So happy to have backed this. I still remember the first discord demo years ago and now we're days away from the full release. Congrats to all the Sabo crew!
One detail I really appreciate just watching this trailer is how great the sound effects are! A lot of care to make them sound "video-gamey" and "crunchy" was clearly taken and I appreciate that.
Just started the game.. let me tell you. I have been looking for a game that would make me feel like “I want to get back home and continue playing” finally found it. The music, visuals, story, combat system it’s so on freaking point..
Just completed the true ending and I must say, this game went above and beyond my expectations. I went in expecting a good nostalgia fueled adventure but instead, I came out after 40 hours feeling that this game got the closest to delivering that Chrono Trigger magic, something that no other indie jrpg has ever been able to do. Congratulations Sabotage studio on creating a masterpiece! I'm really looking forward to the DLC now 😁
Literal chills on the back of my neck while watching the trailer. I'm so glad I backed you guys on this passion project. It's amazing to have watched the progression over the years, and I can't believe the time has finally almost arrived to enjoy the time and effort you've sunk into delivering something so amazing for everyone to enjoy!
I cannot thank you guys enough for this game. As someone who mowed lawns all summer to buy Earthbound and spend hundreds of hours hunting every Chrono Trigger ending, this game feels like a love letter directly to my soul. You guys definitely capture the feeling of spending my afterschool hours on my SNES.
I’m not an RPG fan typically but I gave this game a shot after seeing a stream of it, and I’ve played it all the way through and is one of my favorite games ever. 23ish hours thus far, plan to go back and 100% it down the line. Amazing work, thank you so much for everything Sabotage :)
For a second there I thought it was gonna be a surprise release a couple days early. I was about to tell my boss that I needed a personal day. Looking awesome guys. I can’t wait. Just watched the Escapist documentary this morning.
I'm so happy we're finally coming up on launch day. This game has located and pushed every nostalgia button I have, including a few I didn't even know were there. Can't wait to finally play it. Thanks, and congratulations on the launch!
This is the first game I'll be playing of yours, but I really get strong Supergiant Games vibes from your studio so far. All their games have been great and you can tell they love what they do, just as this game clearly shows as well. Wishing you all the best and I'm sure this game will do amazing...as will your future titles if you keep giving them all the love and attention this game was given.
I cannot wait for this to come out. I've been following closely for as long as I've known about it, and as I was watching the recent "Making of" video and listening to the music made by Mitsuda and watching the visuals I legitimately felt like a little kid sitting in front of my old SNES playing Chrono Trigger again for the first time. I'm genuinely excited to play this. Thank you for taking the time to create something amazing.
Hell yes it is almost time for this masterpiece. When Messenger came out it was "this is a really cool game, and I'll keep my eyes on what this team does in the future" with sea of stars Sabotage has quickly become a wholly trusted dev team. They are making games for the right reasons and making the games my soul needs. Love you guys and I hope for nothing but success, love, and laughter in your offices.
This looks like a massive love letter to RPG classics of the 90s and early 00s, like Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Legend of Mana, Breath of Fire and etc.
I've been jamming on this game for a few days and yet again you guys crushed it! Congratulations and thank you for all the hard work you put into your games
@@ignoreme1141please note that Yasunori Mitsuda himself composed music for this game, and he's said that it compares quite well with what he wrote for Chrono Trigger. ;)
Hey guys.... just wanted to say, I'm happy for yall. The amount of attention to detail and work put in, incredible! I can feel the greatness in this game and I haven't even touched it yet. Many blessings, keep up the great work! Much love.
This looks phenomenal. I'm so glad to have supported Saborage's Kickstarter to make this happen. The time, work, and talent put in really shows; incredible studio.
I been commenting to almost every video you guys upload to share my hype. I'm just sooo happy this is gonna release soon. Played the demo and loved it! Congrats team! Hope this game is a huge success! I will talk to all my friends about it
I’m in my mid thirties and haven’t played a full turn based rpg in what feels like 5-10 years. For some reason I’m really excited to pick this game up and play the whole thing myself instead of watching someone play it.
