Octopath Traveler OST is the best OST since Witcher 3.
- Thread starter The perfect Dark
- Start date
It's not. I'd buy it immediately if it was though.
What country are you in?
OP could have had a thread of people singing the praises of the OST they enjoy, but instead had to invite comparisons and now has a thread of people posting songs from other games.
Octopath's OST is fine, but it's not blowing my mind. It's very high quality and I love the instrumentation, the compositions can be a bit boring sometimes. I personally think Bravely Default had a better soundtrack if anything is comparable at all.

I'm in Singapore.
The full OST is also very cheap.
85 songs for equivalent of like US$18-19.
Definitely a steal.
Yup, this is uninspired cookie cutter trash in comparison to NieR.
The same can be said about the game altogether.
That's not Celeste
^that buildup to 3:00. Pure adventure
Soundtrack of the generation. Shit still gives me goosebumps and I didn't even really like the game

I mean, between Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Octopath it's been a stellar year for Game Soundtracks
For all the praise Celeste's OST got, I've never really felt anything special from it.
It sounds like generic arcade music and very bland.
In terms of indie metroidvania, Ori has much much better OST.
Hm, isn't that hard in my opinion, because I didn't find the Witcher 3 OST THAT good apart from two or three tracks.
I'll listen into Octopath's OST when the Wi-fi's working again (although I won't be able to play this awesome looking game due to lack of a Switch :( )

What I've heard of the Octopath OST is pretty good, but I've heard better soundtracks so far this generation (NieR: Automata, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Undertale, Xenoblade Chronicles 2).
I recommend listening to Fire Emblem Echoes as well. It flew under the radar last year (3DS game). But I felt it was at the level of Xenoblade 2 as well. Those two were the best soundtracks from Nintendo last year.
The OST is varied and definitely pulls from a lot of places. Quite a few tracks had me thinking of Lunar: SSS and of course FF and SaGa. Not the greatest RPG soundtrack of all time (that still goes to Chrono Cross) but easily and instantly put into the top 10.
I put a trillion hours into Witcher and remember nothing about it's ost. Must have been atmospheric stuff
Or it's just an opinion lol, all I'm mostly seeing is people saying it wasn't the best OST that year, much less the best one these last three years until Octopath came along, which is absolutely fair to say since this is all wildly subjective at the end of the day.
As for myself, the little of Witcher 3's OST I actually remember I do indeed like, but that's about it.
Throw it on YouTube in the background sometime, might jog your memory or at least help identify why it's so beloved. It's brought up for good reason.
I don't agree with the OP's assertion that TW3 had the last stellar OST waay back in 2015, due to the many obvious responses in this thread, but I would also say Ard Skellige is probably a Top 3 track for the generation.
Honestly the fighting in this thread had only reminded me that music across the board is incredible this gen, including Octopath.

Yep its pretty damn good. Dunno if its the "best" since the witcher 3 when cuphead and nier came out last year, but its definitely up there.
some good mentions in this thread too like Celeste from earlier this year.

Seriously how do you ignore Automata's of all things. Legendary tier.
Yeah, poor guy derailed his own thread with that title lol
I agree though, NieR Automata is the GOAT
OP, you forgot to post the two best songs towards what I assume is very late end game. Don't open if you don't want to hear late end game area music and final boss theme. If the final boss music is what I think it is based on the soundtrack, and seeing what late game bosses are like on the GameXplain stream yesterday. Oh boy...this final boss is going to be quite something.

hahaha I came in here to say this :D There have been plenty of jaw dropping soundtracks since then
I've been playing the game for nearly 15 hours now and i can't even remember a single bit of the ost
Yup. Ori and the Blind Forest is.
Also, since then, NieR Automata and Final Fantasy XV came out, soooo...
But yeah, Octopath's OST is absolutely amazing. One of the main reasons why I want to play this game.
We had some incredible OSTs this generation, some examples:
Nier Automata
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Pyre
The Witcher 3
Splatoon 2
Mario Odyssey
Far Cry 5
But yeah, Octopath's music is awesome as well.
edit: Reading this thread some more, how could i forget to mention Final Fantasy 15's amazing soundtrack. Same with DOOM (2016).

Pretty much my thoughts as well, having played the first demo. In addition, there's little standing out to me in the samples posted here as well. It's not horrible music, but fairly bland going over the tracks.
