Technically it's not the right order since officially, Temenos and Throne should be swapped. That said, I firmly believe that the devs did it wrong, and both Osvald/Ochette and Throne/Temenos should be swapped in the official order.
@@Levolpehh There's a very specific reason why I think the right order should have Osvald before Ochette and Temenos before Throne, but it's VERY heavy spoilers. I'll write it down below, but don't read if you haven't finished the game, don't read it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . So, we all know that, just as in the first game, the protagonists' initials spell out OCTOPATH. Following the order I propose, it would be: Osvald Castti Temenos Ochette Partitio Agnea Throne Hikari But, each character has a character in their story who can be deemed their connection to the final chapter/Vide (most, but not all of them as villains). If we match them up with their protagonists, we have: Osvald (Harvey) Castti (Trousseau) Temenos (Arcanette) Ochette (Petrichor) Partitio (Ori) Agnea (Tanzy) Throne (Claude) Hikari (Oboro) Now take a look at the names in parentheses. Notice anything about their initials? THAT'S why Osvald should come before Ochette and Temenos before Throne. Because If not, then these very clever bit just goes to complete waste
@@ALeafOnTheWind42 idk where they listed the "official" order but this makes sense to me. They probably just did it for the letters but not lore or anything like that.
@@atew8277 The official order is in game, in the journal. It lists: Ochette Castti Throne Osvald Partitio Agnea Temenos Hikari.

Further, if you look at the job wheel (ignoring the secret jobs) you get, in order: Hunter Apothecary Thief Scholar Merchant Dancer Cleric Warrior (which are the jobs matching that order).

@@KirianLaraunfortunately the 2nd list doesn't work, cuz the Octopath order of the protags is the opposite order of Throné and Temenos 🙈 she comes first. Can see it on the ost, and in other places like the strategy guide
@@GilgaMax305 This is how I expected to feel about Agnea. 5 minutes into her chapter 1 I was full on "you are precious and I must protect you at all costs" mode
To me, each of the segments of every character theme showcases the true strength of the respective traveler: Ochette: Pure Innocence Castti: Pure Compassion Temenos: Pure Logic Osvald: Pure Anger Partitio: Pure Sincerity Agnea: Pure Joy Throne: Pure Desperation Hikari: Pure Tranquility
it really gives the feeling of "what the hell is happening? This can't be the final battle, there is something much bigger happening in the shadows, the truth is still hiding out there!"
this really hits home just how talented yasunori is. it was never in the game but holy hell to think all the themes can seamless transition to each other... (exception of song of hope unfortunately) prob one of the best soundtracks of any game this year tbh
It makes sense in a way, the final boss, and Agnea's story as a whole had a different tone the others, a narcistic celebrity is a lot lower on the evil scale than an immortal crime boss involved in a conspiracy to bring about the end of the world or a borderline demonic warlord
Temenos's is absolutely my favorite, both because of how well it meshes with For the Dawn and also just because it fits Kaldena's mutated form _wonderfully._ It feels perfectly _demented_ to match her twisted, Dancer-of-the-Boreal-Valley-lookin' figure
Well, technically Agnea's shouldn't be included here. She doesn't have a "Journey for X Ends" theme but instead she gets Song of Hope. The journey for hope is neverending, because she's not set out to obtain it but to spread it.
Every theme is amazing to my ears because they all convey a completely different message and make you feel a different emotion. Legends Ends: I’m so sorry about this, but I hope in another life we can be friends again! Memories Ends: I carry the souls of my friends in my heart, and I swear to save everyone by stopping this madness! Truth Ends: I have finally uncovered the truth, and it is more horrendous than I ever imagined…but I will bring it to light regardless! Revenge Ends: This ends here and NOW. Happiness Ends: I don’t know what’s going to happen, all I know is I’m never going to stop helping those who need help! Song of Hope: No matter how many times I fall, I will always rise. To see smiles on everyone’s faces is worth the pain. That’s what it means to be a star! Freedom Ends: I killed so many for this, including the ones I held dear. I will be no one’s thief anymore. From now on, I WILL be free! Kingship End: My nature is not defined by my upbringing; it is from my choices, and I choose to end this bloodshed!
I doubt it was random to put H warrior class at the end. The theme saying kingship and friendship so like saying "all together lets end this" . Each theme is telling their story and like all combined to one where Hikari is coming the last and giving them the hope and the strength of unity.
