<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/octopath-traveler/">Octopath Traveler</a>'s box art celebrates the eight-person traveling troupe in its entirety, but if you find yourself especially fond of one character, Nintendo has provided additional box art you can use instead. The box art is limited to North America.</p><p>There are eight designs in total, one for each main character. All eight box arts can be <a href="https://my.nintendo.com/rewards/83df80de16f0f75c">downloaded</a> from My Nintendo for 50 Platinum Points. You can buy them right now. They'll remain on My Nintendo through the rest of 2018 if you'd rather wait until after you've beaten the game though.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3413609-boxes%21.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3413609" data-ratio="1" data-width="880" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 880px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3413609-boxes%21.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3413609-boxes%21.jpg" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1587/15875866/3413609-boxes%21.jpg 880w" sizes="(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px" data-width="880"></a></figure><p>Don't worry, Platinum Points aren't related to Nintendo's Gold premium currency.

The promise of new jobs, exciting boss fights, and powerful gear will inspire you to poke around every corner, and there are no shortage of discoveries to strive for. And all the while, you're treated to one of the most interesting and effective re-imaginings of a retro aesthetic around. Octopath will likely be a divisive game due to its fractured storytelling, but it's one worth playing despite its lesser qualities. Its high points are simply too good to ignore."</p>
