[@yukishiro3287]

That's an interesting thing to think, but first of all, I don't think it's Eden elder, but rather the corrupted king. Second, the ruler is actually a sky child himself: it's original ruler is a prince and if you check the photos of the prince, he looks rather like a sky kid and wears the mask of the prophecy emblem. The king became a total different person, but was still the prince in his heart. He represents Eden.

Sky is much more playful and open, but journey is *gorgeous*. I loved the comparison between between them!

[@mateamatic8360]

yes yes thisss!!! I have the same view as you, when i play Journey, it really strikes a cord in my heart and raises goosbumps on my arm, its majestic and its lesson makes me cry and ponder on its message for weeks, months even. Sky to me is like Journey, but in-training haha. It has the same message as journey but feeds it to you in bite size pieces so you can easier digest it

[@ryuudevie7]

@@mateamatic8360 Exactly! Sometimes Journey feels to Sky what the council feels like to the traveller. Its another could have been, another infinite cycle in a ruined land, but you stand in your brightly decked out sky outfit and look up at the simple red cloak and the long trailing scarf and just sort of think 'I will never manage to be what you were to us'.

[@yukishiro3287]

I actually agree on the fact that Journey's message is easier to understand since they convey everything in drawings. Sky also convey the same message, but the story is very dramatic, complicated and often not clear. I never played Journey but seeing other people playing, I understood the story from the very start. While playingSky, I did not understand a single thing on the cutscenes and what the spirits memories are telling. It took about a year to finally understand some contents of Sky, which is so complicated that I could write a novel about it.

[@yukishiro3287]

@@mateamatic8360 Journey is easier to understand, but Sky is not Journey-in-training to me. The lore got super complicated.

[@VwoprVwoprVworp]

I actually really prefer the interactions with other players in Journey tbh. Learning to communicate with a complete stranger without being able to use words is so beautiful to me, and has a lot of potential for very emotionally touching moments with people. Not that you can’t do that in Sky too, but where Journey is very much focused on the journey itself in every single playthrough, Sky can lose that magic very quickly after the first play through and then kinda just turns into a game about doing chores to buy clothes. To be clear, I am absolutely one of the people doing chores to buy clothes. Also I am biased towards cello music.

[@Zasha_AZ]

So true! Im all for making friends but Journey was more touching than sky in that aspect. It felt like a loss world and that you and the other traveler are the only ones alive along the journey. And the music im all for Austin Wintory 😂😂

[@blueclover8044]

Fr honestly Journey music is so good! I listen to it all the time when I can

[@croatoansounds]

Unrelated a bit but, since you mentioned first play through, did you finish that final level in sky easily your first time? The volcano, flying rocks/wind, where you have to agree to complete it before being able to venture elsewhere? I’m really curious what others experiences were haha. I made it there and agreed without really fully knowing what I was doing, and got killed, then had to respawn everytime there with essentially nothing, no wings even, so I couldn’t EVER beat it. Somehow a week or two later, a person I had friended LONG before finished the game, and I guess that gave me a win there too? Or the game lets you beat that level after X number of deaths/fails? I still am not sure. I logged in, found myself dead and respawned at my body (not beginning of the level) and then it just started loading, and I got to do the whole ending in space.

[@Broeckchen]

My personal theory is that it actually feels like a chore because you get rewarded more directly. Like... Journey doesn't make you collect and trade anything. It only tracks and mirrors your progress. All you constantly feel is the immediate feedback of becoming more senior and experienced. But Sky frames more of its tasks as something to do for a reward, which you can then spend on object that don't just display seniority or prestige, but also serve personal expression. So Journey puts a ladder in front of you and goes "we're gonna mark how high you got on the ladder, and you can always learn to get higher up!" While Sky says "unless you get this high on the ladder, you can't get this very individual thing yet". It feels very different.

[@natalia-fm]

Yess, I wish both games had more content, because I remember finishing all Sky content in a few days (I'm not very interested in the social aspect, neither in buying things lol) and Journey took me like 2 hours. Really a shame

[@Razeacc]

Just in case people get the wrong idea, Sky was made by TGC after Journey. People wanted to play Journey with their friends, so TGC just made a whole new game: Sky. You can play with friends, make new friends, and customize your Sky kid a ton. They took a lot of stuff they learned from Journey and applied it to Sky

When TGC announced Sky, I expected references to their other games, but I didnt expect this many. I noticed a large amount of comparisons of Journey and Sky. Here we go!: Both characters can fly Both characters can call Both characters meditate at the end of every realm Both characters collect light power in some way Both characters have a cape or cloak of some sort Both games involve journeying to a large "thing" in the distance The entrance to Prairie, from Isle, is shaped extremely similarly to the mountain in Journey There are 7 realms in both games Vault is extremely similar to the second-to-last realm of Journey Both games have mantas, jellyfish, and whales Krill and Guardians have the exact same mechanics Both games involve rebirth and represent the story of life Both games have 6 elder-like beings Whoo!! That's a lot. My theory is, Journey is the past world of Sky, while Sky is the future. Either that or TGC just...likes making references to other games. Extra bonus reference: In the area by the 8 player door, there is a flower which blooms when you get close. This is a direct easter egg to TGC's other game, Flower. ADDITION I THOUGHT OF AFTERWARDS (SPOILER ALERT!!!): When you fly up to Orbit, the tunnel with the windows that you go through before ascending is most definitely a nudge to the hallway you encounter while skating in Journey. They both go in the same direction and have large windows along the side, and have a beautiful view.