A lot of these videos have comments that complain about how Song of Hope doesn’t fit along with all the other themes. I actually love Song of Hope and I think it’s just as wonderful as The Journey for Everything Else Ends. This video transitions into Song of Hope from The Journey for Happiness Ends and from Song of Hope to The Journey for Freedom Ends nicely
Even though Agnea had my least favourite of the stories, the chapter 5 was insanely cool. The music works so well. It was also the first final chapter I did so the fight was legitimately hard for me. I loved it.
Oswald was the weakest for me. Funny, because his C1/2 were so good, but then... Nothing special until the last one. He is a good character, but his journey didn't do well for me. Agnea on the other hand, had a pure touch and maybe I liked because I'm an artist as well and found relatable points. Had good messages
Castti's final boss is probably my fav because *SPOILER* they used the purple rain (max hp poison) really well. Best theme I think goes to Temenos or Hikari. Temenos because the tempo goes wild for some reason and Hikari because it felt so grand. The music is an overall improvement from OT 1 which I thought wasn't possible, the bar was set VERY HIGH already.
Even the true Villains spell out Octopath, its a thing they do in every Octopath game. Both the Heroes and the Villains will have names that put in order spell out Octopath because both the heroes and villains are Octopath travelers.
Wasn't expecting that octopath traveler will exceed the previous one in themes and gameplay. It was so enjoyable, deep stories and amazing characters. Ost make it way way way enjoyable. Thanks for the upload man
Amazing work, getting the transitions to be so seamless. Wehn I first realised every character had their own theme mixed into For the Dawn, I knew it wouldn't be long until somebody went ahead and combined them all into one track. Though I do think that a version where For the Dawn plays for one loop between each part would also be really neat.
The music alone brings this game another level of enjoyment. It adds character (especially personality to each of the cast), energy, suspense-- everything.
Dang, most of them flow together incredibly well, that aside...am I the only one who thinks Temenos' final boss looks a bit like the Dancer of Boreal Valley?
Whenever I fought the bosses, even though I was overleveled I tried to beat them with the main character of that story. The one one that actually gave me trouble was Castti's because I took too long. Throne's was the easiest, didn't even see the second form and he died after two counter attacks (set up on him foreverything else)
Castii's is easy if you have Drastic Measures and a Merchant in your party. Use a max BP harmful concoct and use all the debuffing items, have merchant donate BP back, debuff his defense(with a thief or something), buff Castii's attack(there are a few ways to do this), and....boom. Nuke.
@@optimaltt6070 Drastic Measures was so satisfying to use that I pretty much never took Castti off the party. By the time I got to everyone's end bosses, most of the fights ended in the *second or third turn with a "WITH THESE HANDS" followed by the boss getting cleaved in half and tapped for their remaining 1 hp after the mandatory story exchange.
Aside from this awesome soundtrack, the final boss of Ochette, Osvald, ans Agnea hits very differently. As soon as the soundtrack changes, you will get a brand new skill. I just wish the mechanic was applied to all of them.
Seen a lot of people more fond of the version without Song of Hope in there, but truth be told I love the flow from Agnea > Throne > Hikari just as much as the Castti > Temenos > Osvald > Partitio segment. And Ochette starting it off is also perfect. I just love everything about this.
Ochette, "because the first choice is always the most important" Casti, "because some people can't be save by common medicine" Themenos, "because the truth is always hidden behind the flame" Osvald, "because love is the only, and true magic" Partitio, "because the most valuable thing can be sold for 1 silver coin" Agnea, "because Hope is the most beautiful song" Throné, "because liberty is the key for all treasure" Hikari, "because you're not just blood, you're far more"
My favorites will be Hikari -> Osvald -> Temenos -> Partitio = Ochette. Especially Hikari and Osvald, their theme combine with their story has the heavy "It finally comes down to this, the showdown. For all that had happened, the path that cross between you and me, it shall ends right here right now." and it super epic. I guess it's because their final boss are the one who they knew from the start that they swear to defeat. Honor mentions: Temenos: I just love his theme combine his personality and his detective story vibe. Partitio: passionate and stylish, his theme is really cool. Ochette&Castti&Throne: a different kind of epic, an end to the story as compare to Kiari and Osvald. Agnea: the most unique one with vocal, it's beautiful but not as dramatic as the others. But it's still very good.
