I’ve been taking a trip through some of these “love letters” to “classic JRPGS” and I’ve got to say… I’m absolutely on board with the way these indy devs are paying homage to the classics. Sea of Stars, Chained Echoes…hell, even the star ocean second story remake was a great nostalgia trip. I just started Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes and it’s already got the makings of a solid game.

With a roster like that…who needs giant ass, bombastic, overpriced garbage? Give me a good story, loveable characters, and a journey that shows me what’s over the next hill.
