Durand! I loved him when I only knew him for 40 minutes. Yay for screenshots!

Anyway, Durand is a great character! He's like, perfectly catered to me as a seafarer enjoyer. He was made in a lab to be for me.

I'd love to draw him more because he's really awesome. We need more seafarer Travelers!

"Off topic, but... I like this character, looks good."

I still wonder why they didn't share Hydone as well. They talked a little about OT1's eight and the Guardians of the Light, so hopefully they still have plans to do one more share. But currently, it feels like the forgot about Hydone.

I guess, we technically don't have some of Reime's info yet.

An update on #OctopathTraveler0! Traveler artworks!

Delitia, the Hunter
Esperre, the Apothecary
Goodwin, the Dancer

#OctopathTraveler #OctopathCotC

Splash art of Delitia from Octopath Traveler 0.

A hunter who grew up in the deserts of the Sunlands. She takes great pride in the clan she belongs to and wears a light traditional outfit. She is currently searching for her older brother who is next in line to be clan leader.

Splash art of Esperre from Octopath Traveler 0.

An apothecary who set off on a journey in order to save as many people as possible. He greatly respects his father who was also an accomplished apothecary, and studies every day in order to live up to that legacy.

Splash art of Goodwin from Octopath Traveler 0.

Both playwright and actor, he pursues fantastical stories abounding in adventure. He was driven out of the city of the arts due to artistic differences, and attempted to put on performances at sea, only to meet with a shipwreck. This experience inspired him to take up the name of Shipwreck King.

One fear is that the countdown to OT0 is going to be overcrowded with OT1 Main 8.

It isn't their game, they are basically there for fanservice or guests. I want to see the CotC characters such as the Guardians, Champions, or story characters. The OT0 original Travelers are good too, of course!

When we were having an presentation on anxiety and one of the participants started having an attack because it is an emotional topic for her, I hate that some participants did not understand why she got some upset.

Like that is WHY we are having this convo. It can be hard to talk about.

Thank you for the patience!

Names are loosely translated, we'll probably get news on them soon!

It took me bitching in order for us to get information on them.

I was right about Goodwin being an actor instead of a dancer specifically.

His description is great, he sounds so dumb. I am glad I at least have one seafarer like friend for Elletrix.

Preview of Goodwin from Octopath Traveler 0.

Both playwright and actor, he pursues fantastical stories abounding in adventure. He was driven out of the city of arts due to artistic differences, and attempted to put on performances at sea, only to meet with a shipwreck. This experience inspired him to take up the name of Shipwreck King.

The image reads:

A PPA Mini Collab

Octopuff Travelers for OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0'S release on December 4th, 2025... NOW OPEN!

The submit form will open August 25th, and run until December 3rd.
Let's see how many Octopuffs we can collect and share! (Limit per artist is 20 Octopuffs)

What you can do when drawing your Octopuff Travelers:

Please keep your submissions SFW, PPA is a place for all.

- Artwork and crafts is allowed.
- Use the designs from OT2 or CotC (examples below).
- Use pre-established designs from previous official art (examples provided).
- Design your Octopuff Travelers as your favourite Travelers from OT1, CotC, OT2, or OT0!
- Design your Octopuff Travelers as your original characters, or make some Octopuff OCs.
- Feel free to also change the colours of your Octopuffs to suit the design, for this collab, they do not always have to be orange.

Since Octopuffs are a simple shaped character design, the canvas size that is recommended is 1000x1000. Depending on how many are sent, I might have to resize them.

A collection of Octopuffs from various official arts from the Octopath Traveler series.

Please use them as inspiration to draw your own Octopuffs, or even draw some of these designs!

Haze, the Apothecary (ヘイズ)
Traveler 118

Drawn by Sillver_Envy

Instagram: www.instagram.com/sillver_envy/

#OctopathTraveler #OctopathCotC #OctopathTraveler2
#オクトラ大陸の覇者 #大陸の覇者アート

A full body drawing of Haze from Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. Haze was drawn by Sillver_Envy.

Haze's pose is standing tall with a fist raised upwards, and his other hand extended forwards in an inviting manner. The two hand positions show off the two sides of his methods in persuasion, the extended hand for the inviting tone he has, and the fist for the aggressive methods taken to those that resist. His expression has him with a open mouthed smile and a wink on his face.

Happy 3rd Anniversary to Haze! 🎉

Drawing Haze is interesting, because his sprite and art do not show much of the same thing. It was kind of like, having to really add in some of my own details based on what I can see, just to make it more unique.

ngl, the fact that people still believe that Ikusy does the art in CotC and now OT0 is actually kinda annoying.

Ikusy did a few pictures for both games, yes, but not everything. Not everything is finalized by Ikusy when Ikusy isn't even CotC or OT0's main artist, that's Kenta Kamada (UCMM).

I hate that it's Monday, OT0 comes out in 10 days, and we still haven't gotten information on all the Travelers.

Like, I'm glad we got art of the remaining four, but we don't even have their English names, or their descriptions yet.

And not to mention, we got their art through an indirect source.
