Octopath Traveler 0 Editions: Which One’s Worth Your Rupees?
Octopath Traveler 0 is coming, and if you’re like me—someone who loses sleep over whether the artbook is hardcover or not—you probably want to know what’s actually inside each edition. Preordering games has somehow become the new Sword of Damocles: one wrong move and you’re stuck with a $100 box of digital wallpaper. Let’s break it down, dungeon-crawler style.
Standard Edition: The Base Game With No Surprises
This is for sensible people. You get the game. No trinkets, no steelbook, just pure, unfiltered Octopath goodness. Grab it if you don’t care about artbooks or questionable statues collecting dust on your shelf.
- Physical or digital copy of Octopath Traveler 0
- Possibly a digital pre-order bonus (think: in-game item that’s obsolete by hour three)
Collector’s Edition: Where Wallets Go to Die
If you love the smell of new game merch in the morning, behold the Collector’s Edition. This one typically offers:
- The game (shocking, I know)
- An artbook with drawings so pretty you’ll actually wish it was longer
- Soundtrack CD or download code
- A commemorative coin, acrylic standee, or some other knickknack to flex on Instagram
These will sell out faster than you can say “JRPG inflation,” so preorder if your collector instincts outweigh your self-control.
Digital Deluxe: The Digital Paperweight
No shelf space? The Digital Deluxe Edition is here to digitally weigh you down:
- Base game + “deluxe” DLC (read: cosmetic items and maybe an EXP booster for the lazy or time-strapped)
- Digital artbook and soundtrack included in the download
Best for those who don’t collect physical stuff but still need to feel superior to Standard owners.
Where to Preorder
You can snag these editions at most big retailers or online directly from the publisher—just double-check availability in your region. Pro tip: Some retailers throw in exclusive pre-order bonuses, like bonus weapons or limited stickers. Prioritize according to your hierarchy of needs (gameplay, swag, sticker obsession).

What Should You Actually Buy?
If you want the game—just the game—get Standard. If you need merch to validate your RPG obsession, get Collector’s. If you want digital extras and don’t care about dusting, Deluxe is your guy. See? That wasn’t so hard.
Still undecided? Maybe just hoard your preorder cash for something explosive (explosive hypothetically, not literally—I’m not advocating for mail fraud). Either way, Octopath Traveler 0 preorder options are here, and at least you’ll know what you’re getting into before you surrender to FOMO.
