The first time I walked into the small town composed of pixels, I was stunned by the music in my ear. The simple ding-dong of the music box gradually transformed into rich string music, just like the black-and-white picture suddenly became colorful. This is the sound magic of _Octopath Traveler_ which makes the retro pixel world have the soul of modern symphony.

I remember that in the snowy town, the music was as light as falling snowflakes. The sound of the piano fell sparsely, and the string music hummed gently in the distance. Obviously, the picture was just a simple pixel point, but I seemed to really feel the bone-chilling cold wind. The most wonderful thing is that when I walked into the pub, the music suddenly became warm, just like pushing the door open and really felt the temperature of the fire.

Every traveler has his own melody. The theme of the priest Ophelia is as holy as the bell of the church, the melody of the merchant Teresa is as free as the sea breeze, and the music of the scholar Silas is like the rustling sound of turning pages. These musics are not just the background, they become the other face of the characters.

I will never forget that night. In the ancient ruins, the theme music of eight travelers was intertwined for the first time. It’s obviously a different melody, but it’s so harmonious that we should have met long ago. At that moment, I suddenly understood that these lonely travelers were destined to be each other’s stars.

The music during the battle is even more exciting. At the beginning, it is a classic electronic sound, which reminds people of the old-fashioned game console. But with the fierce battle, the orchestra gradually joined in, and the drum beat became more and more urgent, like the heartbeat was accelerating. Once in the face of a strong enemy, the music was so tense that my palms sweated, but the triumphant song sounded when I won made me couldn’t help cheering.

On a rainy day after clearing the level, I turned on the game soundtrack again. When the theme of Ophelia sounded, all those adventurous memories came to my mind. It turns out that the best game music is not for listening, but for remembering.

If you also want your ears to experience a journey through time and space, _Octopath Traveler_ will give you the warmest companion. Here, every pixel is singing and every note is glowing.
