Hikari, the Warrior - Octopath Traveler 2 pre-release Cover

[@AT-qm8gv]

All of the character themes were not only amazing but fit the characters themselves perfectly. Very difficult to pull off.

[@camedark_vods]

this song speaks a warrior’s honor. like any samurai film

[@Follower_Of_The_Onions]

I dk why....i can hear Hikari shouting....MIOOOOO MIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......nooo....your flame clock....MIOOOOOO

[@GodofDumps]

Thought the same

[@zetarhythm3503]

It's the hair, the expression, the red upper clothing, and the sword

[@lewis9s]

This is incredibly convincing to the point where you’d think it’s the real thing, nice stuff!

[@Cadred]

I'm really glad I got close :D thank you!

[@mana-vw1fp]

I WAS convinced it was the real thing, I thought it was a reupload

[@quentinbrown9300]

I mean, save for the Erhu being less pronounced compared to the original, it sounds almost exactly the same.

[@IsraelLlerena]

Amazing cover. you definitely did this song justice

[@Fear_85]

im so hyped

[@kiriyalwasp]

My thoughts when first finding this video: This is really good! Why can't i find the other traveler themes though? (Reads description) Oh... that's VERY impressive!

[@LEBARDELOST]

How is it even possible to create such an epic song like this one.

[@garinwahyu8864]

Cahya Nur Hikari ~~

[@MHMistol]

I just recently found the TGS clip with this theme, hearing this cover got me hyped again!

[@natsumehy23]

The music drained me into an epic far eastern fantasy world, just like The Twelve Kingdoms. I love the settings.

[@viip2540]

Holy smokes Cadred with another W

[@Cadred]

Thank you Vip!

[@MrRaui]

"I didn't come here to pray. I came here to remember. To remember the friends who gave their lives on the altar of our mission." You did the theme justice!

[@Cadred]

Thank you Sir!

[@TheImperiumofLeaf]

Amazing work

[@matthieumonray693]

Dude i just hear the decisive battle 2 theme it was a banger, definetely better than the one who know who was already better.

[@dumbknight3155]

Such a good cover, I'm impressed! Good job

[@mugen8studios]

So inspiring!

[@MorgenTauRecordsNew]

Das ist so schön ♡

[@giragira9509]

This is so good! Well done. You are very talented!

[@eligamerman]

Beautiful recreation 🔥 This game is gonna be incredible!

[@pattonramming1988]

Anyone else have Hikari as their main?

[@jackripple5179]

Probably me.

[@quentinbrown9300]

He's the best one to start with, as his 1st chapter ends with him resolving to find allies to aid in his fight, giving a seriously compelling motivation for him to seek out the other travellers and making the game feel like one big story with him as the main character.

[@crabionesmargonezz]

not me but he would be really good as a main

[@TheBladehero22]

Me. Hikari is my main, and he is a great protagonist.

[@hsinyuchien6568]

I had Temenos

[@brylosafuriosa]

i actually slightly prefer this to the ridiculously amazing original, it feels a bit more deep and honorable

[@rynsart]

[@slagathor91]

Where did you find this track? Is it buried in the trailer?

[@Cadred]

The first section is in the announcement trailer and for the second part I used the motif from hikaris battle track Intro showcased at the TGS

[@kainingyao7873]

This theme sounds like something that would be fit the soundtrack of Legend of Korra.

[@nicogalax]

Yooo it's exactly the same

[@murumo-S-waltz]

ヒカリくん推し💕

[@teodoris7880]

You forgot the flute though...

[@Cadred]

the flute is only featured in hikari's battle transition theme 😅at least that's how I remember it

[@e.c7667]

Is this based on Japan, Korea or China? I know the Japanese made this game, but is the setting of Hakari Japanese?

[@Cadred]

That's actually a good question I would've said japanese based on the katana amongst other things but I haven't really looked into it

[@MineNAdventurer]

I'm fairly sure it's japanese since the sword he uses is a Katana and not a Geom, Jian, or Dao and although there are other Korean and Chinese swords the later didn't look like katanas and the former adopted katanas during the Ming Dynasty and from what I looked up they didn't have the same hilt.

[@richardgaotama3466]

My prediction is that the region Hikari is from is combination of Japan and China. Weapon wise, it seems to be mostly Japan with Katana and i think Naginata in the gameplay trailer, in terms of architechture it is China inspired with fortress city, the castle that have Chinese style throne room (Japanese emperor dont really have a big throne room in my opinion at least until Meiji restoration, since Japanese emperors do not have political power for most of Japan history before Meiji restoration, even after Meiji, the throne room is Western inspired rather than Japanese or Chinese design) and thr castle also use colour palletes that morr commonly used by the Chinese such as red for interior (Japanese colour pallete tend to be more neutral, such as white or woody colour). I also notice that the clothing and hairstyle could be a mix with a little lean on Chinese (Japanese hairstyle at least for edo period which is tend to be a popular base for feudal Japan portrayal are not commonly like Hikari, although its not impossible that it exist)

[@yep8058]

It's based on Japanese culture throughout, but some enemies in Chapter 1 are inspired by Mongolians. It becomes more obvious at the end of his story.

[@pattonramming1988]

Hikari's homeland seems to be modeled after ancient western China

[@omegalul4222]

In my opinion, hikari story is better than ffxvi story
