from : • Let's Play Octopath Tr...
@@Onefanguy It's a shame Octopath 2 apparently didn't do that well, compared to the first one. I guess Octopath 1 had the advantage of being close to the Switch's launch (and it introduced the art style), but Octopath 2 really is better in every way, yet barely anyone talks about it. I hope Octopath 3 still happens for the music alone!
It was a massive improvement over the first game, but i don't know if it was game of the year material. However the OST not being nominated is some serious crap. The composition of the songs, the absolute diversity of genres and sounds, and how memorable a lot the tracks are. It will be fact this will be one of the most underappreciated soundtracks of all time.
This track in particular really woke me up and got me to start paying attention to the music in the game. The way the music builds and builds as your character and the boss are speaking -- to the "whooosh!!" as the scene moves into the battle proper -- and finally the music transitions to the boss theme with the DA DA DA DA-DA! DA DA DA DA-DA! DA DA DA DA-DA! DA DA DAA, DAA! It gets me so hyped up every time!
It was the same in OT1. Each character has a special song that acts as build up before each story boss and no matter at what point you finish the conversation, it's designed to follow the cadence and rythm of the boss fight theme. It's marvelous
This was the first boss track I came across in the demo just cause I was wondering how the music compared to the first game. This immediately became one of my favorite tracks of all time.
For me this is a masterpiece. It's in the hall of greatest and best tracks of every RPG I've ever played. I wanted to hear more times in the final chapters of the game.
From what I've heard so far, this melody is my most favorite, it's emotional and epic at the same time, I could listen to it several times, and I won't get tired of liking it
I agree as much I didn't like OT 1, OT 2 did surpassed it in every way that what I expected from JRPG from SE they should really go back to their roots with the FF that what made their success
2:26 -2:45 is such a great part. I always found myself building up a big turn around this part in the song, so when 2:46 kicks in, one of my characters is generally throwing out a big attack. I can't imagine the gameplay was balanced around that timing, but it made this song that much more memorable for me
God the introduction goes so incredibly hard. It really just makes you go full mood epic battle. They could play that in a fight against a snail and you would be motivated to erase it from Earth.
This song is so good that when I heard it for the first time, my brother had to come in from the other room to tell me to shut up because I was vibing and humming/singing it loud as hell. 😂
This plays for the following bosses: Tera Veron & Doron Plukk Pirro Bergomi Warden Davids Captain Stenvar Garnet La’mani Felvarg Bandelam the Reaper Rai Mei
0:11 the buildup to my favorite part when the horns come in ar 0:17, then at 0:29 when the flute comes in to lay it on hard one more time. I get so pumped for fights when i hear these three things in succession
This is my running/jogging song Last week I did the entire thing, over 1100 steps total, high knee jogging Hurt like a bitch And now I just did again but played the song a 2nd time I'm gonna make it. Gonna be healthy. Thanks for uploading this
Critical Clash II is the best boss battle theme ever made! even better than "those who fight further" it keeps me from fighting the first few minutes because i am enthralled with the musik!
I'm not the only ine where this specific figth agains't the guard became a nutrition war, rigth ? I was a biiiiiit reckless with the items at first, and it quickly became a daguer and wand figth (wand cause spells are costy, and daguer cause I NEED THOSE SP TO HEAL !!!)
This might be a bit of a hot take, but I honestly think this theme alone manages to blow most battle themes from the first game out of the water, even Battle at journey's end
This theme tends to be for fights where they may not be as serious of an undertone compared to Decisive Battle 1....in some cases it may even be comical (Throné Chapter 1 is one exception though). By far my favorite track of this game....especially 0:47 to 1:11....pure eargasm dO.Ob
One thing I've noticed is that there are some tracks that sound DRASTICALLY different with headphones vs through the console without headphones. Unfortunately, I much prefer this track without headphones. The difference is quite surprising.
it's because with headphones you can hear much more depth in the sound and many background instruments otherwise impossible to hear (and I absolutely adore both versions but I can understand people having preferences)
This was the first boss track I came across in the demo just cause I was wondering how the music compared to the first game. This immediately became one of my favorite tracks of all time.
Honestly Idk why they decided to put critical clash 1 in most of third story bosses, if you think about it, the last 3 times you hear cc2 are in (spoilers) Castti ch2 winterbloom Ochette ch2 Tera Hikari ch 4 Which is a shame bc cc2 is easily one of the best boss themes of all time, I know cc1 fits better in some "ch3" bosses like Throné, Ochette or Osvald, but at least they could change it for Agnea and Temenos

