Trivia[]
- Upon completing the Prologue, the Orsterra Chapter's main screen turns black and the blue flame is replaced by the black flame. After Chapter VI, the flame disappears, leaving a white screen, until chapter VIII, where the black screen and the purpleish flame -symbolizing the fusion of both the sacred and the accursed flames- appear. The main screen returns to normal when completing the chapter.
- The Postscript chapters were released after the v2.14. As the developers already confirmed Octopath Traveler 0 is going to cover the story content up to said version, it's likely this epilogue is going to be omitted in the main game.[1]
