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!
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.
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.
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!
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?)
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!
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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 ^_^
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.
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 ;)
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
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!
Easily one of my top 5 anticipated games of '22. I've been eyeing this one for almost a year now! Also WHAT?!!? I had NO IDEA Mitsuda was gonna be involved. The hype just doubled.
Honestly the only game I cared about during the direct. Gives me FF6 and Chrono Trigger vibes. Looks really fun! I hope I remember to get it when it comes out!
I’ve seen this game on Twitter before and I was already interested then. But I had no idea Yasunori Mitsuda was doing the soundtrack! That like doubled my interest on its own!
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.
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 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.
This game looks..... *intriguing* (gameplay/music is Chrono Trigger and I LOVE that part, but I'm not sure about the story from what they've stated so far). It will definitely be on my radar next year though.
From the first unveiling this was already bought. Indie games like this for the last 2 generations, have made gaming that much more worth the adventure.
Looks interesting though as a long time Star Ocean fan it's gonna be hard to not have that game in the back of my mind since the titles are just two different ways to express the same concept.
The visuals are definitely feeling pretty underwhelming to me after playing Octopath Traveler but it looks like there’ll be some more interesting mechanics in this game
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.
Xenoblade Chonicles 1 and 2, Inazuma Eleven, Chrono Trigger and Cross, Xenogears, etc. This guy is a legend. It's absolutely incredible.
@@r.c.c.10 And Mario Party 1. Can't forget Mario Party 1.
@@jacobmonks3722 Wow, that's surprising, hehe.
I didn't know that.
Can’t forget xenosaga if you mention the other xeno games
@@bullsteak3468 Very true.
My nostalgia meter is fully charged. This looks and sounds beautiful.

@alex dragner the boss fights are strait out of chrono trigger, the rest is secret of mana
Well said, my sentiments exactly.
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.
I mean just look at the campfire scene, they know what they're doing lol
@@HDRookie look at 0:46 and tell me those two enemies are not inspired by lavos.
OST literally composed by the same person as Chrono Trigger, too.
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.
@@moonlitwyvern6840 No he is just guest composer. Probably will do one track and thats it.
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!
This definitely gave me Golden Sun nostalgia
Exactly! I agree they’re missing out on some great Golden Sun material for future games!
Thought I was the only one getting Golden Sun vibes. Great to see others feeling the same way.
Definitely need Lunar, Shining\Dragon Force, Phantasy Star, Popful Mail, Albert's Odyssey, Dark Savior classic type of RPGs again, please ~
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?)
Can’t wait to play it!

been ages since i backed this game, looks more beautiful each time they show it
I feel the same way. I am so happy I backed this project.

I also backed this project. Cant wait to get an email regarding my code

How long ago was the funding campaign?
I keep coming back to this trailer waiting for it to release😭 it looks amazing
For how awesome Chrono Trigger was, it's odd it has so few spiritual successors. Looking forward to this game, it looks incredible.
Chrono Trigger was very much ahead of it's time.

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

That concert bit at the end, literally chills, the music is fantastic.
This looks really cool. Can't wait to give it a spin. Love me some classic RPGs
0:48 Ah, Lavos, we meet again
This game looks so good! Definitely something I have my eye on, just wish it was not a full year out still.
I want this game more than any game I've seen in the last 10 years.

I am in love with this… Indie games really are special.
They really are! I hope someday these indie developers grow to become big.

Im not really a 2d RPG person but after playing the messenger, I feel like these guys can’t miss

Thank you for supporting a great game.
Yeah thanks... Looks killer!
Yeah me too! Can’t believe it’s been that long already . One more year isn’t so bad, the game looks incredible!
Looking forward to us backers getting our physical copies. This game is looking great!
Same lol I was watching this like…. Wait a minute. XD
This game will be become a masterpiece
This game feels like everything I’ve ever asked for. So stoked!
footstep sounds *chefs kiss*
"From the creators of The Messang..." SOLD, YOU ARE ALREADY SOLD IT TO ME,

There will be 6 total

Also WHAT?!!? I had NO IDEA Mitsuda was gonna be involved. The hype just doubled.
IM STILL WAITING FOR THIS !
Looks great, just wish it was releasing sooner! Hopefully it gets a wide physical release too, don’t be “limited”.
I would personally like to thank the TH-cam algorithm and my FBI agent for recommending this trailer after 4 months. Y'all are real ones.
THIS was the star of the show for me. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Looks amazing
I agree wholeheartedly the other games during the premier didn’t interest me in the slightest but this did
I haven't been impress with any rpgs in ages. This looks incredible and exactly what ive wanted.
this makes me want to play golden sun again
All the references to chrono trigger in this trailer alone hit different.
Chrono Trigger's spiritual successor finally! Can't wait to play :D
Que coisa mais linda!!!
Can’t wait to play it!

This RPG looks kinda sick. I can't wait to give them my money.
It’s finally here.
Too far away , I want this game NOW!

The music had me, the gameplay was just the icing on the cake
This looks cool ngl
the sprite art is GORGEOUS
Never played The Messenger, but this looks incredible! I’ll have to give it a go I guess
It was a completely different game tho,rather than a JRPG it was a platformer....it was a really good game in its own ways but different genre
Gorgeous in every corner and way
This looks so good! I LOVE RPGs and the turn based will always be a classic ♥️
ive been looking for games like this for so long, nostalgic RPG games, i am definitely going to get this
This type of game is my cup of tea, day one for me
I ordered the soundtrack to Chrono Trigger from Japan when I was a kid. This looks great. Also, that Lavos looking enemy. Well done.

been waiting this game for so long. 2022 will be a great year

Looks like something Beyond a reflect spell dynamic is going on in this game. Interesting.
this looks amazing!! so glad I randomly found this trailer lol
Turn-based RPG is one of my favorite type of game. I expect to play when was launched
This is the most completely not generic pixel art I have seen in a long long time
The pixel art style is beautiful!
How fantastic! I've been excited for this ever since The Messenger! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Giving off so many classic rpg styles here i cant wait to play this on switch man
This gives me nostalgia of the PS1 era and all the fun RPGs from those days.
The Messenger’s story (stories?) was one of its most charming characteristics. There’s simply no way I’m missing out on this game.
Can't wait to play this little perl!
