Trivia[]
- Barrad is erroneously called "Ballad" in The Art of Octopath Traveler 2016-2020. UCMM comments on his artwork, "I got so into depicting the ambiance that I forgot to draw Ballad's lower half. This piece was popular among the staff, and I feel like it gave us a new way to look at the characters."[1]