The Sunken Shrine theme was always my favorite from The Messenger and I love how it's worked into multiple tracks in this game. Super excited for the release!
The Messenger was my favorite game in 2018 and for the following 4 years. To say I can't wait is an understatement! Sabotage Studios knows how to make incredible games!
So excited, one week from today!! Congrats to the entire team!! I have enjoyed watching your progress over the last few years and so excited to play the full game. 🤩 For me it all started with Chrono Trigger and I've been a passionate gamer since and have also loved game music from that era so I am especially excited for the soundtrack! 🥰
I funded this after playing the Messenger and while I am not far, I am genuinely impressed by the level design and how cleverly so many items are hidden for people who love to explore. Not enough games anymore hide things. Everything had to be obvious with markers, where Sea of Stars rewards you for jumping down into the mists to find a hidden chest. I love it.
This is probably the best looking pixel art game I've ever seen. I can't say anything about the gameplay and content, but by visuals alone this is already a masterpiece.
Today's triple A games are all pretty much cookie cutter assembly line conformist products that take no risk. They've become boring. Indie games are the future!
LOVE the small hints to Sabotage's previous work, at 0:12 being from The Sunken Shrine level. Can't wait to play the game, The Messenger made me back this game so am reallllly excited to see how far Sabotage has pushed their limits! Much love
i can't believe this game is coming out in a week already... it's been such a wonderful trip! you guys did a wonderful job, i can't wait to play the game
Saw this popping up everywhere for a couple days now and decided to check it out. I'm glad that i did 😊. I'll be picking up a physical copy when it's out next year. Also, congrats on the massive achievement (100k sale in a day!)
The best nostalgia trip from a game I’ve had in a long time, brings me a ton of peace playing such a fun game. Bravo Sabotage Studios, phenomenal game.
Playing this on PS5 right now and I’m blown away. It’s an incredible game. Nostalgic and still feels really fresh and new. Visuals are amazing, the story is great, the characters are fun and interesting, the story is kind of dark but has a lot of really light/wholesome moments. 10/10
I bought this game yesterday, it's been a long time without an excited experience like this, nostalgia like Golden Sun, this game is a masterpiece, congrats guys.
This might become up there as at least my top 20 if not 10 favourite RPGs of all time just off visuals alone. Now hopefully the story and characters can keep up. I like the premise already so I am very optimistic
Did a really good job with this, got to be said. Some good creative ideas in the area layouts, the musics good, some funny moments in the game and the art style is good. Very impressed with it, hope you do another one. Great job!
I’ve played the demo multiple times on my Switch, became one of my most anticipated games in a year of amazing games. absolutely gorgeous artstyle, pixel art done right, and satisfying turn based combat
THANK YOU FOR REVEALING NEW FOOTAGE AND A NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER! SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME! LET'S GO!!! :D (I gotta finish *"The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie"* ASAP so I can start playing this game afterwards! :D)
This game is just beautiful. Every time I see it, I feel like a little boy who is waiting for a game to release. Love the new charakter also! Cant wait to play this!
Loved the demo. Been running out of games to play lately so I might just have to scoop this up! I can see you guys put a lot of work into this and I really appreciate that. I can tell it's gonna be a great game
This game looks so beautiful, it's visually stunning. I enjoyed the demo and look forward to playing this next week. 1st time in years I'm buying a game at launch.
When it comes to pre-orders, normally I would say your being stupid and taking a big risk. Cyberpunk was the last straw for me.. But in this case... this game looks like a slam dunk!
Thanks for releasing a physical copy in 2024 as a physical games collector I’m so hype yo buy it twice and have this gem in my collection awesome job Sabotage
Ive been following this game since it was first revealed even though I won't play it (because im not a fan of the genre) it still looks beautiful and I hope it is a success
Félicitations pour le succès de votre jeu qui mérite toutes les accolades reçues!! Le visuel, la musique, le gameplay. Tout est excellent! Je n’ai que quelques heures de joué et déjà je peux dire qu’il s’agit de mon jeu de l’année! Aussi très content de voir un studio de Québec, ma ville natale, rayonner ainsi! En attendant la version en joual, bien content de voir des clins d’œil à notre culture. Malkomud the wizard! I see what you did there! ;)
Wooh boy, the music and the turn based battle gameplay makes me feel like a child again going through his first epic gaming adventure just like the classics did!
