I read about this game months ago, when it was released I was very glad to see that it was on PS Plus from Day 1. Since I am already subscribed to PS Plus, I have downloaded it and playing it right now. I really like the game up until now.

I will probably try the studio's other games like The Messenger when I'm done!

Yeah I absolutely loved sea of stars. I thought it was great the whole way through. Fun characters, and solid combat.

It has a great flow and story but ends up getting unfinished and thin towards the end. Also locking the real and only somewhat better ending behind a bunch of fetch quests and all 60 conchs sucks.

Loved it. 10/10

I feel like the true ending cheapened a specific plot point but I was happy it happened anyway.

Haha, it so did and it's so good anyway

The messenger ~~is actually a prequel to~~ takes place before Sea of Stars. Sea of Stars is a really great RPG but it bugged me that some of the answers to the questions I had could be found in the prequel

I might be a bit unusual, but I feel like the main thing I'm looking for in a JRPG isn't just good characters, but good storyline that gives each of those characters real moments to shine. Something in the vein of Cloud Strife

. I have heard that Sea of Stars has one really impactful/good character in your party, but not heard much in the way of super-heavy story beats; and it's seemed the same way for a lot of JRPGs that have come from the indie sphere.

I saw it the other day and it looked pretty interesting. RPG, turn based combat, multiple characters ticks a bunch of boxes for what me and my gf usually play but then I saw it doesn’t have coop/multiplayer. But it might come out soon so I will definitely get it when that happens. The game seems pretty cool and highly rated.
