      Sometimes I’m angry that my kids basically own our Switch, but then other times I feel like it’s a blessing, because both of those games are the kind that I would get 100% lost in. Plus I have a collectible problem. 900 nuts, you say? Ok, I’ll find them.

    I'm 35 and grew up with Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, FF4-10, Xenogears, etc. This game has already been on my radar, slightly, but realistically I wasn't going to find time to play it. But you've sold me. I'm getting it. Yasunori Mitsuda is my favorite game composer, full stop. You ever watched the 20th anniversary concerts for Xenogears and/or Chrono Cross? They pop up on RUclips here and there and last a short while before getting taken down. I ended up buying the blu-ray for the Xenogears concert and it's just transcendent. Highly recommend it.

    Don't typically comment, but feel compelled to give a thumbs up with you for this game. I played the demo for Sea of Stars on Switch, and it's very, very good. I've been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced -- especially given that it's from the same studio that created The Messenger -- one of the few recent games that I've played through multiple times.
    I'm looking forward to Sea of Stars for many reasons. The biggest one is that I don't think I'd mind playing with my younger children around. I used to play a lot of video games with my children watching, and that gets harder with a variety of ages (ranged 7 - 18 years, and different tastes for different ages) and with most gaming content edging ever higher towards the T rating. I played the demo with all of my children present, and everyone loved it. Sabotage's games thus far remind me the films Pixar made in the earlier Lasseter years. Hope that Sea of Stars doesn't disappoint.
    And much respect to you Greg for making these videos given your full household. I also have a full household, and find it hard enough just making time to *play* video games. Can't imagine the time to create content on them too. :)

    • @gregowen2022
      @gregowen2022  11 месяцев назад

      I greatly appreciate the support and kind words! It’s true, some of these games are getting wild. It’s weird how they didn’t seem bad when we were younger, but now it feels different. I was playing The Surge the other day and a kid walked in and a core mechanic of that game is taking people’s limbs off. It’s not extremely gory, but it felt awkward to explain.
      On the subject of games and family and videos, I have no idea what I’m going to do when this game drops and then Baldur’s Gate 3 comes to console the week after. Yikes. I’ve got to find a way to get rid of that pesky day job!

    I enjoyed the demo very much. My only complaint was as someone who didn't really play console rpgs (I got started on the SSI rpgs like Phantasie II, Roadwar 2000 and Wizard's Crown on an Apple IIe from the early 1980s and developed a taste for those types of rpgs) a lot of the controls weren't explained very well - particularly which keys on my keyboard corresponded to the controller buttons the tutorial was referring to. I literally had to randomly press keys to figure out which one let me go back a step on menus. Other than that, it was fun!
    [My first serious foray into JRPGs was Dragonquest IX and it was an amazing experience! Never really played Final Fantasy VII - just watched my roommates play it]
