And here's a little streaming they had with the director of the game:
I fucking really like this. The combination of cold colours (the snowy environment) and warm colours (houses' interiors, characters' clothes, trees...) is just so perfect. Although I'm a sucker for wintery snowy settings, as they really remind me of my childhood in my grandparent's village in northern Spain, so yeah, I'm a bit biased.
The combat gives me a Chrono Trigger vibe, which is obviously the best thing in the world. I hope the combat is fun and deep; at least, it looks fast and seamless, which is about the only thing I can't really stomach anymore unless the transitions are really fast and the combat fun.
I like the characters' designs, too, as well as their game models. Even if they might not be the greatest designs, I like the red scheme on the girl and the arctic samurai vibe I get from the male character. They've said that there'll be more characters in your party, so that's cool.
Hopefully the game is long enough (and not a short experiment) and has a nice story (I really get a feeling of melancholy and sadness from the trailers, which could lead to something great). If everything goes alright, this could potentially be a new ongoing series, which is great since S-E really needs some of that fresh JRPG magic back.
So yeah, I really want and need something that gives me the same (or a similar) feeling I got growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, and this is really close to that.
