* The music used during the final boss, titled "Vide, the Wicked" and "Those Who Deny The Dawn", features an operatic tenor and escalates into an absolutely epic symphonic metal track reminiscent of [[https://youtu.be/bMfvZmhqW0A God-Shattering Star]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses''. It easily stands just as tall, if not taller, than "The One They Call the Witch" and "Daughter of the Dark God" from the first game. The comparisons between Those Who Deny the Dawn and God Shattering Star are not a coincidence. The same opera vocalist was involved in both.

* The music used during the final boss, titled "Vide, the Wicked" and "Those Who Deny The Dawn", features an operatic tenor and escalates into an absolutely epic rock aria reminiscent of [[https://youtu.be/bMfvZmhqW0A God-Shattering Star]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses''. It easily stands just as tall, if not taller, than "The One They Call the Witch" and "Daughter of the Dark God" from the first game.

* "Torrent of Evil", which plays during moments that shine the spotlight on villains such as Harvey and General Mugen, serves to exemplify them as the absolute monsters in human skin that they are, complete with OminousLatinChanting to hype up how wicked they are.

* Optional bosses, [[spoiler: Ritsu and Hikari's curse in Hikari's Chapter 5, as well as Grotesque Monster and Arcanette in Final Chapter]] have a new. unique battle theme "Fierce Confrontation" instead of using other normal battle themes or boss battle themes. It's a very intense theme that fits the bosses' powerful and/or threatening nature perfectly.

* "Tempest on the Battlefield" is a tense but also very courageous theme that plays in situations where you are braving through the enemy forces. Specifically, it plays in Ochette's chapter 3 when she and her companions fight their way through shadow creatures in Summit of Strife, as well as Hikari's chapter 5 when he and his friends force their ways into Ku and fight the soldiers there.

* Caits, the MetalSlime of ''Octopath Traveler'', have their own encounter theme: a bouncy and mischievous theme for clarinet that sums up the sneaky cats quite well.

** And the normal town themes of the Crestlands is "Home of Wisdom and the Arts" capturing a somewhat aristocratic yet nostalgic and whimsical feel.

* Flamechurch's theme, "Flamechurch, Sacred Light" is a lovely and peaceful theme for the starting town of the team's cleric, but what elevates it to truly amazing is that, if one listens to the melody, it's almost identical to the theme of Flamesgrace in the [[VideoGame/OctopathTraveler first game]], making it an excellent ShoutOut to its predecessor!

* Each character once again has a unique {{Leitmotif}} that suits them perfectly, and which sounds ''amazing''. This then gets added to their final chapter boss themes to make each struggle more personal.
** Ochette, The Hunter has a persistent drumbeat and flute that give the theme a distinctly [[BuffySpeak nature-y]] vibe.
** Castti, The Apothecary is an incredibly wistful piece, with a slow tempo and melancholy woodwinds that fully embody the air of trying to remember something that colors Castti's story.
** Throné, The Thief is dark and dramatic, with heavy violin instrumentation and a driving tempo that hint at her grim determination.
** Osvald, The Scholar is slow and dramatic, with an oppressive cello playing the melody to showcase how heavy his quest for revenge is.
** Partitio, The Merchant manages to be both intense and easygoing, with electric guitars and saxophones to emphasize both his personality and the modernity of his storyline.
** Agnea, The Dancer is extremely lighthearted and hopeful-sounding, with a fiddle and flute to emphasize her upbeat personality and big dreams. Unlike the others, her final chapter boss theme isn't a remix of "For The Dawn", but rather, an even more intense version of her usual theme, called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3WB7jBmvGw "Song of Hope"]].
** Temenos, The Cleric wouldn't sound out of place in a film noir, with a slinky back-alley sound that fits the intrigue in his storyline and his own sly personality to a T.
** Hikari, The Warrior utilizes Asian instruments to fit his homeland's aesthetic, and adds a dramatic and magnificent sound reminiscent of fellow warrior Olberic's theme to boot.
** The Final Battle theme: For the Dawn and as the battle progresses depending on the story uses riffs from the theme of the character whose final boss you are fighting. Agnea however has her own track called Song of Hope which is a rearrangement of her theme complete with lyrics.
* Caits, the MetalSlime of ''Octopath Traveler'', have their own theme that plays when they're encountered: a bouncy and mischievous theme for clarinet that sum up the sneaky cats quite well.

Yasunori Mitsuda has done it for a third time, giving us an OST that is just as good, if not better, than its predecessors.

* Both standard boss themes, "Critical Clash I" and "Critical Clash II", build off of their predecessors in the first game, with "Critical Clash II" in particular perhaps not dropping as hard, but sounding even more desperate and playing during suitably important boss fights.
