Trivia[]
- The price to restore reputation in Montwise is 4,500 leaves.
- Montwise is Octopath Traveler II's equivalent to Atlasdam, as both towns serve as the academic centers of their games and contain a prominent library. The griffins and king's heads carved into Montwise's library walls are heavily reminiscent of those that appear on Atlasdam's library.
- Montwise also shares the spirit of Victors Hollow, as both towns contain an arena that serves as the setting of each game's Warrior protagonist.
- The theme "Home of Wisdom and the Arts" track was listed on Yasunori Nishiki's order as “Mountain Town B: Library.” He received this description along with some video of the Montwise library, which he used as his inspiration as he composed. As the piece's title indicates, the library houses the treasury of wisdom and knowledge handed down by generation after generation of Solistia’s people, so he worked to express both a solemn feel and a sense of profundity evoking that history. The harpsichord is strongly associated with baroque court music, making it useful as a clear and iconic instrument for conveying a sense of solemn stateliness.[1]
