He’d been thinking lately, that his companions were quite light. Easily lifted when they asked him for a boost. And as they finished setting up camp for the night, B’st found himself contemplating some mischief.

I love Sea of Stars. Best indie this year no question. I fought the final boss yesterday and now I'm going for the true ending and I love this game.

The combat is really fun, the dramatic moments are great and the comedy is pure gold.

I love the recurring joke of Yolande's ______ is my middle name paying off. And the bread thing. Y'eet. Or the "Seraï didn't see the use of this but she followed along" in the spa. And the "I can't directly help you but, oh look, what you needed from me just happens to be here... and I can't stop you either so...."

The throwbacks and crear inspiration to Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPGs and other classics were great.

And I love Seraï. It's like somebody at the studio asked "what is cool?" And then proceded to combine everything they thought like, pirates and ninjas and portals and- also it's funny how everyone is like balancing when on a rope and Seraï is just walking, like normal. And her animation opening a portal with her back turned and attaking is perfect.

I love how everybody has so much personality in their animations. I love the special skill of B'st, it's so creative.

And Wheels is just incredible, I love the game. I already beat all champions but I keep going back because it's so much fun.

Anyways, Top tier game, 10/10, play it if you can.

Once more, with feeling. By which I mean, this time I am actually capable of feeling things other than blood vengeance.

THERE ARE STILL SO GODDAMN MANY STAIRS. WHY. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY--

Fuck it. As long as Garl's with us, we can handle even Aephorul's greatest defense.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, these last weeks. About Garl. I think if Garl were here, he'd say--

O.O

That is not what I thought you would say.

Garl, you are the best person who ever existed in this or any timeline.

Also, I have it on good authority that our bullshit is stronger than yours, so yes: Bring it, dickweasel. Just because you have the mojo to make horrific planet-killing abominations, that doesn't make you as tough as one. A summoner may conjure a mighty dragon but this does not make the summoner as strong as a dragon.

I think you're a cocky little nerd with a stick up his butt about Wizard supremacy, too full of himself to even care that the toys he's playing with are human lives.

I've been waiting for this moment since the day you killed Garl.

Thank you, Garl, for making it happen.

GO ON, HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT YOU DECAYING SEWAGE RAT!!!

Oh cool, that is just like B'st's--

OW. UNCOOL. But you're going to have to do better than that if you--

That is horrifying. What is wrong with you?

Fine. You're gross and powerful. But we have the Power of Friendship. And this APOCALYPTIC DRAGON we found!

Which technically qualifies as part of the Power of Friendship. That is literally what Power of Friendship means.

Man, I am glad friendly fire does not exist because hoo-wee.

Hey! HEY HEY HEY WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? Why you running, Skin Condition? I thought eternal pain awaited--

Oh, wait, did you mean for you? Sorry, I tend to assume people are talking about me when they say things. It's an ego thing.

CHOKE. ON. MY. RADIANCE. FUCKWORM.

*out of breath* Because... you're just a cocky little... nerd....

Holy shit, that was rough. @-@ Credit where it's due, you lived up to your reputation. But our bullshit is stronger than yours.

WHOO! That is how it's done! Alright, team, let's finish this. Zale, cut his head off. Garl, backpack. We're going to find out how immortal he really--

Oh, did you come to help us decapitate this cosmic shitstain?

HEY. NO. What the fuck, man? This is seriously how it's gonna be?

UGGGGGGGGGGH Fucking cosmic nerds. We had him. I can't believe you.

Do not give me that approving nod. You're officially on my Shit List for this.

I have now completed Sea of Stars, including collecting all the Rainbow Conches and unlocking the true ending. Here are some assorted thoughts about it (spoiler warning for those who haven't finished it):

I like how the game encourages you to use everything at your disposal, which includes skills and healing items. The MP recovery with basic attacks combined with live mana is a good stopgap for when you're tapped out, and allows you to develop a sort of rhythm to combat. Recovery items are also relatively easy to get between the recipes and abundant ingredients, including the best ones in the game.