@@atew8277 Well, if they kept they word they wouldn't since yours have a gameplay footage. Unless they take it down because the footage doesn't cover the whole video.
as cool as song of hope is, i kind of wish that there was an extra phase to the dolcinea fight where they could put the journey for applause ends. then again, it does make sense; dolcinea and agnea aren't actually fighting, so it fits better. doesn't change the fact that i want my cool version of agnea's theme
What I love is that the main villains for each hero, that when put in the same order as the heroes as OCTOPATH they spell HTAPOTCO its reverse just like saying the god's names in the reverse order brings misfortune. FYI the main villain isnt always the heroes' story final boss sometimes it is tho like Harvey for Osvald, but Mugen isnt for Hikari since he doesn't fit in the OCTOPATH order and isnt the true villain for Hikari
SPOILERS FOR LITERALLY THE ENTIRE GAME BELOW It works, but you have to switch Throné/Temenos and Osvald/Ochette compared to the official OCTOPATH order. Osvald/Harvey Castti/Trousseu Temenos/Arcanette Ochette/Petrichor Particio/Ori Agnea/Tanzy Throné/Claude Hikari/Oboro Yes, Squeenix made a mistake in the official order. Edited so people can hopefully actually see the spoiler warning before expanding the comment
My god the transitions where beautiful with the exception of Song of Hope but that makes sense lol, is there any chance you'll upload this vid without Agnea's? Overall the teansition made it seems all the themes were recorded in one take.
I did make a version without Agnea but I also swapped Temenos and Thrones parts since apparently it was in the wrong order: czcams.com/video/St6K75BBYL4/video.html
After listening to all of these, Hikari's is my favorite, but I feel like Ochette's feels the most natural. As in, it sounds the most like the rest of the soundtrack and if there was only one verison of this song, it would probably be hers.
@@Anonymous_Individual Is it because of the direction he's staring in? It's that, isn't it? From that spot, he's staring at Throne's ass(or trying hard to avoid staring at Temenos' ass)

Damn, never thought that would be sound bandass!!
I just realize that I skipped a phase in Throne's final chapter. Mother and Father never appeared. I was breaking the game at that point tho
Same - half my squad was over level 70 at that point 😅
Same, apparently Pirro, Marietta, and another version of Throné show up to fight as well.
Same
I one shot the boss with hikari. I was like "that all ? 🤨"
I made it until Pirro and Mother and Father, Marietta never appeared because I beat Claude before that
2:55 that is one of the coolest transitions I've ever seen
Imagine if Osvald and Partitio's crossed path had a boss fight that combined their themes
Hikari’s theme just feels so powerful it’s my favorite one.
I doubt it was random to put H warrior class at the end. The theme saying kingship and friendship so like saying "all together lets end this" . Each theme is telling their story and like all combined to one where Hikari is coming the last and giving them the hope and the strength of unity.
Agnea truely a light in the darkest age❤❤
making hikari's the finale of them all makes more EXPLOSIVE than it already is. i fxking love this game's ost 😭
A lot of these videos have comments that complain about how Song of Hope doesn’t fit along with all the other themes.
I actually love Song of Hope and I think it’s just as wonderful as The Journey for Everything Else Ends.
This video transitions into Song of Hope from The Journey for Happiness Ends and from Song of Hope to The Journey for Freedom Ends nicely
Yeah I think most people find it jarring hearing sudden vocals kick in.
0:21 Ochette
0:56 Castti
1:31 Temenos
2:09 Osvald
2:56 Partitio
3:31 Agnea
4:09 Throné
4:44 Hikari
5:19 Regular theme
POP
Agnea translated is lamb lol
Temenos and thrones bro what the heck
*We are afraid*
*I was enthroned*
And worst of all
*L A M B*
@@derginadaydream can’t forget “Partition”
Castii soundtrack is so sad when that piano hit
Even though Agnea had my least favourite of the stories, the chapter 5 was insanely cool. The music works so well. It was also the first final chapter I did so the fight was legitimately hard for me. I loved it.
Oswald was the weakest for me. Funny, because his C1/2 were so good, but then... Nothing special until the last one. He is a good character, but his journey didn't do well for me.
Agnea on the other hand, had a pure touch and maybe I liked because I'm an artist as well and found relatable points. Had good messages
Hikari Section pops off so hard
Castti's final boss is probably my fav because *SPOILER* they used the purple rain (max hp poison) really well.
Best theme I think goes to Temenos or Hikari. Temenos because the tempo goes wild for some reason and Hikari because it felt so grand. The music is an overall improvement from OT 1 which I thought wasn't possible, the bar was set VERY HIGH already.
It’s cool how the order of the themes spells Octopath.
