What to study
A boss with adds, and the shield rows do the encounter design: the boss carries 4, each guard 1, and every weakness is still '?', so the opening moves are scouting. The Summon label is the only text on the battlefield besides the HUD. Frame at 62.3s 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.
