A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

Sea of Stars

I've heard a lot of vague talk about it. I have Game Pass (which it's one). Does it live up to the hype? It might be my next try if/when I cool on Starfield.

It's directly Chrono Trigger inspired.

If this wasn't !PatientGamers, this'd be a lay up for Sea of Stars, and every comment would just say "Sea of Stars".

Nice. You definitely just nudged it up on my playlist.

What I've heard is that it's very much like Chrono Trigger aesthetics-wise but very different regarding writing quality. Now, a lot of people play JRPGs not necessarily for their plot, story, character motivation/development and quality of prose but for their particular atmosphere crafted by their use of graphics, music, animation/sprites, etc and there's nothing wrong with that, so maybe it will be your vibe

I played the demo and liked it a lot. Beautiful looking game that feels good to control. The only reason I'm not playing the full game is that I feel like I owe Baldur's Gate III my attention, since I so rarely buy new games :p
