What to study
The basic Attack as a design object: the multi-hit lands as three identical 58s in the game's serif numerals, stacked over the enemy, while the shield underneath shows the dagger weakness already revealed. Damage numbers are the feedback for the Break loop, and here they are the whole point of the frame. Frame at 78.4s in the ESRB EN - Launch Trailer (Steam). Flaw: the enemy is partly hidden behind the slash flash and the frame carries mild chromatic-aberration fringing from the Break effect.

No OCTOPATH TRAVELER (2018) video/image posting guideline found (two web searches, 2026-11-06). Square Enix publishes per-title guidelines; the nearest sibling, OCTOPATH TRAVELER II Guidelines for livestreaming and posting videos/images (https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/documents/octopath-traveler-ii-guidelines-for-livestreaming-and-posting-videos-images), permits personal non-commercial use only — no commercial or for-profit use, no use under a corporate body name, no cutscene-only content, with the legal line '© 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.' and spoiler warnings for major story points. An ad-supported gallery is arguably outside that personal-use grant, so no Square Enix permission is claimed. Fallback: keeper frames are stills from the official Steam trailers, unofficial, not endorsed, takedown honoured within 48h. All 13 keepers are gameplay HUD, none are cutscenes.
