50 free Octopath Traveler trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Octopath Traveler did something few role-playing games dare: it handed players eight separate heroes, each with a job, a hometown and a personal story, and let them choose where to begin. Its sprite-and-diorama look made it one of the most recognisable RPGs of its generation, and a sequel and two prequels have kept the cast-of-eight idea going. This quiz covers the whole series. Expect questions on the travelers of both mainline games, from vengeful nobles and runaway princes to healers and thieves, along with the villains scheming behind them. There are also questions on how battles work, how townspeople react to your party, and the people and studios who built the games. It is written for fans who have finished at least one of the games, though newcomers who know their classic RPGs will find plenty they can work out. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you will leave knowing a little more about the series than when you started.
