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!
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

revealing he built up a fake persona based on his idol
, or FFXIV

having your team resolve a generations-long war against dragons
. 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.
