Song of Hope gives me goosebumps, probably my favorite track in the game. Although the end-game boss tracks like Those Who Deny the Dawn and Underworld Entity are equally amazing as well. The Octopath series soundtracks never disappoint!

Indeed! I am still blown away by the fact that the OST has over 130 tracks and over 5 hours of orchestral music such bliss for a fan like me