Ochette
Castti
Temenos
Osvald
Partittio
Agnea
Throne
Hikari
Even the true Villains spell out Octopath, its a thing they do in every Octopath game. Both the Heroes and the Villains will have names that put in order spell out Octopath because both the heroes and villains are Octopath travelers.
Wasn't expecting that octopath traveler will exceed the previous one in themes and gameplay. It was so enjoyable, deep stories and amazing characters. Ost make it way way way enjoyable. Thanks for the upload man
If I could I'd wipe my memory cause damn this game was awesome. Those surprise twists at the end.
That transition from throne to hikari were 👌👌
Amazing work, getting the transitions to be so seamless. Wehn I first realised every character had their own theme mixed into For the Dawn, I knew it wouldn't be long until somebody went ahead and combined them all into one track.
Though I do think that a version where For the Dawn plays for one loop between each part would also be really neat.
I think someone did that here:

I loved them all but be Hikari's song just has this epicness to it that feels so high stakes
I love these sorts of compilations. And this might just be my favourite one.
Also Hikari and Partitio's themes in this are the best.
Throné to hikari is just 👌perfect
Battle at journey ends and now The journey for everything ends, very very good job Yasunori Nishiki
The background for ochette's fight was stunning! My lord the transitions 🔥🔥
The music alone brings this game another level of enjoyment. It adds character (especially personality to each of the cast), energy, suspense-- everything.
Man Partitio's theme lights a fire in mah soooul.
Dang, most of them flow together incredibly well, that aside...am I the only one who thinks Temenos' final boss looks a bit like the Dancer of Boreal Valley?
Funnily enough someone had just commented that like a day ago
@@atew8277 Huh, guess I just missed it then, thanks for answering personally ATEW
My brother who's a backseat driver also said the same thing lol
Whenever I fought the bosses, even though I was overleveled I tried to beat them with the main character of that story. The one one that actually gave me trouble was Castti's because I took too long. Throne's was the easiest, didn't even see the second form and he died after two counter attacks (set up on him foreverything else)
Castii's is easy if you have Drastic Measures and a Merchant in your party. Use a max BP harmful concoct and use all the debuffing items, have merchant donate BP back, debuff his defense(with a thief or something), buff Castii's attack(there are a few ways to do this), and....boom. Nuke.
@@optimaltt6070 Drastic Measures was so satisfying to use that I pretty much never took Castti off the party. By the time I got to everyone's end bosses, most of the fights ended in the *second or third turn with a "WITH THESE HANDS" followed by the boss getting cleaved in half and tapped for their remaining 1 hp after the mandatory story exchange.
Love this soundtrack... My favorite parts here are Partitio's, Ochette's, Osvald's and Agnea's
It's fitting to have Hikari and Throne's themes back to back after playing the post-game
Gotta love that buildup to 5:30
Aside from this awesome soundtrack, the final boss of Ochette, Osvald, ans Agnea hits very differently. As soon as the soundtrack changes, you will get a brand new skill. I just wish the mechanic was applied to all of them.
Seen a lot of people more fond of the version without Song of Hope in there, but truth be told I love the flow from Agnea > Throne > Hikari just as much as the Castti > Temenos > Osvald > Partitio segment. And Ochette starting it off is also perfect.
I just love everything about this.
Really well done transitions man! I enjoyed this alot. Have a good day!
u did a amazing job, this is my favorite version of the final ch battle theme :D
HANDS DOWN BEST THEMES EVER💯💯💯💯
Oh you absolute king/queen, its so good
It's wonderful and epic game, the real final is emotive for the context and ambience!!! (And this Sound !WoW¡)
Ochette, "because the first choice is always the most important"
Casti, "because some people can't be save by common medicine"
Themenos, "because the truth is always hidden behind the flame"
Osvald, "because love is the only, and true magic"
Partitio, "because the most valuable thing can be sold for 1 silver coin"
Agnea, "because Hope is the most beautiful song"
Throné, "because liberty is the key for all treasure"
Hikari, "because you're not just blood, you're far more"
My favorites will be Hikari -> Osvald -> Temenos -> Partitio = Ochette.
Especially Hikari and Osvald, their theme combine with their story has the heavy "It finally comes down to this, the showdown. For all that had happened, the path that cross between you and me, it shall ends right here right now." and it super epic. I guess it's because their final boss are the one who they knew from the start that they swear to defeat.
Honor mentions:
Temenos: I just love his theme combine his personality and his detective story vibe.
Partitio: passionate and stylish, his theme is really cool.
