I am loving Sea of Stars. Such an amazing game! I definitely want to buy once a physical comes out.

[@cactusman07pim]

Sea of Stars is amazing. I double dipped already, got it digitally and pre-ordered it at Play-Asia.

[@Sir_Psych]

Oh shoes, pre orders are up?!

[@sarges1712]

@@Sir_Psych multi language is available at PlayAsia. I think the devs have said they plan to release a physical edition next year, though. quick search I came up with this, "Sea Of Stars Scores A Physical Release On Switch Early Next Year. Ahead of the digital launch of the retro-inspired RPG Sea of Stars, physical distributor 'iam8bit' and Sabotage Studio have announced a hard copy version is coming to the Nintendo Switch"

[@Madeen1982]

I love this game. I can see the references to Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia and Golden Sun. The french-canadian references are also a nice touch. Some story twists I saw coming and some I didn't. Combats can sometimes be long though. Also, they should have made Teaks playable.

[@NaikoArt]

this look quite incredible, like a proper evolution of the CT active combat

[@kuwrys9384]

ive never played chrono trigger but i dont even feel like playing it after witnessing the masterpiece that is sea of stars. congrats on the quebec studio sabotage for pulling this off

[@What_In_This_World]

Sea of Stars is absolutely amazing, but so is Chrono Trigger. You need to experience it at least once…or twice, or like 13 times…

[@kirindas4691]

Sea of Stars looks great. I'm definitely planning to get started when the physical edition launches.

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars are both on Xbox GamePass and Sea of Stars Demo is Kinda Hard

[@badboy-gn8fu]

i don't do gamepass

[@steveng774]

I’m actually really loving this game. It’s a hit in my opinion. Playing on Xbox series and I can’t stop playing

[@DJEject2008]

Wait for the Pysical release. ❤

[@1980latinlover]

I have this game due to PS Plus. I have to say, I'm diggin the art style. I'm diggin everything about the game so far. I do plan on getting this on Nintendo switch most definitely but since I already have it on PS plus I can hold out just for a little bit until I can save up for it.

[@CinemaKingTheaters]

When will we get the physical copies?

[@yvsliii5422]

Thanks again for introducing me to this game last year I love it I’m getting it on every system I have and physically on switch too

[@lightitupkb4624]

I’ve been playing this game on and off. This is a must buy foreal.

[@BanditPlays]

sea of stars is a great game. if you guys dont know, another game called the messenger takes place is the same world and playing that game expands on the lore and makes sea of stars even better

[@CalebByRamen]

What this game did with the art decisions, and what Suikoden is doing with their remasters, looks more pleasing to the eye than the HD2D SE is doing.

[@vinnymac102]

I think it's time for him to have another video saying which one he enjoys better sea a stars or chain echoes

[@NuiYabuko]

And why would he need to? Why does everything have to become a competition?

[@vinnymac102]

@@NuiYabuko because we are talking videogame which is nothing important. If you cannot have fun discussion then what are we doing

[@XBC3-4GOTY]

I Thought Chained Echoes was

[@sarges1712]

can't wait to dive into this one. Been looking forward to it since a friend put this on my radar last year. Just have to finish up ACVI then I'll probably, hopefully, jump into Sea of Stars. Here's hoping this game sells like hot cakes so the developers can create [hopefully] another gem.

[@matthewbarrios1028]

Seeing games like this and loving every minute of it makes me dream of a day that we get an HD2D remaster of the first Alundra game. I would empty my wallet for that

[@CalebByRamen]

im surprised Mario RPG wasnt one of the first games you mentioned influencing this game, besides CT.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

The pixel artwork reminds me heavily of the original Seiken Densetsu 3 / Trials of Mana, and that game is freakin' beautiful. Sea of Stars looks at least as good as that, so I'm here for it.

[@dannylachman1]

This is definitely a physical must buy. I'm almost 45 so this hits directly to that less worrisome time in high school. No taxes, no mortgage..... Just locking yourself up with bags of Lay's and playing secret of mana, xenogears, phantasy Star, chronic trigger, etc. Meanwhile your parents get worried, because you don't leave your room and they don't know if you're making any actual progress at school😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ladynikkie]

I played the demo that's not definitely planning to buy this but I want to physical copy of it

[@John-xt6ew]

Unfortunately im old enough to say i have played all the games you mentioned in this video. I loved them and if i didnt follow your videos i would have missed Sea of Stars. So once again i thank you and as always looking forward to your next video.

[@joebarrett29]

Loving this game gonna be sad when it’s over

[@karlmueller1980]

I’m really interested in sea of stars. I am planning on picking it up when it comes out physically later this year.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

I hope you can make a video comparison between Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes. Both great RPGs inspared by classic titles! Anyways, thank you for more reviews!

[@aaron6493]

Yes fantastic on Switch Light

[@badboy-gn8fu]

this is game square should have made in late 90s!!!

