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.

Opinion: I think all of the characters have very interesting, often emotionally moving arcs, but I can certainly understand why most players are focused on one character in particular.

That said, it's a game that demands 100% to get a really satisfying conclusion though. That wouldn't be a problem, but 100%includes collecting all 60 of the arbitrarily hidden shiny things across the game, which is quite obnoxious.
