What to study
The HUD at its sparsest: one traveler, one small frog, a ribbon with two portraits on it. Early-game Octopath is this quiet, and the interface scales down to match — no panel is ever shown empty or greyed out, it simply is not there. Frame at 71.8s in the ESRB EN - Launch Trailer (Steam).

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.
