- "Shall we sing of the wondrous evenings in Cropdale?" —Minstrel at the village entrance
Cropdale is a town in Octopath Traveler II. This idyllic Leaflands village is Agnea's hometown and is the setting of her Chapter 1.
According to the Mercantile Manuscript, the small village of Cropdale is famous for its raspberries and peaches, and its fruit pies are widely known to be especially scrumptious. That being said, this rural settlement has an abundance of peach-centric cuisine: peach jam, peach juice, peach salad, peach soup, sautéed peach, fried peach, peach pilaf, steamed peach... to name just a few. Some might say Cropdale has an overabundance of peach dishes, but that's simply because the locals just can't decide on a favorite!

- The price to restore reputation in Cropdale in 2,250 leaves.
- An unknown number of years ago, Cropdale was ravaged by a rampaging duorduor. All of the townspeople had to band together in order to drive it away.
- The Minstrel living in Cropdale is secretly a spy for the king in Timberain, working undercover to monitor the villages' opinion of their monarch.

- Cropdale is one of six towns in Octopath Traveler II that has a unique theme not repeated in other towns, the others being Oresrush, Roque Island, Flamechurch, Tropu'hopu, and Ku.
- One minor exception is that Cropdale's theme is temporarily played in Healeaks (later the Abandoned Village) during a flashback in Castti's third chapter.
- When composing "Cropdale, Village at Peace," Yasunori Nishiki focused on the idea that Agnea’s home village is as peaceful and warm as the people who live there, the kind of place a person would recall with a pang of longing every so often. Like Agnea's theme, Cropdale's theme uses Celtic music as a motif, with the instruments carrying a warm sound that evokes nostalgia for home. Agnea comes to the big city aiming to become a star, but despite her cheerful nature she surely experiences setbacks and loneliness, so he figured that the warmer the vistas of her homeland were, the more wistful she’d feel remembering them.[1]
- Nishiki is especially attached to the title of "Cropdale, Village at Peace." He chose the phrase “at peace” specifically to emphasize the theme's wistfulness.[2]