The Lock system offers a great deal of complexity and strategy to combat, and encourages you to use pretty much all skills and party members to the fullest

The combo system is great and offers a wide variety of techniques and abilities that helps keep the combat fresh and exciting. The fact that it clearly harkens back to Chrono Trigger doesn't hurt, either. (Just an FYI, I will likely be making a lot of comparisons to CT, because a) it's inevitable given it's a direct inspiration and even brought on Yasunori Mitsuda to compose a few tracks, and b) it's my favorite game, so yeah)

That said, I feel like each of the party members could have had two additional base skills to vary the combat a bit more outside of the combo system. Speaking of which, I kinda wish there were 3-way combos, as well. Just imagine what they could have pulled off with those...

On another critical note, there's a curious lack of status effects, which I felt might have added some nice flavor. I feel like this was mostly replaced by the Lock system, and odds are incorporating status effects might break the flow of the game. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing stuff like poison or sleep or whatever. This might just be a personal taste thing, as I'm sure plenty of people are glad that this was omitted.

The folks at Sabotage managed two incredible character feats imo: They managed to create a character who is widely beloved both in- and out-of-universe without going overboard (Garl), and they were able to have a character who is literally a cyborg ninja pirate without it being silly or cringeworthy, and in fact is one of the more serious and narratively dense characters in the game (Seraï)

In fact, I would say most of the characters are quite memorable and likeable, and it's easy to become attached and invested in their arcs. The main exceptions are, unfortunately, Valere and Zale, who I think suffer a bit from generic main character syndrome and being tied to a Chosen One narrative. Also, B'st comes in a tad late into the game for him to have much impact, and his whole trait of having a strong will kinda falls flat when not much time is given to his backstory or development. That said, these are relatively minor gripes on my part, and I definitely don't dislike any of them.

The soundtrack is fantastic, naturally. Standout tracks for me include Encounter Elite (boss battle) and Mountain Trail, though plenty of other tracks are also great.

I was able to recognize the Chrono Trigger-inspired narrative elements (time manipulation, post-apocalyptic future world, going back to a moment in time to swap out a major character to save them from death), and it made me happy to encounter these.

The art direction and character design are immaculate. To put it in as few words as possible, everything is appropriately appealing and appalling as is called for.

Overall, I enjoyed this game immensely, and it kept me occupied for a good long while. I would highly recommend picking it up for your platform of choice. If I were to give it a numerical score, I'd say 9/10.

#sea of stars #game review #oops this turned into a full-blown review lmao

[smaller-comfort]

B'st rates his companions on their chuckability:

Valere: always lands on her feet, even if you catch her by surprise; does a sweet backflip most of the time. 8/10

Zale: even more impressive acrobatics than Valere; makes a funny noise when you pick him up. 9/10

Garl: extremely satisfying to heft, but not very aerodynamic; does not land on his feet. 6/10

Serai: will open a portal in midair so she can jump kick you from behind; not recommended. 1/10

Resh'an (puppet): weighs nothing and ragdolls in the air; with a good tailwind you can chuck him across camp and then some. 9/10

Resh'an (real): usually turns into a bird in mid-air; not actually that satisfying to chuck, but his feathers get extremely ruffled. 7/10

Teaks: What are you, some kind of monster? She's so small and pink haired. Exempt from chucking; willing to take notes when someone else is tossed.

Artificer: Rolls up into a ball and insists on calling it the 'canonball special'; has figured out how to cause explosions when he lands. 10/10, but try not to do it near inhabited structures.

#sea of stars #nattering #post-game resh'an does *not* turn into the great eagle; 10/10 for how completely and hilariously unprepared he is to deal with gravity #it goes up to a 15/10 if serai gets involved and portals him into a freefall loop #this particular stupid meme has been sitting in the back of my head for a very long time #also every time i see b'st's :T face i lose my shit

[anxiousanteaterr]

Of course B'st uses songster magic or whatever the fuck its called. of course theres another bard. A bardbarian, even.

#sea of stars #sea of stars spoilers #i love him tho #i like how unique and fluid his animations are #extreme flexing from the pixel art team on that one #had a fight recently where valere went nuts w the moonerang and then bst finished them off w an elbow drop #the two of them would be unstoppable tbh tbf tbqfhf