I didn't know this was a Kickstarter game. The crypt took me by surprise. A huge success, I'd say. Truly amazing game! (The encoded message in a certain room surprised me too. I expected something cooler than "a guy that likes puns" and "Shinji Hiryu" and "VulpineCaptain" etc., but I'm a sucker for ciphers, so it's all good.)
I choked on my drink when the monster on the cliff said “mountains are nice”. Great Chrono Trigger reference
It's clear how much love y'all poured into this game. Thanks for all the hard work - can't wait to play it.
So happy to have backed this. I still remember the first discord demo years ago and now we're days away from the full release. Congrats to all the Sabo crew!
How many years?
Let me speak for every backer: “WORTH THE WAIT.”
Agreed
Full on agree, the demo had already proven that for me though. :)
Yeah, the Demos have made it clear that this absolutely has been worth the wait (:
YES!!!🎉❤
Same. I backed really early on and have been excited for years about this
One detail I really appreciate just watching this trailer is how great the sound effects are! A lot of care to make them sound "video-gamey" and "crunchy" was clearly taken and I appreciate that.

Congratulations Sabotage studio on creating a masterpiece! I'm really looking forward to the DLC now 😁
The nostalgia is all coming back to me. Haven't heard of this game till now. Definitely going to take it.
After having waited all these years, the time has finally come. Thank you Sabotage Studio.
Literal chills on the back of my neck while watching the trailer. I'm so glad I backed you guys on this passion project. It's amazing to have watched the progression over the years, and I can't believe the time has finally almost arrived to enjoy the time and effort you've sunk into delivering something so amazing for everyone to enjoy!
From a fellow Quebec Studio to another, amazing work. We're fans of your games! Can't wait
I cannot thank you guys enough for this game. As someone who mowed lawns all summer to buy Earthbound and spend hundreds of hours hunting every Chrono Trigger ending, this game feels like a love letter directly to my soul. You guys definitely capture the feeling of spending my afterschool hours on my SNES.
Sea of Stars is the most hyped I've been for a game in many years. One more week!
I’m not an RPG fan typically but I gave this game a shot after seeing a stream of it, and I’ve played it all the way through and is one of my favorite games ever. 23ish hours thus far, plan to go back and 100% it down the line. Amazing work, thank you so much for everything Sabotage :)
Easily the most anticipated game of the year for me
I hope you guys keep updating even after released...theres always feedback that could improve QoL of the game
I've been thinking about this game every day, it's surreal it's finally coming out. This is going to be the longest week of my life.
For a second there I thought it was gonna be a surprise release a couple days early. I was about to tell my boss that I needed a personal day.
Looking awesome guys. I can’t wait. Just watched the Escapist documentary this morning.
WHEN BRO JUMPED OFF THE CLIFF!! 😳😳😳
WHEN HE CAME BACK WITH THE HEAT!!! 😳😳😳😳
I'm so happy we're finally coming up on launch day. This game has located and pushed every nostalgia button I have, including a few I didn't even know were there. Can't wait to finally play it. Thanks, and congratulations on the launch!
A true classic RPG game made with love and passion! Day one for me.
This is the first game I'll be playing of yours, but I really get strong Supergiant Games vibes from your studio so far. All their games have been great and you can tell they love what they do, just as this game clearly shows as well. Wishing you all the best and I'm sure this game will do amazing...as will your future titles if you keep giving them all the love and attention this game was given.
There's still time to go play The Messenger!
This looks wonderful! The Escapist interview made it sound like it was the studio's passion project and I'm glad you guys got to make it.