Ochette&Castti&Throne: a different kind of epic, an end to the story as compare to Kiari and Osvald.
Agnea: the most unique one with vocal, it's beautiful but not as dramatic as the others. But it's still very good.
I dreamed with this today, thank you for making my dreams come true❤
ヒカリが一番好きなのでク国の運命を背負った兄弟喧嘩でヒカリのテーマがアレンジされたテーマ曲が彼の最終決戦に流れるのが熱かったです。
裏ボスのガルデラはまだですけど、もうⅢが待ち遠しいです。
I wish I could forget about this game just to play it again 😁
Amo este juego y todo lo que me hizo sentir mientras lo jugaba
Oh hey, the algorithm finally decided to work on your video. Congrats!
Yeah it did, I hope it's not a target for Square Enix now lol
@@atew8277 Well, if they kept they word they wouldn't since yours have a gameplay footage. Unless they take it down because the footage doesn't cover the whole video.
as cool as song of hope is, i kind of wish that there was an extra phase to the dolcinea fight where they could put the journey for applause ends. then again, it does make sense; dolcinea and agnea aren't actually fighting, so it fits better. doesn't change the fact that i want my cool version of agnea's theme
What I love is that the main villains for each hero, that when put in the same order as the heroes as OCTOPATH they spell HTAPOTCO its reverse just like saying the god's names in the reverse order brings misfortune. FYI the main villain isnt always the heroes' story final boss sometimes it is tho like Harvey for Osvald, but Mugen isnt for Hikari since he doesn't fit in the OCTOPATH order and isnt the true villain for Hikari
SPOILERS FOR LITERALLY THE ENTIRE GAME BELOW
It works, but you have to switch Throné/Temenos and Osvald/Ochette compared to the official OCTOPATH order.
Osvald/Harvey
Castti/Trousseu
Temenos/Arcanette
Ochette/Petrichor
Particio/Ori
Agnea/Tanzy
Throné/Claude
Hikari/Oboro
Yes, Squeenix made a mistake in the official order.
Edited so people can hopefully actually see the spoiler warning before expanding the comment
This is some galaxy brain anagram play
My god the transitions where beautiful with the exception of Song of Hope but that makes sense lol, is there any chance you'll upload this vid without Agnea's? Overall the teansition made it seems all the themes were recorded in one take.
I did make a version without Agnea but I also swapped Temenos and Thrones parts since apparently it was in the wrong order:
czcams.com/video/St6K75BBYL4/video.html
@@atew8277So, is this one the correct order or is it the one without Song of Hope?
@@stevepogue1124 it's the one without it
I followed every step as you showed in the video and i'm very surprised by how this hack works! Thank You!
Beautiful
This is so hype
Great video!!
Agnea's theme so good my god
アグネアの希望の歌が流れた時は思わず笑顔になって、同時に泣いてた
what a legend
You know, this does kind of make me wonder what The Journey for Hope Ends would have sounded like.
I want this medley to play in my funeral. It's just too beautiful
Ochette's, Throne's, Partitio's and Hikari's versions are my fav easily
agnea's theme makes me goosebumps
After listening to all of these, Hikari's is my favorite, but I feel like Ochette's feels the most natural. As in, it sounds the most like the rest of the soundtrack and if there was only one verison of this song, it would probably be hers.
My boy Partitio dead at the start!! Get him up!! Haha
The way song of hope cut in💀
And that's why I made a version without it lol
@@atew8277 Meanwhile, I love the song of hope :D
@@twilightlord9950it's a great song, it just doesn't sound like the rest.
4:56 goes so hard
I need to know where you can find the art at the start. Hikari seriously and solemnly carrying an adorable Octopuff is just.... *yes* .
noisypixel.net/octopath-traveler-ii-new-main-cast-art-famitsu/
@@atew8277 thank you!
I think Osvald is my favorite in that particular art because of his location. It’s hilarious.
@@Anonymous_Individual Is it because of the direction he's staring in? It's that, isn't it? From that spot, he's staring at Throne's ass(or trying hard to avoid staring at Temenos' ass)
I wish they were longer
I finally found this!
Almost everyone chooses the owl
Someone had been playing Fromsoft games when they were coming up with Kaldena's boss fight. Look at her and tell me you'd be surprised about fighting her in Bloodborne or Sekiro.
Mugen too.
Couple comments have said she looks like Dancer of the Boreal Valley. I can see the resemblance.
So when does the soundtrack for this game finally come out?!
