Lost Sphear - Like Chrono Trigger

by Hiddenx, 2017-10-09 22:01:32

The J-RPG Lost Sphear will be released on January 23, 2018. PCGamesN has written a preview:

Lost Sphear is the Chrono Trigger remake I've been waiting for

I did not know games like Lost Sphear were still allowed to be made. Perhaps that says more for my tastes over the last few years than the actual development efforts of the world’s RPG studios. But look, if it wasn’t for the distinctive name, you would easily mistake Lost Sphear for being a remade SNES classic. Beyond that however, Lost Sphear manages to modernise what it mimics in the best way possible - it exploits the simple art style and retro aesthetic to make room for more systems, more characters, more options, and simply more everything.
[...]

There are still elements I would like to see improved before the January 23 release date - it is the 21st century, we should be able to buy new gear, equip it, and sell what it replaced all in the same menu, thank you very much - but Lost Sphear is looking very promising. If I am able to find the time for another massive JRPG in my life, this one is top of my list to check out.