I cannot wait for this to come out. I've been following closely for as long as I've known about it, and as I was watching the recent "Making of" video and listening to the music made by Mitsuda and watching the visuals I legitimately felt like a little kid sitting in front of my old SNES playing Chrono Trigger again for the first time. I'm genuinely excited to play this. Thank you for taking the time to create something amazing.
Most anticipated game of the year. Counting down the days!

Absolutely stunning experience, visually, musically, and mechanically. Can't wait to dive into the story!
@@ignoreme1141please note that Yasunori Mitsuda himself composed music for this game, and he's said that it compares quite well with what he wrote for Chrono Trigger. ;)
Hey guys.... just wanted to say, I'm happy for yall. The amount of attention to detail and work put in, incredible! I can feel the greatness in this game and I haven't even touched it yet. Many blessings, keep up the great work! Much love.
I can not wait for this game, this trailer just made me MORE excited! Thank you Sabotage for all your hard work!
This looks phenomenal. I'm so glad to have supported Saborage's Kickstarter to make this happen. The time, work, and talent put in really shows; incredible studio.

I'm so freaking ready for this release! This may be one of the best kickstarter projects I've backed!
Buying this the very second it drops
I’m in my mid thirties and haven’t played a full turn based rpg in what feels like 5-10 years. For some reason I’m really excited to pick this game up and play the whole thing myself instead of watching someone play it.
A WEEK AWAY IM SO HYPED I CANT WAIT
The Sunken Shrine theme was always my favorite from The Messenger and I love how it's worked into multiple tracks in this game. Super excited for the release!
The Messenger was my favorite game in 2018 and for the following 4 years. To say I can't wait is an understatement! Sabotage Studios knows how to make incredible games!
Beyond the obvious astronomically amazing pixel art. I love how much this game feels like Suikoden. Kudos, I wish you guys all the best with this.
Hopefully this game will have a 40+ hour story. So visually appealing!
played the demo for about 10 minutes, then said to myself 'yep, I should buy this'.
beautiful game you guys have made.
Can't wait!!! Everything looks fantastic. I hope the story is as epic as the gfx and gameplay.
Man we have too many bangers this summer.
The wait is finally comming to an end !
So excited, one week from today!! Congrats to the entire team!! I have enjoyed watching your progress over the last few years and so excited to play the full game. 🤩
For me it all started with Chrono Trigger and I've been a passionate gamer since and have also loved game music from that era so I am especially excited for the soundtrack! 🥰

Absolute work of love and effort! And it will be launched on my birthday! What a gift!
1:03 Those wizards are the ones from The Messenger! 😊
Finally managed to buy it. Worth it for the ost alone. You ppl are amazing ! Keep up the good work !
Exuding Ridiculous levels of hype over here. ;P
Also, that pirate fall to summon the giant serpent was WAY TOO COOL.
Feels like yesterday I backed. This trailer gets me excited to see all the other secrets in store, I'm glad I watched it. Can't wait to play!
Man this game is absolutely stunning
This is probably the best looking pixel art game I've ever seen. I can't say anything about the gameplay and content, but by visuals alone this is already a masterpiece.
CANNOT WAIT! sometimes we don't need AAA open-world 3D titles, give us a nostalgic isometric game and watch it sell like hotcakes.
Today's triple A games are all pretty much cookie cutter assembly line conformist products that take no risk. They've become boring. Indie games are the future!
So glad to see this game finished! I can't wait for my download code and the shipping of the physical release!
LOVE the small hints to Sabotage's previous work, at 0:12 being from The Sunken Shrine level. Can't wait to play the game, The Messenger made me back this game so am reallllly excited to see how far Sabotage has pushed their limits!
Much love
The more I think about it, the more I realize that whole level in the messenger was probably a teaser to Sea of Stars lol
i can't believe this game is coming out in a week already... it's been such a wonderful trip! you guys did a wonderful job, i can't wait to play the game
Just discovered this existed yesterday, just watched the trailer a few minutes ago, and it’s now the top of my wishlist!
Never even heard of this, and haven't played a turn-based rpg in years, but Sea of Stars is now on my wishlist. This looks absolutely incredible!
