[@jacobmonks3722]

This game is definitely on my watchlist. Yasunori Mitsuda has never made a bad soundtrack, and the game gives off a lot of classic Square vibes.

[@rafaelc.c.]

Xenoblade Chonicles 1 and 2, Inazuma Eleven, Chrono Trigger and Cross, Xenogears, etc. This guy is a legend. It's absolutely incredible.

[@jacobmonks3722]

@@rafaelc.c. And Mario Party 1. Can't forget Mario Party 1.

[@rafaelc.c.]

@@jacobmonks3722 Wow, that's surprising, hehe. I didn't know that.

[@bullsteak3468]

Can’t forget xenosaga if you mention the other xeno games

[@rafaelc.c.]

@@bullsteak3468 Very true.

[@engvidAlex]

My nostalgia meter is fully charged. This looks and sounds beautiful.

[@ChozotheBozo]

The combat happening in the over world, the positioning of party members, the way enemies fade red when defeated. Yeah this is call back to Chrono Trigger for sure.

[@HDRookie]

I mean just look at the campfire scene, they know what they're doing lol

OST literally composed by the same person as Chrono Trigger, too.

[@endrgar]

The developers said that they are inspired by the classic jrpg and their main inspirer is Chrono trigger. They even invited the composer chrono trigger to write the soundtrack.

[@abbasaltake1414]

@@moonlitwyvern6840 No he is just guest composer. Probably will do one track and thats it.

this is setting a new standard for pixel art rpgs. so beautiful day and night cycle, love the battle transition, just overall beautiful visuals. if the gameplay is top notch it will probably be one of my fave games of 2022

I’m not a huge into JRPG’s, but after playing Chrono Trigger 25 years ago, it stands as not only my favorite JRPG, but one of my favorite video games of all time. It’s great to see games made in CT’s image, and I’ll gladly support those games. Looking forward to this game!

[@dandylion247]

@alex dragner the boss fights are strait out of chrono trigger, the rest is secret of mana

[@exiled.replica]

Well said, my sentiments exactly.

[@anonymone453]

For how awesome Chrono Trigger was, it's odd it has so few spiritual successors. Looking forward to this game, it looks incredible.

[@sinteleon]

Chrono Trigger was very much ahead of it's time.

[@sulblazer]

@@sinteleon And behind the times.

[@Jbayz]

I think its hard to tackle the lightening in a bottle that the game was.

[@thejordyoshi]

@@sulblazer And outside of time.

[@erwinekkel9676]

Apparently it's very hard to make a decent sequel. Look at secret of mana. Amazing games. All the follow up games are increasingly worse. Same goes for setlers 2, gta San Andreas and final fantasy 7.

[@tronclay]

looks absolutely gorgeous and really gives off some old school rpg vibes.... This game reminded me of the Lunar series of rpgs. I so badly wish they would make another Lunar or Golden Sun game!

[@Wolf_Man_Jack]

This definitely gave me Golden Sun nostalgia

[@sdm161]

Exactly! I agree they’re missing out on some great Golden Sun material for future games!

[@Momosun2018]

Thought I was the only one getting Golden Sun vibes. Great to see others feeling the same way.

[@briantaylorcloe7725]

Definitely need Lunar, Shining\Dragon Force, Phantasy Star, Popful Mail, Albert's Odyssey, Dark Savior classic type of RPGs again, please ~

[@ricardojontorres5268]

altough im late, i also want to express my feeling of the golden sun vibe that the trailer gave me. (also, if they make a golden sun game, the name of that wouldnt be something like silver moon?)

[@sxdbxys]

Having supported this game on Kickstarter and followed its development for the past two years, I can't even begin to describe how excited I am to play it. Especially on the Switch!

[@randyh.7782]

I backed this on Kickstarter as well. I also backed Goodboy Galaxy.

[@ZhenYaoYin]

0:48 Ah, Lavos, we meet again

[@YukiMizuno]

I am in love with this… Indie games really are special.

[@Spaggers]

They really are! I hope someday these indie developers grow to become big.

[@jowwo8827]

To be honest, seeing the state of "AAA" games, I feel the Indie qualificative is out of touch. Most "indie" project are way better in terms of quality.

[@datatsushi2016]

@@Spaggers But then they stop being original and quality goes down because of higher up interference from the big bosses. Sure they'd have a higher budget, but very strict deadlines and guidelines too. The higher the budget the more you need to sell and thus you have to cater to modern audiences alot more with barely any room for creativity or vision anymore. Look at all the big companies. It's basically all Multiplayer shooters and Battle Royale and copy/paste Open World games that they make.