[@yukishiro3287]

To correct you, there are 7 realms in both games

[@yukishiro3287]

About your theory, it actually couldn't match well: how did a world of deserts and sand turn into a world where you find clouds? How did the red cloth transform into light and fire? How did all of the sudden all the people who died came back to life or how was there so many sky kids created?

I watched people playing Journey and maybe it's because I didn't feel it, but I don't feel like being watched. I felt like everything looks normal, just like how I see in the last cutscene where we see all the elders gathered and watching our journey before embarking to Eden. My thoery is that in Journey, the mission of the Traveler is to reach the highest point of the mountain, return where they originally belong and then reforming this cycle from birth to death and death to birth. The ancestors are watching from above to see your efforts through the Journey and help you in the end. On the other hand, the sky child, to me, is like a savior who, by collecting the winged lights, is collecting the souls of the lost ones and return them to the stoned sky children who died there. The sky chiild id one to sacrifice for the greater good. In the end, the sky child helps the light child, although the sky child had no more power and even hugs him. Seeing the act of the sky child, the light child gives his light to the sky child who then restored its power. That is what had touched me more. On Sky, it is true that we are independant, but the warmth I feel also comes from the seasons in Sky and meeting new people with whom I chat with. I enjoyed my journey on Sky somuch that I was pratically addicted to it. You can have another opinion from me, but that's I think of from the two games.

Part of what made Journey so special was that I and many others bought it thinking it was a single-player experience, and then being blown away when we realized those NPCs weren't actually NPCs. And it being just you and one other max made it really personal and beautiful. Sky has it's own charm, and Eden and Orbit blew Journey away IMO. But Journey will always hold a special place in my heart because of how pure it is. Sky, although totally fair to F2P, does use some predatory tactics that taint the purity of the experience (hiding cost of items, intentionally making it hard to plan what you want to spend your hearts and candles on, FOMO, etc). This is nothing compared to some gatchas, mind you. But it is there. But I mean seriously, as a business move, Sky is pretty damn genius overall, and it still does feel like the spiritual successor to Journey despite the small amount of predatory tactics that just come with the territory of making the game free.

By doing so, he and the other Sky kids who died in Eden return to the stars. The Sky kid is actually stonger than the Traveler in my opinion.

yknow, when I first played the first sky release, i really felt my soul in peace. As a moth back then, when i saw everything, it looked so relaxing, especially the guides makes me feel nostalgic... As a veteran in sky now, i miss every single memory back when i was a moth, and now.. i think sky is rather a funny game and friendly game, but in my memory, it just won't come off. the graphics probably was the reason why it was so relaxing and nostalgic for the first time playing sky💀💀

[@croatoansounds]

My first time in Sky was similar, I made it all the way to that sunken ship/dark beach area with those evil crab things before even realizing that you COULD take damage haha. When I replayed previous zones (after realizing I had to in order to free more of those souls), I then discovered that in the forest area (second zone I think?) the cold rain damaged you too, and you had to get to a candle to refill. Somehow I just sort of flew and frolicked my initial play through without taking enough damage to ever notice it happening hahah. Once I realized that, it wasn’t less fun but definitely stopped me from just flying around and being visually stunned as now I knew there were stakes hehe

[@kenlen8029]

Journey blew my mind when I first played it. I hope people still play that game so I can journey with them sometime. Sky is nice but at times it feels like a watered down kids' version with some social aspects and a bit of a grind to it. It's a nice world though and enjoyable if you just want to be in that relaxing environment exploring the areas. Some of the people I met shown me areas I didn't know existed which was nice of them. I didn't like how at times you need other people to help you do something as simple as opening certain doors but at the same time, it does leave a good feeling when strangers and Sky buddies are helping each other in that manner. I seen a few people complaining about the game but the reality is it is a FREE game and you can just spend some time there and delete it if you don't like it. There's much more to do and find than first seems and the end (Eden) is both extremely brutal and emotion stirring. I enjoy helping people through this section. It's a very strange game but worth checking out if you've got nothing better to do. It may seem too "campy" for some but I think the developers do this stuff very well. I'm a little conflicted on the game but it has certainly been worth trying out.