Yasunori with Decisive Battle II: I'd just made a ripping soundtrack.
Yasunori with Critical Clash 2: *BUT I'M NOT DONE YET*
This is true.
If Octopath 3 is getting a green light, then it’s gonna get more better with a potential new boss theme 😁
@@Onefanguy Definitely.

@@Mimi.1001octopath 3 is still happening, don't worry. it's just a matter of when they will make it.
Not nominated Goty nor best OST for game awards is actual robbery.
Not being nominated was a crime but FFXVI winning wasn't bad. It could have been much worse.
Octopath II has my favorite gaming OST that I have ever heard, I completely agree.

Game awards are crap anyway
Straight truth
I keep thinking im a caveman cause i keep discovering fire
F in the chat for our fallen bro emerald
Bro when i did the side quest with his mother in timberlain i cried
Characters like Emerald and Crick being temporary companions really made you care about them a lot more than you would if they were just npcs

I love the enthusiasm in this comment. I hope you find lots of vigor each time with this song - song is def hype!! 💪🔥

You cannot ignore some tracks in games, a lot of jewels.
Just paying attention.
For me this is a masterpiece.
It's in the hall of greatest and best tracks of every RPG I've ever played. I wanted to hear more times in the final chapters of the game.
Japanese composers are incredible.
For example, Nobuo Uematsu.
From what I've heard so far, this melody is my most favorite, it's emotional and epic at the same time, I could listen to it several times, and I won't get tired of liking it
honestly i'd play this game just for the soundtrack but the gameplay and story is such a real treat :)
I agree as much I didn't like OT 1, OT 2 did surpassed it in every way that what I expected from JRPG from SE they should really go back to their roots with the FF that what made their success
No way, a never expect you comment here xd, like so much tour vídeos :D
I can't decide if I prefer this or Decisive Battle II from the first game, they're both stellar!
There's not bad or good with Yasunori's music, only perfection
This is superior in every way. Decisive battle 2 is just overhyped.
Honestly, they’re both amazing.
This composer deserves to have his music toured. Music is ridiculous
Agreed, they’re both excellent
2:26 -2:45 is such a great part. I always found myself building up a big turn around this part in the song, so when 2:46 kicks in, one of my characters is generally throwing out a big attack. I can't imagine the gameplay was balanced around that timing, but it made this song that much more memorable for me
The flutes and trumpets in this game went absolutely NUTS
Osvald chapter 1 and 2 is a short, pleasant, yet sad experience
Any song with chanting vocals is basically a win in my books
The Journey's End for this entry in the series gotta be the best piece of music I've ever heard in any video game. This one is incredible too btw.
God the introduction goes so incredibly hard. It really just makes you go full mood epic battle. They could play that in a fight against a snail and you would be motivated to erase it from Earth.
I remember hearing this for the first time playing the demo before launch in Osvalds story when you break out of the prison with Emerald. Epic!
Most epic prison break ever!
This song is so good that when I heard it for the first time, my brother had to come in from the other room to tell me to shut up because I was vibing and humming/singing it loud as hell. 😂
Osvald fight was amazing for this, and was an AMAZING introduction to it.
Now get outta his way. He's got someone to actually murder this time.
Ikr! Whenever I hear this I imagine how much I want to destroy harvey
When you’ve read the letter in the bottle…
Good one, professYAHOOOO!!
UGH...You got me. You happy now?
Song gets my so absorbed into the boss fights
“YAHOOO!!!”
“ON MY HONOUR AS A KNIGHT!”
"CALCULATIONS COMPLETE! LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I'VE LEARNED!"
"REPENT!! SAY YOUR PRAYERS!!"
"NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN!"
"YEE HAW, I'VE GOT MORE GRIT THAN I CAN HANDLE!"
@@Wotvr Time to clean up the filth.
As swift as a snake! WATCH ME!
This is SOOOOOO GOOD. I need to make a cover for it
This made me buy the OST. This song right here. I wanted to crank it on GOOD speakers, and my god is it satisfying.
Probably my favorite battle theme across both the Octopath games
Holy shit, Square Enix didn't name a boss track "Decisive Battle" for once!
Now THIS is how you do a boss battle soundtrack. :)
Octopath 2 is better than 1 in every way. This soundtrack is perfection.
I play this song in loop while training in the gym. ❤
This plays for the following bosses:
Tera
Veron & Doron
Plukk
Pirro
Bergomi
Warden Davids
Captain Stenvar
Garnet
La’mani
Felvarg
Bandelam the Reaper
Rai Mei
Rai Mei is CC1 not CC2.
@@s0larisytit is CC2
One thing they all had in common. They picked a fight they had no chance of winning despite how tough they actually are.
Veronica should've had it tbh, this fits her much better than CC1
0:11 the buildup to my favorite part when the horns come in ar 0:17, then at 0:29 when the flute comes in to lay it on hard one more time. I get so pumped for fights when i hear these three things in succession
Best banger of the ENTIRE Soundtrack. Prove me wrong.
This theme can mean only thing, the hero is guaranteed to make a comeback.
This is my running/jogging song
Last week I did the entire thing, over 1100 steps total, high knee jogging
Hurt like a bitch
And now I just did again but played the song a 2nd time
I'm gonna make it. Gonna be healthy. Thanks for uploading this
I'm obsessed with this intro wtf, it's so... Powerfull
How has this not won best ost honestly

