In case any of you are interested in an old 16 bit styled rpg, take a look at Chained Echos. I just started it today and it already has me hooked. So far it’s a more classic Final Fantasy medieval setting with warring nations that are at peace after a huge war for 150 years. Of course I very much doubt this peace will last that long.
The battle system is turned based, but pretty fast and with some fun mechanics. The biggest mechanic is managing this bar to stay in the green overdrive area where you deal more damage, take less damage and spells cost less. The level up mechanic is also very different from the norm in that you don’t really gain levels but get points you can put towards battle skills, passive skills or flat stat boosts after you beat a section. It seems like overleveling is impossible at least in this early section which makes the battles more challenging. Thankfully, you heal after every battle because you have to use your skills as your main attack and they cost this game’s MP. Later on it looks like you gain access to mechs.
Here’s a trailer for it:

I’ve heard really great things about chained echoes. It’s definitely on my radar.

If it helps Pyra/Mythra are releasing as a 2-pack in Japan. So I imagine the same thing will happen in the west

Point taken. Forgot this was the guy who tried to make his version of Baywatch look like the ultimate blockbuster. 😂