Saw this popping up everywhere for a couple days now and decided to check it out. I'm glad that i did 😊. I'll be picking up a physical copy when it's out next year.
Also, congrats on the massive achievement (100k sale in a day!)
It's almost time, let's gooooo!
this trailer deserves to go viral not to mention the game. well done.
I backed this the first week and just the demo was worth it. This is going to be the longest week ever
I haven't been this excited for a game launch in a very long time. Thanks for bringing back the magic!
The best nostalgia trip from a game I’ve had in a long time, brings me a ton of peace playing such a fun game. Bravo Sabotage Studios, phenomenal game.

God this looks so good. Cannot wait for the physical copy to arrive!
Wow. I can't believe its finally here. It looks amazing. Im so proud to be a part of this project. Its going to be well worth it.
It's so so so beautiful! I looked at the visuals on my switch and that literally blew me away. This will be a masterpiece!!
Backed this quite early and so glad I did. This game is looking amazing.
I bought this game yesterday, it's been a long time without an excited experience like this, nostalgia like Golden Sun, this game is a masterpiece, congrats guys.
This might become up there as at least my top 20 if not 10 favourite RPGs of all time just off visuals alone. Now hopefully the story and characters can keep up. I like the premise already so I am very optimistic
i can feel the love put into this game. its gonna be a classic
Did a really good job with this, got to be said. Some good creative ideas in the area layouts, the musics good, some funny moments in the game and the art style is good. Very impressed with it, hope you do another one. Great job!
When the guy takes his shirt off and breaks the table I was actually bussin up.
Probably a nightmare to get the rights to do it, but when they finish off Berserk I could definitely see you doing one for that.
unlike thousands of other pixelated old school RPGs this one looks actually interesting and somewhat original
backing almost since day 1 it's been a long journey, I can't wait to get my hands on this game, congratulations to everyone at Sabotage!!
I played the demo a few times, can't wait to play the full game! You guys did an amazing job, I hope you'll get all the succes that you truly deserve!
Can't put into words how excited I am!
Chills, literally chills
I’ve played the demo multiple times on my Switch, became one of my most anticipated games in a year of amazing games. absolutely gorgeous artstyle, pixel art done right, and satisfying turn based combat
Been following this for years. So glad to see its finally coming out!
The game looks fantastic! In love from the first moment, I'm very excited for launch day!
I didn't hear about this game until after Kickstarter ended and I'm kicking myself. So excited for this!
THANK YOU FOR REVEALING NEW FOOTAGE AND A NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER! SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME! LET'S GO!!! :D
(I gotta finish *"The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie"* ASAP so I can start playing this game afterwards! :D)
I randomly stumbled across this, and I just want to say the graphics, music, sound design are beautiful. I'll be happy to give this game a try!
This game is just beautiful. Every time I see it, I feel like a little boy who is waiting for a game to release. Love the new charakter also! Cant wait to play this!

Félicitations pour le succès de votre jeu qui mérite toutes les accolades reçues!! Le visuel, la musique, le gameplay. Tout est excellent! Je n’ai que quelques heures de joué et déjà je peux dire qu’il s’agit de mon jeu de l’année!

Breathtaking!!! I am so excited!!!!
Can't wait for it, and I am so happy to be a backer for this indie. Thank you so much for reviving something like Chrono Trigger
Finally!!! My Game of the year. Cant wait to play. Have fun to everyone.
Wooh boy, the music and the turn based battle gameplay makes me feel like a child again going through his first epic gaming adventure just like the classics did!
Watching this after playing the game, and this trailer feels super confident. Absolutely justified because the game's incredible.
Consider me HYPED! Not surprised to see the cooking specialty given the similarity in naming between Sea of Stars and Star Ocean. ;)
This game looks amazing, love the detail on the sprites, yuo can tell alot of work and effort was put into this game!
I didn't know this was a Kickstarter game. The crypt took me by surprise. A huge success, I'd say. Truly amazing game!