This song so good 👍
MY OST OF 2023!
The fact that this wasn't used in the fights with Mother and Father in Throne's story is downright criminal.
Show me what you got.. Best of the nest
I love how you can just take video footage from another video now. Makes it so easy to do stuff like this.
I'm not the only ine where this specific figth agains't the guard became a nutrition war, rigth ? I was a biiiiiit reckless with the items at first, and it quickly became a daguer and wand figth (wand cause spells are costy, and daguer cause I NEED THOSE SP TO HEAL !!!)
I just leveled up like hell fighting monsters and replenishing SP with the inspiriting plums from the prison merchant and blew through the fight lol

For fights that are more bombastic than dramatic.
I don't remember, which one plays for Temenos first battle?
@@ivandreuxzuev9473 Think it was the other theme, but not sure
Great piece of music, but why does it feel like the game is being played by one of those controllers that puts in random inputs?
God damn man, I need the OST to be available on Apple Music already!
Someone tell me if I'm crazy...
At 1:34 where the horns come in... Is this not the motif of Octopath Traveler's Main Theme?
They do sound similar but I don’t believe it’s a motif of it
One thing I've noticed is that there are some tracks that sound DRASTICALLY different with headphones vs through the console without headphones. Unfortunately, I much prefer this track without headphones. The difference is quite surprising.

What did you say, you little -
Anyone know if there is a extended version with link, i need this for during work so bad.
To my knowledge there's none but youtube has a loop functionality so it's basically the same thing as an extended version
Why I wanna cry when the trumpet sound rises😭 such amazing music
Never played the first one i just got a ps4...are both game or just this? Are separated story?
If I understand your question correctly, yes the games are separate and you can play one without playing the other.
@@OctopusRavioli thanks you ,and thw other was, i l octipath traveler II is on ps4...but the first one too or not?

Shhhiiiiink go flash slice blade!!! Idk I just think this is awesome using idk how I got here but now I wanna place this xD
octopath traveler 2 and star ocean the second story r shouldve won goty for jrpg.
Let me show you what I've learned
the only boss theme i remember from this game for a good reason
Honestly Idk why they decided to put critical clash 1 in most of third story bosses, if you think about it, the last 3 times you hear cc2 are in (spoilers)
Castti ch2 winterbloom
Ochette ch2 Tera
Hikari ch 4
Which is a shame bc cc2 is easily one of the best boss themes of all time, I know cc1 fits better in some "ch3" bosses like Throné, Ochette or Osvald, but at least they could change it for Agnea and Temenos
I 100% agree for Agnea, but Temenos... the fact Crick is dead fits CC1's more somber tone well