[@Simulati0n]

i'm conflicted, it's great that the game is available for PS Plus and Game Pass which I have both, however, I want to own this gem but really want to play it on steam deck but then OLED will look so fine on the switch. /sigh

[@aaron6493]

Golden Sun also OJ

[@TonyTyga90]

Tried it on Game Pass and then instantly bought it switch. Pretty darn game

[@samuraivader3814]

I'm seeing everyone talk about Sea of Stars. Word of mouth has been real good for this game.

[@andreaseriksson8121]

Amazing game!

[@dandelves]

Sitting at a comfortable 90%, this is currently my February 2024 game

[@matthewbarrios1028]

I WILL buy it when the physical launches. Until then I am playing it on Gamepass. As soon as preorders for Switch Physical go live, I will buy it.

[@dillonm2526]

Was hyped for this game, then lost interest. Now i cant wait to pick it up

[@PoPo-qp8zq]

Great game

[@themangomanjuice]

Very cool.

[@saeefa]

This was my most anticipated game of the year, however ngl, kinda disappointed, didn't quite live up to my expectations. not much exploration, bland characters, basic weapons, was exciting for fishing but not much incentive to do it. the storyline is pretty decent, graphics are amazing and I enjoyed some of the puzzles. 7.5 for me.

[@saeefa]

@@meryl17 Chrono Trigger came out in 1995, 28 years ago, it was ahead of its time at that period

[@HipnotikHylian]

CAP

[@NuiYabuko]

​@@HipnotikHylian What cap? It's their opinion, jeez.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

No offense but you're obviously a trigger fan boy... a game where the main char is a voiceless blank slate. You're kool with that but not kool with this? Make no sense at all but okay lol

[@Makore94]

How about the combat? The most frequent complain is that it’s very shallow, but otherwise looks amazing.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Silly complaint honestly. So many rpgs are just here's your next ability! No point in using the last ability now! Nope. Not this game. The depth in fighting is around the lock system, combo system, magic system, and timed hit system. Master all 4 and you will learn endless ways to tackle enemies.

[@IanHsieh]

I literally just finished the true ending of this game.

[@magnusschmidt1545]

No grind needed, that is a no for me

[@balidr]

I was realy disappointed with this game... The graphyc is really beautiful and the music too, but the combat is mediocre..and the story is a mess. They realy didnt had a concept of what kind of story they wanted to tell.... The main characters have no depth at all, no real personalitys at all, some of the side characters are much more interesting. Im really sorry for fealing this way about it because like I mentioned, the graphyc and music is realy good...but in a RPG the story and character design/growth should be the focus

[@saeefa]

I agree, graphics and the puzzles are good, however everything else was lacking, its an ok game but deffo overhyped, nowhere near as good as Chained Echoes.

[@HipnotikHylian]

Cap

[@balidr]

@@HipnotikHylian mate.. the Cap is that they advertised it as “inspired by Chrono trigger…” and what they did was they have copy pasted some aspects, of Chrono without making it adjust to their own story. If you played both games you know what I mean

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Another fool who likes the blank slate protagonist from trigger but all of the sudden it's bad when sea of stars does it. Moron lol

[@What_In_This_World]

@@balidr the two main characters are partially hollow shells, like Chrono was really nobody in the game, like how master chief was really nobody in the game, Valere and Zale are the same way. Look at all the other characters, soooo many great characters to interact with. Combat is limited and simple, but it’s very progressive and has puzzle like elements that change how you play by the end of the game. My biggest issue with the whole Sea of Stars vs Chained Echoes conversation that has gone on, is that it’s like trying to compare Chrono Trigger and FFVI… Why ? They shouldn’t be compared, they should be celebrated together for giving us two amazing games at a time we needed them. The fact they are both so different is exactly why the “VS” needs to be changed to a n “&”. As in, Sea of Stars & Chained Echoes, two of the best indie JRPGs ever made. Not, Sea of Stars vs Chained Echoes, why one is the best indie JRPG and one is the most overhyped indie JRPG. Which one is which ? Well that depends on who your favorite indie JRPG KZbinr is and which developer sponsored them, or which one wrote a bigger check…

[@ghosttimm420]

Sea of Stars is hands down my favorite game that’s come out this year 🤘it has a great story, breathtaking visuals, fun and interactive combat and sooo much more. If you haven’t bought this yet, you’re missing out!

[@Cormorant8805]

This game deserves a 7 score. The story is slow and boring with hollow dialogues and bland protagonists. Not every rpg needs a good story if the focus is the gameplay but in this case, the combat is very limited with only 4 moves per character, lack of interesting equipment, little exploration, simple puzzles; not giving freedom to the player, becoming repetitive very fast. The music don't always fit, it feels too forced at moments resulting in a lack of identity. Is weird that almost every review ignore this kind of details. Is not the gem I was hoping for.

[@ilirianbardhi7901]

🤦‍♀️

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

Nothing but negative things to say but you give a 7... a mostly positive score. Lol you drained your bamage

[@StrugglerChad]

This game does loook very fun Chrono Trigger is just pure joy and awesome too bad i never played it someday I’ll be able to play this and makes you feel like it’s a game for you.
