I'm pretty amped for this game. Breath of Death VII, Cthulu Saves the World, and Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 and 4 were hilarious JRPG style RPGs, so I am expecting the same quality from this game which is supposed to be their biggest and best yet. I hope it works on my laptop

This is on my radar too. But first I have to finish Trails in the Sky. Surely that can't take too long...

This actually looks nice Can't say that i've heard about this one until now.

Out of the few modern JRPGs that say they were inspired by Chrono Trigger, the trailer I saw of this game awhile back came the closest to capturing the CT vibe and seemed to have the most Triggerness out of all of them. This is certainly a large blip on my radar but I'm just too busy with too many other games right now to start it right now. But maybe someone else can jump in and let us know what it's like. Preferably someone who played a lot of Chrono Trigger.

It has all positive reviews on Steam so far. Many people are saying it's a cross between Chrono Trigger and Phantasy Star. I'll probably check it out when I have some time.

Their previous games were well received. I kickstarted but haven't played yet but it looks fun.

As KS backer, got the Steam key on HumbleBundle.
I'll install it, but dunno when will I play it. Especially if it's some handheld chrono trigger junkware I don't want on my PC. Saving anywhere should mean it's not a junkware, still have to c.

I grabbed it and am about 2 hours into it so far.

It's a lot of fun, I definitely don't consider this "junkware" - it's one of the more enjoyable JRPGs I've played lately. Combat is fast and fun, the lore/writing is on point.

I'm digging it.

I'm a couple days into Final Fantasy ten, might hit this one next-ish. The saving anywhere is a huge plus.
