With Project Triangle Strategy from Square Enix getting all the hype recently from the last Nintendo Direct, I thought now would be a good time to share a bombastic solo piano arrangement of the iconic Decisive Battle 2 from Octopath Traveler!

Time for another track from the DS back-catalog of things I could've posted last year but never got around to! This track was originally written for the Materia Collective album "FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute to Octopath Traveler" (link above to stream/download). I'm super happy to get to be onboard this amazing album of top-tier arrangements, and extra honored to be able to cover this iconic track. Translating full orchestra + drum set to solo piano was a daunting task, but I'm really proud of this arrangement. While a lot of it is heavy and powerful left-hand shenanigans combined with frantic right-hand lines, I wanted to balance it with some delicate lines here and there to give it some nuance too.
First of all, I'm terribly sorry that this is just a Synthesia video rather than a full performance. However, there's some funny stories behind that: Originally this arrangement was meant for string quartet and piano, and I had recorded my piano part with video just fine. However, the strings had some issues and couldn't record just before the deadline for the album hit, so I had to flip this on a dime into a solo piano arrangement and get a recording out quickly. Therefore, I only have MIDI and audio for this track. However, if enough of y'all are interested then I could try to muster up another string section to get the full version of this up on Youtube one day!
Finally glad I got to cover this track, been wanting to put this on Youtube for years. Unfortunately won't have a DS Dissects for this track due to schedule issues, but if you all want to see one later then let me know in the comments below! Once again, be sure to check out the full album "FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute to Octopath Traveler" (link above).
Your pianist,
DS