[@Spaggers]

@@datatsushi2016 Originality is meaningless. Every game made there's a game that "did it before". Variation is key. I think it's good that people do make the same types of games when it's handled differently. It creates preference. Originality grows stale as the years go by.

[@datatsushi2016]

@@Spaggers How does it feel to completely miss the point? also: Originality is meaningless? What kind of stupid statement is that? Lmao. Have some higher standards guy.

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

The messanger was such a sick game, I’m still playing through it but it is wildly dope. If it’s those creators then I’m down for it for sure. It looks amazing from everything it’s offering, finally an RPG that just captures me like nothing. Even cooler that this is set in the same world and a supposed prequel like cmon that’s so sick. Cherry on top.

[@jfricci807]

Knowing this is from the developers of the messenger and its a prequel got me more exited than silksong.

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

I loved The Messenger, and this type of game is right up my alley. However, even though I knew both games were being made by the same developers I was not aware Sea of Stars was a prequel to The Messenger?

[@VanadiumVoxel]

Normally I despise these sorts of "retro" RPG games as I never found the appeal, but this actually not only intrigued me, but I got so hyped for this as well, cannot wait to start playing this game!

[@TheOriginalKvhups]

TMNT... and now this? That's it, I'm getting a Nintendo Switch.

[@Doomerang01]

I backed this on kickstarter and I remember when Yasunori Mitsuda was announced as a guest composer. It says a lot when Mitsuda was so impressed by the game's concept that he actually asked to be a guest composer, rather than the team reaching out to him.

[@Lord_Aghast]

Honestly, this game looks quite intriguing. I think I’ll have to give it a try when it comes out. I’m always on the lookout for genuine oldschool feeling role playing games, and this one seems to hit every target.

[@CristianQuirozC]

This hits me right in my chrono trigger feels, can't wait to play this. That concert bit at the end, literally chills, the music is fantastic.

[@marinilsrud2681]

My husband and I backed this game on Kickstarter several years ago now, and we've played it ourselves last year (demo only for backers), the combat is really good, the music is outstanding, the art is perfect... Aaaaand it's also in the same universe as their previous game "The Messenger"! You guys are gonna love this one ^_^

[@jjthecat9692]

I absolutely loved the Messenger so on that basis alone, I'm sold, however, I'm not the biggest fan of JRPGs but I'll be happy to buy it, check it out and support the development team.

[@AJ-ds5gf]

My husband and I had dinner with the creators of this game and had a chance to play an extended demo. The combat is fantastic, the music is sublime and the art is gorgeous... We got a "behind the scenes" peek at their dev process. And as you'd said, it's in the same universe as their previous game "The Messenger"! You and your husband will love this game ;)

You know I can't say I was ever expecting someone to make a spiritual successor to Chrono and Golden Sun at the same time, while clearly also knowing and respecting the Xeno series, but I'm sure not complaining!

Apparently this is prequel to The Messenger, set hundreds of thousands of years before. Insanely distant. Also seems like different vibes, this seems more serious. Super excited

[@AndroidHarris]

I dont usually like oldstyled like square rpgs or other basic turned based rpgs but the pixel style looks great. It's not just SNES it looks very gameboy advance or ds era and I love that. Also the enemies look very unique and not like your basic goblins and slimes. I loved the messenger too so its definitely on my wishlist.

[@chriss.9398]

I am the same way with turn based RPG's. However, this game looks beautiful, so I am conflicted lol

[@blackmanlistening7909]

I dont like the style of graphics of old Final fantasy (compare to advanced game graphics). But I like the game play. Why are they constantly forcing old school graphics. The reason they was loved back then is because they was CUTTING EDGE back then. Now they are trailing far behind.

[@rpg_haven]

GBA and SNES graphics are the same thing. The GBA is basically a portable SNES.

[@AndroidHarris]

@@rpg_haven nah it's slightly better. You can see the graphical difference between games like earthbound and mother 3, link to the past and minish cap, kirby super star and amazing mirror. The SNES must have not had much data because the animations there are pretty limited while on gameboy advance everything can be way more polished without cutting any corners. Also I think the sound on gameboy is improved compared to SNES. I also said it was more best of gameboy advance/ds graphics and ds definitely had way better graphics.