[@porque6699]

I havent watched nor played Journey, but I find it much more breathtaking while for Sky it was similar to Journey but in a way, you get to experience more into the world of Sky. Journey is the type of game that sends a message to the players about Life while Sky is similar except you get the chance to interact with other players and even chat with them, as well as it being more updated with new seasons and events ✨ Either way, both games are well done even tho for all the bugs and server pains I have to endure in Sky

[@yukishiro3287]

But you still have a chance to bring the Sky kingdom back in its original state. In Sky you also have emotes gained by looking through spirits' memories which talk about Sky. Sky and Journey are similar but also very different if you compare lores. Sky's lore is like watching an action movie.

[@gusanasart1061]

Sky is basically made from the concept art for Journey. They had a lot of ideas they didn't went along with Jorney because they decided to make it a more intimate game, which I really aprecciate, I love joruney and all the methaphores regarding human relations. But I also love Sky, it's the time of the day I take to relax and just farm and maybe meeting new players. Both work perfectly for the purpose they were made for.

[@jello1fishy]

both are a masterpiece from the same developers

Both game's not only share similar gameplay elements but also Powerful visual metaphors that speak truth about life and the journey to enlightenment.

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

Noticed the similarities since first playing it, also fromt there other games. It's like all there other games joined into one: Cloud, Flow, Flower and Journey, etc.

[@mckay7965]

I remember hearing someone say that sky is the culmination of everything thatgamecompany has done in the past. The inspirations from journey are obvious. One of their other games, flower features green, rolling hills, and an emphasis on natural beauty. Even their first game, flow, has a similar kind of collection system, where the longer you play and survive, the bigger you become, not unlike the winged light in sky. Seriously, this game easily makes it into my top 5, it's nothing short of therapeutic.

[@Broeckchen]

I think Thatgamecompany saw how people yearned to connect to their anonymous benefactors in Journey - and that's what they built Sky upon.

[@gowthamn5346]

Anna love you anna, real hero you are.... It is bcoz of you that I am surviving. Thank you so much Anna.🙏🙏

[@UnderTheSameSun693]

When you play both games, Journey first, you can really appreciate sky more playing for the first time. I believe Journey takes place in a post apocalyptic future. I also believe that the traveler in Journey is a monk, or Spiritual type person. It looks like religious garments for them, as their culture is very spiritual... It's sad to see how their world ends up in the future. Very sad. At some point in this universe, there was a civil war that destroyed everything.

[@jelly_fish_wishes]

Journey will forever be the original and better MVP. Yeah the ending of Sky was beautiful but it didn't hit the way Journey did. Both games are just as beautiful, i just love Journey more because the lack of communication is what made the game interesting. Sky DOES succeed at the customization but that's it. The death hits different in Journey. It wasn't as emotional in Sky. And the ending to Journey just felt more powerful compared to Sky where you just fly into "heaven" and are reborn. Eh. I don't hate Sky. I love the game. If i had to choose, I'd pick Journey.

Two completely different games, If both are similar, if the other doesn't meet your expectations then it doesn't mean it's not good, if the expectations didn't exist then it would have been a great game for you

[@dihydrogenmonoxide7600]

Is this confirmed? It makes sense, but I like to imagine their universes are spiritually connected somehow.

[@kahinkazarka1940]

(MIGHT BE SPOILER) in sky, there is a secret unused constellation menu out of bounds called "Star field memorial", and as far as i know there is an area in journey called Star field too, so it might mean that a crossover is coming.

[@xenxliskycotl]

I have a theory that could connect those two games together but I might be wrong. This could be a long prequel to sky, however there’s facts that don’t make sense but I’ll still explain. There’s a possibility that the journey’s main character is the vault elder. Crazy thought I know but that is possible because in the ending scene (afterlife) there are 6 spirits. Those 6 spirits COULD BE (not are): isle elder, daylight elder, forest elder, 2 valley elders and the wasteland elder. Yep that is 6 of them. It could also explain the fact that the vault elder has a broken mask (it’s not completely broken but you can see a tiny crack there). This game could be a prequel to sky. Krills are not as large as in journey which means the corruption was less powerful than in sky OR they were just baby krills I haven’t played journey tho but it’s my theory. Take it with a grain of salt tho, once again I love to theorize sky lore but I might be wrong in some ways. Edit 1: proof that journey could be a prequel of sky cotl is that the area at 4:43 is similar to the stairs that lead up to hermit valley Edit 2: vault elder’s mask/crown has a similar look to the “cape” in journey

"Sky" is a soulless clone of "Journey" that abuses the special thing about "Journey" - that strangers meet and experience a hero's journey together - to exploit children in the hope that they will put real money into the game for "magical moments", moments that were free in "Journey". The true - spiritual - successors to "Journey" are "Abzu" and "The Pathless" by former employees of the "Journey" team who wanted nothing to do with "Sky".
